Mmm, Red, I'm pretty sure this isn't how you make M&M's cookie dough. Trust me, Yellow, just one spoonful of mixture. Mmm. And it's into the oven you go. The oven? Red, baking your friends isn't the best recipe. Oh. Try these new M&M's cookie dough instead. Mmm, mmm. New M&M's cookie dough flavor. No baking needed. M&M's. It's more fun together. There are kids in this world who are different, special. They fell through a portal and got lost in the 80s. And now their time is running out. I feel like everyone's staring at me. Sorry, I... Monica, it's like I'm looking at... I know. Adelaide, this is my husband James. His jaw doesn't usually hang open like that. Sorry, I... Nice to meet you. You too. You took JP Winniere's daughter. I couldn't leave her there. Adelaide is sick. Very sick. What if I can help her? I don't understand what's happening. Katie, can you see if Adelaide wants a snack or something from the helicopter? Huh? Oh. Yeah, sure. Come on, ads. Hi, I'm Katie. Let me show you around the chopper. Okay, thank you. Monica, you are an amazing, selfless person. And I love you so much for that. I really do. But, Whittier is going to come after us. He was going to come after us anyway. But if someone took my daughter, I would have... I have come back with an army. So, what's the plan here? I think it's to fix the future, right, Mom? Fix the... What you're suggesting is that... You want to save Adelaide? But Dr. A, what if you save Adelaide and... And we lose holiday. I'm not so sure about this river. Long way down. Come on, Sam. Have I let you roam yet? You really want me to answer that? Kinda. Are we even sure the lake is deep enough? This place was made to be perfect, right? Being able to jump into that lake from this cliff would be perfect. Deductive reasoning. I don't think you're using that term properly. Come on. Do you trust me? I don't trust you. I don't trust you. I don't think you're using that term properly. Come on. Do you trust me? Give me your hand. So you can pull me away from the edge. So we can jump together! On three. One, two, three! Oh! Woo-hoo! Go! So warm! What did I tell you? Perfect. Perfect. What's wrong? Right. This place is paradise. That should be a happy thing, right? Yeah, it's just... what's the plan? What's next? Even if the camps let us stay, are we just gonna grow up on this island? I don't like having my future decided for me at all. Don't get me wrong. But... But this doesn't feel like real life. What about school? I do kinda wanna be a doctor one day. You know, help people? How will I ever do that? From here. Sam... Did you hear that? River! Robot lions are real? It's gonna pound! It's quick! Hey! Down kitty! Leave them alone. Atta boy. Holiday! You found us? Just in time. The animals who listen to you? Kinda surprised that worked after all this time, but... yeah. We're on the same wavelength. How'd you track us down? Let me guess. The cam sold us out? Of course they did. They're my friends. Look, before you get all defensive. Whoa, who's defensive? You were saying? I'm not here to lecture you. What about Birdie? She here too? I asked her to hang back with Badger. I just want to talk. Oh, what's that? Another lion? Sorry to disappoint. Just me. I told you to wait by the huts. But this island is fascinating. Everything here is robotic! Who are you? Ah, how rude of me. The name's Jude. You and I... We've got a lot in common. Yeah, how's that? Well... For one... I'm biological. And... We're all... You know... Out of time. You're from the past. I was. We're here to help you get back. So much for not lecturing. Let me save you some time. No thanks. River, wait! No thank you. It's okay, a holiday. Let me go talk to him. That went about as well as I expected. River has strong feelings about being told what to do. I've noticed. Want us to... Pull up a rock. Don't mind if I do. Nice place. Yeah. I lived here for a while with Cam and Badger... And Adam. And later, when I found out the truth about myself... I came back. Why didn't you stay? I missed my family. Holiday? Yeah. Tell me about your mom. If we can save that little girl and make the world a safer, happier place in the process... Don't we owe it to ourselves and our children to try? But if Adelaide survives, then Whittier doesn't need to... Build holiday. What are you thinking? What am I thinking? I'm thinking about the four. The Whitt kids. I'm thinking about the fear and suffering that started because JP Whittier lost his only daughter. Maybe it doesn't have to be that way. But even if you could find a cure... There has to be a way, James. There has to be a way we can save Adelaide and not lose holiday. How, mom? How, Dr. A? I don't know. But I have to figure it out. She's just a kid. And I took an oath as a doctor. I can't just look the other way. James, please say something. Your capacity to love and heal is something that never stops amazing me. From the time I first met you after my dumb motorcycle accident, you've been helping people. We were just kids ourselves. I was lying there on the side of the road and I looked up and it was like a miracle. I would have married you on the spot. But I made you wait. Until after medical school. And I waited because you made me want to be a better person. I didn't need you to be better, James. No. You accepted me for who I was. Questionable decisions and all. So, while I don't understand all of this, I accept you and love you for trying to help. Like you always do. And if anyone is gonna figure this out, it's you. You guys, you're so sweet. That's what real love is, isn't it? Accepting someone for who they really are. And wanting to be better for them. In every way. Encouraging each other to grow. Yeah. Si? What do you think? I think I agree with Dad. It's crazy. And if anyone can figure out how to do this, it's you. No. If anyone can figure out how to do it, it's us. All of us. I want to help Adelaide too. She's a good kid and she doesn't deserve this. No one does. We've got your back, Dr. A. Thank you. But James is right about one thing. We've got to get out of here before Dr. Whittier and his goons come after us. But where can we go? We'll need access to medicine and tech and... Elixir key! It exists now? Pretty sure. I remember reading a stone on the building. Guinevere Fontaine founded it in 1989. Angel confirmed that it exists. Guinevere is Whittier's wife. What? Yeah, we don't know what it means. Whatever. There's one place in this world that can help us save Adelaide and travel through time. It's that crazy island. Can we make it there? We may need to stop a few times to refuel, but... Yeah, yeah, we can do it. I'll go tell Adelaide and Katie. Cyrus, come help prep the helicopter. Right behind you. Monica, I'm proud of you. Me too, Mom. Goodbye, Whittier Corp. So, your parents just... risked everything for you? Even though I was a total stranger. You were like me and River when they pulled you out of the water. Pretty much. Didn't know who I was, what I was, Mom took me in, took care of me, fought for me, loved me. I was never not her daughter. She did that for Casey and Brindley and Badger, and even Adam for a while. Sounds like she always had the answers. No. But even when she was scared, and she must have been scared a lot, she could still make me believe everything was going to be okay. Maybe all moms have that. I don't think so. I think you got a good one. She really is the most amazing woman I've ever known. There was a reason I chose to be found by her. By the Anders family. The world is a better place for having them in it. Wow. That's a lot to live up to. You have it in you, Sam. I'd know it even if I didn't know who you grow up to be. Thanks. Are you worried about her? I am. But my dad said they're okay. Wait, you talked to your dad in 1989? How? I'm the time phone thing Cyrus invented. I guess it actually works. The time phone. Crazy, right? But it connected me to them. They're safe. For now. Just... Not here. No. Wow. Science is so cool. You sound like Cyrus. Can I see that? Sure. What was that? Not gonna lie, I could do without the scary robot animals. Let me go see if that lion is getting restless again. Stay here. Monica Anders. Doctor Monica Anders. What's that for? James, you left the... Time phone? Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Hi. Is this... Doctor Anders? Hi. Hey.
