“Before we get back to the show, I wanted to talk to you real quick about GZM subscriptions.”
Now some of you might cringe at that word and say, "Ugh, subscriptions." And for those folks, I want to ask you something. Do you have a Netflix account? I don't know about you, but I have a Netflix account to get ad-free shows. What's the difference?
Don't think of it as subscribing to anything.
Think of it as paying for ad-free shows.
Perfect for binging episode after episode without interruption. Just like Netflix. Plus with us, you get other perks too. Go to gzmshoes.com/subscribeurs to find out more. Help us bring you more great shows by becoming a subscriber.
I mean, by getting a GZM account today. There are kids in this world who are different, special. One of them found us and became family. And our time, for an hour, and now that girl is missing. And Jolika Grace, you're my mom's boss.
Technically true, Cyrus, but it goes a bit deeper than that between you and me. Have we met before? Very good question, Cyrus. You met a long time ago. Some would say in a different life, but I'm glad I ran into you.
You're not here looking for me. You're not hard to find, Cyrus. I'm looking for a classmate of yours. His name is Penn. Perhaps you've seen him?
Penn. Hmm. No, that doesn't ring a bell. But we were just about. Don't blame the robot, Cyrus.
I know for a fact you had a run-in with young Penn when you were at Whittier Corp for the Halloween party. Did I, my memory from that night, is pretty hazy on account of being frozen in a block of ice. Yes.
What about that, too? Apologies. Uh, you know. Oh, that there are ways to make my memory clearer. Such as?
“I was thinking I'd remember more if I had access to a lab at Whittier Corp.”
You want me to give you a lab? For what purpose? To work on my robotics projects, advance the cause of science. Oh, and I'd need my mom taking off lead, of course. So we could work together.
Cyrus and Monica Anders working together at Whittier Corp. History does have a way of repeating itself. What does that mean? Nothing. So let's say I do grant you access to one of our labs.
What do I get in return? Will you help deliver Penn to me? On a silver platter. I'm not sure I totally believe you, but I'm willing to take the chance for all the time sake.
Holden time? You've got yourself a deal.
I'll see you first thing in the morning.
And this time, let's do things the proper way. Shall we check in with security? Yes, ma'am. Ma'am. It really is good to see you, Cyrus.
It feels like stepping back in time.
Maybe I'll even treat you to a warm pretzel one day.
Oh, pretzel?
Are you as confused as I am?
Oh, yeah. No reception in the stairwell. Bring me why are you staring at me? Is something wrong? No.
“You are kind of giving him the stink eye.”
Okay, so the thing is, I've been seeing stuff. I don't know why I'm telling either of you this. I don't even know you. Look, we both just saw Badger run like a million miles an hour. Feels like that's a nice breaker.
What have you been seeing, really? They're like memories. But memories of things. I don't remember. Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
Maybe they're more like visions of a different life. What kind of life? Let me tag in here. My family has this theory that the world is not right. That my sister holiday disappeared and everything changed.
A holiday? How did she disappear?
Well, it's more like she was never here at all.
Okay, again, kind of lost. The point is the world shifted and it wasn't supposed to. None of us remembers the world as it used to be, but we can kind of feel what's missing. It's different. Oh.
In that case, I've been having weird feelings like that, too. You have?
“Maybe it explains why I can't remember where I came from, or why I have super speed.”
Anyway, the reason I was staring at you is because my last vision, you were in it. And I think you were my brother. Yes, maybe, but maybe not really. I wanted you to be my brother, but you weren't really my brother. Just what I thought it couldn't get any more confusing.
Anyway, thank you for saving me from what you're a court. You're welcome. Sis? Now we need to find Cyrus.
The child catchers are coming from both directions.
Did you pull them child catchers? Just a little nickname we have for them on the inside. Charming. Come on. Into the main gem.
Ah. Guess they started up the dance again. Can't let her raid spoil a good time, right? Come on, Hansel. Come on.
Where? On to the dance floor. Hide amongst travelers. Okay? What do we do now?
Dance, I guess. I don't know how to dance. Are you? Oh, they had to take some lessons as part of our training, but Magnus was my partner and accidentally gave me frostbite.
Eggs? Well, I guess I can't do any worse than that. Although, that does bring up an interesting dilemma.
“How do we keep your power from triggering my power?”
Yeah. I guess we just concentrate on not activating. Okay. I can drive. Let's take it easy.
I'll get two clothes. Okay. But, it's kind of hard to slow dance without any contact. Like I said, take it easy. Right.
I'll catch yours. What do we do? You put your head on my shoulder. I'll put my head on yours. Okay.
Look once. Look once. Look once. Look once. Cyrus.
Cyrus, where are you? Oh, does someone open a window? Can see my breath. No. Not again.
Six MS, the B-Wing Corridor is secured. Heading to... Hello there, really. Stay your way Elsa, I mean it. Whoa!
Oops. Floor gets kind of slick when it's frozen. Oh. What do you mean? Oh!
I tell you to freeze, but seems like you're going to do that all on your own. Come on, I'm going to take a bite. I'm not going to take a bite. You're ready? Mark, yes, I'm here.
I'm here to help you.
Right away, sir. Ridley? Always a pleasure. So cold.
Where does this elevator go, Dr. Wittier?
The elevator will take us down to your quarters. Down? How far exactly? Far enough. Ah, here we are.
And look who it is. Ivan, please say hello to my friend, holiday. Greetings, holiday. Oh, you're big and metal. Sorry if I startled you.
I know that robots can sometimes be unsettling. Oh, I don't have that problem. Good. In that case, welcome to where your group tower. Thanks, Ivan.
I know I said it before, but I'm very pleased you've agreed to be my guest. I passed out and you loaded me onto your helicopter. I didn't have much choice. Once you woke up, you could have tried to escape. You chose not to.
Huh.
Looks like you're building a lot of stuff down here.
Labs, training facilities. That's right. Is that? Keep walking, please. Ivan, get the door 436A if you would mind.
Love you. What was that? Nothing. Here you go, it's holiday. Thank you.
Now, this is where you'll be staying. I know they aren't the most luxurious of accommodations,
“but I think it's best we keep you somewhere fairly private.”
You don't want your employees to see the girl that looks like your daughter. So you stashed her 20 floors underground. Hopefully you won't be here long, but if this arrangement isn't acceptable... It's fine. Holiday, what happened?
Happened? Between us. After all, you're my daughter. What happened in the last few years to make you look at me the way you do? With such disdain.
Has that much change between us? Don't touch me. Sorry. I know that things were tense after Monica and Cyrus and his left, but I thought once you were healthy, we were able to start a new.
Please, I don't want this to be our future. Tell me what I can do to avoid it. I'd like to be alone if you don't mind. As you wish. I'll stay behind, in case she needs anything sir.
Thank you, Ivan. holiday? I'll see you soon. Can I get you something to keep this holiday? No.
I'm good, Ivan. You can go. Are you sure? Actually. Hang on a sec.
Do you happen to have a voice recording function? Of course.
“Would it be possible for me to record a message for someone?”
I know he'll probably never hear it, but I don't have a phone.
And back in the day, talking always helped me figure things out. Starting recording. Hey, Dr. Farb, I mean, hey, sir. Sorry. We'll have it.
You won't believe where I am right now. Or maybe you would believe it. I could really use you big brother. But it looks like a voice memo in a giant robot as the best I can do. I miss you so much.
I miss everyone back home. Brinley? Are you down here? Melting. Ice.
Brinley. Oh no. Brinley. He looks frozen. What did they do to you?
Come on, Brinley. Wake up. Come on. Warm up. Warm up.
That's it. Here, Brinley. You're going to be okay. Come back to me. You can do this. I think she's waking up. Cyrus.
Yes. Yes, it's me. You're okay. Oh, you're okay. Cyrus. Brinley, your skin is so cold. And you're so warm.
They're kissing. Let's see. Got to spend time with River and Sam again. Although here there are James and Monica, which only makes it weirder. Oh, I saw Grandma. That was nice.
Even if she did rat me out to Dr. Wittier.
“I believe we need to cut this rewarding short.”
Okay. What's going on? I've not been told to notice with you all today. What do you mean?
I was asked to stay with you.
By Dr. Wittier? No. Come in. It's true. Oh no.
Um, do you know who I am? This is not happening. Why do you look like me? Um...
