Original airdate: November 12, 2015
Synopsis:
Carlos gets into Sunstone Manor as Dearing’s plan works perfectly, however, while Carlos is being processed, Dearing learns that they have to also swab him to make sure Evos aren’t turning in their own kind. He fights back but the nurse subdues him with a sedative.
Carlos manages to get the jump on one of the guards and steals his uniform as he sneaks around looking for his nephew and the pastor. He finds them, but Jose is seeing his father and doesn’t want to leave. The pastor says he has seen the light and wants to stay and help Erica. Carlos tries to get away but is captured by the Sunstone guards.
Dearing is interrogated by Matt who totally unironically condemns him for using his own powers against other Evos, before letting him commit suicide as his punishment. He then questions Carlos and learns about his time in battle in Afghanistan and tries using that to find out more about his secrets, learning about Farah’s involvement.
Luke and Malina talk about fate, which she strongly believes in, and Luke refusing to talk about what made him lose his purpose in life. Later as they drive on, he does open up about his son however.
Meanwhile, almost 8000 years in the future, Miko appears in a large desert, making her way towards a building in the distance.
Taylor cuts and dyes her to try to hide from her mother. Hero Turther contacts her for a secret meeting. When she arrives, she finds herself taken captive by two assailants. When she awakens, she sees her mother there, but quickly finds out it is just a shapeshifter. The Haitian reveals himself and together they formulate a plan to try and rescue Francis and Hero Truther, Micah from Erica.
Tommy and Emily walk hand in hand to the ice cream parlor, kissing before he leaves to see his mother. Hatman goes to see Emily and while he places a spinning penny on the counter, he stops her from touching it, letting her keep her memories of her first love of Tommy. Unfortunately, they are interrupted by Joanne who has returned to find Tommy. Hatman tries to distract Joanne and drops a number of pennies, hoping she will pick one up and thereby lose her memories, but Joanne notices a look between Hatman and Emily and cuts them off by flashing her gun menacingly. Hatman talks to Joanne, playing on her thoughts of losing her son, trying to convince her to pick up the penny so he can help her forget all about it.
Elsewhere Tommy talks with his mother who begins to tell him all about his past and where he comes from and who his family is and the true nature of his powers. Bennet shows up to confirm that Tommy can actually time travel just like Hiro. He tells him that he needs to get him and his sister to Odessa, but asks for a minute to talk with Anne. As Tommy goes outside, he runs into Quentin who talks with him, helping him get a candy bar out of the machine. He then gets a call from Emily but it turns out to be Joanne, leaving Tommy to teleport to the ice cream shop, leaving Quentin, who had hoped to take Tommy to Erica, empty-handed. Tommy then teleports into the ice cream shop and faces off against Joanne. Hatman tosses his briefcase of pennies as a distraction but Joanne reacts instinctively and shoots him dead. Luke and Malina, just having arrived outside the shop, hear the gunshot. Luke races in and faces off against Joanne who is surprised he didn’t burn inside their house. He burns the wall behind Joanne as a warning but she says Luke can just kill her so she can be with her son again and she will then kill Emily. As Joanne shoots and Luke launches fire towards her, Tommy reacts and freezes time. He then moves the bullet and redirects Luke’s flames, and restarts time while teleporting him and Emily to safety, though he does notice Malina in the back of the shop. Joanne escapes with Luke following behind her, chasing her, but Harris shows up and helps Joanne get away.
Tommy returns to the hospital, and tries to teleport him and Bennet away but he can’t as it’s revealed Phoebe is there. Bennet draws his gun on her but Quentin draws his gun on Tommy, holding him captive and revealing to Bennet that he is working for Erica now. Bennet gives up his gun as Quentin and Phoebe escape with Tommy as their captive. Back at the ice cream shop, Bennet finds Malina, introducing himself as her grandfather. Tommy meanwhile is brought to Erica, who invites him to sit for dinner with her as she tells him she will tell him how he can save the future.

Original airdate: November 19, 2015
Synopsis:
As Bennet talks to Malina about their next moves, Luke approaches them, wanting to help but Bennet is standoffish and refuses assistance. As Bennet and Malina make their way to Midian, talking about Claire and everything that happened for the twins’ safety and Erica’s plans, Luke follows them and he and Bennet exchange words again later with Bennet telling him they are fine on their own, despite Luke’s earnestness at wanting to help.
Miko enters Gateway and is confronted by the workers there, attacking them and beating them. Inside she subdues a guard and creates a makeshift spear as she investigates the building, eventually finding her father and his real life daughter who is hooked up into the Evo tables alongside others. He tells her how Renautus kept his daughter alive as long as he did what they said. He reveals that he sent Ren to her for reasons, and that she must find the master of time and space to get her final mission. Hochiro then apologizes, calling for the guards for fear of losing his real life daughter as Miko runs away.
Tommy awakens in a bed with a scar on the back of his neck as Erica greets him good morning. She explains he passed out after dinner and they ran some tests on him to be sure he was ok. Nathan asks about Phoebe and his family, assessing the situation, as Erica tries to manipulate him against them. She explains what her plan is, referring to Hiro and the idea they could send people to the future, hoping that Tommy will reopen the bridge that was cut off. He wants to see the future she is referring to so she agrees to show him. He ends up seeing the vast desert wasteland and the start of Erica’s new city called Gateway and decides that he will help her. He asks her about the scar and she admits the truth: that she tried to steal his powers but it didn’t work. Later, as Tommy sends some of Erica’s people back to the past for more supplies, she tells him to send back Quentin and Phoebe, convinced that Tommy is fully on board and not worried about him escaping. After he follows her instructions, reiterating that he wants to bring his family and friends here, Miko suddenly appears and grabs Tommy, telling him she is there to save the master of time and space and he teleports them both away.
Quentin comments regretfully on the craziness going on but Phoebe shows no remorse and a much more aggressive attitude as she believes she is only useful to Erica, saying this is who she is from now on.
The Haitian and his crew keep watch as their shapeshifter, Mr. Changeroo, now transformed into Erica, and Taylor, now with undyed hair and full length tresses restored, begin their ruse to get into the facility, easily bypassing security.
Matt uses the information he pulled from Carlos to interrogate Farrah, and eventually brings him in as well to threaten so Farah will talk and tell Matt where Malina is headed. While Farah said she would never reveal it, the possibility that Carlos, whom she loves, would be killed by Matt, convinces her to give up Malina’s location. Matt meets with fake Erica and Taylor but with his ability working when they ask to see Micah, he suspects something is up, leaving Taylor to tase him unconscious. While Mr. Changeroo looks for more information they can use, Taylor goes off to find Micah.
As Matt awakens, Mr. Changeroo shifts into a copy of him. Harris walks in and shoots Mr. Changeroo immediately. Matt asks how he knew and Harris says he took a chance, which upsets Matt. He tells Harris about Malina’s destination but Harris says they’ve got it handled. Matt heads off to the captured Micah and makes him reveal if his and his family’s names are on the escape list.
Meanwhile Ren is desperately searching online for news of Katana Girl when he sees a shogun and starts following him. He finally tracks him to a dojo where samurai are fighting with wooden swords. The shogun unmasks to reveal himself as Hachiro Ottomo and Ren asks if this is real. Hachiro responds that they are constructs sent here by the real Hachiro in the future. He tells Ren to take a helix necklace, a key, and get to Odessa where there is a gateway that can take him to the future. He chases after Hachiro but he is gone as well as the fighting Samurai. he goes outside and soon sees a bus going to Odessa.
Later, as Malina and Bennet drive they see dozens of cars stopped and giant black clouds filling the sky. She uses her powers to push the clouds away, and chaos ensues. As a car flies through the air towards Bennet, an unseen person suddenly appears and teleports him away. Malina eventually succeeds in saving everyone nearby, but people begin blaming Evos for the starting incident in the first place. She tries to find Bennet but only recovers his broken glass, and Luke convinces her to run away when someone fires off a gun.
Carlos, being led back to his cell, attacks the guard and gets the upper hand, releasing Farrah, and the two reconnect and begin escaping through the building together, armed and dangerous. They soon run into Taylor and the three of them team up. They escape and reunite with The Haitian and his team but they are then approached by dozens upon dozens of Harrises.
