The episode starts in Pleasant Valley Farmstead with a cutscene. When Molly leaves the house, Astrid is free to explore. There are three clues the player must find: a broken rifle in the den, a photograph on a desk in the office, and a piece of torn orange cloth in the upstairs bathroom. Once all three are found, the phone on the first floor will ring. When Astrid picks it up, Molly informs her that she is at the barn and needs her help. The key to open the basement is located under the vase in the den. Inside the basement, the player must open the gun cabinet and take out the revolver, revolver ammunition, and rifle ammunition. There is a second exit in the basement that leads directly outside through a bulkhead door. Outside and to the right, there is a line of blizzard stake lines leading to the Barn (Molly's), fallow them. A group of wolves will be circling the barn and need to be shot at to make them flee (or just run to the door). Enter the barn and receive the telephone call from Molly.
Leave the barn and head up the road past Heartbreak Bridge. Keep going past Contemplation Bridge to Thomson's Crossing. Enter the Community Hall and talk to Father Thomas to advance to Chapter 2: Fallen Star.
Trivia
- Mathis is voiced by Gord Marriott in story recap intro, despite the cutscene being from the reworked Redux Episode 2 and Elias Toufexis having voiced him in that version.
- Father Thomas reveals that the plane in the mountains crashed yesterday and made a deafening crash in the night, but he also says the First Flare occurred 3 or 4 days ago. How this plane managed to stay in the air for so long is unknown.
- If the player attempts to sequence break, multiple blocks are in place to impede the player:
- If the player disobeys the objective to reach Molly's Barn and decides to explore the world when first leaving the farmhouse, the blizzard suddenly gets twice as cold (the temperature drops from -25 to -45) and the player's Warmth will rapidly drop the farther they get away from the barn. The Condition bar will also drain twice as fast than freezing would normally allow. This will kill the player in under a minute before they can reach any other warm structure in the region, even on Green Survivor difficulty.
- If the player enters the Crash Site early via the path near Draft Dodger's Cabin, the tree bridge will be missing. If they go around the mountain to the plane, the option to open the door does not appear.
- If the player attempts to ender Cinder Hills Coal Mine, a fallen tree and invisible barrier block the path.
- The player cannot Pass Time during this mission until heading to Thomson's Crossing.
