Ten minutes out from Retha, Bergman calls Sandra from Eagle Three. After laying out a meal, she opens the hatch to observe their arrival—and is surprised to find the spear-man waiting outside. He darts inside and, after a struggle, Sandra is carried off by her savage assailant. During this, Carter regains consciousness and climbs out of the pit using the trunk left by the cavemen. He makes for the landing site as Eagle Three sets down. When Bergman and Kano enter Eagle Two, they find only their lunch waiting for them.
