And now their time is running out. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. Okay, we made it. Everybody out. Huh, Elixir Key looks a little different than it did the last time we were here. You mean 35 years from now? Looks like the school isn't even finished being built. Pretty close though. Katie, your K-Beam back here? Surprisingly? Yeah. I guess this place has no power over me anymore. I'm glad to hear that. Dad? What's up, Sai? Brinley and Katie are really getting along, huh? What happened at that cabin? Well, I'll let Brinley tell you the whole story, but they've been through a lot together. We all have. How are you feeling, Adelaide? I know this has been a big day for you. It has, Dr. Purcell. Sorry, Anders. It's fine. Are you tired? I'm okay. Do you really think there's a way to cure me here? It's my understanding Elixir Key has pretty remarkable resources. So if a cure is possible, this could be the best place for you. You think the answers are inside that building? Elixir Academy. A school you can't find on a map. Can I help you, folks? Hi. Are you the foreman on this site? I am. You lost? No. My wife and I are with a group of prospective students. We came to check the place out, but we were under the impression it would be in operation by now. That was the plan until we had to halt construction. Something happened to slow you down? You could say that. The, uh, boss disappeared. Disappeared? Who's your boss? Is it JP Whittier? No. The boss is the founder of the school. One day, she was here. Next day, gone. She went to the year of hunting. Get your hands off me, you big toaster! Set her down over there, please, Simon. Yes, sir! You're wasting your time, Dr. Whittier. I'm not going to cooperate with you. I don't care how many child catchers or robots you sick on me. Tell me where Monica Anders took my Adelaide. You left her no choice. She was trying to help you and your daughter. If you hadn't made her and Cyrus your prisoners, they'd all still be here. She lied to me. She lied about who she was, and now she has my sweet girl. What if I never see her again? Then you'll only have yourself to blame. Angel, will you help me bring them back? How? You took away my powers. I'm of no use to you anymore. Now, listen up, Camilla. Which one? There are many Camilla models on the island. They all answer to the same name, don't they? That is a very anti-bot attitude, Mr. Noted. Attention, all cams present. The schematics for the new bassinet are very specific. Firstly, the baby, also known as Penn, who's right over there. Hello again. We'll go here, with his head slightly elevated at an incline of approximately 15 degrees. 15. Understood? Now, the battery... Don't... me, Lord Voldemort, goes right here. And of course, the guide is remmy over there. The guide is in the house. He will be connected to the device, like so. Now we'll be working in... How we doing over here, peeps? I'm not so sure about this holiday. Should you really be the one calling the shots? Gonna go out on a limb and say, heck no. You guys... If you're about to defend him, holiday, you can save it. I'm this close to zapping his British... bottom into infinity. British bottom. See? Even Cybot wants to watch that. We all want that, Case. The guy kidnapped me and helped me hostage. I'm about ready to fry him and drop him off the waterfall. Whoa, Casey, come over here. Talk to me. Honestly, what are you thinking working with this maniac? You really want to put our fate and the fate of your family in the hands of Whittier 1.0? No, of course not. It's a terrible idea, but it's also better than all the other bad ideas. Not so sure about that. Whatever we think of Jude and Dr. Whittier for that matter, he does want the same thing as we do. But why? Is it all because of his weird obsession with Brinley? I guess. That doesn't give me a ton of confidence. Maybe not. But you know what should? Believing in my family. Once we're all back together with you and Penn and Remy, we'll be unstoppable. Whatever Jude has planned, he won't have a chance against all of us. We are a killer team. The killerist. We owe it to my mom and dad to do everything in our power to make this right. Think of all they went through to make me a member of their family. You too, Case. We can't let them down. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. Okay, let's figure out how to open that portal. The music to my ears. It would be long now, Brinley. This is a school? An empty one. Nice work paying off the foreman, Dad. Twenty bucks goes a lot further in 1989. Probably could have gotten away with offering him five. Katie, still good? I mean, good is probably a strong word. But I'm hanging in there. Thanks for asking. Dr. Anders, I might need to sit down soon. Here, Adelaide, can you climb on my back? Like a piggyback ride? You have for it? Okay. Help her on, Psy. Thank you, Mr. Anders. Happy to help. Girls, can you direct us to the lab so I can begin my experiments and get Adelaide some help? The Oasis rooms might be a good place to start. I remember where they are. I can show you the way, Mom. Maybe Brinley and I can do some exploring in the meantime. See if we can find anything helpful. Okay, but keep your guards up. There's no telling who or what could be lurking in this place. Always. Super weird being here without any students, huh? So quiet. You want to go find our dorm room? Reminisce about the good old days? The good old days when you took over the whole room? And you ruined my life. I wonder why one of your fontaine disappeared in the middle of construction? Good question. Did you ever meet her? Nah. She was gone from the school by the time I arrived. Weird. Maybe we should go to the headmaster's office. See if it has any clues. Couldn't hurt. Famous last words. Sir, we've still had no luck tracking down the helicopter. Adelaide? I'm sure she's safe with Dr. Anders and her family. You don't know that, Angel. Adelaide was so ill. How could Monica just take her from me? Look, Dr. Whittier, I can see how scared you are. Don't get me wrong. I'm not letting you off the hook for all the terrible things you've done. To me especially. But I'm sorry for what you're going through. Thank you, Angel. I'm sorry too. For everything. But you do know there's nothing more I can do for you, right? My powers are gone. I can't get into people's heads. If I could, maybe I'd try to take away some of your pain right now. That's very kind of you. Where will you go? Go? I'm not sure. My mom and I, things aren't great since she... Turned you over to us. Yeah. And she's definitely not going to be happy to learn that I'm no longer of value. Maybe it's time to just be a normal kid, you know? Go to school, make friends. Angel, wait. Huh? You could stay here. Stay here and do what? You're still valuable. You're clever and determined. You don't need powers to be an asset to this company, or to me. You have a bright future. Thank you for saying that, but I don't think... Please, I am on the brink of losing everything, including my beloved daughter. When she's gone, I'll have no family at all. I can't bear to be alone. I mean, I guess I could stay for a little while longer if it means that much to you. It means everything. Angelica. Angelica? But I... Angelica. Can I ask? What about your wife? Don't you need to run all of this past her? I don't know where my wife is. About a month ago, my precious Winnivere vanished. It's as if she dropped off the face of the earth. Announcement to all team members. We've almost completed work on the bassinet. Does that mean we can expect to be sucked into the time void any minute now? The portal should be opened before sunset. And then back we go to 1989. Yeah. You okay? I hope you know how much it means to me that you agreed to go back. I mean, there's stuff I'll miss from 2025 for sure. I mean, we have to wait like 20 years for smartphones. But I'm not too sad. I know everything you said about us needing to go back home was right. Things do need to play out the way they're meant to. Yeah. Can you hold my hand? Sure. What's going on? I need you to look me in the eye for a second, okay? And promise me you'll be totally honest. Do you think once we're back home that we'll remember all of this? Will you remember me? Will I remember you? I sure hope so. Forgive me for eavesdropping, but I may be able to help answer that. Jude, you know whether we'll be able to keep our memories? I can't say for certain. I haven't fully grasped how this whole time travel thing works. Why, some memories stay and others drift away, but I do know this. If two people are meant to be together, they'll find their way to each other. No matter the time or place. I believe that too. Yeah, me too. Jude, can I ask what makes you so sure? Years ago, I was contacted by my older self. Like me? What did he, er, you say? That I was destined to love an incredible woman named Gwynevere. And when I did find her, like he said I would, and rescued her from the water, I knew immediately that it was true. Definitely didn't miss this twisty old staircase. Never was fun being called to the headmaster's office, was it? Nope. Katie, I don't know if I've totally thanked you. For what? Being here. You could be out there looking for your parents right now. I mean, now that we know I'm not your, you're not my... Hey, Brinley, stop, okay? Remember what Mr. Anders said? Blood doesn't automatically make someone a parent. Cadence was every bit your mom. She loved you. You two had a genuine connection that was bigger than biology. And if we're being honest, you and I do now too. You really think so? I really do. Thanks. Me too. We're family, do or die. Okay, that's about all the staff I can muster up for one day. How about you? Oh yeah. Ready to go inside? Lead the way. What the heck? Place has barely finished being built, but the headmaster's office has alarm? Look, lasers. Katie, back away! No, Brinley, stay out! Welcome back, headmaster. Headmaster? She's here? I don't see her. Brinley, it's you. Access authorized. One of your phone teams. Access authorized. Access authorized. Access authorized. Access authorized.

Interesting selection. Who picked these reviews? Not me. Okay, I guess I am the liar. It was me. And I'll look at that in my pants or on fire. Get rid of my pants or on fire!
