In Episode 6, at the conclusion of Part 1 of the novel, Severn and the kids—Tommy and Vi—awakened from their drugged sleep to find the storms had passed and that electrical devices, and cars, were working again. After driving to town and finding it reeking with the dead, they left for Severn’s father-in-law’s farm, a rural expanse with relatively few human inhabitants. In Part 2 of the novel, we pick up with Episode 7, after almost a full year has passed on the farm without another lurching.

When they attempted to leave the house briefly, they were attacked by a pack of vicious dogs—and one gentle one, named Sterling, who made it safely back into the house with them. At the end of the episode, they’ve taken more of Sarah’s pills in an effort to sleep through the storms, and they all three have fallen into a drugged sleep. That’s where we pick up Episode 6
