Gainey is already disgusted with their behavior, on the drive back to Yellowstone from the airport, Flowers reveals that his once successful camp was shut down by the childrens parents and their lawyers but the camp wasnt necessary anymore because he intended for the Deedles to undergo survival training. Flowers becomes distracted in describing his plan and fails to pay attention to the road, eventually driving over the edge of a hillside and crashing into a river. Thinking he had killed the Deedles, he runs off thinking hell hide from the authorities.The Deedles awaken from their crash and find some womens clothing that had caught onto Flowers truck before it crashed, since it was their only option for dry clothes they opted to wear them.
