About

 In August, August observes and then abducts Christine Hollis to prevent her from boarding a flight that he knows will end in a plane crash. He is confronted by other Observers and questioned as to why he interfered. Although he cannot explain it August feels that Hollis has a future and should not die in the crash. The Observers contact Donald Long and ask him to correct this mistake by eliminating Hollis. When abducting her, August leaves behing a notebook similar to one previously used by The Observer. However the notebook contains a message for Walter to meet with him. When Walter is asked by August for help in saving Hollis from the other Observers, he suggests making her important.
 August returns to the motel where he keeps Hollis and waits for Donald Long. When he arrives August confronts him and ends up being shot. But Olivia and Peter arrive on the scene at this moment and Olivia pursues Long. August gives Peter his weapon (a gun producing blasts of energy) and he is able to use it to shoot at Long on the roof of the motel. August is scurried from the hotel, wounded, and is seen in the back of a car driven by The Observer. In tears, he states that he loved Hollis. The Observer confirms to August that Hollis will now be safe as "you made her important, she is responsible for the death of one of us".
