Teresa implores Thomas to get her out of the Slammer but, instead, he runs to the Map Room to see if anything has survived the fire, even though he feels awful about having to leave her. When he arrives at the scene, he finds a group of boys huddled around a body on the ground, with Newt crouching down beside it. Minho is visibly upset, and when Thomas looks closer he sees that it is Alby; Newt is cleaning blood off his face. Minho says that he initially thought Alby set the fire, but now it seems that whoever did start the fire must have beaten Alby up, as he has a huge gash on his face. He says the incident with the Maps does not really matter, which confuses and angers Thomas, who feels that Minho is withholding something. Thomas tells Minho that he and Teresa might have figured something out in relation to the Maps, and receives a strange look from him. Minho calls Newt over, and the three boys head to the Slammer.
At the Slammer, Thomas pleads for Newt and Minho to release Teresa, promising he will tell them what he and Teresa have deduced in return.
