After he got out of the hospital, Ethan met a bartender named Beverly (Juliette Lewis) who gave him an address.
There he found the rotting corpse of the missing Agent and immediately reported it to a local sheriff. Ethan then went back to the bar to look for Beverly and got confused when patrons told him there's no one that they knew of that name.
After an escalated incident, he soon find himself again at the Wayward Pines Hospital and was given with a sedative. Just as he was about to be wheeled down, Beverly came to rescue Ethan out of the establishment.
Ethan later on found the other lost agent, Kate Hewson (Carla Gugino) who happens to be his former lover.
Things got more confusing when Kate spoke about the life she'd live in town, which totally contradicts to what is real.
The episode culminates with Ethan stealing a car in order to escape the town, only to pass through it several times. He decided to walk on foot and saw a sign that reads: "Return to Wayward Pines. Beyond this Point You Will Die." Sheriff Pope (Terrence Howard) showed up and escorted him back to town.
According to spoiler reports, the next episode titled "Do Not Discuss Your Life Before" will see Ethan and Beverly bonding and carrying out their plans together to escape Wayward Pines.
Hodge teased (via Latin Post) about something "shocking and huge" that will happen in episode 2.
"Wayward Pines" Season 1 airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on FOX.
