Episode One begins after the explosion of the reactor from which Gordon was extracted by the G-Man and where Alyx Vance was left behind. Time suddenly freezes, and several purple Vortigaunts appear and rescue Alyx from the blast. After she is rescued, the Vortigaunts appear before the G-Man and stand between him and Gordon. They teleport Gordon away from the scene, much to the G-Man's displeasure.[11]
D0g retrieves Gordon out from under some junk outside the Citadel, and Gordon reunites with Alyx, who is relieved to see him. Alyx contacts Eli Vance and Isaac Kleiner, who have escaped the city, and is informed the Citadel's core is at risk of exploding at any moment.[12] Kleiner states the explosion could be large enough to level the whole of City 17, and the only way for them to survive is to re-enter the Citadel and slow the core's progression toward meltdown. Eli reluctantly agrees when he sees no other option (Undue Alarm).[13]
Alyx and Gordon re-enter the now-decaying Citadel to try to stabilize the core; Gordon is successful in re-engaging the reactor's containment field, which delays the explosion (Direct Intervention). Alyx discovers the Combine are deliberately accelerating the destruction of the Citadel to send a "transmission packet" to the Combine's homeworld. She downloads a copy of the message, which causes the Combine to prioritize them as targets.[14] Alyx also downloads a transmission from Dr. Judith Mossman, in which she mentions a "project" she has located, before being cut off by a Combine attack.[14] Afterwards, Alyx and Gordon board a train to escape the Citadel.
The train derails en-route, forcing the duo to proceed on foot (Lowlife). As they fight through the disorganized Combine forces and rampant alien infestations, Kleiner appears on the screens Breen once used to pass out propaganda, and gives out useful updates to the evacuating citizens about the latest turn of events as well as reiterating the Citadel's imminent collapse (Urban Flight).[15] Alyx and Gordon eventually meet up with Barney Calhoun and a group of other survivors who are preparing to move on a train station to escape City 17.[16] Alyx and Gordon provide cover for the passengers as they board (Exit 17).[17]
To keep the survivors safe, Alyx and Gordon opt to take a different train.[18] They manage to escape just as the reactor begins to detonate; the energy sends out the Combine's message.[19] Several pods containing Combine Advisors are ejected from the Citadel as it detonates. The resulting shockwave catches the train, derailing it. The last thing the player hears is the twisting of metal and Alyx whispering "...Gordon." The fate of Alyx and Gordon is revealed in Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
