Stiles realizes that the keys to his Jeep are in his hand. He speaks to Doctor Sandra Hugo (the doctor Lydia saw in class back in Superposition). He says, "Where are we?" She says they're at train station 137 but doesn’t seem to remember how long she’s been there or much anything else including why she's still wearing her scrubs from work. A businessman (Barry Livingston) sitting next to her reading a paper says they've been there for at least six hours. Stiles gets up and walks to the ticket booth.
The sign says "Back in 5 Minutes" but the dust on the counter is thick. Stiles turns to ask if anyone works at the station when a voice comes over the intercom. "The following stops have been canceled: Hollatine, Baddon, Bay Burry, Deer Ridge, Red Oak, Trenton, Anderson, King Springs." All the people get up from their seats and head for the tunnel marked "To Trains." Stiles follows asking them if they know which train is coming. Wind sweeps through the tunnel bringing with it rustling leaves and the sound of the Ghost Riders on horseback.
The people in the waiting area panic and flee, taking refuge behind the rows of pews as the Riders enter and dump a tied man onto the floor. The man's bonds disappear in a puff of green smoke. The riders tear through the station knocking people down as they ride. Someone grabs Stiles and thrusts him behind a column. The riders return through the tunnel and everyone in the station, save Stiles, immediately returns to their seats and their formerly docile disposition. Stiles questions Peter who explains that he's there to catch a train. When pushed on how he got there, he says he probably took a cab. He appears to have forgotten about the Ghost Riders already. Peter asks Stiles to move because he's "blocking the board." Stiles seems to the only person to remember as the others are as docile as before including the guy the riders just dumped. The board is a list of arrivals and departures. With each listed as "arrived" except Beacon Hills which is listed as "on time." The towns of Beacon Hills, Bodie, Boneville, Pripyat, Bannack, Skido, Canaan, Garnet, Harappa, and Red Bird are listed under the heading Arrivals. The Departures board shows all towns are "delayed." They include Springville, Batten, Red Oak, Trenton, Anderson, King Springs, Cannon Creek, Hollatine, Bay Burry, and Deer Ridge. Stiles reminds Peter that the last time anyone saw him, he was being locked away in Eichen House and the memories start flooding back. Peter remembers screaming as he is locked in a cell with Dr. Peter remembers carving The Spiral pattern signifying revenge on the floor of his cell. The power went out and his door opened (See Amplification). He left his cell and beat down a guard that tried to stop him. At some later time, as he is getting into his car, he hears thunder and the Ghost Riders appear and shoot him. Stiles explains that the lockdown and power outage at Eichen House was three months prior. Peter is shocked and annoyed that nobody missed him in all that time. Stiles explains how the Ghost Riders erase memories.
