## Plot

9pm June 7

Taking place at night due to the town record breaking heat wave that has plagued the valley, Agent Bucket and Skye, now a trainee at the FBI, arrive for the high school graduation. The first time she has been back since the events in March Skye sees within the stands of the football field Billy, Tibby and Mickey with many of the town that have come out to attend the celebration. Tibby and Mickey are an item now with Mickey putting her foot down on Tibby calling her babe. The friends catch up and Skye shows off to her friends by taking Bucket’s gun and almost causes a panic, but a patriotic member of the audience’s attitude to the weapon defuses the situation.

The group take their seats as Marcus begins making his speech to the graduating class. However, he is interrupted by obnoxious clapping and whooping from Sammy who blames Marcus for messing up everything, warns him that everything that happens is on Marcus. Skye tackles and tazzes Sammy motivated by members of the crowd Skye and Bucket ask for answers to his threats as Marcus comes over to speak to him. The lights on the field go out and when they come back up Sammy is gone from underneath Skye and in the crowd Marcus sees his sister Laura who speaks to him.

Mickey and Tibby recognise Laura from their memories from Prime A and inform Billy of who Laura is and how they met her. While Mickey wonders where Sammy disappeared to and if he has his memories especially how their last confrontation with him went. Skye asks Mickey to use her powers to locate him but when she tries to, Mickey finds herself unable to use her powers. Laura tells her brother that after the hell she has gone through the past eight years, being with him here now is worth it, and when she goes to touch his face Marcus only feels her warmth and not the expected rush of memories his power causes, and he cries.

Seeing his reaction Skye and Bucket make their way over to the Bennett's and ask Laura how she got here but Marcus brushes the question aside as the others join them from the stands. Billy notices the strange behavior of the crowd just watching them silently, an Skye wonders if this is an illusion. Billy and Tibby slap each other to check if this is real until Mickey slaps the both of them to stop and Billy purposes that Sammy has disguised himself as Laura. Tibby slaps Laura who punches Tibby in the face and knocking him into Mickey’s lap. When he goes to heal himself, Tibby also finds his power gone, the surprise causing Billy to check his own abilities, confirming that none of them have their powers.

They start to ask Laura more question but once again the lights on the field go dark and when they come back she is gone and the crowd has gathered in a circle around them.

Looking past the crowd they see everything beyond the football field ends in the star filled expanse of space, and wonder if Sammy is responsible somehow. They shout insults to taunt Sammy to show himself, but when Billy pretends to be Marcus he hits him, knocking out a tooth. Tibby reminds them that without his powers he can’t heal them and Skye notices Bucket entranced with the stars around them. The group try to figure out what is going on and what to do with Sammy when Sketchy arrives to see Marcus about not going through with the deal they made, since Marcus became CEO.

Mickey asks how Sketchy got here, and Marcus asks him for a favour in exchange for finally helping him, but Sketchy reveals he already succeeded, though not without injury, his leg braced and walking with a cane. Marcus eventually convinces Sketchy to help them who can be understood by everyone including Bucket and the crowd around them, but still not Billy. Marcus thanks Sketchy for being there for him and then Sketchy slowly fades away.

Mickey and Skye suspect they may be in the Grotto somehow, which means that there might be a door they could use to escape as Billy experiments with a rock by throwing it out into space. Marcus turns around to find a such a door they were talking about and the suspicion that Sammy can hear them and is controlling their surroundings grow. Tibby asks Sammy to make him taller to put their theory to the test and when nothing happens Marcus has a sidebar with Mickey inquiring about why she chose to date him, which she replies with, that he’s charming and though Tibby might be an idiot, he’s her idiot.

The group head through the door and find themselves in a strange spiraling staircase, Marcus asks Bucket if he is doing okay, and Bucket replies that having the memories of everything they have gone through has not been easy, but he does not blame Marcus. As he says this he too fades away like Sketchy, making Billy and Skye suspicious that Marcus is making people disappear. Skye pulls her gun and they ask Marcus for answers, but he refuses as if he does he will be putting them in danger. Mickey asks him if he cans still connect to Bucket but when he tries to the world around the changes, cracking to reveal space behind them.

Tibby starts to run the others follow, noticing that the light beyond the cracks are different, the stairs end in a wall and Billy turns around to run back up but end up at the same wall.

Sammy appears within a large fissure in the wall, behind a glass like surface. Marcus breaks through the glass with the help of another classmate that has followed them. Sammy repeats that everything that is happening to everyone is Marcus’ fault. Marcus challenges Sammy to deal with him now and leave his friends alone. As he goes to step forward Skye gets a magazine for her gun from a class men, but puts the gun away, after Marcus tells him that he doesn’t want Sammy hurt. Billy manages to sneak into the void behind the glass and tie Sammy’s shoes together to prevent him from disappearing again. Marcus tries to steal Skye’s gun but she notices and gets in his face about being shady.

Sammy vanishes but Billy hears a thump from deeper into the void and Billy heads in that direction, the others following until they become lost. They move into the light but find themselves in the remains of Prime A Kollok, the Stone Mason’s mirror before them. The realisation that the universe they left died stuns Tibby as those gathered at the ceremony rise from the rubble, clothes tattered and burned, led by a Stone Mason. He asks why they returned and that they are not welcome. They ask what happened and he replies that they left all of them, that everything fell and that they were meant to help rebuild. He tells Marcus that he always leaves, because he thinks it is best for the town. Skye tries to reason with Marcus to understand what the stone mason said, when they catch the reflections in the mirror and see the one armed, Tibby, walking Mickey and a smiling Marcus.

Marcus goes up to his reflection and is able to talk with it. The reflection tells Marcus that he never lost sight of the true goal; Rachel, not saving Kollok and getting it back to normal. He tells them that they will handle it before walking away with the other reflections deeper into the mirror. The group try to comfort Marcus who has been shaken by the words of his reflection and the group tell him that he has to let go of the idea to return things to normal.

The world shifts again and the group find themselves in a classroom back at the school. Mr Thomas their history teacher at the front talks about the change people can make by working together and continues to a class that isn’t there. Tibby tries to leave he finds the door won’t open Skye and Marcus exchange heated words about their situation and worries of dying and trying to protect each other. He starts to go for the door to let them go but stops and slowly approaches Skye instead asking that if he turned bad, would she kill him?

The fight turns violent as he again goes for her gun and other members of Kollok choose sides and assail them, one even stabbing a pencil into Marcus’s eye. The world begins to break apart and the members of Kollok crowd around him, but when they part the others see Marcus as a young child. Laura appears from the crowd but the others try to stop Marcus from going and Tibby asks why she left Marcus. The young Marcus responds that she didn’t leave but was kidnapped but Laura tells him the truth, that she died in a car crash when she ran away from a fight with their mom, until she was brought back and locked her away. She warns him of trying to fix things when he can’t, he has to accept it and let them go.

The world cracks more and the voice Ms Wu calls out to Marcus. She calls out to Devina to end the simulation and Marcus removes his head set, revealing he has been sat in his new office at Synchroneity. Ms Wu asks him if the simulation was a success, if there were breaks in reality and if his subconscious overwrote reality like it had all the times before, which he answers that no matter how many times they run it he can’t find a way to bring back everything back the way it was. Ms Wu placates him saying that they are working on it, by sending the reports to the Traveller, getting new samples and letting Marcus try it again. When she brings up about getting better results if they had Billy, Marcus gets angry, saying that his friends and family are off limits.

Marcus accepts the conclusion that he can’t get things back to normal and that he may need to break ties with his friends which Ms Wu mocks with the fact that he hasn’t seen or talked to them anyway in the past 3 months, outside of the simulation. But Marcus clarifies that he means killing them, to which he replays a version where Skye is a master at firearms, saying that Skye could be a threat if she wanted to be. Ms Wu ignores him and asks if he’s ready to move on with the tech and show it to the investors, which he states she can do so but also to continue with the simulations. Devina, who has seemingly been retrieved from the lake, asks Marcus if she should save the last two simulations and informs Marcus that his favourite food has been stocked along with yoohoos. Marcus asks her to play for him the video of the graduation Ceremony, even though he wasn’t there and Ms Wu leaves the room leaving Marcus alone in his office.
