Detailed Synopsis
Stringfellow Hawke and Dominic are testing the performance of Dominic's helicopter, when Dominic mentions they should be doing regular flights with Airwolf to keep it maintained. They land and Everett tells Dominic that he got a call from Angie. They get into Dominic's jeep and ride towards the Four Corners area. At the Last Chance bar, Tanya and Soldier (Firestorm)|Soldier listen as Eddie (Firestorm)|Eddie talks about seeing lights in the desert. Angie offers to get him food instead of more booze, but he refuses and asks for another shot. Eddie sees Soldier and his friend looking at him and asks him what he is looking at. Eddie lunges at Soldier and they start to fight as Dominic and Hawke enter the bar. They grab Eddie and Dominic drives his truck home while Hawke follows in Dominic's jeep. Dominic brings Eddie into his trailer and Eddie recalls how Dominic has carried him home numerous times. Before passing out, Eddie mumbles about seeing lights in the desert. They leave after Hawke asks Dominic how many times he is going to help Eddie. Eddie wakes up and grabs his liquor bottle and takes a drink. He goes outside and lights appear in the sky. Suddenly a mortar round hits near Eddie and he falls down unconscious and the lights disappear. He wakes up in the hospital and Dominic gives him some magazines to read and tells him he was screaming about snakes crawling on his body and he has to quit drinking. Eddie's heart rate elevates as he tells Dominic of the things he sees in the desert. Two Nurses walk in and one tells the other one to get the doctor. The Nurse then grabs Dominic and pulls him away as Eddie screams that what he saw was nothing from Earth. Back at the hangar, Dominic tells Hawke they should check out the area to see if Eddie was seeing things. They then get into Airwolf and take infrared and thermal scan photographs of the area. Dominic tells Hawke, Eddie used to be a pilot, but took to drinking when a plane he was flying crashed, causing numerous casualties. They fly back and Dominic picks up Eddie and brings him back to his trailer. As Dominic goes out to his jeep he sees lights in the sky. Eddie runs out and suddenly a loud screeching noise erupts from where the lights are. Hawke is looking at photos of the area they scanned yesterday when he comes across an area with a structure near Eddie's trailer.
