Bobby is drawing on an electronic drawing pad when Robert walks over and asks him what he is drawing. Bobby continues to draw and his drawing turns out to be the woman from a billboard he saw. Bobby has trouble reading the book and Robert makes a deal with him, if he finishes the book by Thanksgiving, they will go camping at Camp Crystal Lake. At the St. Julian's School's picnic, Robert tells Man in Crowd about Bobby's ability to draw exact images of things from memory. Man in Crowd doesn't believe Bobby can draw anything and Bobby and Robert smile and look at each other. Collins walks over to Robert and asks him to tell him about the scholarship program at St. Julian's School. Robert is then kidnapped by Keller and his men. Robert is brought before Clinton Maxwell and Maxwell tells Robert he wants his wing designs. Robert starts to have chest pains and Maxwell sends Rogers to get a doctor. After he is kidnapped, Bobby is taken to see Robert and Maxwell asks Bobby to draw the plans for the wings Robert was drawing. Later, Rogers takes Bobby to see Robert, who wakes up. Collins switches out guard duty with Rogers and when Dr. Stuart sees Rogers limping she asks him what is wrong. He tells her he has a boil and she tricks him into thinking it might be a sign of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and pushes him into the bathroom and tells him to soak his foot. Robert gives Bobby a piece of paper and tells him to run away and give it to the first person he sees. Dominic finds Robert without a pulse and initiates CPR, which revives Robert. Back at Robert's house, Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, Archangel offers to have the FIRM guard him the next time he is working on a sensitive project. Robert tells everyone he is going to take Bobby to Camp Crystal Lake.
