Secrets of Sulphur Springs S2 E4

## Plot

On January 19, 2022, some countries uploaded all of the remaining season 2 episodes yet to air on cable TV on Disney+ instead, as well as DisneyNOW. However, episode 4 refused to work on my computer for some reason, so I was forced to download the app onto my phone, sign in with my TV provider, and watch it that way. And for some reason it's only that episode. Also, I was really impatient and didn't want to wait a full week to watch said episode on TV, especially since in order to review it and refer back to it for future reference, I would obviously need a recording of it. Whatever, Topher yells that he's sorry and claims that he was going to put the crystal back, and then he runs back home. The crystal causes the ground to start bubbling. Griffin is positive that Sam somehow turned his family's radio into a time machine when he grew up. They just have to figure out how he did it. He showed Daisy sketches of his inventions, but even if she could recreate the images correctly, she never understood how they were actually supposed to work. She thinks she's going to be stuck in the future forever, but Griffin says they'll get her back to her own time period, because if they don't, she'll never live the life she's supposed to live, and Harper will never even be born (which means none of this could happen in the first place). They can't mess with time like that. Besides, there's no way that Griffin is leaving his best friend all alone. Daisy can tell that he cares about her a lot. That night, Harper looks for the hatch again, but it's still not there. Someone is watching her. Sam knows that Savannah has been following him around the hotel. She tells him that she knows he's building a time machine because she's used it, but he thinks she's pranking him. Ben and Sarah receive a bill from a plumber to repair a few leaky pipes. He didn't even go inside. He doesn't want the job. No one does, due to everyone thinking the hotel is cursed The bill is pretty high. Ben and Sarah hear a man and woman laughing. They're in the springs, which have returned thanks to the crystal. Daisy sees Topher's dirty clothes and shoes, and he claims that he was sleepwalking. In 1930, Harper messes with the family radio, but it's currently just a normal radio. The program up next is "The Man Out of Time". Sam knows that Daisy hates that program. It's about an adventurer who travels along the timeline to stop the world from ending. Harper asks Sam if he uses a portal, and if he ever gets stuck. She also asks what the rules are for the visions, but Grace taught her children all about them, so she should already know. She tells Sam that she's just tired. Daisy is nervous about going to school, which, despite Griffin's assurances, has changed a lot in 90 years. She tells him that she's not Harper, she's not sure how much longer she can pretend, and this is all just too much. Everything is so fast and bright, and there's beeping everywhere. Her brother invented a time machine, her mother is potentially a ghost, and she's stuck in the future. She has to take a quiz in history class… on the events leading up to World War II, which is all new information to her. Sarah sees a woman in white round a corner, but it's just a reporter, not Grace's ghost. Her name is Allison Carter. She's from the local paper. She wants to know when they plan on reopening to the public, especially since the springs have come back, but they don't know. Just then, Ben's dad shows up. Harper puts her hand in the springs to get another vision of the fire. A white man dressed in all white shows up at the farm. He's a judge. His name is Emmett Walker. He's the one who's been trying to buy the farm. He knows how much work Grace put into it, but he wants the land to always be here for Elijah's kids, and their children as well. The judge offers to buy the farm and the springs and let them keep the house, on his word. Elijah asks for some time to think it over. The judge tells him that all it would take is one bad accident, and the only thing he'd leave his children with is a mountain of debt. Sam doesn't want to sell the land, even if they get to keep the house. Harper asks him if he trusts the judge. He says that sometimes, he doesn't know who to trust. Ben is sanding the front desk when his dad tells him and Sarah that what they're doing here is impressive, which is a total 180º from his opinion just a short while ago in season 1, which Ben points out. His father apologizes, but ever since he learned what really happened to Savannah, he's been reevaluating some things, and realized that he hasn't exactly been the greatest dad to his son. He wants to make up for that. Or at least, that's what he claims, but he also knows about the springs coming back, which changes things. Now this place could be a real investment opportunity, and he offers his help. Ben doesn't want it, but Sarah does. He's almost hurt when the electrical sander powers up and flies off a piece of wood. Ben thinks it was an electrical surge, but Wyatt and Zoey saw it and think it's the ghost, who is getting angry. Harper's history teacher sees Daisy after school. She got every question on the quiz wrong, which isn't like her at all. Griffin sees them talking. The teacher asks Daisy if she's having trouble at school or at home. She might be able to help, but only if she tells her the truth. Daisy says she's not who the teacher thinks she is. Savannah tells Sam that he has to finish building the time machine so she can go back to 1930 and save her friend. The only proof she has that she's traveled through time is her letter. He reads it, and realizes that she's telling the truth, because Harper's letter mentions his sister Daisy by name. Savannah tells him that she and Harper look exactly alike, and since Harper is related to him, he should care about saving her too. She was pretending to be Daisy, which explains his "sister's" odd behavior from when he was a kid. Speaking of which, he knows that Harper isn't his sister, and asks her who she is, where she came from, and why she was digging in the clearing late at night. Ben looks in the springs and finds the crystal. I'd like to point out what might be a plot hole. The time machine isn't working at this point in either 2020 or 1962, when it was first created, but if that's the case, then how did Savannah already use it to travel to 2020 during the season 1 finale? My head hurts so much. I guess she could've gone through the hatch to go ahead 30 years at a time, but if she had done that in 1962, then she should've wound up in 2022, not 2020, since she didn't know how the radio worked yet.
