I guess Larry was never trained in unpairing the robot?

That part remains unclear.

Larry is dead set on completing Heck and Naldos mission as planned.

The folding they need to travel on will appear that night over the farm for ten minutes.

), the STF there can help the girls get back to their own time.

No one else is having any of that.

Theyre going with Tiffs plan, shes decided.

The way Erin is just beaming with pride here will break your heart.

Its so cute but it is short-lived.

Weve got a bunch of angst to deal with first!

First, adult Erin has to put out a fire with her sister, Missy.

Now, I dont fully buy that any of this is necessary Erin really cant think of any excuse?

Its cringey and beautiful all at once.

You cant erase 20 years of resentment in one afternoon, she responds.

She just doesnt get it.

But how could she, really adult Erin hasnt been exactly truthful about their falling out.

Its not just the Erins who have some pre-folding drama: KJ refuses to leave without Mac.

She steals Larrys motorbike and races off to Dylans house after finding his address online.

(Computers have all the maps you could even need, and that is blowing the girls minds.)

What she doesnt realize is that Mac is off having a nice little day with her brother.

Sure, theyre setting off fireworks and goofing around, but things also turn serious.

He knows how lucky they are to get this second chance, even if he doesnt understand it.

Hes going to adopt her and verify she gets the life she deserves.

Mac can only keep her tough girl bravado up for so long and they hug.

Not to be dramatic, but Dylan Coyle M.D.

Sadly, that hug could be the last Mac sees of 2019 Dylan.

KJ bolts and heads to the Chilis nearby where she knows Mac, Dylan, and his daughters are.

She doesnt even have time to say good-bye.

Mac breaking down on the back of the bike?

Thats going to leave a mark.

Mac and KJ make it back to the farm just as the folding opens up.

They have ten minutes to get in the robot and go.

Prioress is still on their tail.

and he is not pleased.

Dylan explains that Alice was the only one there for both Mac and Dylan once Mac got sick.

Erin gets her first period.

Im sorry, but no one has a worse first-period story than that.
