Poe is taken away for interrogation by Kylo Ren. Finn was part of the attack as a stormtrooper, however he was horrified by what he saw and let people flee. His commanders openly express their displeasure and plan to 'dispose' of Finn. Not being able to fly, Finn rescues Poe, steals a tie fighter and escapes, though having taken fire, Poe is unconscious at the controls and crash landing on a desert planet. Finn manages to eject, while the fighter continues over the horizon .
