Heavily pregnant, she makes her way inland and begins to drink from a stream. As she drinks she is startled to see Mother standing nearby. Mother greets her and takes her back to her camp. While there, Claudia asks questions about where they are but Mother is evasive. Claudia soon goes into labor delivering a boy whom she names Jacob. Then another boy is born. When Claudia asks to see the second boy, Mother kills her with a rock.
