Ohh!!! I wondered how they were going to get Garcia back to Salem in this episode. Looks like Wyatt will still be off with Jessica.
Monday’s are a bit rough, but I’ve been making it a point to stay up and line tweet this. Pretty fun and. The tweeting making the commercials disappear!

Good episode! Who knew Benjamin Franklin’s mom was hot? Haha
I always like the history recap they do when they get back from a trip. What changes happened, etc.

Flynn was pretty bad ass. Good joke with him trying to find a gun most of the episode. He had a pretty cool shoot, flip, knife move there at the end too.
Bold move by Wyatt to bring his wife in, but makes sense. I doubt she’s some sort of sleeper agent, but I do think her reappearance is the result of Rittenhouse actions.
I think a big question surrounds Jiya’s visions. Are they wrong, and did Rufus change things, and/or did time correct itself? I’d have to rewatch, but I think everything happened as she saw, just out of order.
Thinking Lucy’s mom realized her grandfather is a psycho and she realizes she backed the wrong horse!

Never expected Wyatt to tell Jessica that he time travels (or show her the bunker), so that was cool. Makes me wonder if she's been turned into a sleeper agent in this new timeline, and now that she has access to the lifeboat if she'll sabotage it.

Lucy saving 8 women or Rufus talking to Hedy Lamarr could have had disastrous consequences, and this kind of foolish activism should have serious consequences if the writers aren't lazy.
Second, going to 1980 to save a woman who was killed in 2010 (or thereabouts) should have been a much larger red flag. Not just why they did it, but how they could have had such a deep knowledge of time that some manipulation in 1980 affects the death of somebody 30 years later? Maybe they eliminated her murderer, but if so how did they know who that was and why so long ago? They should be thinking much harder about the deep game Rittenhouse is playing.

When that one guy got run over by the horse and carriage, I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m sure it wasn’t the intention of the writers, but that was some funny shit.

Great episode. Loved the time period.
Should be interesting what they have in store for Wyatt's wife now that she knows what's going on.
Even though Flynn is still not a good guy, I enjoyed seeing him take charge in Salem.

The team just doesn't think anything through.

I agree with the cavalier attitude about changing history. Step on enough butterflies through history and they might not like the outcome. Writers don’t seem to care though.

The funniest line was Flynn's "You have much bigger problems to worry about if your girlfriend is fantasizing about pilgrims" to Rufus.

😁 I had to play this back a couple of times though. Sometimes his accent is thick and he speaks softly, so I don't always understand him the first time.

I figured early on lats season that Flynn would end up as a ally, and essentially join the team. Wasn't disappointed at all when it finally happened. His back and forth the the rest of the team was awesome.

Oh. Hmm... So does that mean Lucy's mom thought Lucy would use it in the cell to pick the lock, or did she assume at some point Lucy's hands would be bound with rope (as opposed to shackles)? Or did she expect Lucy to stab her captors with it? Just seems like it wouldn't necessarily ensure Lucy's escape, yet that's all she did to try to save Lucy from the noose.

So yeah, that's my final answer, enjoy the ride, it's a fun ride, don't think too hard. Check also Bruce Willis explanation in Looper.
