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.

[B]

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. Cyrus. It's really you.

[C]

Brynlee. You're you. I can't believe I found you.

[B]

Wait, what did you say?

[C]

I found you.

[B]

Well, I mean, technically I found you.

[C]

Brinley, come on.

[B]

I came all the way from Germany to track you down. All you had to do was hop on an elevator.

[C]

Hey, don't act like I didn't travel from Germany too.

[B]

Yeah, because you were me kidding.

[C]

Because I sacrificed myself to protect you.

[B]

You're such a.

[C]

That didn't take long, did it?

[B]

Right back at it.

[C]

Old habits. I'm just glad I found we found each other.

[B]

Same.

[C]

And no offense, but thank goodness it's you and not six year old you.

[B]

Oh, you meant my mini me.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

You gotta admit, I was cute.

[C]

Considering I was temporarily blinded for most of it, I'm probably not the best person to ask.

[B]

Blinded how?

[C]

Me and a toxic chemical straight to the face.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. Really?

[C]

It's not funny.

[B]

No, I know.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

No, but seriously, Cyrus, what's happening to me? What happens if next time I disappear, I Don't come back.

[D]

Dr. Purcell, please.

[B]

Monica.

[D]

Monica, would you excuse us for a moment? I'd like to speak with Katie alone.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

I'll see if I can find Cyrus.

[B]

And get my lab set up.

[D]

Thank you. I'll meet up with you soon. I look forward to working with you.

[B]

You have no idea what it means for me to be here, Dr. Whittier. Take care, Katie. You too, Doctor.

[D]

Katie. I trust you've recovered from your health crisis.

[B]

Yes, much better, thanks.

[D]

The way I heard, it was quite serious. Yet here you stand the picture of health.

[B]

False alarm, I guess.

[D]

False alarm, indeed. You were creating a distraction to enable Brinley to search for Cyrus.

[B]

Brinley and Cyrus are your concern, not mine.

[D]

What is your concern, Katie?

[B]

I just want to find my parents and get back to the life I used to have.

[D]

I'd be happy to help you with that. But I need some help, too, with my daughter, Adelaide.

[B]

Not sure how I can help.

[D]

Perhaps not, but there's plenty Cyrus and Brinley can do.

[B]

Let me guess. You want me to bring Brinley to you.

[D]

That would be ideal.

[B]

And if I do, we call it even? I can just walk out of here and go live my life, never to be bothered again.

[D]

Sounds like a fair trade to me. Once you deliver Brinley to me, you're free to go.

[B]

If you're really serious, Doc, I'll do it.

[C]

Okay. Thanks. Over.

[B]

Cyrus? What were you doing on that walkie talkie?

[C]

I'll explain in a bit. Tell me about that call on the time phone.

[B]

Like I said, I lost the connection. I was talking to Holiday.

[C]

You talked to Holiday? How did she sound?

[B]

Good, I guess. That's not really the point here.

[C]

I know. I just miss my sisters.

[B]

Right. Sorry. Of course you do.

[C]

Anyway, you being so close to that phone when it exploded must have bombarded you with energy, somehow unsticking you in time. Unsticking, for lack of a better word. Basically, you've become untethered to any particular timeline.

[B]

So now I'm just bouncing around all willy nilly?

[C]

Seems that way. And I have a feeling it's gonna keep happening until we figure out a way to anchor you.

[B]

Oui? Just hearing that word makes me feel better.

[C]

Me too.

[B]

So where do we start?

[C]

I'll get to work on it right away. But it's not safe for you here at Whittier Corp. I don't trust Dr. Whittier.

[B]

Where else would I go?

[C]

Somewhere more controlled, where Lil Brin can't cause too much trouble.

[B]

But I don't Want to leave you again.

[C]

Nobody's leaving anyone. We're both here in Juno. We're working together.

[B]

I feel safe at my house. I'm pretty sure my dad's already working the pipeline. The cabin was empty.

[C]

Perfect.

[B]

So many flights of stairs. Hey. What happened? Where have you been? I got the time phone back, but Whittier is going to figure it out and come after us any minute. We have to get out of here now. But we're on the roof. How can we possibly helicopter child catchers? Attention, time travelers. Anybody need a ride? Is that dad? Mr. A, where did you come from? I fixed up a Weedinger Corp chopper that went into the lake. Come on, guys, get in.

[C]

I have to stay behind with Mom. Can you take Brinley and Katie to Mr. Pasternak's cabin?

[B]

I'll do that live aboard. Girls, wait. I want to say goodbye. I'm not sticking around for that bush. Got any barf bags in this thing, Cyrus?

[C]

This isn't goodbye, Brinley. Not this time. It's see you soon, yada, yada.

[B]

Whatever. It stinks. We just found each other.

[C]

I know, but if you think about it.

[B]

Can you just shut up and kiss me.

[D]

Soon?

[B]

It better be coming, Mr. A. Brinley.

[C]

Will yourself to stay here in 1989. Keep both hands on the wheel as tightly as you can and don't let go.

[B]

Both hands on the wheel. Don't let go. Okay.

[C]

Don't let go.

[A]

Welp.

[B]

I looked all over River's room. Nothing stood out to me. You guys have any luck? No clues in Sam's stuff either. How about you, Badger? Nada. So somehow river and Sam managed to get their hands on a hoverboard, but left behind.

[C]

No.

[B]

No evidence as to where they went. I mean, their cell phones are still here, but I'm pretty sure they left them on purpose just so that we wouldn't be able to track them.

[C]

We could look through them for clues.

[B]

They're password protected. Oh, no. What shall we do?

[A]

Right.

[B]

Hack away. Start with Rivers phone.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

He's the sneaky one. Easy peasy. Van Halen wallpaper that never changed. Aw, look. A selfie of Sam and him. They really are cute together. Scroll through his call log.

[C]

Hmm.

[A]

Me.

[C]

You.

[B]

Here's a number I don't recognize. Call it.

[C]

Put it on speaker. Hey, this is Adam.

[A]

If you're hearing this, it means I.

[C]

Saw your name and I'm a voice.

[B]

Adam.

[C]

You can leave a message anyway.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Why would river call Adam?

[B]

Not for anything. Good. He has to be the one who sent them the hoverboard? Does that mean they're with him now? And where did they go?

[C]

What's that?

[B]

The time phone. Someone's calling. Answer. Answer. Hello? Holiday, is that you? Dad? Dad, is it really you?

[C]

It's really me.

[A]

Bird.

[C]

Jimmy, Badge.

[B]

Is everybody okay?

[A]

We're good.

[B]

Except we. We need to have a talk about what you were like as a teenager. Cause let's just say some of your rules are starting to feel quite hypocritical. But we can. We can talk about that later. Good idea. Right now, we need Dad's help.

[C]

What can I do?

[B]

Holiday, we need you to help us find you.

[C]

Mom.

[A]

Cyrus. Sweetheart, you made it.

[B]

Where's Brinley?

[C]

With dad and Katie. He's taking them somewhere safe.

[B]

Good. Then let's get angel in here. It's time we start turning you into a wick kid.

[A]

Hey. Now that you've listened to this week's episodes, head on over to the GZM rewind feed to hear me and the creators talk with special guests, including cast members and super fans.

[C]

Shh.
