Myah makes herself known to Becky and Russell, a clumsy classmate whose suspicion is quickly supplanted by infatuation with the stranger. When the news is conveyed to Noah he realises he must take her back to Haven immediately. But how to escape the detention centre in order to do it? Russell reluctantly agrees to help by taking Noah's place in the cell. Bamboozling the Holocops, Becky smuggles Russell in and Noah out.

Meanwhile in Haven, Lyal pays a visit to the Nomads' compound. His bullying and arrogance infuriate Sundance and he gladly accepts when Lyal challenges him to a race. Sundance is further angered when Lyal wins by cheating and with help from his brothers who secretly use their telepathic powers against him.

It's memorial day in North Col. Syndia, the most officious member of the ruling Triumvirate, is giving her address. With everyone distracted Noah and Myah make it up to the holodeck. Myah shows an over zealous interest in the workings of the Holodeck as Noah successfully white-lights them out.

By now Russell has been discovered. A furious Syndia strides into the detention centre and sees Noah is gone. Noah is now in deeper trouble then ever.

Back in Haven, he and Nomads view Myah and her brothers with increasing suspicion.

Syndia, still fuming, pronounces banishment for Noah when he returns.

In Haven, Noah is awaiting the next lightning strike. Myah pleads with him not to leave, making vague promises of power and success. She is left behind angry and frustrated, as Noah white-lights out once again.

Noah arrives home secretly and employs Becky's radical plan to avoid banishment: he uses the PH-Ts to travel 24 hours back in time to the detention cell. In the re-run yesterday, Syndia storms in and finds Noah safely locked away, rather then discovering Russell. Back in today, Becky is delighted with the success of their plan, but Noah is shaken by its implications. He swears never to use time travel technology to change history again.

Meanwhile in Haven, Geneva falls into an animal trap — who would make such a thing in Haven? Chip runs off to alert the others but doesn't see a herd of wild brumbies approaching. While Lyal and Rorden muster the animals towards the trap, Tod, the youngest of the family, discovers Geneva and places himself between the trap and the stampeding animals. He manages to divert them and pulls Geneva to safety. When they spot the Nomads approaching, Rorden and Lyal flee.

Tod is brought back to the compound as a prisoner. As a hunter of animals he is an enemy to the Nomads. But his charms are not lost on his warden, Geneva. She is convinced Tod has learned his lesson and successfully argues for his release.

At their campsite, Myah rips into her brothers for getting on the wrong side of the Nomads. They need them… but for what?
