They fell through a portal and got lost in the 80s, and now their time is running. What? What do you mean? Cadence just brought Brinley home. She's. She's not your kid now, Like I said, that little girl is my. Our child 100%. But no, she's not biologically ours. And she. And she doesn't ever need to know that. Okay? Can I. Can you. How did Caden. I mean, where did she. Let me help you out there. You want to know how Brinley ended up our daughter? Yes, sir. Please. Cadence traveled for work a lot. And one day, she came home with the most beautiful baby I'd ever seen. Said it was up to us to protect her. And that's all I needed to know. You never asked her where the baby came from or who she was? I knew better than to ask Cadence questions. Not about work, at least I don't have a place of business listed for your wife. Can't help you there. She only told me she was employed by a multinational biotech company. Whittier Corp. Oh, heck no. One thing I can say for sure is Cadence would never work for them. She didn't trust JP Whittier further Than she could throw a moose. She said that? She was pretty obsessed with that place, to be honest. Obsessed with Whittier Corp. Joe. When she brought Brinley home. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You okay there? No. What? Joe, listen. Joe, what's happening? Are you okay? What makes this. Joe? Joe, are you there? Over here. I found. Wait. Joe, before you say anything. Katie, is that you? Oh, it's you. Who else would it be? Oh, we're hugging now. Please, just hug me back. Oh. Oh, yeah. All right. Are you okay? I'm not sure. Everybody good? Great. Peachy. Then let the transfusion begin. So that concert in Germany was really something. How did it feel to be on stage in front of so many people? That's what you want to talk about? Right now, she's trying to take my mind off that enormous needle. Old pediatrician trick. Chat him up. Watch who you're calling old. Besides, it works. You're scared of needles. Cyrus. No, was. Was scared of needles. Holy moly, that's big. But it's fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine. Nothing to worry about. Cyrus, may I remind you that I am a human pincushion. Who's comparing? So what? I may have been a bit of. Well, a scaredy cat, a cautious kid. But I've changed over the years. It's true. You used to be afraid of heights, too. Still don't love them. But you fly helicopters. And crash them and repel from them. See growth. It's pretty impressive. And you're all set. Really? That's it? Not so bad. Let me take some vitals. I probably should have asked this before we started, but what should I expect? A third eye? Wings that come out of your nose? I mean, will I feel something if the Gena serum starts to work? From what I know, sometimes you get a little lightheaded. Things go fuzzy when the serum activates. Birdie didn't even know she'd been injected until the water triggered a response. Someone's at the door. Ivan, open, please. Quick. We need to disconnect the transfusion. I thought I heard someone in here. It looks like my invitation to this little party got lost. Dr. Whittier, hello. We were just discussing. Progress. Yes, I was asking Dr. Purcell if she thought we were making any. Doctor, do you think it's working? Was the test completed? I don't know. Sit by the fireplace. I'll grab some blankets and dry clothes for everyone. Thank you, Joe. Don't want to be explaining three hypothermia advies to the police, right? Very Kind of you. Brinley. You're not saying anything. Yeah, it's nerve wracking. You're never not speaking. You guys are all snowy. Wonder how that happened. Did he see little Brinley? No, thankfully. Do you know how much trouble we could get into from you letting go of your tether to the present? I know what you were trying to do, but what if you didn't get back? Not to mention little Brinley nearly got us lost in a blizzard. You and Jo? If the idea was that we'd go searching for you and fall in love. Spoiler alert. Ew. Wait, so nothing? Really? Not even like a beast to Bell look. I mean, I guess he's cute in a mangy old mutt living in the woods kind of way. Brinley, Katie and Joe are no closer to being together. But you didn't cease to exist. No disappearing hand or anything. Maybe time travel doesn't work the way you think it does, McFly. That's not why it didn't disappear. What do you mean? Jo isn't. You aren't. Hey, look, it's just us. We've got you no matter what. Joe is not my birth father. And Katie, you. You're not my mother. Not biologically. I'm not your mom. Jo. Future Jo told me that one day Cadence just brought home a baby. Brought home. I am not your mom. Hang on. Cadance loved Brynlee. She raised her until she couldn't. And Jo. Jo loves you so much. Brynlee, they are your parents. Of course. I just. It's just. It's a lot. But don't ever doubt that they loved you. I know. I honestly don't know how to feel same. I mean, when I first found out you were my mom, I wouldn't have done anything to change it. Absolutely anything. But now it just feels sad. Dr. Purcell. Cyrus. What exactly are we checking on? The progress of plasma isolation. I see. Dr. Purcell was saying she thinks she made progress in isolating what is special about Angel's blood. Is that so? Well, possibly. As I said to Cyrus, I'm starting to find interesting variances. Well, I'd love to take a look. Oh, sure. Yes. Excuse me, Dr. Purcell, you have a phone call. Thank you, Ivan. I'll take it in the office next door in a minute. Cyrus, could I have a moment? Dr. Whittier, I wanted to talk to you about this new idea I had for the nursery. Sigh. We don't know if the Jenna serum is doing its thing inside you, but if it is, you have to stay calm. Try not to be in any extreme situations. Like being stuck at Whittier Corp 1989 while my mom is trying to fix the future. Just remain even keeled. Don't want you shooting lasers out of your eyes or something. Wait, is that, like, a possibility? Stay calm. Maybe sing to yourself or something. I need to grab this call before Dr. Whittier gets more suspicious. I think something. Be right back. You better hope this works, Monica. Hello, this is Dr. Purcell. And this is your husband, Mr. Anders. James. Oh, I'm so glad to hear your voice. I wasn't sure if I could reach you. 80s Ivan is a doozy. Yeah, turns out he's a giant robot. Yikes. Are you with Si? How is he? He's. He's okay. And hopefully keeping calm. Angel, would you excuse me and Cyrus while we talk shop a bit? I would want to bore you. Uh, sure. I'm gonna go grab something to eat. The guard outside will escort you to the cafeteria. Great. Bye, Cyrus. Angel. What was that about? I'm sorry? Why was Dr. Purcell infusing you with Angel's blood? It's. It's not what you think. I would be careful of what lies you're about to tell, Mr. Athens. Your whole lies. Because I have all the time and tools to get to the truth. Stay calm. Stay calm.
