### Before Flight 828

TJ is a student at Astoria and goes on a vacation to Jamaica presumably with his friends from the university. He was initially on the same flight as the rest of the Stone family but; like Michaela, Ben, and Cal; volunteered to go on flight 828. He also shared a connection with Olive prior to the flight, ironically showing her the book "A Wrinkle in Time", and she attempted to move to 828 to be on the same flight as him. ("Black Box")

### During Flight 828

In her grief, his mother commits suicide a month after the plane's disappearance. Her belongings are thrown out by her landlord, and his dorm items are discarded by the school, later to be picked up by Frannie. ("Grounded")

### After Flight 828

TJ resumes classes at Astoria and first encounters Ben due to a Calling about being in his grave. Soon after, he feels the need to start digging near a construction site and finds the body of a girl, implying that the calling was not of him in his own grave, but the girl's. After being arrested for the girl's murder, Ben does not stop defending him. It is discovered that the reason his fingerprints were all over the victim's dorm room is because she picked up the things that were discarded after his mother's death. After the real killer is caught, he gets to have his things back, including photos of him and his mother. ("Grounded")

After all of the drama surrounding the murder is over, he becomes close with the Stone family, pursuing a relationship with Olive. Ben also tends to act like somewhat of a father to him, as he has no family left.

In Emergency Exit, he, Olive, and Ben are trapped with Isaiah and when a rafter comes down he and Isaiah are separated from Ben and Olive, who escape. He was holding Olive's bracelet when they were separated, and a body is discovered holding the bracelet, which led everyone to believe he died in the fire. However, after hearing chanting, Ben and Olive find an underground railway which they follow to underneath the nightclub, where they find TJ, alive. He explains that the body found was Isaiah's as he had taken the bracelet from TJ. During the time he was presumed dead it was revealed that his mother was a Buddhist, and when he returned he held a Buddhist funeral for her ("Return Trip"), so when he "died", Ben and Olive did the same for him.

TJ later travels to Egypt to continue his studies on the connection between 828 and Egyptian mythology. TJ eventually sends Olive an ancient parchment with a painting depicting The Last Trial.

### New Timeline

After the passengers beat the Death Date, they are given a second chance by being sent back to when 828 was supposed to land on April 7, 2013, thereby creating a new timeline. TJ hugs his mom and cries in happiness that he gets a second chance with her. While waiting for his bag, he encounters a 10 year old Olive, who has no memory of their relationship or anything from the time 828 disappeared to 2024 in the original timeline. She tells him she read his book and TJ tells her to enjoy it. He then meets Violet, a passenger from 828 that died at an earlier point but had been resurrected after the passengers beat the Death date and arrived on April 7, 2013.
