Because learning should never be boring. The ocean and the stars wait home until hope and ghost and death. There are kids in this world who are different. Special. One of them found us. And became family. But her time ran out. And now that girl is missing. Come in. Hello again, holiday. Dr. Whittier. How are you today? I'm fine. What can I do for you? I wanted to stop by to apologize. Apologize? For what? I feel as though we got off on the wrong foot. And I'm hoping we can get to know each other better. Maybe even work together. I told you. I'm not who you think I am. I know that. In fact, I know who you really are, holiday. Or more accurately, what you are. I don't know what you... I was wrong before, but I was right about one thing. You may be a machine, but I'm still your father. You... You know? It's miraculous. I would never have guessed a biopsybunetic android. Admiring your work, are you? I mean, I've been thinking about human presenting robots since I was a teenager myself. To see it in the flesh. It? You. To see you. Well, take a bow, doc. You look so much like my adelaide. That was the idea. To replace her because she died. And I did it. Took you a few tries. Are you saying there were failures? No, not failures. They were people with lives and feelings. You treated them like broken experiments. Is that why you're so angry with me? Were they your friend? You tried to control me, too. You ran away from me? And joined the other three. We wanted to stop you from hurting anyone else. But some of them were too hurt themselves, too set on revenge. So I left them too. I found something better. A real family. You found the enders. Adelaide, my dear, I don't know what you heard, but... Is it true? What's she saying? Wait. What's happening? Oh, no, not this. Papa? What's going on? Something feels strange. Oh, dear. Adelaide, on a holiday, you're both pulsing in and out. Flicker with me. Has this happened before? Yes. I'll be island before. What's happening to us? Adelaide, come with me. I need to get you out of here. Papa? Come, Adelaide, now! What about me? Meet me at the loading dock round back. I think I can help you get home. Hey, Mom. It's me, Brinny. Guess what? I went to the homecoming dance. The decorations were a bit much, but it was a real dance. And there were special circumstances. It was more a mission than a date, but still, I went with a boy. His name is Sol. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. He's a great dancer. I went with a boy. His name is Cyrus, and he's... well, I think you'd like him. He's very smart. Don't tell him I said that. Like I said, it was a mission. We were looking for this kid named Penn. He opens portals. Long story, long, totally normal story. But I wore a dress, a beautiful yellow one. He wore a tie. And Daddy took about a thousand pictures. I wish he were there. Oh no. Mom, it's happening again and again and again. Your world's... Where am I? Daddy? Brenny, I have some tough news to share. But you're my strong girl, and I know you can handle it. What? It's about your mom. She's gone, and I don't know when she'll be back or if she'll be back. No. I'm sure this is hard to hear, especially at your age. Mom is... gone? Wait, why did she leave? Did she ever come back? Oh, I'm back. And... mom, you're still here. But in that other world, you were gone. Um, I need to tell you about these visions I've been having. Of a world that's kind of like this one, but kind of not. And in the one I just visited, Daddy was telling me you'd left. And I could feel... I could feel that you weren't coming back. I... I need to get some water. Oh! Brinley! Hey, what's wrong? Cyrus. Are... are you okay? Is it your mom? Yes. No, I... I saw it again. The other world. Are we sure we're doing the right thing? What do you mean? I mean, we sure it's better than this one. Well, my sister was there. And you and I were... what is it? The old lady! The one I saw outside the school watching me! She's right there looking at me again! Hey! You, come back! Brinley! Hey! You! Who are you? Why are you following me? What do you want? Sorry, this isn't the time. But I'll see you soon, Brinley. Wait! Is that...? She's on a hoverboard? Okay, Angel. Angelica. This is where it starts. Ivan, you awake? Darksewing sleep mode. Greetings, Angel. What are you doing up at this hour? Oh, just... running some errands. Request lab access. I don't believe you're authorized for this lab. Apologies. Access granted. Thank you. Okay. The samples should be in the refrigerated storage locker. There it is. Gen A blood. I'll just take one and a syringe. May I ask, why are you taking that vial of blood? Oh, just gonna try a little experiment. It's my blood, after all. Or it was before Dr. Whittier cured me. Would you like my assistance? I'm heading down to the living quarters. Just maybe... keep watch. Watch over what? Are James, Anders, and Monica Purcell asleep? Yes. Respiration is steady. Cool. Where do I begin? I think... James goes first. He's sturdier. And more expendable. Syringe cap off. What do you think you're doing? I always wondered, what is it with Whittier Corp and helicopters? That's a good question, Holiday. The cynical take is that they're intimidating. The big machine comes roaring out of the sky. People take notice. Then there, one from that. I'm sorry? Nothing. You were saying? I was saying that the truth is, I've always been fascinated by the idea of hovering through the sky. Do you know, before my wife disappeared, she was working on a prototype for a hoverboard? Hovey. Like the one the boy rides in that film about the brilliant scientist. Where are we going, exactly? You said something about an anomaly you found in the mountains? That's right. And you think it could be a way to get me back to my time? Holiday, meeting you has meant more to me than you could ever know. You made me see that the possibilities of discovery and invention are limitless. You're a true marvel. Not just of science, but of humanity. Ah, thanks. I guess. I spent so many years trying to save my Adelaide, and I suppose in the world you come from, I failed. So I built you to try to fill the void of what I'd lost. Void? Now there's an interesting word. Despite your origins, you seem like a good person, loyal and brave. Your parents must be proud. Dr. Whittier. You were intended to take Adelaide's place, and I'm certain you meant a great deal to me in that other life. But in this life, my dear beloved Adelaide is still here. And I'm sorry to say, after what I saw in my office, I realize now, only one of you can exist. And I must choose my daughter.

Imagination amplified. Six hours on United Airlines, one very chatty Uber, and I'm here, back in Ben's front yard bushes. I haven't heard anything about six minutes today. One, two, three. Okay, I'm here. Oh, that's a really bad hiding spot, dude. Under the mat? Okay, I'm going in. Okay, walking into Ben's office and... huh. Okay, on the whiteboard it says, six minutes day, June 1st. I wonder why he's been so shifty about it. June 1st, 730 Eastern, 430 Pacific. Oh, who's laughing? Um, yeah, I'm getting out of here. June 1st, see you then, I hope. Thanks.
