The UFO is still a riddle to Owen Crawford. Experiment: try putting tele-whatever people inside it. And do it so Anne and the 2 sons, Sam and Eric, will get their Christmas day ruined... The son of Sally and "John", Jacob, has alien-like powers. Sally is a UFO believer, while Tom is a debunker.
Russell Keys on the move, trying to keep the aliens away from his son. But then he and Jesse are taken together. Russell then finds Jesse in the real world. Jesse is taken again, for days, while it's over for his father.
The experiment fails for Owen. To make it work, he goes looking for Jacob. Finds him. Leaves with him. But only because/while Jacob allows it. Even so, Jacob is sent away by Sally, for his protection. She gives him her ear ring.
