They go to see where the object landed and see a big crater in place. Later on they are confronted by military men and after they leave, Alan reveals he got a piece of it. She goes back to her house and sees a [[The Man|man]] sitting in her room. She draws a gun and threatens him. He tells her to look at the computer screen and she sees a boy who is her son.

She and Rose are then seen heading for the hospital chapel and meet up with the rest of the Messengers. Rose tells them about their destiny and Vera says she doesn't believe in it, and when people show up, the other Messengers leave. Vera gets a call from Alan who says their offices are locked and they are fired. She asks him if he has the rock and what they should do with it now. She almost runs into Joshua in the parking lot and he reveals to her that in his vision he saw her son. He tells her that God has every right to be angry, but she tells him he's crazy and she asks where they're going, and they arrive at a house with the address number of 333. Joshua tells her that he this man, Ben, in his vision and that he saw Michael as well. She gets a call from Alan and he tells her the crater is gone and when she and Joshua spot Ben walking, they try to get his attention, but he walks in front of a bus and he dies. Afterwards, Vera and Joshua are at a bar talking and she says she didn't get a gift and that there's no such thing as destiny. They notice that the other Messengers have shown up and Rose says it's not accident that they have meet up again. After Vera says that she believes what she sees, Rose tells her to look harder and in the mirror.
