There's an explosion in the lab. Seems minor at first, but then the column of gas ignites. Donovan (Sarah Craig's husband) is trapped on the other side.

rest
All the shops had changed. I was in the store than used to be Junkman's Daughter, which had apparently moved down the street. At some point in the dream I started running.
