This show is brought to you by Acorns Early. So, true story. When I was a kid, the very first thing I saved up for was a Build a Bear. Seriously, I'd stash away my allowance week after week until I finally had the $25 I needed. Then I'd get one and immediately start the countdown all over again for the next Build a Bear. The thing is, I wasn't really learning much about money back then. Except maybe how shockingly fast I could spend it on Build a Bears. Yikes.

Stay tuned to the end of this episode for more details. There are kids in this world who are different, special. They fell through a portal and lost in the 80s, and now their time is running out. Stay in the moment. Okay, let's just clear off these chopper blades. On it, Mr. A. I'm pretty much an expert snow clearer. Dad had me doing it when I was three. Of course he did. You think it's safe to fly in this weather? The wind could make for a bumpy ride, but we should be okay. How you feeling about things? You mean the flight or my personal ERAS tour? That's a Taylor Swift reference, right? Yes. She revisits all the different time periods in her life and. You get the idea. I do. And as much as I love your 6 year old self, I'm not sure she'd make the best sidekick on a rescue mission. Don't worry. This time I'm gonna do all I can to stay present in this decade. Given the goal of saving Cyrus, it shouldn't be too hard. I'll try to remind you of that. If I sense I'm losing you, you'd better. What are you guys doing out here? Wait, why is Mr. Anders getting in the helicopter? He's readying it to fly. We have to rescue Cyrus and Dr. Anders from Whittier Corp. Sounds like things are getting sketchy there. Of course they are. Okay, we'd better go. You don't have to come with us, Katie. Especially not after what we just found out. 1989 is your time period, and you need to get back to your original life. You don't owe me anything. Yeah, about that. While I maintain with every ounce of my being that I am not your mother, it does sound like the adult version of me was all in. At least until she was ripped away. Having met you as a child, it's a little hard to understand why, but maybe that's just more proof that her love for you ran deep. Wait, what you just said, it sounded nice. As much as I've tried to distance myself from you in multiple decades, I might add, I can't deny that we do have a connection. You are being nice. Yes. You goof. I know I said we're just a couple of girls who fell into a couple of portals, but we're a lot more than that, Brinley. We're in this together. And. And I'm glad you came into my life. You really mean it? I do, yes. Because I totally feel the same. Yeah. Yeah. We're good to go, ladies. Woo. Hang on. Here comes Joe. You all finally taken off? Throw a party, Joe. Your dreams have come true. Hold up. I may have spoken too soon. Nah, that just sounds like a nasty carburetor. Let me take a look. Oh, you sure? Yeah, I'm on it. All right. He's on it. Oh, yeah. You're all set. Fly safe. Oh, wow. That was fast. Joe, you're a genius. Told ya. How did you know what to do? I know all sorts of things. Would have told you if you asked. Well, I think you're amazing. Thank you so much. This has been a real learning experience. Sure thing. Yeah. Thanks. You talking to me? Uh huh. For fixing the chopper and letting us ride out the storm at your place. Sorry I broke your stuff. It's fine. It was old anyway. And you're welcome. Cadence really wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. Nice to have company for once. Good. Be safe. Bye. Bye, Joe. Appreciate you. Maybe I'll see y' all again one day. Maybe. Adelaide, honey, can you hear me? It's Dr. And Dr. Purcell. I need you to fight. Sweetie, I know you're tired, but you have to find it inside you. Don't give up. I can see why your father would go to such lengths to save you. Why he created my holiday. Because you're a special girl. I wish I could do more to help you. To make things right. But Cyrus and I, we have to get out of here. We have to get home. Guards. No. Did Dr. Whittier send you? Dr. Purcell, we need you to come with us. No. I can't leave this child. What are you doing? Let me go. Hey. Stop. Adelaide, come on. There has to be a way out of this nursery. A loose ceiling tile or some kind of trapdoor or something. Maybe. Alright, focus, Cyrus. You can't let yourself get too worked up. No telling what might activate that Gen A serum or what sort of superpower I might wind up with now that it's inside me. Gotta admit, superhuman strength would be cool, but. But no. No, time portal opener would be much more practical. Cyrus. Cyrus Andrews, come with us. Mom, what's going on? I don't know. They just burst into the lab and grabbed me. They left Adelaide lying there unattended. Get your hands off of me. Leave him alone. Let me go. Cyrus. Don't fight them too hard. Just hurry up, fellas. I need you to get them to the roof, pronto. Angel, you're controlling them. I got in touch with Mr. Anders. He's on his way to rescue you guys. But you have to get to the roof. Wow, angel, you're risking everything to try and save us. Pretty heroic, right? So go get saved already. Thank you. Thank you so much. The helicopter sounds like it's running okay. That it does. Crazy that Joe knew how to fix it. He's a capable guy. And you're a great co pilot, Katie. Thanks, Mr. Anders. How are you doing back there in the jump seat, Brinley? I'm good. Just keeping an eye out for Cyrus and Dr. A as we get near the Whittier Corp. Roof. I'm not sure what kind of landing I'm gonna be able to make down there, so I need you to be ready for anything, kiddo. I've got a rope and harness ready just in case. Kind of reminds me of Simon Andre's concert entrance, but in reverse. I am feeling a little like an 80s action star attempting this rooftop helicopter rescue. Really? All that's missing is some aviator glasses and some mood music. Come on, guys. Keep going. At the end of the hallway, there are stairs up to the roof. And you're sure my dad will be waiting for us when we get up there? I hope so. Me too. Hello, Cyrus, Monica, Dr. Whittier. Hello, Cyrus, Anders, Ivan. Let's not do any more lifting, okay? We don't have to make this confrontational as you literally block our pathway with a giant robot programmed to do whatever you tell it. I only want you two to live up to the deal we struck. You help me save my daughter, and I'll help you get home. I'm sorry, Dr. Whittier, but there are some things you just can't change. Nonsense. There's always a way. You never were able to accept that you can't control everyone and everything in this world. Why does everyone say that? Who's everyone? My beloved Guinevere used to tell me that before she disappeared. Did you say Guinevere? As in Fontaine, the founder of Elixir Academy? She's your beloved. Enough questions. Ivan, take them back to the lab. No. I won't let you. Angel. Listen up. Everyone in this building, I need you to come to me now. Angel, what are you doing? You hear my voice in your head. Come to the top floor. No. Angel, stop. Stop this right now. Stop it. Angel, don't do this. As soon as possible. Where did all these. Where did all these people come from? Where are your court employees? All of them. Don't let the old man or the blowpaw get away. Get off me, Ivan. I trapped you, sir. Go on, guys. I've got this covered. Angel, how can we ever thank you? You don't need to, Dr. Anders. But I do. I promise to help you, and. And you have. I asked you to change me and you did. Now go. See you in another life, I hope. Thanks, Angel. You're the best. Come on, Mom. Here's the door to the stairwell. Hurry. Cyrus, wait. Mom, why are you stopping? I have to go back for my research and equipment in the lab. What? There's no time. It may be our only chance at getting home. Don't worry. I know how to get around the secret hallways. I'll meet you out back in the field behind the loading dock. This is crazy. Can't you leave the research behind? No. Go to your father. I'll get out safely, I promise. Give me a hug. See you soon. Please be safe. Angel, order these people to back off. I can't do that, sir. Then you've left me no choice. What's that in your hand? I can't trust you anymore. You have too much power. Is that a syringe? Get it away from me. Sorry. What have you done? What did you inject into me? The antidote. No. There it is. Dad. Down here. Dad. Unauthorized helicopter detected. Unauthorized helicopter detected. Initiating the building's electromagnetic defense mechanism in three. Wait. No. One. What's that? It's like a blast of energy. Look out, Mr. A. I'm trying to avoid it. Whoa. Arena Real live helicopter. Oh, no. Brinley's little again. This surge is getting hard to fight. Hold on, Brinley. Get away from the door. Whoa. Hey.
