== Summary ==
A mysterious woman steps through a time door and gives Holly advice on dealing with her fears.
==Plot==
The Marshalls are navigating through the caves under The Lost City in order to try and figure out how the Crystals in Enik's cave can help them get home. Rick thinks that the right combination of crystals will make the door home appear, but they have to find out the right combination. Despite trying numerous combinations, nothing seems to work.
Meanwhile, Holly feels like her father and brother are treating her like a baby, so she wanders off and almost bumps into Big Alice outside, so she runs back inside and gets lost trying to get back to her family. She comes across some Pylon markings in a lower cave, so she runs back to Rick and Will to tell them about it. The three of them wander further down eventually come to the bottom of a carved set of steps and another Pylon marking, right before a small hole in the wall that a breeze is coming from. Holly wants to help in finding where the hole leads, but again Rick and Will feel it's too dangerous for her to help them, so she runs back to Enik's cave to pout. While lamenting the fact that her family doesn't trust her, a voice behind her says that they will. 
While Rick and Will are exploring the small hole, Holly discovers that the voice belongs to a beautiful, blonde, young woman who calls herself "Rani." She seems to know a lot about Holly and her family, but she gives Holly some good advice to help her with her acrophobia and to be there for her family. She also gives Holly some medallions to help the family stay in touch with each other. Meanwhile, Holly notices a scar on the woman's wrist, which Rani explains as having come from saving her brother's life. Just as Holly turns to leave, Rani appears to have disappeared back through the time doorway again. 
Holly runs back to Rick and Will and tells them about the strange woman, and gives each of them a medallion. Rick and Will were both too large to go through the hole, but Holly volunteers herself and convinces them that it will be okay, especially since, in the dark, her fear of heights won't be bothered. They start to lower Holly down, but suddenly, they are attacked by Sleestak who capture them and take them to be sacrificed to the God of the Pit. 
Holly realizes that her family is in trouble, so she climbs up the rope, using Rani's advice to conquer her fear of heights, and then runs back to Enik's cave to ask Rani if she can help her, but she tells Holly she can do this. As Holly grabs supplies to go help her family, she realizes that Rani has once again disappeared.
Holly runs back through the caves, quickly locating the pit where her father and brother are being held. When Rick sees her, he shouts at her to run, but she refuses, instead, throwing a flash bomb down to stun the Sleestak. Unfortunately, this also causes both Rick and Will to fall into the pit. Thinking quickly, Holly ties a rope to a nearby stalagmite and lowers herself into the pit where she finds that Will is unconscious and Rick is trying to revive him. Once again, Rick demands she flee, but she refuses, instead demanding that Rick climb the rope so they can haul Will out. Realizing that Holly is right, Rick quickly climbs up and begins to haul up Will just as he starts to gain consciousness. While Rick is hoisting Will, the monster in the pit growls and Holly fearlessly charges it, getting wounded on her wrist in the process. Rick hauls up up just in time, as the Sleestak are starting to revive. Rick helps the wounded Will hobble out and the three of them escape to an unoccupied tunnel. 
While Rick and Will regroup and assess the severity of Will's injury, Holly says that she forgot something in Enik's cave. She runs back in to talk to Rani. Holly tells Rani that she's learned that she's her future self. Rani admits to coming back through the time door, and tells Holly that she can leave the Land of the Lost, but she'll have to find the answers herself. She also advises Holly to cherish her family, because they won't always be there. As soon as Holly turns away, Rani disappears for the final time.
