How do you know the name "Rittenhouse"?

How do you think I met your father?

It's in your blood.

They're not trying to kill her. He was trying to recruit her.

I'm ready.

I was told if she disrupted the mission,

you wouldn't be impartial enough to make the decision.

Mom, be on the right side of history. Mom!

Nicholas Keynes.

That's the soldier that they saved and brought back to the present.

This manifesto. Nicholas Keynes wrote it.

You're with Rittenhouse.

And who are you?

I'm your granddaughter.

- I didn't know you were married. - Jessica died.

Does that mean that you have to live the rest of your life

without anyone else?

Maybe I do need to be open to possibilities.

Jessica?

My God.

Alice Parker.

The Colony of Massachusetts Bay has found you guilty of witchcraft.

What say you?

They have found wrong. I am no witch!

Then you will meet the same fate

as the seven who came before you this afternoon.

No! I am not guilty of the charge!

You will be hanged from the neck until dead.

But I am not guilty of the charge!

Can you not learn silence, woman?

Look where your untamed mouth has landed you.

Judge, I beg you!

Move along, Alice. It is time.

Alice Parker, the conclusion of your life

will bring justice to the good people of Salem.

Now, depart from this world.

Depart from this world, and trouble us no further!

Hang her now!

It's you. What are you doing here?

Mark, where the hell were you? Happy hour is about to start.

Sorry, Jess.

Jess, how are you?

And bring me two more cases of IPA, 'cause I ordered four.

When is your shift over? Can we have dinner?

You ignore my texts for two months, and now you wanna have dinner?

Two months?

Where did they send you this time? The Moon?

- Who? - The Army.

Unless you've been with someone else these past eight weeks,

while I've been working doubles.

I came here as soon as I got your text.

Well, I'm a little busy right now. So, we're going to have to do this later.

Where are you staying?

Where am I staying?

I'll be right with you, Gary. Yeah.

I'll send you the address.

Okay, I'll come by after work.

Trousers?

Excuse me?

When did women begin dressing like men?

About 1922.

Couple of years after we rescued you from that battlefield.

You're going to damage your ears. The shelling in the Great War has already seen to that.

"World War I," I mean.

Fast learner. Runs in the family.

I dislike that exertion machine.

Yes, but we now know that exercise is vital to our health,

and will help you recover from the surgery.

Consider it gone.

Have you been catching up on the reading?

Everything you prepared for me,

the history books, family records, our enemies.

- This Garcia Flynn... - He's locked up. Thanks to Lucy.

Right. What I'm about to suggest won't be easy to hear.

Something must be done about Lucy.

Nicholas, Lucy is your great-granddaughter.

Emma filled me in on her exploits. It's quite troubling.

- Lucy is misguided. - She's a bad seed.

- You know... - Lucy had an opportunity to join us.

But she refused, and she's hampered our efforts.

- If you can't take care of her... - No, I can handle my own daughter.

Bully. Now, go earn your stripes.

- God! - Sorry.

- Sorry. I blast the volume. - I got to tell you something.

But you have to promise to stay calm.

What are you talking about? What's wrong?

Promise you're not going to panic.

Okay, now, there is zero percent chance of that happening,

- so, why don't you just tell me? - Okay, right.

Something happened to my head in the Lifeboat,

but I'm okay, I'm totally fine.

But the seizures are more than seizures.

They're premonitions.

Of the future.

And lately, they've been of your future.

Look, don't worry. I have a confession.

I see dead people.

What? You're serious?

Look, I had a vision of you with your arm hurt.

And then you came back from 1955 with your arm hurt.

That's a coincidence, okay? People hurt their arms!

I had another one. It was worse. You're going to do something bad.

Bad, like I'm gonna forget your birthday?

Or bad like I screw up the Louisiana Purchase?

The second one.

Look, Rufus, you've got to believe me, okay? These visions are real.

Look, I'm trying, but even for a time-traveling black guy,

this is a little hard to swallow.

They're real. I saw it.

You were in colonial times, I think. You're covered in blood,

and you're aiming a musket

at this Pilgrim-looking guy with a scar on his left cheek.

And he is begging for his life.

Then you kill him.

Maybe he's a bad guy.

Or maybe it's the first Thanksgiving, and I'm covered in cranberry sauce.

Right. Maybe.

The Mothership landed in Salem, Massachusetts,

- September 22, 1692. - Pilgrims?

It's the height of the witch trials.

Lucy, try Wyatt again. He needs to get the hell back here.

I keep trying. I've called him like 20 times!

- Lucy? - Where have you been?

I've been calling you for hours.

- I'm worried sick. - Lucy.

- What is going on? - Lucy. What?

Jessica is alive.

Somehow, we changed history,

and she's alive again.

That's... I don't...

- How is that possible? - I don't know. She texted me.

I step off the Lifeboat, and I get a text from my dead wife.

I don't understand.

Did we change something that brought her back?

I don't know, but she's real, Lucy.

Her hair is a little different, it's shorter, but her eyes are the same.

Last time I saw those eyes, she was dead.

But apparently, she has lived for six years

that I don't know anything about.

And I guess I wasn't a good husband, or something and...

Well, now you have time to change all that.

- Don't you? - Yeah.

Lucy...

I'm so sorry. Wyatt, I'm thrilled for you.

Yeah, but you and me...

She's your wife, and you love her.

This is everything that you've wanted. Everything that you've been hoping for.

This is a good thing.

And now that Jessica is back...

Yeah.

Why did you call?

Is everything okay?

- Did the Mothership jump? - No.

Everything is fine here. Just focus on figuring things out with Jessica.

Take whatever time you need, okay?

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Lucy?

- Wyatt's not coming. - You talked to him?

Jessica is alive.

My God!

- Jessica is... - Jessica was dead?

My God! Yeah! In our timeline, she was.

History must have changed when we were back in the past.

According to the logs, while we were in 1941,

the Mothership jumped for like an hour.

San Diego, 1980.

- What? - That must have changed history.

They were only gone for such a short trip. It doesn't make any sense, unless...

Maybe Rittenhouse found Jessica's killer and stopped the bastard.

Are you saying that Rittenhouse brought Jessica back?

But why the hell would they do that?

I don't know. Maybe to throw Wyatt off?

You know, he quits the team, starts a family.

See how well we did last time we tried to replace him.

Okay, right now, Rittenhouse is in Salem,

possibly ripping history apart, and we're short a soldier.

Wyatt is doing what he has to do, and so should we.

We can go after them with or without a soldier.

It'd be better with.

The 22nd was the deadliest day of the witch trials.

- Going to be brutal. - No way.

You stole the time machine, you killed innocent people...

And you busted me out of jail.

The NSA suspects the Iranians, and I plan on keeping it that way.

You are staying put.

Why do we have him here if we aren't going to use him?

We're using him for intel, not muscle.

Aw, come on, guys.

Fighting the good fight through time is kind of my wheelhouse.

And I know all about Salem.

Burned a couple witches in your day?

Witches weren't burned in Salem, they were hanged.

Of the accused, only those who refused to confess were executed.

And it all came to a head on the 22nd,

when the final victims were all hanged from the same tree,

one by one.

He's right. That's all true.

So, he's seen The Crucible.
