He proposes using lead rods to focus the radiation in the hopes a "weather plane" or "radiation detection station" will detect the focused rays and investigate. The radiation, however, degrades their handmade shield and inexplicably rapidly ages a tree.

As the Professor and Skipper prepare the rods, the exhausted Gilligan has a dream they have all aged into elderly versions of themselves.
