Warning: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!

Continuing their search for their son, Cassie and Cole find his house and begin looking for clues as to where or when he is. What they find by being snoopy parents and reading his journals, is that he's been moving randomly through time.

Athan (The Witness) has gone a LOT of places. He's been to ancient Rome, watched a few world wars, and had himself QUITE an education. And he's journaled all of it. And then, at one point, in 1891 - he got stuck…

When his suit stopped working in 1891, Athan needed to get a piece made for it. And while waiting for that to happen, the shop was held up by someone in a mask.

The thief turned out to be a doctor named Eliza, and while the part for Athan's splinter suit is going to take some time, he's decided he wants to know her better.

Meanwhile, back in 2046, Jennifer Goines has been using her time locked up to make some pretty impressive drawings and discoveries. Jones needs her help, but Jennifer just says cryptically that it's the end of the story.

When Athan returns to Eliza's hospital, he finds that she's fallen sick with a staph infection. He takes her back to his home and though she would have been killed normally, a few antibiotics ands he's okay...and starting to see something in him.

Thus begins the great love of Athan's life. Like all love stories, it's out of time, transformative, and crazy charming.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Goines is still going out of her damn mind. Visited by the visions of two of her previous selves, Jennifer is told to listen to the voices in her head of the other primaries, who are trying to tell her something. She knows she has to "save the dying man" and get to a mausoleum.

After Jennifer bangs her head on the floor, Deacon and Jones decide that she's worthless. But Deacon can't bear to kill her again (remember that?) - so they decide to send her away to the place where she wants most - home.

Athan has a hard time believing that he'll turn into The Witness. In his journal and to Eliza, he confesses that he only met his father as an adult one time (He traveled tot he early 2040's). They shared a can of beans and Athan decided his father was a brutal killer and a loser.

And then the worst - leaving Athan's home one night, Eliza is jumped by all the criminals she'd robbed in the past. They slit her throat and Athan is too late to stop them.

So Athan does what he does best - he fixes the suit and then goes back in time to save her. She is shocked to learn he's a time traveler.

Turns out, Eliza is the one labeled "E" in the watch that Cassie has! He couldn't let her die, and just as he's about to smash the splinter suit to stay in London in the 1800s forever…

Eliza dies again. He goes back in and tries to save her 607 times. But every time, she dies. Of a deep vein thrombosis. Turns out Athan even tried to get help from…

Cassie Railly. Athan paid a visit to his mother on the day she lost her first patient. He asked for her medical advice and it still didn't help, instead she made him realize that time always wins. Was Cassie the one responsible for making him finally accept his fate as The Witness and return to Titan?

Before she goes, Jones takes a moment to tell Jennifer Goines that because she returned Hannah to her, she will always be grateful. Jennifer, broken, beaten and battered, goes to the splinter machine, and just before she goes - winks. Smiles. Because Jennifer Goines is WILY, team.

Finally, as The Witness prepares to go back to Titan, Cassie and Cole turn up for one last time to try and stop their son.
