As Sadie is being lifted to safety, her jacket gets stuck on a metal rod, and Ripley rushes to free her. The well collapses, trapping him beneath the rubble. At Med, Sharon Goodwin informs the doctors about Ripley’s situation, stating that CFD is attempting to reestablish contact. Mouch eventually reaches him, and Ripley reports he is buried up to his chest but has an air pocket. However, he begins fading, expressing to Dr. Charles that he believes he deserves this fate for letting people down.
During a supposed hallucination, Ripley sees his late best friend, Sully, who urges him to fight for his life. As the CFD reaches him, Mouch calls out, bringing him back to consciousness. The team pulls him to the surface, but Ripley loses consciousness again and requires immediate resuscitation. Asher arrives, confesses her love, and in the final moment, Ripley gasps for air, indicating he has survived.
