*Thursday* is the thirteenth episode of the third season of QIA.

## Summary

Two versions of the same day unfold, with drastically different outcomes.

## Blurb

"Today’s going to be an important day." - Enora Gallou

When dealing with time travel, there are always uncertainties - but this is going to be one day that could make or break lives, save or destroy the London Hub, and determine the fate of the future. But in the world of the QIA, where only one version of events should be allowed to exist, what happens when everything that could go wrong, does? Agent Sarah Cunnington is about to find out...

## Synopsis

### Sarah in blue/black

During a meeting with Enora, Cameron Campbell and Andrew Wesker, Zoey discloses what she has learned - that Sarah is the 'Plague Doctor' who murdered Alicia Karalis. Subsequently, Sarah is arrested by John Turner, while Campbell uses it as leverage to finally dismantle the London Hub. Hafiz and Tom walk out, while Ethan and Iulya pursue the VERITAS lead, ultimately discovering that it had been sent by Will Bradley, whom Ethan recognises as Sarah's new boyfriend. He and Iulya arrange a meeting with Will after Ethan poses as Miranda Davenport, but when Will arrives, Ethan becomes angry (and jealous), and murders Will. Meanwhile, Sarah's solicitor tells her that she has little chance with her case.

During all of this, escaped quantum terrorist Erika Tod has infiltrated the Hub, disabled the Eye and released everyone currently incarcerated in the Void. With everything going terribly wrong, Enora gathers the team for a desperate attempt at correcting everything - by breaking Sarah out of police custody and sending her back in time with a warning. With help from Rupa Shaw, they succeed in doing so, and Sarah leaves a warning for her past self. As the timeline changes, the broken Sarah ceases to exist.

### Sarah in green

Armed with the warning from the alternate timeline, Sarah appeals to Zoey and explains the situation. She also identifies Erika, who is arrested before she can do any damage. Investigation reveals that the VERITAS email came from Will Bradley - who has been posing as Sarah's new boyfriend. Reluctantly, she agrees to continue with the pretence to see who is behind his actions. Meanwhile, Enora resolves to deal with Erika by framing her for the murder of Alicia Karalis, and Erika is arrested by John Turner. However, Erika escapes custody again and, seeking revenge, threatens first Anthony and then Hafiz, before settling for Wesker. Wesker however attempts to subdue her, but in the process she uses her powers to make him kill himself. Hafiz then shoots Erika dead as well. However, with Erika dead, Sarah is now finally free of any possible conviction for the Alicia Karalis murder.

## Trivia

*Thursday* is a unique episode in that almost all scenes are preceded with an additional sub-heading of 'Sarah in green', 'Sarah in blue' or 'Sarah in black', while approximately half of the episode takes place in an alternate timeline which is, ultimately, overwritten.

This episode marks the first appearance of Oliver Kingsley (albeit in an alternate timeline only), as well as the death of Andrew Wesker. It also features, uncredited, Rupa Shaw, Ben Scallon, Dietrich Kruger, Anthony Burt and Leigh Selvin.
