News breaks that Ray's company is in financial trouble, and Dalewood's residents decide to intervene immediately. Mr. Dalton leads the call, insisting Ray is 'one of us' and ordering everyone—young people and neighbors—to return home and help. Calls cascade: Adrian and Rex are summoned, concerts are cancelled, and the community prepares to head to Novaston. A scout then reports Adrian has been found at the hospital, creating an unexpected complication. Dalton rallies Dalewood to move out and back Ray, and they set off—support mobilized but the outcome still undecided.
