Aquellos que no recibieron visiones del porvenir tratan de descubrir cuál es la causa . Otros buscan ya (o tratan de evitar conocer) a sus futuros amantes, o investigan su propio asesinato... A medida que las verdaderas consecuencias de lo sucedido comienzan a hacerse claras, todos quieren un destello del futuro, una oportunidad para saltar y ser testigo de su éxito... O para aprender a evitar sus errores.
