Ten years ago, in Nightfall From Heaven, she and Hope fled a chaotic scene of death and destruction brought on by the sudden onset of the zombie apocalypse

The sky has fallen: ten years ago, in « The Night the Sky Fell », Iris and Hope fled through a chaotic scene of death and destruction brought on by the sudden appearance of the zombie apocalypse

As they were running through explosions, grabbing their parents’ hands, a plane crashed in their midst and the sisters were separated from each other

This loss played on Iris’ mind as the CRM visited the colony for Monument Day, an upcoming event commemorating the start of the apocalypse and the memory of the dead

As President of the Student Council, Iris led her peers on a bus trip to welcome the incoming CRM

Hope, who hid in the luggage compartment of the bus, changed her welcome banner to read: ‘Civil Republic sucks A **’, which angered Iris

Makeshift Cemetery: At their destination, Hope visited a makeshift cemetery and left flowers at her mother’s grave

« I’m sure you’re tired, » said Felix Carlucci (Nico Tortorella), a colony security guard. « It was probably a long trip from wherever you are ‘

« We shoot disturbance charges to disperse the sound, » she reassured Felix ‘We won’t draw anymore. We’re good enough at it, wherever we come from

The lieutenant colonel said there was talk of government officials joining them, but the RCN ‘was not comfortable sending civilians’

Secret passenger: Hope is stowed away on the bus, but her sister was part of the delegation

At home, Iris berated Hope for changing the banner, reminding her that their father was working with the CRM to end the plague of zombies

Iris prepared to deliver a speech on Memorial Day – so named, she said, « because we are all monuments of the past We have survived, and the rest have not. ‘

In her notebook, she drew a crashed plane, a DNA strand, an opening door, and a map of the United States, with question marks around anything that didn’t. was not Portland, Omaha or CRM territory

Strong personalities: Iris barely remembered the world before the apocalypse, but was sure she could change the future, while Hope didn’t trust authority and wanted more freedom

The next day, Iris visited her father’s office and still couldn’t find any messages from him

From her backpack, she pulled out “The Lost Rocks,” a 2011 book that investigated what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke, Virginia

His father had left messages there, the latter apologizing for missing Monument Day, and proposing, « Sending these messages is a risk, but I need you both to know that I’m fine ‘

Iris went to class, where she learned that Hope had been arrested for making alcohol in her bedroom

Felix, who was holding Hope in a cell, was the sisters’ temporary guardian, having also dated Will, their father’s head of security.

Iris took Hope out and they ran into Elizabeth, who thanked them for allowing their father to help the CRM, praised Iris for seriousness, and praised Hope’s Distillery

‘I don’t need to listen to this shit,’ Hope spat as she told her sister, ‘She’s part of the reason we’ll never see Daddy again And deep inside you know that’

During a visit to her psychologist, Dr K (Beth Leavel), Iris confessed that she had dreams where she «  stumbled dead,  » and her doctor urged her to talk to Hope of their loss

Dreams of Death: During a visit to her psychologist, Dr K (Beth Leavel), Iris confessed that she had dreams that she was «  stumbling dead  », and her doctor had her urged to tell Hope about their loss

Iris remembered The Night the Sky Fell and how she got so scared of zombies that she broke free from her mother in the crowd and never saw her again

Dr K feared that a traumatized Iris would be so focused on the future and helping others that she would neglect herself She urged her to remember how precious time was

« This is your life », Dr K said ‘Only you can figure out how to make sense of it’

In the school gym, Hope was also thinking about her mother and the way they had walked through the wreckage of the downed plane, with its pile of zombies and corpses.

She had learned from Huck how to fight the dead and yearned to see the outside world

As she walked to her father’s office, she found Iris in front of the fax machine, reading a message from her saying, « My safety is not assured! »

Classmates Elton Ortiz (Nicholas Cantu) and Silas Plaskett (Hal Cumpston) also spotted the fax and vowed not to say it

Hope became frustrated with Iris’ allegiance to the CRM and told her that she had seen five CRM helicopters flying around the day before – not one, as Elizabeth had suggested

Offering support: Classmates Elton Ortiz (Nicholas Cantu) and Silas Plaskett (Hal Cumpston) also spotted the fax and vowed not to say it

After consulting Felix, they reluctantly decided that it was best not to help their father

Outside Hope shouted at Iris, « How can you not see this? They are bad people, Iris, and they have our father! « 

Elizabeth came out of the darkness « Are you talking about us? » The Civic Republic? One of your Alliance partners? Come on, tell me how bad are we, exactly? « 

Appearance surprised: Elizabeth came out of the darkness « Are you talking about us? » The Civic Republic? One of your Alliance partners? Come on, tell me how bad are we, exactly? « 

Iris faced him ‘You won’t let anyone in or out You won’t let people communicate with your people Or vice versa You don’t tell anyone where you are, and you have our father’

Elizabeth told the girls that she had a daughter who was a CRM soldier, and although she was often afraid for her, she felt emboldened by the courage she was showing

She let them know that their father was teaching at the CR Research Center in New York and facing jail time by handing them a coded card with its own stamp and watermark

The sisters retreated to their father’s office for brandy, passing out and waking up with another message

‘Everything went wrong, he said’ Keep your head down I’ll find help Don’t tell the Council Don’t tell Felix I love you girls’

She turned to the CRM manager ‘The truth is I don’t trust you I don’t know who you are I don’t know what you do’

The truth: ‘The truth is I don’t trust you I don’t know who you are I don’t know what you are doing,’ Iris said during her speech

« Science is about finding the truth, not just deciding it, » Iris noted, acknowledging that it was hard to wait ‘But someone once told me that I was brave So I will continue working now to find it ‘

Hope knew that on the night in question her mother had attempted to requisition a truck to find her husband and daughter, but a pregnant woman who wanted the vehicle had a gun on them

When Hope rushed her she unloaded the gun, killing Hope’s mother Hope picked it up and pointed it at the woman, just an explosion went off and she fell dead
