Oh. You okay down there? That wasn't a very graceful guy. Please have been alive preserver I stole. Dad. Help. Please, someone help. Anyone? Duke. Duke. Right above you tummy. Just sitting on the hover. Aboard all the way. Help. Guess you were right. Adam wanted you dead. Please help me. I won't last much longer. I'd be glad to drop my sister in to rescue you.

But you have to agree to help us bring our family back from 1989. Of course. And give witty or force back to us. What the. Or we're happy to turn around and leave you. Fine, fine. Yes, yes. It's all yours. Just please help me. That's your Hubert. Okey dokey. Cannonball. Here, give me your hand. Thank you. Thank you. Pleasure doing business with you. Okay, just gonna put this Rubber band around your arm, like so. You sure you're okay with this? Sai? My first Gen A serum treatment. Kind of exciting. Angel will be joining us as soon as she can get away from Dr. Whittier. Mom, can we talk about your plan to fix history? You've been thinking about that, huh? Just a bit. Can I ask exactly what you have in mind? Well, I'm not talking about fixing the big stuff, of course. World politics, natural disasters, acid washed genes. Too many variables. And the last thing I want is to make everything worse. Glad to hear that. But on a smaller scale, if I have the power to revisit some of my own bad choices, maybe I can make it better. And maybe help angel in the process. Keep Angelica Graves from breaking Bad. And stop Whittier Corp. From developing Gen A serum while we're at it. Except you're about to create the serum as we speak. Once you get the ability to open a portal, I'm going to get angel out of here and destroy the serum and all of the research. Sounds simple. I need to know that you want to do this. It's not without risk. Honestly, mom, it doesn't matter what I want. We have no choice. We have to get back home where we belong and keep focusing on that. Okay? It's your desire to get home that is going to direct the Gen A serum in your body. Somebody order mutant blood? Angel. You made it. Thanks for agreeing to this. Thank you both for trusting me. Especially given our history. Or future history. You bet. So, mom or Dr. Purcell, shall we? Okay, you two, let's get Brinley. Brinley? Where'd you go? I can't believe she did this. What do you mean did this? It's not like Brinley controls when she switches places with her six year old self. Well, what are you saying? Before she switched, she said she was taking her hands off the wheel. What? Why would she do that? She thought it might help you and me. And what? Did you find her? Oh, you're kidding. Why are you looking at me like that? Where did Birdie go? Birdie? We're not sure. Joe, are there any shelters in these woods you might know of? Somewhere Birdie might go to hide? Well, she's not from around here. How would she even know to look for one? Would it kill you to try to be helpful? What kills me is you all just showing up on my doorstep, making yourselves at home, breaking my things, and then expecting me to find your ditzy friend who was fool enough to wander into the woods during a blizzard. She's not ditzy. She's actually super brainy, for your information. Brainy, Right. She's quite bright, Joe. She's just not herself right now. Why are you so judgy? That's rich coming from you. Hey, guys, can we shelve the bickering for the time being? A girl is missing. Listen, why don't you two keep calling her name, and I'll go do some serious searching in the forest. Hang on, Joe. Perfect. Bye. I should just let the ball freeze. Take your time. He is so annoying. Yeah, but I mean. You two, stop right there. Don't say it. Don't even think it. Did you hear that? It sounded like laughing. Bratty laughing. Brinley. You can't catch me. Brinley, sweetheart, come out where we can see you. No, it's not safe out here. So? Brinley, knock it off. This isn't a game. Come on, kiddo. We have hot cocoa waiting in the cabin. I don't want any. There she is. Up in the tree. How did she get up there? Uh oh. This tree has a lot of snow on it. No. Shake that tree, Bryn. You're gonna make it fall on earth. It went down my back. Where is the real Brinley? See ya when want to be. Well, here I am, back at the cabin. Home sweet home. Who knows what year? Hello? Hi, D. Mr. Pastak? Yeah. The police officer assigned to investigate Cadence's disposal appearance. Right. That's me. Oh, I haven't seen you in a while. Afraid I haven't heard from my wife in months either. I'm so sorry. Yeah, me too. You want to come inside? Can I get you a cup of coffee? Sure. Thanks. Your house is a lot neater than the last time I was here. Yeah, I guess you could say I've got my act together. Brenny helps. She's growing up fast. Too fast. You have no idea. So, you got any news for me? Well, we're still following up on some leads. But I do have some more questions, if that's okay. Sure. Have a seat. Can you tell me about your relationship with Cadence? What do you want to know? Did you two get along? Well, they say opposites attract, right? She always said it was fitting that I worked on the pipeline since we were like oil and water, fire. But it worked for us. You really were in love. Oh, we sure were. She wasn't like anyone I'd ever met. Funny, beautiful, and so smart. Oh, I could just listen to her talk all day long. She sounds like a special person. Yeah. Yeah. So which one of you does your daughter take after most? I mean, you said Brinley is really smart and into science. Did she inherit that from Cadence? Well, not exactly. Brinny was just sorta came to us that way. You mean she was born a genius? Maybe. Look, in the spirit of honesty, you should probably know. Cadence and I are Brittany's mom and dad in every sense of the word. But she isn't our biological child. Wait, you're saying I. She was adopted? Well, look, I'd appreciate it if we could keep this between us. And I. And I hope I'm not getting Cadence in trouble, but one day, she just brought a baby home. My little girl. My Brenny. Oh.
