Sean, Reed, Tim, and the rest of the team must deal with the death of their team member, Matt Hughes. While they are grieving they must pick up the pieces, and finish the rest of the storm chasing season without Matt. Then, Sean fears for the future of his film after a chaser uploads a video showing TIV2 recklessly passing a string of slow-moving cars during a tornado, which could jeopardize funding from the VORTEX2 program. Reed grows restless as he misses a chase while the Dominator is fitted with probe cannons, and the TWISTEX team has a successful probe intercept.
