Summary
Vern is at Gate 33, holding Gwen’s hand as she’s wheeled off the Tourist Jetway. Sarah Demerest stands behind a fence, unnoticed, listening in to Vern’s conversation.
“I’m going to the hospital with her,” says Vern to the airport physician. The doctor signals to the attendants to take her to the ambulance. Vern follows, never noticing Sarah. Sarah watches them leave.
The scene shifts to the next morning. The 707 from TGA Flight 2 is parked in the TGA hangar. A crowd of people stare up at the starboard tail, including Mel, Tanya, Patroni, Anson Harris, and Cy Jordan.
An FAA investigator measures the size of the hole blown out of the starboard lavatory.
Joe Patroni walks under the tail of the 707, swinging a box of cigars that were given to him by Mel. He taps the underside of the aircraft with the cigar box.
“Nice going, sweetheart,” says Joe.
Anson Harris talks to Cy Jordan. “Remind me to send a thank-you note to Mister Boeing,” says Harris.
Mel takes hold of Tanya’s arm and they leave.
The scene shifts to Gate 33. Peter Coakley is driving a TGA cart carrying Ada Quonsett to the gate agents’ counter. Ada steps out of the cart and proceeds to the counter.
“Good morning,” says the agent. “First class, or economy?”
Ada makes an offended expression, and says, “First class!” She then turns to Peter Coakley, frowning. “You know,” she says, “It was much more fun the other way.”
The scene shifts back to the hangar. Mel and Tanya are walking toward the MelMobile.

Summary
Flight Two’s passengers are exiting from the First Class Jetway at Gate 33.
Suddenly, Inez Guerrero moves a velvet rope set up for crowd control and rushes to the exiting passengers, crying.
“I’m so sorry!” says Inez. “He didn’t mean it! He didn’t mean it! I’m sorry!” Inez stumbles past the wounded passengers, and walks up to Tanya, who hugs her.
“Inez…” says Tanya.
Meanwhile, at the Tourist Jetway, Dr. Compagno and the nun assisting him exit into the terminal. Compagno meets another man, who shakes his hand.
“I’m Dr. Nash, the airport physician,” says Nash. Sarah Demerest appears behind both doctors, on the other side of a waist-high fence.
“How do you do, I’m Dr. Compagno,” says Compagno. “It’s one of the stewardesses. She has splinters in the right eye. They may have penetrated.”
“There’s an ambulance waiting,” says Nash. “I’ll take her right to the hospital. I have an ophthalmic surgeon standing by. Any other complications?”
“Well,” says Compagno, “she has a fracture of the lower right arm. They’ll probably use a general for that. Before they decide on which type of anesthesia, better tell them that she’s pregnant.” Sarah Demerest overhears this.
“Here she comes,” says Compagno to Nash.
Gwen rolls up the Jetway, strapped to a gurney. She’s bandaged and her head is immobilized. Vern is with her, holding her hand.
“It’s all right, Captain,” says Nash. “We’ll take care of her.”

“A wheelchair!” calls Mel, locking the Jetway door open. Sarah leans over the railing to talk to Stewardess Maria.
“I’m Mrs. Demerest,” says Sarah. “Is the Captain–”
“He’ll be coming off the Tourist Jetway,” replies Maria. Maria grabs a wheelchair and heads back down the Jetway.
Mel turns around and looks at the approaching crowd. “All right, now, move back!” He turns to Ned. “Ned, get these people over there.”

“Hold on,” says Vern. “You’re gonna be all right. We’re going to make it!” Vern leans over and kisses her. Gwen squeezes Vern’s hand.
Flight Two arrives back at Gate 33.
There’s a rush of people through the terminal. “Please. Do not obstruct the tourist Jetway” intones an announcer.

Behind the attendants are Nash, the airport doctor, followed by Tanya and Mel. Sarah calls after them.
“They’re down – – everything’s fine,” says Mel.
“I was home, watching television, when -” begins Sarah.
“I know,” says Mel. “A newspaper picked up a mayday call and flashed it all over. They’re alright.” Harry Standish follows behind Mel.
“All passengers will deplane though the First Class Jetway,” intones the announcer. Peter Coakley holds the door open for the attendants with the gurney.
“Stand back, please!” says Mel to the growing crowd in front of the First Class Jetway.
“I’d like to get a statement,” says a TV reporter.
“I’ll have a statement for you later,” says Mel, “and you can talk to the Captain, too.”
“Please stand back, people, ” says Tanya, “This is too important. Please.”
Mel opens the Jetway door, just as Stewardess Maria arrives off the Jetway.
“We need a wheelchair!” says Maria.

Summary
Vern, Anson, and Cy are resting after their dramatic stop at the end of Runway Two-Niner.
Vern unbuckles his seat belt and turns to Harris. “Okay with you if Jordan watches the right side for a minute?” Harris nods. “I’ll be right back,” says Vern, climbing out of his seat.
Controller #4 says, “Global Two – – welcome home. Do you need a tow, or can you taxi, over?”
Harris looks up at the ceiling.
Controller #4 says, “Global Two, I say again: do you need a tow, or can you taxi, over?”
Harris responds, “We can taxi.”
Vern strides through the sea of passengers cheering him. He gets to the back of the plane and kneels down next to the prone Gwen. Sr. Katherine Grace takes Gwen’s pulse while Dr. Compagno looks on. The nun exchanges places with Vern, who looks down on Gwen.
“How is she, Doctor?” asks Vern.
“I think she’s going to be all right,” says Dr. Compagno.
“Can I speak to her?” asks Vern.
“Go ahead,” says the doctor. Vern leans in.
“Gwen,” says Vern, “it’s Vern. Can you hear me? If you can hear me, squeeze my hand.” Gwen squeezes, weakly.

Guest Host: Rory Aylward
Rory J. Aylward started out in the film industry as the assistant to a Literary Agent on Long Island, New York. After being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Reserve National Guard, he moved to Los Angeles to try his luck in Hollywood. Offered extra work on shows like “Tour of Duty” and “China Beach” he realized there was a market for someone who could deliver background actors who knew how to march, salute, handle firearms, etc. and formed VETS Military Advisors. After making a good impression on films such as “Robert Heinlein’s The Puppetmasters” and “Strange Days”, he was hired by Producer Stratton Leopold as the Military Technical Advisor on Fox’s “Courage Under Fire.” Working for director Ed Zwick inspired him to want to work on the more creative side of the business and as he added Technical Advisor credits he also began exploring opportunities to develop and produce his own projects. Aylward put his career on hold in early 2001 when he was asked to come on temporary active duty to conduct Anti-Terrorism courses for the National Interagency Civil-Military Institute in San Luis Obispo, California. He was there on September 11th and knew that his tour would be extended indefinitely. Indeed, he stayed at NICI until he left to serve as a producer on the Hallmark Channel film “Silent Night.” Afterwards he divided his time between the military and film before deploying to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (VIII) where he served as a Civil Affairs Officer on a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Nuristan Province (the setting of the film “The Man Who Would Be King”) and was awarded the Combat Action Badge. He returned from Afghanistan and was asked to help stand up a pilot program for the State Department to train civilians who would be working with the military. Aylward deployed again in the Spring of 2011 to Kunduz Province, where he served as the liaison to a German Provincial Reconstruction Team. He returned home a year later and continued to train both civilian and military audiences. He retired from the Army Reserve in 2013 after 26 years of service.
