Episode 8 scene by scene

00:00: Cockpit Mayday Call
The First Officer regains consciousness and directs Chloe to treat the captain before him. Mia puts on the pilot headset. She sends an official Mayday distress transmission directly to regional air traffic control from the cockpit seat.
00:14: Radar Conflict Detected
A Female Air Traffic Controller answers the call and hears Mia's voice. Supervisor Michael checks the radar screens. He discovers that Flight SC6654 has drifted off its designated flight path and shares an altitude conflict with cargo flight FA781.
00:40: Ethan Demands Control
Ethan hurries up to the cockpit door in the aisle. He argues that his aviation college training qualifies him to take the controls instead of a child. Surrounding passengers, including a woman in leopard print, loudly support Ethan's claim.
00:59: Total Radio Blackout
Regional control loses all radio communication with Flight SC6654. The controllers urgently call cargo flight FA781 on the frequency. Radar displays confirm both planes are rapidly closing in on the exact same air space without ground guidance.
01:14: TCAS Warning Alert
The First Officer tells Mia to disregard the shouting passengers in the cabin. He instructs her to concentrate entirely on steering. Right then, a TCAS Resolution Advisory alert illuminates on the flight screen, signalling an impending mid-air crash.
