About this episode

The episode follows the stranded crew of the Miken as they struggle to survive on a desert island while searching for fuel.

We return to the stranded crew of the Miken. After locating the elusive island, Gordon and the others must turn their focus to the reason they’re here in the first place: finding the barrels of fuel. But as days in the jungle pass without success, a terrible possibility starts to dawn… maybe there is no fuel here at all.
