Catastrophe (Altered Space)

**“Catastrophe**” is the first episode and the premier of the second season of *Altered Space* and the twenty-sixth episode overall. It aired October 9th, 2023.

## Synopsis

When a new threat emerges, Curtis Shepherd seeks out Jason Knight to help find the scattered time travellers. Once reunited they discover, Captain Alex Lance has vanished.

## Plot

Dr. Curtis Shepherd races to Red Lake City to the new headquarters for Spade Fleet and meets with Jason Knight to inform him that the Legends may be dead (as of 1942). Curtis, Samantha and Jason head down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean where the sunken *Chrysalis* is. The three find and revive a Kieran Jones in stasis, where Kieran fights back, only to be pinned down by Jason. Kieran is confidant the rest of the team is okay, and that the ship still works as the food hasn't expired in the time the *Chrysalis* had been down there.

Kieran begins his story in 1637, where they were protecting a king in France. The Legends had to ensure the Queen conceived an heir with the King or else there would be no Golden Age of France in the future. Unfortunately, Time pirates attacked the King, resulting in Molecule using his powers, in violation of Alex’s orders; Kieran was annoyed as he left his gun behind as ordered. Mira runs outside, telling the now-safe King that the Queen is waiting for him; Kieran realises the Queen is now "warmed up" for the King, with Mira threatening him to be silent.

Later on the *Chrysalis*, Alex berates Gemini, Derek and Ryan for potentially causing a chance to the timeline. He is also less than pleased Mira seduced the Queen of France; however, Mira defends herself, explaining the Queen came on to her. However, at that moment the ship shakes. Alex asks Thursday what happened, to which he says that a nuclear bomb destroyed New York in 1942. With this turn of events, the Allied Forces withdrew from World War II, letting the Nazis win.

Despite Patrick’s warning that they will meet their demise in that era, the Legends head there. Alex sends Ryan, Jenny, Derek, Gemini, Rory and Mira away into other times; due to his injuries, Kieran is placed in stasis. The bomb hits the *Chrysalis* knocking it into the ocean.

In the present, Kieran finishes his story, along with the fact that Alex is missing. Jason and Emily leave Curtis with Kieran to travel the timeline and rescue the Legends. Curtis is taken to the library to look for eras the Legends went to.

After regrouping, back on the *Chrysalis*, the team finds a message from Alex, telling them that he is proud of them and that the mission to protect the timeline is now up to them.
