I wouldn't want to penalise anyone for circumstances out of his control. However, the rest of the group decided to play and he wasn't there for any of the session, so campaign rules would say he doesn't get a chronicle.
He can play Part 4 without having played Part 3 (players should have played the previous three and must play the series in order without other games in between). This will apply a significant disadvantage to his final rewards, though it's still possible for him to get everything.
He'll still take that disadvantage if he gets a zeroed chronicle for Part 3. He may be able to play Part 3 later in another run, if at that time he can replay Parts 1, 2 and 4. On the whole it's a bit better for him not to have a chronicle for it, besides more rational and legitimate.
There's enough magical wackiness going on that there's even a couple of reasonable explanations for him disappearing at the start of Part 3 and reappearing shortly after the start of Part 4, as your GM decides to play it.

As far as I know, he is stranded and unable to continue.+1
Isn't there the possibility to run scenario 3 again for him, using the rest of the party (which obviously have played it before) to make the table legal? They won't get any rewards, and their consumables are tracked like normal, but at least this person who missed it might be able to continue with the rest of you guys.
Minimum Legal Table Size: You are permitted to
replay an adventure in order to meet the minimum legal
table size, with the following stipulations.Notify the GM: You must inform the GM that you have
already played the adventure or run it as a GM. GMs are
encouraged to be as flexible as possible when replaying
an adventure is the only method to run a legal table, but
a GM has the right to deny replaying an adventure to
players if she feels uncomfortable running an adventure
for players who have foreknowledge of the story.No Spoilers: Spoiling plot points or using insider
knowledge to affect game play is grounds for the GM to
remove players from the table. You should be very careful
about character knowledge versus player knowledge. If
you are concerned about possible spoilers, take the GM
aside and ask her how she would like to handle it.Rewards: Replaying to make a legal table doesn’t earn
any rewards. The Chronicle sheet for the adventure is
a placeholder. It should note that the scenario has been
replayed for no credit and award no gold, Prestige Points,
Fame, XP, boons, item access, or any other benefits or
disadvantages. You must track consumables, purchases,
and conditions acquired by playing the adventure. This
is the only exception to not having two copies of the same
Chronicle sheet assigned to one character.

Honestly, I would probably let the party do that if that’s what is necessary to keep the group together. What I would definitely have done (I’m not trying to place blame here, so please nobody take it that way) is reschedule the game if one of the players couldn’t make it, especially if it was a legitimate family emergency. This is EotT we’re talking about, after all.

I suppose so. I was denied the ability to play my bard instead of my rogue when replaying for no credit because of the 'no character can have two of the same chronicles' rule, forgetting that the no credit chronicle was the exception to that rule.
