In the Jupiter, the Robot evaporates the water with the heating elements in its hands. It walks to where John is repairing the circuits and stares at him. John wonders what it is, but it just looks at him.
Smith buries Tam and suggests that they shoot another flare. Don tells her that they already wasted one and figures that there's no one out there. He uses binoculars and spots a parachute, tells Smith to put on Tam's boots, and when she refuses warns her that the diamond-like sand will tear through her soles.
