Cole was escorted back to the detention center by a guard, with Garvey by his side. Cole's father never visited Cole in the hospital, and he was charged with child abuse. Cole was sent back to the sentencing so the others could decide his fate. Though, Cole believed he would be put in jail, he was okay with that. Soon, he had gotten a surprise from Edwin and Garvey. They had told him they now had custody over him once convincing the Circle. Garvey and Edwin helped Cole back to the island. As told before, Cole had to use his own money and objects for the islands supplies. Cole had the chance to escape the island, however he decided it be best not to. It was a good idea too, because Edwin had been holding the spark plug in his jacket.
Edwin and Garvey stuck with Cole for a few days, until he started and finished his shelter. They gave him tips and forced him to do certain things such as cook him breakfast, supper. At night, they would dance. They danced the whale dance, the wolf dance, and on Garvey and Edwin's last night, Cole danced the Spirit bear dance. Every morning, Edwin would go with Cole to relax in the cold water. Edwin told Cole this would help him forget his anger. Cole wasn't allowed to leave the water until then. After Cole swam, Edwin told him to carry a rock up a hill. Cole was told that this represents him carrying his ancestors. When he was done pushing the rock up the hill, he was told to roll it back down. This rolled away his anger.
Cole had to continue doing this even after Edwin and Garvey left.
