Original airdate: January 21, 2016
Synopsis:
As Carlos, Micah, and Jose get Farrah to the hospital, they find it abandoned but Micah uses his powers to get the electricity going again. Carlos uses his army medical training to slowly nurse her back to health with Jose using his power to remove the bullet from her. Soon more people arrive at the hospital in need of medical aid, with Carlos and company staying to help them.
Emily learns that Tommy is trapped in Evernow, with Ren explaining that Miko is the only one that can go into the game. Meanwhile Tommy tries to figure out his prison, an endless maze of repeating corridors. As Dr SciGuy and Erica power up the machines, conduits reach out to Tommy within his prisons and attach themselves to him, forcing him to teleport a large number of people wearing their watches into the future. Afterwards, the cables retract and Tommy is left trying to find a way out. He eventually runs into a double of himself, seemingly caught in a time loop and who is somehow more clueless about the prison than the first smarter Tommy. Smart Tommy tells Clueless Tommy that they can be in two places at once and that their memories exist in this place, and that they need to think about their past and try to find them. Clueless Tommy begins to remember his past when he first saw Claire Bennet revealing her power on tv, with Anne revealing to Tommy that Claire is his birth mother and tells Tommy the truth. Clueless Tommy then starts remembering more and more from his past, notably his father Hiro. He also sees the memory of the time he was taken to level 5 in Primatech and met his sister, and touched hands which caused a giant pillar of energy to explode into the sky through the building.
Erica and Dr SciGuy leave their lab and discover that the transfer worked with dozens upon dozens of people, including Ren and Emily, having been teleported to the future city of Gateway. Ren and Emily explore the facility and eventually find Ottomo and release him from the Evo machine tables. They wake up the real Miko who has no knowledge of who Ren is. DrSciGuy appears and holds them all at gunpoint but Ottomo comes from behind and kills him. Ottomo explains that Ren risked his life to free her and she is very appreciative. Otomo sends Ren into the game to find Miko in the game and rescue Tommy. Once inside, he finds Miko immediately and they set off on their quest. Eventually they find the prison and Ren removes the sword from the prison, with Miko saying they will meet again. As the video game shuts down, Tommy is freed along with Ren and they are confronted by Erica and her guards. Erica monologues about how this future will cease to exist if he goes back and stops the HELE. Tommy calls himself Nathan and as Erica fires a gun at him, he freezes time, creating a double of himself to go back in time and help Malina while he stays in the future and gets Ren, Otomo, Emily, and his mother, all teleported away to safety.
Back in the present, Phoebe discovers she has been left behind. Quentin, Luke, and Malina arrive at the clock tower and see the first solar flare approaching. Luke forces them to take cover, deciding it is his destiny to stop this flare himself and absorbs the power from the flare, floating up to it and destroying it in a spectacular explosion as he merges with it.
Quentin starts to take Malina to the clock tower, but they run into Phoebe who attacks them, pulling Malina up through the air, threatening to drop her. Quentin pulls out his gun, torn about shooting his sister, telling Phoebe they were used by Erica. Quentin begs her to stop, but she won’t and Quentin shoots her as she backs into a window and falls to her death. Malina falls as well but manages to hold onto the ledge and pull herself back up.
As the second solar flare approaches, Malina readies herself against it but finds that she can’t stop it. Nathan suddenly appears and the two join hands to try and fight the flare but the power is too erratic, not working. Nathan decides to go back in time to Level 5 and see what happened. He learns that the beam that shot through the building only happened because a technician tried to pull them apart and became a conduit for their power. The man unfortunately died.
Bennet finds himself teleported to that same moment, learning what Nathan saw as well. Nathan appears and explains how he’s been trying to save the world but nothing has worked. Bennet volunteers to be the conduit. As he takes both of the twins’ hands, their power shoots through him and reaches up to the flare, destroying it. The twins cradle their grandfather as he speaks to them, telling them he’s proud of them before he passes on.
In the future, the other Nathan cuts off Erica’s watch, enters the machine, and starts time again, sending everyone wearing a watch back to the present where they belong, leaving Erica behind in a world that will no longer escort. That Nathan… disappears?
Three months later, Quentin is in prison for reasons, and being interrogated by agents about what happened at Gateway. The agents are unbelieving that Evos would have saved the role without wanting credit, wanting to know who they were. Quentin tells them in a passionate speech that the Evos are all around them and chose to be heroes in that moment. He tells them that when they are needed, they’ll be here, without anyone having to ask them and that is who they are, that they are all of them on their best day.
Carlos continues his fight as El Vengador with Farah at his side and Jose wanting to help them. Emily and Nathan run the Ice Cream Shop, while Malina attends school. Both Nathan and Malina receive a mysterious tarot card, and when Angela is asked about it she tells Malina it’s from her father, who is coming for her and Nathan, and that no one can protect them.
Back-issues:
Michael Iliadis is credited as “trench coat man” (in the ice cream shop) and is the one who is assumed to be Malina and Nathan’s father. However, he could be an agent working for their father as well.
