### The Expedition

Joan is first seen investigating the crater with the rest of her team. Later in the evening, Mike and Joan converse, with Joan revealing she is getting married to someone else, upsetting Mike. That same night Pepitone is killed mysteriously. While the river team and helicopter team are out, Joan stays behind with Rufus and Rashid.

When Donna is killed in the helicopter crash minutes later, Joan is there to comfort Samantha.

Back at camp, Joan is watching over Luke, as his hand gets worse. She diagnoses him with compartment syndrome and informs Mike and Tyreek that they have to amputate his hand.

Doug and Rufus return to camp that night, explaining their discovery of The Omega and the death of the Night Slasher. Joan stays back with Rashid and Samantha while the rest go to investigate the sinkhole. When they return, The Omega attacks the campsite, prompting Joan, Mike, and Tyreek to hide behind a tree. Joan devises a plan to distract The Omega to get Mike over to Rufus, in which she takes Tyreek to the other side of the campsite. Joan gives him a Molotov cocktail, but unbeknownst to Tyreek, Joan does not follow him out and suddenly cannot be found, leaving her fate unknown.
