 At the evening of day 15, Taylor forgets to charge the batteries for the flashlights and then she proceeds to light a dozen or so candles by the firepot, using the last of the lighter fuel. A sudden rainstorm erupts and puts out all the candles and the fire. The castaways decide they need a bigger shelter with a solid roof to keep dry and warm, and that would be the downed plane. A discussion ensues about whether they could or should attempt to move the heavy plane up the beach nearer to the fire pit by rolling it on logs and pulling it with ropes. They take a vote and end up with a split decision. The tie is unexpectedly broken by Taylor who votes to move the plane to higher ground even though it means a lot more work. As they are finding logs to roll the plane on, Jackson and Taylor have a few minutes of unexpected interaction away from the group. Taylor has damaged the battery charger and tells Jackson she has really messed up. Jackson tells her not to worry and just be yourself. Taylor questions Jackson saying "It s easy criticize just being yourself when nobody really knows who you are." and he responds by producing the guitar, playing and singing a verse of a song he wrote, allowing her to see a little about who he is. The crew ultimately gets the plane up on the logs and tie ropes to the front in preparation for moving it to higher ground and converting it into a safer shelter. Daley gives a short motivating and thank you speech and Eric, not one to be outdone verbally, says a few words of his own. The crew of castaways pulls and strains to move the heavy plane wreckage up the hill and they succeed in moving it several feet, proving to themselves they can work together and accomplish something good. Deciding that "It s a start," they head back to the fire pit for the night. Since they no longer have a lighter or batteries for the flashlights, Taylor produces a charged flashlight. Lex says you fixed the charger. Day 16 ends with Jackson working hard at starting a fire with the usual stick and bow, as Taylor says, "Maybe you need a little less muscle and a little more touch, like playing an instrument." Taylor takes over and with the fine touch of a cellist, the flame begins.
