What Happens When A Flight Is Diverted?

Thunderstorms in the Dallas area forced many flights to divert. I have a few questions.

  1. What happens when a flight lands at the airport it was diverted to?
  2. What if that airport happened to be the final destination for some passengers? (eg. FAT-DFW was diverted to ICT as seen below, what if ICT was the final distination after DFW)
