The crew is on their way to Caracas, Venezuela when Henry Belson, an elderly passenger, has a heart attack, forcing an emergency landing in hurricane-ravaged Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After the perilous landing, two armed rebels confront the crew, and Colette negotiates with them for use of their jeep. She and Ted reach a clinic in a nearby village with the help of a Haitian orphan girl, as Kate nurses and makes warm conversation with Henry on the plane. The doctor at the clinic reluctantly gives Colette and Ted a nitroglycerine tablet, and Colette promises the orphan that they will bring her along, much to Ted's chagrin. By the time they return, however, Henry has passed away. Meanwhile, Dean determines that the runway is too short for a safe takeoff. He opts to divert to Miami, but needs to reduce the plane's weight to take off. He convinces the restless passengers to dump their luggage and idles on the runway to burn fuel, but the passengers are unsure about letting the orphan on the flight. Kate arrives at a novel solution: as Henry had told her he always wanted to help people, she decides to leave his body behind. The plane successfully takes off before more rebels arrive on the scene. In Miami, Kate uses her CIA contacts to ensure the orphan girl is allowed into the U.S. When Colette is about to be reprimanded for allowing a stowaway on board, each of the other stewardesses claims to have been the one to do so, thus evading punishment for the whole group. Dean gets a stern lecture from his superior, but a kiss from Colette afterward.
