PCV valve routing

I am helping a friend on a 2003 F-150 4.2L 2 wheel drive. I put spark plugs in it and was checking the PCV. there was a hose with an adaptor for the valve cover going from the throttle body to the rear of the right valve cover. The left valve cover had an open adaptor going into the front of it. It had a small plastic tube that looked like it should go into a hose somewhere, but it was not connected to anything. I think someone has left something off, but I am not familiar with this. Could someone show some pictures of that? Please.

It's the fresh air inlet for the PCV system. There's a port in the air inlet hose between the MAFS and the throttle body.

Thank you very much. I need to get an elbow for the PCV. It has a piece of heater hose on it.
