## Episode Summary

In the woods, the dark figure that sneaked up on Savannah and made her scream turns out to be Ben playing a prank on her. As they argue about whether or not he scared her, they spot Griffin and Harper who came to investigate. After Ben reveals that he saw them the day before at the hotel, Griffin and Harper hide their identities by saying they are “Harry and Hermione,” stealing the names from *Harry Potter* which hadn't been published yet in 1990. Savannah stole containers of cherry powdered punch from the Tremont, and Griffin and Harper help her and Ben dump it into the springs as a prank to turn it blood red. As they head back, Griffin realizes that Ben really is his dad which means that he lied to Griffin about knowing Savannah since they were actually close friends at camp.

When they return, Harper and Griffin make plans to spend the following day (which is a Saturday) in the past. Harper sneaks back into her house to find Topher up late watching scary movies. He says he’s going to tell their mom, but she says if he does, she will tell on him for watching scary movies again. He seems like he’s scared to tell on her when she goes upstairs.

The next morning, Griffin and the twins wake up to find their dad trying to break down a wall. He found old blueprints of the hotel that showed a doorless room had been sealed up. Once Ben has broken through the wall, Zoey and Wyatt say they feel a cold breeze and Sarah asks them to go outside with her while Griffin helps his dad explore the abandoned room, which seems to be a workshop full of old recording equipment and radios. Griffin presses play on a reel-to-reel tape recorder and they hear a girl singing a song. His dad freaks out and tries to turn the recorder off but when that doesn't work he pulls the plug. Ben then tells Griffin that they should get out of the secret room because it’s not safe in there.

When Griffin and Harper return to the past, they see the manager of the Tremont walking through the woods telling a female camp counselor (Becky) that they had to close the springs as a result of the red punch prank. When he demands to know who was behind the prank, the counselor reveals that it was Ben and Savannah who were caught red-handed. The manager hopes that she took disciplinary action and the counselor said that of course she did but she doubts it will be any deterrent to those two. As Griffin and Harper head to the camp, they pass a group of kids singing and Griffin recognizes it as the same song that was on the tape in the secret room.

Finding Savannah painting a bridge red, Harper offers to help her while Griffin goes off to find Ben in a hammock. Griffin learns that Ben’s dad left for the city and that the snake prank they saw him pull when they first met him was also Savannah’s idea. Meanwhile, Harper learns that Savannah never goes to the same summer camp twice because she's a foster kid. After Savannah leaves to get them each a popsicle, Harper comes face-to-face a girl who clearly doesn’t like Savannah and introduces herself as Jessica, who everyone calls Jess.

On their way back to the hatch, Harper is upset that her mother never told her that she knew both Ben and Savannah and that she went to camp. She also mentions that it seems Jess has a crush on Ben, something which she and Griffin both find disturbing. Harper then admits that the situation is more complicated than she had thought and that changing the past might be dangerous. Griffin tells Harper that he’s worried that saving Savannah could change their present in ways that make it so that they never meet and go through the hatch. He insists that they tell their mothers what's been going on and show them the tunnel, the bunker and the hatch. As Griffin goes back through the house, he overhears the twins talking about how they’ve mapped all the cold spots in the house. Their dad says it’s just a drafty old house and it’s not haunted as Griffin heads to the garden to find his mom. Sarah gets upset when Griffin tells her that his dad is lying to them about not knowing Savannah and suspects that this is something that Harper told him. Sarah doesn't give Griffin a chance to tell her anything else before she forbids him from talking to Harper and sends him inside to take a shower and do some homework before dinner.

At the café, Harper finds out that Topher told their mom that she was out late the night before and she gets in trouble for going back to The Tremont. When Harper asks her mom if she ever went to the camp, Jess tells her no and gets defensive when she keeps asking. That night, Harper sneaks out again and back into The Tremont, climbing an oak tree and entering through the open window in the room where the twins are sleeping. She finds Griffin in his room and they tell each other what happened with their moms. They agree that his dad and her mom are both covering something up. That’s when Griffin's bedroom door starts to open by itself and they think it’s the ghost of Savannah.

## Trivia

* They don't say the name, but the punch the kids use is clearly Kool-aid as it does stain your hands when using it.

* Early in this episode, during their second visit to 1990, Harper and Griffin see a sign stating that the Camp Dance will be on August 19th. Harper states that, if they are exactly 30 years in the past, then Savannah will go missing in only a few days. This indicates that, in their native 2020, it is also only a few days before August 19th.
	+ Harper's statement that "Tomorrow's Saturday" indicates that it was a Friday night when she and Griffin went on their second trip into the past. In 2020, the last day in August before the 19th that was a Saturday was August 15th. This indicates that their second trip took place on Friday, August 14th. This also means that Griffin and Harper met and went on their first time travel trip on Thursday, August 13th.

* Harper tells Griffin that she got into the Tremont via an oak tree outside the twins' room, a statement that implies that the twins share a bedroom. However, the fact that Wyatt was shown sleeping on the floor while Zoey was in the bed strongly suggests that there was no bed for Wyatt in that room, implying that they were only sleeping in the same room because of their mutual fear of the ghost.
