And now their time is running out. I've been filled me in on all your heroic deeds holiday. It's incredibly impressive. You are incredibly impressive. Then you know that the last thing you're gonna wanna do is mess with me, do Pete Whittier. I'm not Dr. Whittier. I'm not the person who hurt you. Not yet, but from what I heard about what went down at Elixir Academy, you might be worse. I had my reasons for doing what I did there, and despite what you've been led to believe, I'm not evil. Is that why you flew all the way down here with your army of fake atoms? Why, you separated me from Bertie and Badger so you can make sure I know what a good guy you are? No, actually. I came to New Orleans at Adam's request. Then you are working together. We were, but he called me from Thornton Russ, which means he's likely figured out my true identity by now, and I seem to have lost the ability to direct him, remotely. I believe he'd be intended to lure me here and reprise what he did to Dr. Whittier. Not sure why that's my problem. First of all, I doubt your conscience would allow you to let that happen, but more importantly, if I don't live to a ripe old age, you might never be creative. You sure that's how time travel works? I can't say for certain, but are you really willing to find out if the Hollywood screenwriter's going right? Man, this all feels so familiar. Dr. Whittier was the king of self-preservation and manipulation. You and I, we want the same thing holiday. Which is what? To fix what happened when that portal opened on Elixir Keen. Adam only wants chaos and destruction. You're going to have to make a choice, holiday! Holiday, you'll never believe who Badger and I see. Jude? What are you doing here? Just having a nice chat with my new friend. Now I'd better go before it's too late. We can help one another holiday. We have to make a sign. I hope to hear from you soon. What the heck was that about? I'm not really sure. Phew, this blizzard is getting pretty gnarly. Look at you, all trendy with your 80s slang, Mr. A. I mean, dad. This is just how I talk, but okay. Bottom line, there's no way we can fly the helicopter out of here until the storm passes. Perfect. I already told you that. That's okay, Joe. It'll give us all a chance to get to know each other better. Right, Cadence? Thanks again for letting us wait it out in your lovely cabin. Hey, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself? Why? I don't know. Just curious. What drives you? What makes Joe Pasternak tick? Aren't you curious, Cadence? No. She's a real charmer. Oh, but she is. Be a charmer, Katie. I have no interest in making small talk with Elmer Fudd. What did you call me? We are very grateful for your hospitality, are we girls? No. Yes. Right. We really do like your house, Joe. It's very cozy. Cozy as a pet cemetery. What's that supposed to mean? It means your house is grossif, Joseph. My name isn't even Joseph. Then what's Joe short for? It's short for Joe take a hike. Get it? Joe take a hike? Okay, I'm done with this clown. I'm out of here. Welp. Maybe they just need to spend more time together. You think more time is the answer? Lots of the great love stories started out with people despising each other. Right? Probably. I mean, it's not like Cyrus and I were insta-crushing. True, but this feels aggressively unfriendly. They're my mom and dad. They have to fall in love. There must be something we can do. I'm not sure it's up to us. Hold up. Maybe I can't do anything to melt their ice-cold hearts, but I know someone who can. Me! Very much trying to follow along. Let's hold me. Lil' Brinn can win them over. Everyone loves a rambunctious six-year-old. Well... I know Cyrus told me to will myself to stay in 1989 and I've been focusing on it, but maybe if I just let go of the wheel a bit, allow myself to become untethered. Brinley, I seriously doubt we can just let go and can expect that we will... Oh, look! It's snowing outside! Um... Okay. Brinley, I... Yay! Snow day! God, I hate it when she's right. Brinley? PILOT Pilot! Head back to the airstrip and have them ready the jet. We're returning to Alaska. Hello? Pilot! Attention, passengers. The pilot can't hear you right now. He's a little... unconscious. Item? What did you do to him? Um, I knocked him unconscious. Gavir, step by the way, you don't want to trip over the poor guy. I'm getting out of here. Do it! But not to worry. We're gonna have a great flight. No! Can I ask, holiday? What were you and Jude talking about? He made a pitch that we should work together. To do what? Stand up to Adam, I guess. Maybe even bring everybody home from the past. Oh, well, there he goes. Good riddance, I say. We don't need him to fix this. Um, guys? What? The helicopter. Doesn't it seem like it's flying kind of erratic? And it's heading out over the water. Who's piloting that thing? Hubby! Come to me. I need you. Adam! Where are you flying us? We're bumpy up here. Not to worry, I'll get the hang of it. Adam, please! I know you had your issues with Dr. Whittier, but you, I only know who I am in this moment. And in this moment, you and I, we're partners. You've been lying to me since the moment we met. I was just being guarded, as anyone would be. It's hard to know who to trust. Oh, no, I totally agree. All kinds of stakes out there. The kind of people who would lure you in just to strike. Adam, please! Hey, check out that water down there. It's pretty dark, right? Shall we get a closer look? What do you need? A long time ago, Dr. Whittier dropped me into the middle of the ocean and left me for dead. Maybe you'd like to see what that feels like. Stop! Stay away! Don't let go of the controls! It's okay. I've stabilized the chopper. That way, I can escort you to the door to make sure you get a real nice view of the deep, black sea. Ugh! Wait! Wait! Wait! Don't do this! Did anything happen to me? Nope. Never get built! You won't exist! Huh! You never thought of that! Exactly! I understand your anger, but is it worth wiping yourself straight out of existence? Now that's a conundrum! I guess I'll take my chances! It's starting. GZM Shows Imagination Amplified Every week, we bring on two grown-ups. One is an expert and the other is a liar. And it's the job of a human child to help us figure out who is who because no one can spot a liar better than a kid. We've had past experts share fascinating facts about volcanoes, sharks, pizza... And more! And we've had some no-good liars trying to trick us with lies about YouTube, Roblox, and even underwear. Lying about underwear! Listen to the Big Fib on Apple Podcasts or on GZM Shows.com and see if you can figure out who's telling the truth and who's telling Big Fibs. I mean, who lies about underwear?
