## Plot

**5 pm, March 21**

Marcus awakes in a cold solid concrete cell along with the others, strange crown-like devices attached to their heads. When Marcus attempts to touch his, a voice from a hidden speaker warns against it causing the others to wake up. Billy, they see still remains in his self-imposed coma and that even J.A. is with them. They converse with the voice who warns them that the crowns will permanently paralyze them should they attempt to use their powers and agents are on their way to talk to them. Mike Jones also trapped alongside them has a moment with Mickey where she tells him the truth of what she did.

Worried about how much time they have the group share their feelings and repair the friendships that were near breaking the previous day. Tibby apologises to Skye for being annoying and she in turn apologises for mistreating him and not understanding the cost of using his powers, something she felt after healing her parents. Mickey also apologises to Tibby for shouting at him, that she admires him for his positivity and looking to always do good, and he tells her he thinks of Mickey as a superhero after all she has been through. Marcus tells Mickey about how he regrets listening to his other friends about her, after getting to know her now and wishes he could have known her sooner. Skye also adds that she’s always thought Mickey was a badass. During this moment Skye also admits to being a nerd and the nature of the discussion reminds Tibby of their situation and what could happen next, but Skye assures them that if she does leave, that they will be okay.

Just then a part of the floor moves up like an elevator to reveal two figures a woman in purple and a man in yellow, before the elevator returns to the floor. The two introduce themselves as Purple and Yellow, that they work with the scarred man they saw before, and inform the group that while they were sleeping the world is at the brink of war after several world leaders died suddenly and every country is blaming each other. Yellow voices all their fear aloud as they begin to ask them questions. Tibby steps up and says he will tell them everything, but only away from earshot of the others, allowing his friends to think up a plan. Skye worries about going back to the past an having to explain everything to them again, but Marcus points out that he will have his powers and that he can give Skye their memories for his past self to extract and to give everyone. The group feel a strange static in the air like being in a lightning storm.

Tibby divulges the situation to Purple and Yellow but unable to get a proper read on him Purple uses her ability to bring Tibby into a state of such deep calm, he accidently pees himself. Yellow divulges that they are being held underneath where Department C had set up their base and that they and the CIA were brought in to dismantle them for working behind the government’s back.

Purple further uses her power to tease more answers from him and gives Tibby an extra dose of courage to convince him to get the others to tell them the rest. However, bolstered by this he strides back to his friends and openly admits his feelings to Mickey and asks her for a date. Skye sidebars with Marcus and discuss that the tingling sensation may be Sayaka, and when Skye whisper her name, they get a stronger response.

Yellow is unnerved by the rise in static as he no longer feels fear from the group as the surge of electricity in the air grows, using the distraction Mickey asks Marcus to extract the memory from everyone, that she can kill with her power when they send Skye back. The bulbs in the room begin to explode and the crowns short circuit. Yellow draws a gun in response but Tibby, still encouraged by Purple’s power rushes him until she pushes Tibby off of her colleague. Marcus grabs Yellow’s gun and the others notice J.A. floating off of the ground, speaking with Sayaka’s voice, and unleashes a bolt of lightning that incapacitates Purple and Yellow. Sayaka explains that she is using J.A.’s vocal cords to speak to them and hopes she is not hurting him.

The group hold hands and Marcus uses his powers to transfer all the memories they have experienced together, takes away what Mickey asked of him, and when Tibby found out that he resurrected Marcus’ mom and adds the small moments each of them had in the past where they could have met. The memories now within Skye she fades even further but somewhat anticlimactically, she does not disappear. With an unknown amount of time left Mickey reads the others the note Billy left her written on the dollar bill.

Inside Billy wrote that he has Rachel and Lenny’s others in his basement and wrote this note when he was speaking to Mike at the diner in Portland. He tells them that he knew if he ever messed up, he would put himself into a coma and that he believes in them. In a number of post scripts he asks Tibby that if anyone would ask what his favourite vegetable is, he must say Billy Baker, he informs Mickey of Tibby’s crush on her, tells Marcus that he’s the coolest person he knows and that Skye is allowed to punch him when she goes back.

Not knowing how much time they have left together the group say their final goodbyes and embrace in a hug and Skye’s time runs out.

March 18

Skye comes to life within the morgue the first face she sees is Perry Bucket’s with the sounds of Tibby crying about killing her in another universe. Skye hurriedly explains that she’s from the future and that they need to hold hands so Marcus can share the memories. After Tibby points out that she’s still very much naked, she gets dressed and they join hands so Marcus can use his power. Mickey, Tibby and Marcus gain their memories of the future as well as share them with Bucket, including the memory of him getting shot and Lexi killing Mickey’s Dad.

The weight of the memories and depths they went to, weigh heavily, Tibby is sick and Bucket’s leg buckles as the others relive the events passed to them. Skye tells Bucket about Clarity and seeing that Bucket and Tibby are not doing well gives them a rousing speech that they can still stop what happened and reminds them that they can do better this time around, together. Tibby fills in Billy what they all lost and of Lexi and Mike, and that he can use his power for good. Skye’s speech rallies Bucket and he offers to drive them to Lexi’s and they head off to save their town.

On the way Marcus calls for Sketchy and Skye confides in Bucket that she worries about what to do, as her instincts after living through the future is to kill Lexi. As they talk about trying to connect with Lexi, they realise that they never actually got to know her, and Bucket says that all they need to do is be understanding, to trust that Lexi is a good person all they need to be is kind. Remembering that the incident with Lexi was broadcast by the local news Marcus has an idea to draw the attention to elsewhere. However, things go sideways when their lie proves too outrageous and not even Skye’s attempts to fix it helps and the station hangs up on them.

As they get ever closer to Lexi’s they come up with several back up plans; to cut the house’s phone lines so Lexi’s family can’t report her, and the option that Billy could always change them with his powers to accept Lexi.

They finally arrive at Lexi’s and Mickey has a quiet conversation with Tibby and asks him if they have no other choice, do they kill Lexi? Tibby answers that they are all dangerous but he believes that they can’t kill Lexi because someone could validate doing it to them. Mickey agrees to give Lexi a chance and Tibby apologises for not trying to revive her dad and what Lexi did to her. While they have this moment Tibby also asks Mickey on a date, to which she answers that if the town isn’t destroyed, and that her parents are still alive after this, that maybe she will be free on Friday. Tibby proclaims to everyone that now they must succeed.

They further dispel their nerves talking about Skye’s newly uncovered admission that she is a nerd, and get out the car. They support Mickey saying that she is still intimidating no matter if she’s in a wheelchair or not and Mickey remembers that she still has her knife which Bucket confiscates immediately. They split up to enact their plans; Marcus and Bucket taking care of the phoneline, Skye and Billy talking to Lexi’s parents and Mickey and Tibby keeping an eye for Lexi and Mike’s arrival.

Lexi’s father answers the door and seems confrontational, after being pestered by reporters and Syncroniety to inform the latter the moment Lexi arrives, due to what the company call a possible contamination. Seeing Lexi’s parent’s willingness to turn on their daughter when Skye tells them that she is fine and just walking home from the field trip, Billy uses his powers to replace them with more understanding versions. Lexi’s parents accept that their daughter is running late and Bucket and Marcus give them the thumbs up that their part of the plan is a success.

Back by the car Mickey sees something in the bushes over the road and Tibby voices the idea that if he were Lexi and Mike and scared about returning home, that he’d watch the house just in case. The pair go over into the bushes and start talking to who they perceive to be Lexi and Mike, explaining their situation and their willingness to help. However Sketchy walks out of the bush they were talking at, and calls them out on going into creepy bushes on their own hoping that they were talking to their friends and not some stranger who could have killed them.

They ask him if he saw Lexi and Mike on his way here and he says yes, that they are in the bush behind the two of them. Sketchy leaves the four of them to talk and goes to find Marcus. Lexi asks if they were genuine about helping them and Mickey offers her hand out, saying that they are here to help while Tibby promises Mike on his Spiderman #25, the same.

Sketchy finds Marcus with Bucket, Billy and Skye, and we learn that Bucket is also unable to hear Sketchy. Still upset with Marcus in this new timeline Sketchy demands Marcus kneel and apologise to him. Marcus refuses to kneel but does apologise to Sketchy which earns his approval, though he mentions that if Marcus really wants to help him out, he can do so by dealing with the squirrel that took over his leadership, and has been trying to eat his heart to solidify its position within the tribe. Marcus offers instead to wipe the mind of the other squirrel so he never knew Sketchy wasn’t the leader which he agrees to.

Mickey and Tibby return with Lexi and Mike who go inside to speak to her parents. With their mission seemingly a success and the timeline changed they decide to wait and talk with Lexi. A long black Cadillac stops outside the house and Clarity Prime steps out and greets them. She asks them not to be alarmed that she is here to talk and she is concerned for Lexi’s safety. She warns the group that if they try to use their powers she will know, the same energy that runs through them, runs through her and she has a greater understanding of it than them. Asking what she wants she reveals that Synchroniety is working on a way to take the powers back, not just for Lexi but for all of them, if they want, as she wants Kollok to go back to being safe from things that threaten the town. At this time a news van arrives on the street proving her point

Marcus challenges that does normal mean life without pounds of flesh and secrets societies, but she replies that those are the things that keep the town safe, everything comes at a cost and that she has done everything to minimize that cost for everyone. Mickey points out that Clarity ordered the hit on her father and ask why and she replies that the things he knows could threaten the town. The news van comes closer but clarity isn’t surprised with her stepping out in public after so long, but she had to, to help Lexi after one of her people saw what Lexi does. The group tell her that they have fixed it, that Lexi’s power is tied to her emotions.

Clarity tells them that all she wishes is to fix things, that they were tricked by the stone masons but Mickey doesn’t believe her. Clarity offers to show them answers and if they believe her to let them her people help Lexi, but Mickey adds only if she removes the hit on her father. Clarity agrees as long as Billy makes him see that he never worked for Synchroniety and Marcus takes any memory of them,they come to an agreement.

They tell Bucket they plan to go with Clarity but he chooses to remain behind and look after Lexi and her family just in case. He gives his car keys to Skye as the others pile in and follow Clarity’s car. The group are brought into the mines below Syncroniety and descend into an old elevator where Clarity provides them with answers and context to everything going on within the town.

Clarity and her father Shiloh, grew up in Kollok before the ship crashed and 10 clones of her walked out, after they tried to rebuild Shiloh went into the ship and made a deal to return those who died in the mines to life, thus starting everything. A while later an earthquake hit and levelled large portions of the town, so Shiloh and the Stone Masons behind the backs of everyone broke up the ship to use the metal to rebuild several of the buildings across town, the origin of the strange glyphs, such as in Jana Grace’s basement and mentioned by Sketchy.

Clarity continues, explain that during a wedding in one of the buildings rebuilt using the ship metal, what is now the modern-day Community Centre, the glyphs led to the attendees turning crazed and blood thirsty. After this they discovered the glyphs affected anyone brought back by the deal. For what he had caused Clarity had the clones drown Shiloh in the lake and she took over the town. In later years they discovered that the energy of Phobos captured within the ship had escaped and they gave it Flesh.

When confronted with why she kills the clones Clarity claims that because she sees them as abominations, and that if they stop sacrificing them “It will get hungry.” Syncroniety discovered the ships records years later, uncovering that a future version of Shiloh sent a team to the Phobos asteroid and was there that the crew discovered the energy.

The elevator comes to a stop into a vast cavern and Clarity escorts them to the edge of deep hole within the earth, and within see what Clarity calls the heart of Phobos. Marcus, Mickey, Tibby and Billy feel the energy of Phobos inside them respond to the same energy below but For Skye however Phobos’ energy feels like rage, like an enemy to her own.

Clarity continues her explanation of the lengths she has gone to maintain the heart and the town, bringing up that every 7 years a new Clarity is sacrificed to Phobos, until Clarence escaped. Fueled the pent-up feelings and rage Skye feels toward Clarity as she continued to talk, Skye steps forward and kicks Clarity Prime off the edge of the cliff. Marcus runs forward and dives for her, just managing to catch her but the weight almost pulls him over as well. Mickey pushes her wheelchair forward and reaches for Marcus as Tibby grabs a hold of her wheelchair to weigh it down. Below however Marcus’ power activates and his mind is flooded with Clarity’s memories
