Wayward Pines - Episode Guide

After surviving a terrible car crash, Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke finds himself in the charming, bucolic town of Wayward Pines but soon discovers that something isn't quite right.

Ethan struggles to understand why Sheriff Pope does not want him to leave Wayward Pines. Frustrated by the lack of information and answers as to Ethan's whereabouts, Theresa decides she will go in search of him herself.

Following Beverly's "reckoning" in the town square, Ethan is shocked by Kate's participation in the heinous act. Although determined to find his way out of Wayward Pines, Peter meets real estate agent Peter McCall, who gives him a new house. Meanwhile, Theresa and Ben head to Idaho to find Ethan, who has another run-in with Sheriff Pope.

After the Burkes' run-in with Sheriff Pope, they head back into town to discover that Ethan has been named in a new leadership role in Wayward Pines. With his new role, Nurse Pam tells Ethan he must call a reckoning for Peter McCall, a "traitor" who painted graffiti on Main Street. Meanwhile, Ben goes to his first day of school at Wayward Pines Academy, where he gets private tutoring from teacher Megan Fisher and Theresa is offered a job as a realtor.

Ethan ventures outside of Wayward Pines and is shocked by what he discovers. Meanwhile, Theresa reports to her new realty job and meets her first client who is as confused as Theresa about the eerie town and Ben goes through orientation and learns the truth about Wayward Pines from his teacher Megan Fisher.

Ethan gets a tour of the facility and personnel that manage the day-to-day operations of Wayward Pines and learns more about the history and how the residents ended up in the eerie town. Meanwhile, at the realty office, Theresa finds a map of an unusual plot of land she wants to investigate and Kate and Harold are planning a covert operation.

After discovering the truth behind Wayward Pines, Ethan finds a bomb planted in his car, which makes him question people whom he thought he could trust. Meanwhile, Kate and Harold have a fertility consult meeting with Nurse Pam and Ben and Amy's (guest star Sarah Jeffery) relationship heats up.

After an explosion on Main Street leaves two key residents of Wayward Pines in critical condition, Ethan is determined to find out who is responsible for the horrific act. Meanwhile, Harold opts out of the covert operation he and Kate were planning, and Nurse Pam interviews surveillance engineers to find out if there are any workers responsible for falsely reporting activities of any Wayward Pines residents.

After Harold attempts to break past the fence surrounding Wayward Pines, Ethan interrogates him about other insurgents who have gone off the grid. Meanwhile, Amy's (guest star Sarah Jeffery) health takes a turn for the worse, Nurse Pam encourages Theresa to investigate Plot 33, Ben's teacher, Megan Fisher (guest star Hope Davis), advises Ben to speak publicly about the current events effecting Wayward Pines and Ethan reveals the truth about the town to the residents.

Meanwhile, Nurse Pam confronts Pilcher on his decision and tries to convince him to reconsider, Ethan and Kate plan for an attack and the first generation tries to protect the future of Wayward Pines by taking matters into their own hands.

Dr. Theo Yedlin wakes up after a night of drinking and finds himself in the town of Wayward Pines. Gunfire echoes in the sheet and the town's leader, Jason Higgins, tells Theo that the town is a secret government project to explore wartime trauma on civilians. But Theo soon realizes that something far more sinister is going on.

The Abbies develop a new tactic to try and get through the fence, and Jason is forced to send harvesters out to gather vital crops from a field beyond the barrier. Meanwhile, Theo realizes that the powers that be can't do without him and begins to assert his authority.

In the past, Jason is raised to become the leader of Wayward Pines if anything happens to David Pilcher. In the present, Jason is surprised when one of his mentors asks for his forgiveness, and to rejoin the community.

One of the original townspeople returns from a scouting mission, and helps Theresa look for a missing Ben. Meanwhile, Rebecca crosses swords with Megan over the latter's intention to have Lucy breed children.

Rebecca's past with Pilcher is revealed. In the present, Megan experiments with the first female Abby that they've captured, while Xander tells Rebecca to tell Theo the truth about the two of them.

Almost three dozen townspeople are killed trying to salvage the crops, and Theo warns Jason that they are critically low on medical supplies. Meanwhile, both Adam and Theresa are injured in the attack, and Rebecca continues to see Xander.

As the Abbies gather outside the fence, Theo desperately tries to establish communications with Margaret. In the past, CJ awakens every 20 years to check the hibernation facilities... and slowly comes to grips with the fact that the world that he knew is gone.

Jason and his soldiers launch a search for the escaped Margaret, and Wayward Pines begins to come apart at the seams from pressures both within and without.

Jason learns that only half of the sleep pods work, and he will have to choose who will continue on to maintain the future of Wayward Pines. In the past, Pilcher is forced to choose an alternative when the baby he selects to become the future leader of Wayward Pines dies unexpectedly.

As the Abbies prepare for their final assault, Theo and the townspeople of Wayward Pine face one final decision: how they will face the future.

During a meeting, rocket scientist Eric Barlow, slightly worried, finds time to call his wife, from who he hasn't heard back in a while. When his wife doesn't pick up, he leaves a message, telling her he is starting to freak out a little.

As he arrives to his house, Eric receives a call from Mark Thompson, who offers him participation in a project that would be suited for an engineer like him. However, Eric is looking for Sarah while he hears the phone call, and tells Mark that he is still not interested. When Eric discovers a tablet sitting on the dining table with a note that reads "watch me", he sits and plays a video on the tablet.

In the video, Sarah says to him that she has to leave him and that she's not coming back. She tells that it's not about him, and that it's nothing that she wants, but something she has to do. As she tells him that she loves him and that he is her sweetheart, she makes a movement on her chest. She then says that he has to let her go. A few seconds before the video ends, Sarah looks to the side, a gesture her husband notices. He plays the video over and over in hope of finding a clue.

Eric visits his wife's office, where he's greeted by Elena, who tells him that Sarah quit that morning. Eric informs her that Sarah is missing, and that she left him a strange message. Elena tells Eric that Sarah was working on a new story that had her excited and a little freaked out. When Eric turns on his tablet, he finds a new user under the name "mtn_prj", who is neither him nor his wife. When he taps the icon, a picture password appears and, although not initially knowing the password, Eric remembers the sign Sarah made in the video, which turns out to be the password to the picture. Inside, he finds Sarah's research, and Elena tells him that now he has it.

Still in Sarah's office, Eric and Elena watched a video of Sarah from two weeks ago, in which Sarah talks about a story that might be huge or a total buzz about a secret program called "Mountain Project". As he leaves the place, Eric asks Elena how she couldn't know about that, but Elena tells him that she didn't, and even if she had known, she wouldn't have encouraged Sarah to follow that story. When Eric declares that he's going to the cops, Elena dismisses the idea, claiming that the cops can't help him, since Sarah left on her own and she's not a missing person.

Eric, who has Sara's notes, calendars, and addresses of everywhere she's been to in the last two weeks, declares that he's going to find her wife. Elena then offers to help Eric, telling him that she will research all she can about the Mountain Project. He thanks her and goes inside his car. As the car leaves, Elena calls an unknown person and tells them that Eric is not giving up.

While knocking on a house door, an old lady informs Eric that the person who used to live there moved a week ago north due to a new work. Eric asks the lady if she actually saw Matt, the old resident, moving, but she tells him that he saw the movers. Eric confesses that that is the third house he visits with the same story about their owner.

Now in his car, Eric receives a called from Elena, and tells her that he's going to the next address. Eric arrives at a clinic, and he asks the receptionist if she saw his wife. The woman informs him that she had been there with a doctor, but before telling him anything else she asks for an ID. When she checks the ID, the receptionist gives Eric a package that Sarah left for him. After seeing an ultrasound, Eric asks what that does mean, and the receptionist congratulates him. He goes and sits in the waiting room contemplating to the images until Elena calls him. Eric reveals to her that Sarah is pregnant and Elena informs him that she had found Sarah's source, who can be found in Idaho.

Now in Idaho, Eric arrives at Stone Side Diner, where he is greeted by the bartender. When Eric asks for a person who calls himself "The Digger", the woman on the bar says that the name doesn't ring a bell, and that around there, it could be almost everybody. He then proceeds to ask her if she knew something about the Mountain Project, and when she questions why is he asking those things of her, he reveals that he's looking for his missing pregnant wife.

In a table at the diner with the tablet, Eric hears a conversation between Sarah and The Digger, who informs her that someone is building something at a mountain. Eric picks up a call from Elena, who tells him that she has an address, 6116 Domino's Place.

When Eric arrives there, he sees a man who is about to leave. He tries to talk to him, but the man pulls a gun at him, demanding Eric get away from him. However, Eric doesn't do that and reveals to the man that "they took [his] wife" and that he needs his help. When he hears that, the man lowers his gun.

Eric finds out more about "The Mountain Project" from the "The Digger".

Eric finds a mysterious envelope left in his car.  It contains a flash drive with a video of Sarah being held hostage.  Back at the diner. He searches online for where "The Mountain" might be.  Using satellite imagery he discovers its location.  As he drives that way, the road signpost  reads "Wayward Pines 11 (miles)". 
 

Eric arrives at "The Mountain Project" site's entrance with the sign on the locked gate reading "Pilcher Technologies".  He meets "The Caretaker" who brings him to Sarah and has an "offer" for him.

"The Caretaker" tells Eric more about the project and the shocking Truth about their intentions. 

Eric confronts "The Caretaker" and threatens to expose the truth to the world about the project, but is ultimately forced to choose between saving Sarah and their unborn child and exposing the truth.
