Two agents arrive and Raul tells them he has the information they need. While he is talking to the agents he is hit by the energy pulse and dies. The agents assume he had a heart attack and go to leave, but Raul wakes up. When he wakes he can suddenly hear thoughts. He hears one of the agents think about killing him. After a fight, Raul is shot in the arm and both agents are dead. Raul leaves, stopping at a stash he has with new clothes. After changing he catches a lift to a gas station where he bandages his arm and calls his brother, leaving him a message. Raul goes into the gas station to steal some food and encounters Erin and Amy Calder. Amy watches Raul before looking to the television. There is a wanted bulletin for Raul. Raul sees the television and follows Erin and Amy outside, getting into their car and pulling out his gun. He tells Erin to take him to Houston so he can make sure his brother and niece are okay.

Raul sees that a bulletin is displayed on the television for his arrest and runs out of the store, climbing into the back of Erin's car and pulling out a gun. He tells Erin not to worry, that he won't hurt her or Amy, that he just needs a ride to Houston where his family is. In 1.02 Strange Magic they arrive in Houston, however, Raul has passed out from the bullet wound. Erin goes to drop him at a bus stop but Amy convinces her to take him to the hospital.
