The adventures and miseries on the island continue as Elijah and Elena remain intent on obeying the automaton, but others stand in opposition. Through their interactions with Charlie - who has lived alone on the island for years - Maya, Elijah, and Elena learn more about their prison, particularly regarding the presence of a woman living in the marshes with a horde of monkeys at her command. As they attempt to seek out this mysterious woman, a newcomer is caught in one of Charlie's traps - he remembers neither his name nor his origins. Having recovered from the shock, they all choose to venture out to find the 'Monkey Woman,' hoping she might provide answers to the questions plaguing them. Driven by her own curiosity, Maya decides to join them - thereby disobeying the automaton's final order, which had instructed her to proceed to the lighthouse... or else.
