Six minutes is supported by quints. Guess what I'm doing right now? If you said recording an ad while snuggling with a giant duvet cause it's chilly this morning, then you win. I love being cozy. That's why this holiday season, I'm giving family and friends the gift of cozy luxury with quince impossibly soft, crafted to last, and made from premium materials like European flax linen and organic cotton. Quince bedding, especially their blankets, are the kind of gifts people will love and remember you for. Quince's quilts, comforters, and even duvet inserts bring real warmth and texture. No joke. I love my quince duvet cover. When it's hard to get out of bed in the mornings, I just bring the bed with me to my desk where I work. I love being cozy when I work or watch movies or just anytime, really. That's why I love the blankets and bedding I got from Quince. Give a gift they'll actually use and love with quince.

Casey, close the portal. Who can stop this? No one could stop it now. This is happening. Brinley, come with me. Our destiny awaits. Hey. You handcuffed yourself to me. We are already connected in every way. But I can't risk you fleeing. You're sick. No, Brinley, I'm desperate. Because things have to be put right before it's too late. Too late for what? I'll explain everything once we get there. Pen, open the portal wider, please. Casey, More energy. If you'd be so kind. The door. It opens. The door closes. Power. They're fighting you, aren't they? It doesn't matter. Opens. The portal is almost all the way open. Let her go. Jude. Cyrus. You're alive. Just barely. Sorry to disappoint you, Jude. I don't really care. Because soon we'll be gone. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Brinley, give me your Cyrus. Pull her off. Half. Use your muscles. Monica. Look. Casey and Pen are attached to that device on the stage. I need to get this antidote to them before it's too late. Come on. This way. While Cyrus is keeping Jude busy, I just hope we can. Well, lookie, lookie who's here. Adam. Dr. Anders. Jimmy. What's shaking, bacon? Listen, Bruce. Adam. Adam. This has nothing to do with you. We just want to save Brinley. And I sympathize. Believe me. I do. The thing is, I don't care. Jude has made me promises, but I have to help him go through that portal thing with Brinley, and that's how it's gonna happen. So if you want to try to get to Casey and her little pal over there, you're gonna have to go through me. Psst. Katie. Mila, where are you? I'm right next to you here. Oh, I can feel your hand. Yeah, and you're free. Listen, Adam is distracted. Here's your chance to get what you want. Really? You mean go for the portal? And if anyone gets in your way, I'll do what I can to stop them. Mila. It's the least I can do. Okay. I hope it works out for you. You deserve to be happy. So do you. Listen, Mila, I want to say it's okay. I know. Go, girl. Friendly. I'm not letting you go. Your hand is slipping, Cyrus. You know it as well as I do. You couldn't hold onto her before, and you still can't because she doesn't belong with you. She belongs with me. Cyrus, I'm sorry for everything. I know. You know? You mean you're sorry, too? What? You're supposed to say you're sorry, too. For what? Oh, forget it. This is just perfect. A perfect goodbye as I'm whisked into a time portal. Brinley, it's not goodbye. It's not. I'll find you. Wherever you are, I will find you. Time to go. Out of my way, Alaska. Casey, what are you doing? Going back to where I belong. Be nice to your mother. No. Stop. Mr. Board. Take us down near the beach by the school. You think my parents and S Are okay? They know what they're doing. They had to deliver the antidote to that Pen kid. I hated leaving them again. I know. But someone had to stay here in case something went wrong with that portal thing. Look, the students are piling out. Drop me off at the beach. I'll help them load onto boats. What was that? Some kind of electric energy burst from inside the school. Badger. Is it me or. Or is the island sinking? The whole thing is sinking into the sea. We've got to get everybody out of there now. Oh. Dad. Sigh. Where are you? What was that? The portal. What is Jude doing? Come on. Monica. Casey went through the portal. This wasn't supposed to happen. It's unstable now. You think the whole place is coming down? Anderson. I put in an SOS on the network. I hope it worked. Cam, is that you? What are you doing here? I have to go. Cyrus. Mom? Dad. Cyrus. Brinley. Dude, pull this off. Let us get to Pen and Casey before it's too late for everyone. Never. Adam, keep them away. You sure about this? Yes. Do it. The time is now. Brinley. Brinley. Don't let go of my hand. I'm trying. I'm trying. Let her go. Cyrus. You've lost. You're lost. Cyrus. Anders doesn't give up. Cyborg. What? How are you flying again? Cyrus fixed me back up. Oh, and he also installed this. Is that a laser in your arm? Hold up your hand. I'll cut you loose. No. No. Stop. Yes. I'm free. Brindley. No. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Cyrus. Brinley, Watch out. I think something is coming through the port. What? What is this? Mom, is that you? Cadence. Brinley. This wasn't supposed to happen. I'm getting you somewhere safe. Jude. Time to move to plan B. No. Adam, wait. Brinley. Come on. Brinley. Brinley, please. What is that roar? Monica, look at Pen. The do. Ah. It opens, it closes. Like he's one giant ball of energy. We're being sucked through. The island. It's gone. My family. We'll find them, bro. But what if they're. They're not. They can't be. Look down there. Hatchard, There are kids in the water. We have to save them. Drop me in. There's so many of them. And it's a long way to the mainland. I'm not sure we can get them all. Wait, is that Javi, too? Did somebody call for backup? Holiday. It's you. You're really here. Hey, bird badge. I'm really here. And just in time. Looks like you could use some Holiday. How did you know to come here? I happened to be in Central America when one of the cams sent an emergency beacon from here. Cam? I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Guys. You were on a mission. I was. But then a few months ago, something happened. I woke up from my 6 minute reboot and it was like there was a block inside me. It wouldn't let me come home. Block? You Mean, like, in your programming? I don't know, but I think someone was trying to keep me away. Someone hacked your programming? Just like Adam. Adam? I'm getting the feeling I missed a lot while I was gone. You could say that. Where are mom and dad and Cyrus? They were inside the school trying to help Britney. There's some kind of portal. And we'll find them. But right now, we have some kids to save. Ready? Holiday ready. Come on, hubby. We've got work to do. Kids in the water. Guess this is where it starts again. Up here. Hey, down there. Okay, Jude, I got you. Back to Juno. Now are we going to talk about our plans? Let's go inside. Lead the way. Welcome to Whittier Corp, where the future is happening today. We won't be needing that anymore. Ivan? Are you here? I'm here, sir. Sir? Excellent. Can you switch up the greeting, please? Password, cookies and cream. Access granted. Recording. Welcome to whittiercore, where the Future Is Now. Playing Back welcome to whittiercore, where the future is Now. How'd you do that? An old friend gave me the override code. Why don't you head to the CEO's office and I'll meet you there? Sure thing. I'll just make myself at home. Ivan. Yes, sir. We have a bit of work ahead of us. This is not where I expected to end up. But I can still accomplish what I set out to do. I just need to find Brinley, Pasternak, wherever she is. I'll see what I can do. Welcome home, Dr. Whittier. Where am I? Why is my brain so fuzzy? Ew. Is that a puddle of. I don't even want to know what that's a puddle of. What am I doing in this alley? Ew. Ew. Ew. What's going on out there? Hey. Hey. What's going on? What is this? What's happening? My name is. I don't rem. Where am I? Who am I? Are they speaking German? Take my hand. What? Who said that? I'm right here. Grab my hand. Do I know you? Long story. Do you want to get through this crowd or not? Okay. Okay. What is all this? Some kind of party? They're tearing down the Wall. The wall? What wall? The Berlin Wall. Ever heard of it? But the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989. Saying we're in 1989. Welcome to my world. Literally, The zombies. Hello? It's me, Saibot. Well, that was certainly a cliffhanger, wasn't it?
