Why was she the only one who couldn’t find her children?

Again, Helena Peabody felt like crying, and this time she let herself.

Carmen Morales

It was Eva. Eva fucking Torres. Her prom night. Why was she here? What were the chances that they had both gotten on that godforsaken plane after going so long without running into one another?

What a shitty way to be reunited with somebody.

"You’re the only person I know that can call me that," Eva told her, and Carmen thought that she saw the other woman wink. "Lookin’ good, Carm."

Always the charmer, Eva, Carmen thought tiredly, smiling to herself.

Idly, she wondered what would happen if she let the weakness in her muscles take over; what would happen if she just stopped and let herself drift down into the water.

"We’ll just take it nice and slow, okay?" said the other girl, and in the fogginess of her exhausted mind, Carmen thought that Eva was speaking to her.

Forgetting entirely about the woman they had both come out to save, Carmen did her part to keep herself above water, but nothing else.

Paige Sobel

"Don’t worry about that. I’m here now, okay?" Paige smiled down at her son. They were lucky enough to be alive, but even luckier to have very few injuries. Nothing a little time and a lot of rest wouldn’t cure.

There were plenty of people on that plane that weren’t doing quite so well. One of them was sprawled out on the sand in front of them. Paige looked to the little boy holding the injured woman’s hand. Having Jared next to her seemed to make Paige stronger and now that she’d found the one person she was looking for, it was time to help someone else.

Paige told Jared to stay next to her and she moved to block the sun from the woman’s eyes. She made rather informal introductions, got a little information from both boys about what had been happening, and took over from there. Paige ripped the semi-dry sleeve off of her t-shirt and tore it in half. One piece of cloth she pressed to the woman’s forehead and the other to her cheek. She tried keeping the mood light by cracking a small joke. "The way you look, I’d hate to see the other guy."
