After a successful emergency landing, the crew secures passengers but must investigate a slipped track rail and a loose panel. Suspicion quickly turns personal when a colleague accuses Captain Cole of causing the incident: "you did this on purpose." He is verbally attacked, threatened with dismissal, and humiliated when a colleague demands, "Get on your knees and lick my shoes clean," to let him keep a sales attendant job while his son's house plans are used against him. Others insist Cole saved everyone. The episode ends with his career unresolved as Sterling Airlines steps in, forcing a choice.
