Nevermind. I'll just restart from scratch since I don't know how to connect those vertices as you suggest. I've tried a few methods, and since you can't open the scene (I followed a guide to convert it to a maya 5.0 ascii file, which opens fine in 6.0 and says its an older version), but nothing has worked.
Thanks for trying I guess.
