The group travel into the wild, where Gandalf saves the company from trolls and leads them to Rivendell. While there, Elrond reveals more secrets from the map. Passing over the Misty Mountains,
they are caught by goblins and driven deep underground. Although
Gandalf rescues them, Bilbo gets separated from the others as they flee
the goblin tunnels. Lost and disoriented, he stumbles across a mysterious ring and then encounters Gollum, who engages him in a game of riddles with deadly stakes. With the help of the ring, which confers invisibility, Bilbo escapes and rejoins the dwarves, raising his reputation with them. The goblins and Wargs give chase and the company are saved by eagles before resting in the house of Beorn, the skin-changer.

The company enter the black forest of Mirkwood without Gandalf. In Mirkwood, Bilbo first saves the dwarves from Giant Spiders and then from the dungeons of the Wood-elves.
Nearing the Lonely Mountain, the travellers are welcomed by the human
inhabitants of Lake-town, who hope the dwarves will fulfil prophecies
of Smaug's demise. The expedition travel to the Mountain and find the
secret door; Bilbo scouts the dragon's lair, stealing a great cup and
learning of a weakness in Smaug's armour. The enraged dragon, deducing
that Lake-town has aided the intruder, sets out to destroy the town. A
noble thrush who overheard Bilbo's report of Smaug's vulnerability reports it to Bard the Bowman, who slays the Dragon.

When the dwarves take possession of the mountain, Bilbo finds the Arkenstone,
an heirloom of Thorin's dynasty, and steals it. The Wood-elves and
Lake-men besiege the Mountain and request compensation for their aid,
reparations for Lake-town's destruction, and settlement of old claims
on the treasure. Thorin refuses and, having summoned his kin from the
north, reinforces his position. Bilbo tries to ransom the Arkenstone to
head off a war, but Thorin is intransigent. He banishes Bilbo, and
battle seems inevitable.

Gandalf reappears to warn all of an approaching army of goblins and
Wargs. The dwarves, men, and elves band together, but only with the
timely arrival of the eagles and Beorn do they win the climactic Battle of Five Armies.
Thorin, mortally wounded, lives long enough to part from Bilbo as a
friend. The treasure is divided fairly, but, having no need or desire
for it, Bilbo refuses most of his contracted share. Nevertheless, he
returns home wealthy.

In the Northeastern United States,
people inexplicably begin committing suicide en masse. First they
become disoriented, then stop moving, and finally find the quickest way
to kill themselves. The pandemic begins in parks, and quickly spreads to nearby population centers. Initially believed to be a bioterrorist attack, it later seems less likely, as the events increase in ever smaller population centers.

Elliot Moore is a high school science teacher in Philadelphia discussing with his students the sudden disappearance of a honeybee. When news of the sudden mass suicides spreads, school is cancelled, and he decides to leave the city by train with his wife, Alma Moore, his friend and fellow teacher, Julian and Julian's eight-year-old daughter, Jess. The train services stop in the small town of Filbert in western Pennysylvania, after the crew loses contact with "everyone." Julian finds out that the "attacks" have affected Princeton, New Jersey, where his wife was located, and leaves Jess with Elliot while he hitches
a ride in an attempt to find her. Soon after arriving in Princeton, he
and his fellow passengers fall victim to the strange calamity, and
promptly commit suicide by crashing their vehicle into a tree.

Meanwhile, Elliot, Alma, and Jess manage to hitchhike with a botanist and his wife; the man explains his theory that plants are attacking people as a defense mechanism.
He elaborates on the complex mechanisms that often seem to appear
spontaneously, involving strategies such as attracting predators to
kill off specific threats and fostering communication between different
species of plants. As they drive, they find themselves surrounded on
all sides by affected towns. A number of other cars arrive in the same
crossroads, all fleeing places hit by the suicide pandemic. A U.S. Army Soldier, Private First Class
Auster, suggests moving away from the population centers on foot to
avoid being affected, as the effect has been occurring in smaller and
smaller populations.

The group of survivors splits into two, with Elliot, Alma, and Jess
in a smaller group. Auster's group, arguing amongst themselves are
caught within the effect, and Elliot, hearing the other group kill
themselves one after another with a single pistol, concludes that it is
likely caused by an airborne neurotoxin
exuded by the surrounding plants. The larger the group of people, the
more likely it is to trigger the defense mechanism. Elliot makes the
group split into three smaller ones with Elliot, Alma, Jess, and two
teenage boys staying together.

While looking for food for Jess, Elliot's group come across a
boarded up house with survivors inside, still believing the pandemic to
be a terrorist attack. They are unwilling to open the doors, and when
the two teenage boys begin to aggressively force an entry, they are
shot dead and Elliot's group is forced to leave. They make their way to
the house of a woman living in complete isolation; thus, she is
ignorant of the pandemic. Though she allows them to stay, she proves to
be a harsh and paranoid host. In the morning, Elliot finds himself
alone; going downstairs, he hears the voices of Alma and Jess but
cannot find them. He inadvertently enters the old woman's room and she
angrily insists that they leave immediately.

The woman storms out of the house into the garden, where she becomes
affected, and kills herself by smashing her head through the windows of
the house, exposing Elliot to the neurotoxin. Realizing that the
defense mechanism has become even more sensitive, affecting
individuals, Elliot shuts himself inside the house. Elliot finds
himself in a room where he can hear Alma and Jess. He finds a speaking tube, which leads to a spring house
some distance from the house. Conversing with his wife, he decides that
if he is to die, he would prefer to spend his remaining time with her.
They leave the safety of their buildings, meeting in the yard between
the two, but are surprised to find themselves unaffected by the
neurotoxin. The effect seems to have abated as quickly as it began.

Three months later, Elliot and Alma have adjusted to a new life with
Jess as their adopted daughter. On television, an environmentalist
warns that the pandemic may only have been a warning, like a rash that
precedes an infection. Elliot takes Jess to the bus stop for the first
day of school while Alma stays at home, timing a home pregnancy test;
it is positive. When he returns, Alma greets him with a smile, and they
embrace.

In France,
the effect appears to happen once again as everyone in sight suddenly
stops moving as the wind suddenly moves the trees, and the sky turns
dark and cloudy.
