There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They fell through a portal and got lost in the 80s. And now their time? is running out.

to the Seattle Tacoma International Airport. Now exiting the Seattle Tacoma International Airport. On behalf of the entire SeaTac staff, we extend a warm welcome to all passengers arriving at our terminal today. And a fond farewell to Katie Cavendish, fresh off her red eye and stumbling to the nearest taxi. Where to, kid? Hi! Um, do you accept Deutschmarks as a form of payment? Don't listen to her! She doesn't need a ride! Thanks, though! Bye!

Don't you have a flight to catch? Uh-huh, in nine hours. You sure seem to be in a hurry to get away, though. Back to the home I haven't been in since I was six? How rude of me. Now, if you'll excuse me. Hey, use your hand. Would you stop doing that? No, you're not. Unless you're an even bigger jerk than I thought. How am I a jerk? You knew I was staying in Seattle. But I didn't know you'd bolt off the plane and hop in a cab without so much as a nice singing with you. Was it, though? Look.

We've said all there is to say. The end has to come eventually. And, well, it's here. In or out, ladies. Later, Alaska. I honestly hope you get back everything you lost. Cyrus, your family, Time, even your mom. I'm sure she's out there somewhere missing you, too. Meter's running. 23rd Avenue Northwest and Ballard, please. Katie, wait! There you go, Brindley. She's right. It has to end sometime. You'll never get through to her anyway. Focus on getting to Juno and finding Cyrus and...

Is the prisoner inside? I'm not at liberty to say. How about you open the door for me so I can see for myself? Uh, uh, of course. Go right in. Hey, Cyrus. Yikes, you look mad. Listen, I get you don't want to be in this place, but don't take it out on me. Don't take it out on you? You're literally the person who brought me here. You gave yourself up, remember?

Didn't expect they'd stick me in the nursery. Do you know what that place is like? I do, actually. Oh. You've been here at Whittier Corp a long time? Just about as long as I can remember. Northwest? Which house? Actually, can you pull over here? See that other taxi up ahead? It's parked in front of my grandmother's house. Mom, you want to go see your granny? Yes, maybe. Not yet. Can we just wait here for now?

Suit yourself like the meter's running. So weird. I remember her house being gray, not yellow. She must have had it painted. Oh, look! See that girl getting out of the cab? She lives there. Only she was taken away 10 years ago. Taken, like, kidnapped? Kinda, sorta. But she's safe now and she's finally home. And the coolest part? My grandma isn't expecting her, so it's a surprise reunion. Isn't that so awesome? There she goes!

She's headed up the walkway. Oh no. She stopped. Is she crying? Huh. She does have a heart. Go on, Katie. You can do it. She did it! My grandma's about to open the door and see her for the first time after all these years. Ooh, the door's opening. Wait, I can't see my grandma, can you? Oh, here she comes. She's stepping onto the porch. She's... She's... Wait, who the heck is that? Why are you here, Angel?

I came to deliver a message. From who? From me! I'm listening. Okay, whatever Whittier is offering you, don't take it. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it. Why not? Because J.P. Whittier is a monster. I don't make deals with monsters. What did he do to you? Not to me. To my sister. Angel, you know better than to be in here. The guard let me in.

And we both know why. But I... Out. We'll discuss this later. Later. Sure. How'd you sleep, Cyrus? Oh, just great. Who wouldn't enjoy sleeping where you conduct experiments on children? We had an empty bed. Now, can we talk candidly? You tell me. Why do you need my help? You have questions about where I came from? You're such a genius. Figure it out.

You're right, Cyrus. It's unfair of me to demand honesty from you when I can't offer you the same. Send her in. What? Cyrus, I'd like to introduce you to someone very dear to me. Holiday? Who's Holiday? My name is Adelaide. Now that you've listened to this week's episode, head on over to the GZM Rewind feed to hear me and the creators talk with special guests, including cast members and super fans. GCM Shows.
