The English-speaking jungle man brings the exhausted survivors back to his home, the village of the Chosen.

While Karen and Pia distract the guards, Alex, Andrew and Jimmy try to escape climbing the cliffs that surround the Chosen village. In the Fierce Ones village, one of the warriors tries to kill Will, but Korakal stops him and tells the boy that three of his friends must die as payback for the three warriors killed. Just as the guards discover the escape, Jimmy falls from the cliff, landing on a cabin's roof. Balaam goes with the guards after the other two, but first he warns Falconer John that if they are not caught, the women will take their place. Chased by the guards, Alex and Andrew split. Andrew meets a mysterious woman who wanishes without uttering a single word. Then he is found by Falconer John and agrees to go back with him, so neither Karen or Pia will have to take his place. Alex is captured by Balaam and swears that he'll find some way to escape, even if he has to kill him.

The elders find Jimmy guilty in the death of a local fisherman, and throw him and his companions into a deadly pit.

The elders check some of the words in the wall that speak about ""The Boy of the Promise"". Cole thinks that Will may be that boy and that they should claim him. Balaam and Malakai do not think so, but they agree to send John to find out if Will is fine. When Cole calls Andrew to tell him about this, Andrew starts to feel sick and soon later he passes out. The village doctor wants to help, but Karen and Pia do not trust him and they send him away. The doctor, however, comes back with more people and they take Andrew out of the village, fearing that he may have some contagious disease. Karen brings Prudence, who gives Andrew some medicine and then asks Karen to leave them alone. Korakal tells Will that Jakuki and him must perform a ritual in order to die as children and become men. He send them out with the Shaman. Later, John is captured by the Shaman and others. Cole and the doctor come back for Andrew, who seems to die in front of them.

When all the villagers mysteriously disappear overnight, Karen and Talbott find them awaiting a sign from their deity about the Promised One.

As the Chosen Warriors return with Will, the Elders need to cope with a death in their ranks.

As disease attacks the Spider people, Falconer John reluctantly leads Dr. Kennedy to their aid.

As the villagers have a communal wedding ceremony, Hekka plans an escape with the survivors.

After the survivors' escape, Elder Cole has a fit and collapses into a coma.

They are all captured and there is a Caucasian photographer with Morag. All of them have to work except for Karen. Morag tells them that there are going to be guests coming for dinner. Will learns how to hunt from Falconer John so that he would be able to escape from the Chosen. Elder Kohl rejects Pia. The guys escape from the Cannibals but are caught and the arrival of the Savage ones save them from Morag's wrath. Morag wants Karen to be her son's wife. Her husband was the chief of the Cannibals. Morag pits Andrew against Jimmy and Karen against Alex for entertainment. The Savage ones save them by killing off all the Cannibals, but they leave Morag alive and she vows to avenge her dead sons.
