After Altair 818 diverts and a burning aircraft is landed without casualties, Ms. White is publicly hailed as the chief pilot. Privately she admits the real rescuer vanished and refuses to reveal the truth to avoid causing trouble for Calvin and Cody. She confesses regret over seven years loving the wrong man, says she asked for a divorce, and that caring for Stella will be enough. Daniel urges her to return to the cockpit and join his company to reclaim her glory. She resolves to reclaim her career and thanks him, but whether she'll accept remains unsettled.
