Ep 3. What Remains

In Terra Nova season 1 episode 3, titled "What Remains," the Shannon family and the rest of the colonists in Terra Nova are suffering from an unknown virus that is spreading rapidly. The virus is causing people to fall ill, and while some are able to recover quickly with antibiotics, others are not so lucky and are dying from it.

Dr. Elisabeth Shannon is working tirelessly to try and find a cure for the virus, but she is running out of time. When two young girls become infected and are on the brink of death, the situation becomes more urgent than ever. Elisabeth uses her knowledge of modern medicine to try and find a cure by analyzing the symptoms of the infected people.

Outside of the medical crisis, Jim Shannon is still trying to make his way back into the good graces of the Terra Nova community. He has been tasked with leading a group of colonists on a hunting trip to find food for the colony. However, things don't go exactly as planned when one of the colonists in the group goes rogue and starts endangering everyone else. Jim must step up and find a way to diffuse the situation before it becomes deadly.

Meanwhile, in a twist that nobody saw coming, a group of "Sixers" – a renegade group of colonists who have broken away from Terra Nova – arrive at the colony with a surprising proposition. They claim to have a cure for the virus that is plaguing the colony, but it comes at a steep price. The Sixers want the colonists to turn over a valuable mineral resource that Terra Nova is guarding in exchange for the cure.

As the colonists struggle to decide what to do, things take a turn for the worse when the infected girls start to deteriorate rapidly. Dr. Shannon and her team are running out of options and time. With the Sixers holding the only potential cure in the balance, the colony must decide whether to take the risk and give up their much-needed resource or to sacrifice the lives of their own people in order to protect their assets.

Overall, "What Remains" serves as a thrilling and emotional episode that forces the colonists to make difficult decisions as they struggle to balance survival with morals and values. The medical crisis adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the plot, while the introduction of the Sixers adds a layer of complexity to the show's overarching narrative. The episode also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the Shannon family - Jim's bravery and leadership skills, Elisabeth's medical expertise, and their kids' determination to help out in any way they can. Ultimately, "What Remains" is a gripping and thought-provoking addition to the first season of Terra Nova.
