Starving captives, including Caleb and Natalia, are held by human traffickers who promise food but say they'll sell them. When a girl demands meat and is struck, the captors mock and force the others to eat, escalating the confrontation. A stranger interrupts, declaring she is the Food Devourer from heaven and explains she was banished, lived in Chandler Village, reclaimed a family token, and was cheated by two men. She calls lightning to punish the deceivers and overturns the traffickers' control. She then frees the captives, leaving them stunned and their next step unresolved.
