And now their time is running out. [music] Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Really? Holiday? Of all the people, in all the places, in all the times? You weren't on the other end of this phone? It's actually good to hear your voice. Yours too! Where are you? What are your corp? You? Same. Only. Only? I'm in 1989. Wow! I've had to do that, but just hearing it out loud... I know. It's weird, even for us. I want you to know, we've never given up on finding you guys, and we'll never stop trying to bring you home. Really? But, hey, everyone's okay, right? Cyrus, mom, dad? Uh, yeah. Yeah. All good. Ah! I want to talk to all of them! What's going on? Cyrus! Put Cyrus on! I wish I could, but he's not able to come to the phone right now. What does that mean? Well, uh... Sparelet, friendly. What's going on? Kind of... a lot. I can't get into it right now. We're in the middle of something. Listen. We'll keep working on getting you back. Casey's looking for that pen kid down in Florida. Pen? Pen. I mean, you know, all the necessary components of time travel? What was that? Really? Are you still there? Huh? I... I don't think I understand. Oh, no! I think the phone's breaking up. Really? Are you there? Um, I... I... I... I think I'm gonna lose you. Just... Ah, my head. The time phone's safe, okay? We'll find you. I promise. I don't. Really? Really? Really? Really? Snap out of it! Uh, hello? Really? Huh? Okay, okay. Mom? Ugh, oh boy. [music] Do-do. Snap out of it! Hey! Wake up! What? Why are you shaking me? Quit it. Wait. Where'd Dr. Whittier go? No clue. But let's focus on you for a second. Really? You want to focus on me? Are you okay? Are you okay? You were just in, like, La La Land. La La Land. It's like when you were on Elixir Key and your brain kept going all kablooey. Huh? You called me mom. Really? I remember talking to Cyrus' sister Holiday, but then it gets fuzzy. Like I was... drifting. Do you remember what Holiday said? They're trying to find us. They want to bring us home. But then it went dead. So, now what? We find Cyrus. ASAP. Everyone drying off okay? I'm good. Angel. I think I'm just gonna get used to this permanent state of damp. Dad, any idea what happened while we were up there in the helicopter? Nothing you didn't already know. Intense power surge. It came from Whittier Corp. Thoughts on what could have caused it? Angelica? She goes by Angel. No, that's ironic. I'm getting the sense you weren't big fans of grown-up me. You could say that. You were... will be... not what I'd call a nice person. How not nice are we talking? We wouldn't want to put ideas in your head. You tried to kidnap our daughter. You sent one of your minions. I have minions? To burn down our home. That's not good. You chased us all over the country? I think she gets the point. Yep. Got it. We're not friends. No, but as you said to me, you're not Angelica. She's not, guys. You're right. It's wrong of me to hold Angelica's future misdeeds against you, Angel. Thank you. Dr. Anders? James? What she said. So, what's it like in there? Where? Whittier Corp. 1989 version. Well, the tech is ancient. Ivan has a body and Dr. Whittier. You saw him? He brought me here to help him. You've been helping JP Whittier. Honestly, it took everything I had not to punch him in the face. What he tried to do to holiday? I know. It's unforgivable, Mom, but... 1989 Whittier isn't the same person we know, is he? This Whittier, all he wants to do is save Adelaide, his daughter. Did you meet her, too? Yeah. It's uncanny how much she looks like Holiday did. Oh. So, what's his plan? I mean, is he... Beginning to work on the Gen A serum? Yes. That's kind of where I come in. How so? Mom, Angel has abilities. She can control people's minds. No way. Mind control? How did you receive these abilities? I was born with them. Mom, Angel's the first. The original. She's... Patient A? That's me. Monica, did you know there was an original Whitt kid? I knew there was a patient that was born different, especially. But in all the years I worked on creating the serum, Dr. Whittier never told me who it was. Not even when Angelica came into the picture again? No. So your blood is where the Gen A serum will come from? Wow. Yeah. Wow. That means they've been... experimenting on you? Yes. That's awful. I'm so sorry. Hey, I'm gonna help change the world. At least that's what Dr. Whittier tells me. I hate to bring up the question at the moment, but... Anybody have thoughts on how we're gonna get back to 2025? How did we even get here? It was Penn, that Whitt kid who opens portals. Unfortunately, he's still there and we're here. So we're stuck. Unless... unless what? Well, we may not have a Whitt kid that opens portals in 1989, but what if we could... make one? Come on, Brinley. Let's get to the ele... a robot. Marines, please identify yourselves to enter the elevator. You know that voice, Ivan? Looks like original recipe, Ivan. He's on... legs? Ivan, can you take us to Cyrus Anders right away? Please, identify yourselves. Uh, I think we should abandon this idea. We're not supposed to be here. Ivan, it's me, Brinley Pasternak. Please don't squash us. Welcome, Brinley Pasternak. What in the world? See? My name opens doors. In our time period, Cyrus gave me lifetime credentials at Holiday Corp. He must have done the same thing when he got here, just in case. Executive floor, please. That's actually kind of sweet. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing. Ugh! What's going on? Why did we stop? I don't know. Are we losing power? Something's wrong, Brinley. What's going on with your voice? These lights have to stop flickering. Brinley? Where are you? It's pitch black! Okay, lights are on. Brinley? Brinley? You're not Brinley. Yes, I am. How did I get here? Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
