Complete story — includes the ending

Nicole, Kyle and Josh are en route to a psychology conference, but they get into an accident when Kyle (who was driving) becomes distracted and suddenly swerves to avoid hitting another car, which sends the Tragers' vehicle off the road before crashing into a ravine. The trio are consequently stranded in the woods with no means of communication, while Nicole is trapped inside. To make matters worse, the other driver is a pregnant woman named Gretchen, who then goes into labor. Kyle comes back every five minutes to seek Nicole's advice on how to deliver Gretchen's baby (a boy), which he delivers with Josh's help. Kyle communicates telepathically with Jessi, enabling assistance to be sent. However, Nicole is hospitalized with extensive internal bleeding. Kyle impersonates a doctor and uses his powers to try to make Nicole better, but it doesn't work and so he grudgingly turns to Cassidy, who tells him that Latnok will provide a remedy for Nicole only if Kyle joins them, and Kyle agrees. Meanwhile, Lori and Jessi are having trouble with each other and Josh's multiple phone calls to Andy go unanswered, but she shows up at the hospital after he leaves her a pained voicemail. Kyle returns from Nicole's room, announcing that she will be fine. Lori apologizes to Jessi for her rudeness.
