Jumps back to the Symphony. Kristien and some other discuss "survival is insufficient", and think that it is the best line ever written in a TV show. They walk the streets of old cities. They found a girl following them , Eleanor, 12 years old, was engaged to the prophet who already had 4 wives and had dreams of god. She reveals that Charlie and Jeremy left for the museum of civilization.

They find a house where they search for the stuff they always do

Back to 7 years before the flu. Jeevan interviews Arthur. Arthur does not recognize that Jeevan took the picture of Miranda, and takes a liking in Jeevan and tells him a story that he is supposed to tell 24 hours after the interview-- that he will divorce Elizabeth and they will raise the kid together. Arthur thinks that nothing bad has happened to Elizabeth, and wants Jeevan to push him into telling her this by publishing the story.
8 days after Arthur's death, Jeevan tries to recall what happened next during the interview in his brother's couch. Cells have stopped working at this time.

Arthur did keep the promise--which is one of the things he was proud of, and tells his brother how he tricked Miranda into the photo of her holding a cigaret.
The tv keeps broadcasting bad news, the highways are clogged with abandoned cars. They covered the windows so that no one knows that they were in there. Frank starts working on his final piece. Tv is gone, then internet, and water on day thirty. They fill everything they could with water before it stops. Jeevan daydreams that they will be able to leave once the situation gets better and red cross shows up while Franks believes that it never will.

On day forty, they see a fire, and start hearing gunshots outside. Death seems to leak into the room no matter how much duck tape they put on the door. After not hearing anything in the apartment building for a week, Jeevan decided to check outside. He wants to take his brother and leave but knows that it would be hard with his brother's wheelchair. Frank discusses the idea of war and survival, and gives the hint that he will commit suicide or something alike to not pull Jeevan back.

Back to year twenty. Kristen and August leave the house and discuss the magazines they found and the idea of parallel universes. The discussion of parallel universes seems to be an escape from the current events, where they imagine how it would be like if the apocalypse did not happen and how their life would be otherwise (how life would be overall). They also go over the excerpt in one of the magazines mentioning Miranda traveling to Toronto. Kristen recalls being in the building around the same time. The conversation turns to Dieter and Sayid as they were close to the city. They camp in the back of an abandoned house as August thinks that the scar of Finn's face was from the prophet and realizesthat it is a plane.

Jumps back to Miranda traveling to Toronto. Strong contrast between her current status--higher status much wealthier. She returned to see Arthur because his father passed and she knew where he was from. They met in the theatre as a restaurant would be too public, and the picture Kristen saw was taken. Miranda expresses her sadness for his loss and the topic turns to the publication of Dear V., which he wanted her to agree to. Miranda can't tell whether Arthur was acting and wonders if this line blurs for all actors. Topic turns back to their life as little Kristen enters.

Through Arthur and Kristen's interaction she sees how much Arthur misses his son who lived in Israel with his ex. Since Kristen was carrying a color book, the conversation turns to whether Miranda was still drawing. She was then reminded to give Arthur two of the first copies of Dr. Eleven. The conversation ends with Miranda telling him that she has to leave for Asia in four days. After leaving, she realizes that she forgot to give Arthur the paperweight and has it shipped to him.

Elizabeth is at a beach unaware of what is happening as Clark calls to inform her of Arthur's death.The Lawyer calls Clark arguing that Arthur may have wanted to wish what he had to Tanya on his last days--Clark is not interested. He calls Elizabeth to tell her about the news and that the funeral will be in Toronto. Which reminds him of a conversation over why Arthur liked Toronto--it was the only place where he was free. Clark boards a plane to Severn city airport, on which he met Elizabeth and her son. They were lucky and not infected by the disease.

Back to year 20, at the airport. Clark thinks over how lucky he was to survive. The airport has grown into a colony and he has lived here since day one. He owned the museum of civilization and taught youngsters how planes used to work and about technology. The airport is now filled by newborns from after the apocalypse.

Jump back to when they heard the news on the flight not understanding what was happening. The plane has landed at Severn city, which Clark has never heard of. The airline staff did not know what to do. Clark reads Arthur's obituary, wondering where his boyfriend was. A teenager asks Arthur for an antidepressant that he has ran out of. A girl is sick and needs medication

Runs through events
Day 2: people recognize Elizabet and Tyler and complain about phones running out.
Day 3: All the vending machines are out and the girl gets more sick. A group was send out to find supplies, not finding what the girl needed. A man breaks into a restaurant and leaves his credit card, it remains untouched 97 days. They still have hope that a plane passes by.
Day 5: break into giftshop
Day 7: TV channels going off, electricity stops (now comes from generator at airport).
Day 8: someone hunts a deer that they eat. The sick girl leaves, leaving behind all her stuff. Arthur's sun keeps reading the comic book, his mom prays.
Day 12: power goes off completely, so does water.

Clark shaves often in order to maintain sanity and Elizabeth believes that the apocalypse will only be temporary. Clark has started the museum of civilization (obviously loosing hope in order being restored).
Day 100: The scout group goes out and returns meeting no one, but a day later a stranger arrives.
15 years after the apocalypse: the population at the airport increased largely and Clark can now focus on the museum. People come over to reflect at night. Elizabeth and Tyler have left in year two, leaving their passports for the museum. Tyler came to the idea that the apocalypse happened for a reason which Elizabeth agreed to and they left with a religious group. Clark meets someone with the paper with Elizabeth's interview in the fall and is shocked reading about Arthur.

August and Kristen continue their journey after Kristen had a nightmare. Running into Sayid who is followed by three people lead by the prophet. They kill them to save Sayid as Sayid explains that they were following them for the girl Eleanor. They were taken, Dieter died and the other two lived.
The note that the clarinet left was the beginning of the play she wrote. She was taken and woke up seeing Sayid arguing with the prophet. Sayid mouthed her a plan to escape. The boy that was with the prophet feels that what they do is wrong but there was nothing he could do. Sayid distracted him so that the clarinet could escape and tell the symphony to leave.

The symphony had to leave without Kristen and August thus. Kristen's kills--1st year in symphony and two years after.
The prophet got to Kristen and the others and tries to kill them, quoting out of Station eleven as pointing a gun at Kristen, Kristen continues the sentence but the prophet says it's too late. The boy shot the prophet and they killed the rest while the boy killed himself. They find a page of station eleven in the prophet's bible and run into the symphony's scouts.

They arrive at the airport, meeting friends and discussing the events. Clark and Kristen recognize each other. Clark shows Kristen a town with electricity further away. Kristen and clark look at it, the others at the airport are enjoying time together; the symphony is on the way to arrive; jeevan and his family have food.

Jump back to Arthur's last day--decides that he will move to Israel to see his son every day. He gets to the old coffee where he used to meet Miranda and misses her. He later shows Station Eleven to Tanya which she recognizes, he also gives her the paperweight. The last things he remember is saying his last line wrong on stage and Jeevan standing up in the audience.

In station eleven, doctor eleven meets his mentor's ghost. Doctor eleven asks how death feels like and was answered it was like waking up from a dream. Miranda spent a lot of time writing this and flashes back before her death.
