Following the events of Half-Life 2, Episode One starts out with Gordon seeing a reality altered by the Vortigaunts’ influence, who went back in time and rewound the final events of Half-Life 2 to just before the G-Man has his way. As time stops, several purple glowing Vortigaunts appear and rescue Alyx Vance. The G-Man is then seen walking through the door made of light toward Gordon Freeman. As he opens his mouth to say something, he is distracted by blue lights and is separated from Gordon by another group of Vortigaunts. Several of them surround the G-Man and block him off from Gordon with a blue energy shield. Obviously angered, he straightens his tie and looks at Gordon while saying in an irritated tone: "We'll see...about that." More Vortigaunts then surround and teleport Gordon, in the same manner as Alyx, removing them both from stasis.

Gordon wakes up outside the Citadel, buried under a pile of rubble. The Citadel is almost destroyed and has a portal above it. Dog digs Gordon out. and he is reunited with Alyx, who embraces him. Dog gives Gordon his Gravity Gun. Alyx contacts her father Eli and Dr. Kleiner through a portable monitor, to inform them that Gordon is safe (Eli earlier told Alyx that Gordon wouldn't be found, implying his knowledge of the G-Man and his stasis). Kleiner tells Alyx that the Citadel Core is at risk of exploding at any moment. Kleiner states that the explosion could be large enough to level the whole of City 17, and that the only possible way to survive would be to re-enter the Citadel and slow the core's progression toward meltdown. Eli interrupts, showing distress at placing his daughter in further danger, but reluctantly agrees when he sees no other option. Alyx and Gordon re-enter the Citadel to try to reactivate the stabilization mechanism for the core in order to avert disaster. Dog throws a van that has the duo in it and it lands in the Citadel

During their time in the Citadel, they discover a recording of the discussion between a Combine Advisor and Dr. Breen before Gordon chased him down in Half-Life 2. Breen reprises his words from HL2, and Alyx momentarily believes Breen is still alive before checking the recording time and realizing it is from the past. The recording ends, interrupted by a brief image of a Combine Advisor. Alyx and Gordon are then subject to psychic blasts as an Advisor Pod is transported through a tube in the control room. Gordon walks into a Confiscation Field that supercharges his Gravity Gun They then proceed down a glass elevator to the Citadel Core.
