If I catch the second bowing of the first unit of prayer in the eclipse prayer, what should I do?

A rak'ah in the eclipse prayer is caught by catching its first bowing (rukūʿ). If you only catch the second rak'ah with the Imam, you must perform a complete rak'ah after the salām, with its two recitations, two bowings, and two prostrations.
