Episode Recap

Stockwell briefs the others on the Nazis. They split up, Stockwell and Dillon going to destroy the missile, Jamie and Troy going to get Xavier.

A pair of Nazis notice Stockwell and Dillon and give chase, so Dillon stuns them. Stockwell heads off to blow up the rocket with plastic explosives but Dillon stuns him and goes to do it himself.

Troy and Jamie appear near Xavier in the bunker. Xavier tells Troy that he is too late and that the rocket is about to be launched. He warns that he will expose them to the Nazi guards. Troy and Jamie engage their clocks to hide. Jamie's clock malfunctions and she becomes visible so Xavier grabs her and tries to use her as a bargaining chip against Troy.

The missile launches. Dillon shoots the rocket with his weapon and blows it up.

The Nazi commander announces Xavier to be a spy and orders him to be taken outside and shot immediately. Troy and Jamie, still in their Nazi uniforms, take Xavier away.

Stockwell and Jamie watch helplessly as Nazi soldiers herd refugees onto trains bound for concentration camps. Major Stockwell asks Jamie who she and the guys are. Jamie tells him that he is better off not knowing but he demands to know. She is about to tell him when the Nazi soldiers are alerted by Troy and Dillon riding through the town on their cycles, blasting away. Jamie and Stockwell use the diversion to help the refugees escape into the woods while the guys fly off.

One of the refugees thanks Jamie but points out the hopelessness of the situation, that the soldiers will just catch them soon. Jamie tells him that the soldiers will be too busy now because in a few hours, it will be D-Day.

The Nazi commander gets word that the Allies have landed in Normandy and orders the soldiers rounded, ignoring the prisoners.

Jamie and the Guys say their farewells to Stockwell and fly off on the cycles. Stockwell gathers the refugees and leads them into the woods.

They return to the Viper where they have left Xavier bound. They untie him to prepare to return to the present but Xavier ducks under the ship and disappears as he engages a clock. Leaving him behind, they get into their Vipers and go back to the present time.

Jamie is disappointed that she has a fantastic story that she cannot tell. They stop in a diner where they see that they have made the front page as criminals, with her listed as their accomplice.

Billy runs into the field and finds the Vipers have returned.

Troy and Dillon escort Jamie to the bus and say their farewells. A policeman drives into the lot and asks them if they need any help. They thank him and leave. The policeman gets out and buys a newspaper, then seeing them on the front page, he jumps back into his car and gives chase. He follows them and is certain that they cannot get away, but the guys take flight and leave him in the dust.

Dillon and Troy return to the field to find their Vipers surrounded by the military. Colonel Sydell tells Billy not to tell anyone about the ships. Billy complains that the kids will tease him if he does not, but the colonel insists and leaves. Billy asks his father if he really has to keep the secret. His father says yes and sends him to get on the school bus. The guys watch as their Vipers are taken away.

Billy is teased by the other kids at school, taunting him that he is lying about seeing spaceships. A bully pushes him around. The kids run off. Billy gets up and sees Dillon and Troy. They tell him that they need to know where the ships are. Billy says that he was told not to tell anyone. They tell him that the ships belong to them and offer to help him with his bully problem. They give him an arm device and teach him how to become invisible.

Billy, now invisible, haunts the bully Tucker. He talks to him and tickles him. Tucker gets embarrassed in front of the other children and apologizes, warning him about next time.

Billy returns the arm device to Dillon. He tells them where the ships are and that the officer said that there were three ships. They thank him and give him a pin. They go to find their Vipers as Billy goes to show the others his new pin.

Boomer tells Adama that Xavier has escaped and that Dillon and Troy have returned to the current time-frame. Adama orders that they, along with all other Earth missions return until they can find Xavier. He calls Troy and asks if they know where he is. Troy does not know and warns that things are getting hostile, so Adama should not send another team.

Xavier watches a television which airs an interview between Mr. Brooks and Doctor Mortinson. Doctor Mortinson tells Mr. Brooks that he went with the young men voluntarily and was not kidnapped. Xavier asks a street vendor where the studio is. He asks how to get there, and is told to get in a yellow, checkered, or black-and-white cab. Xavier flags down a black-and-white car which turns out to be a police car. He gets in and tells them to take him to the studio because he needs to see Doctor Mortinson. The officers decide to take him since Doctor Mortinson is big news right now.

The police car arrives at the studio. Xavier gets out and tells the policemen that he does not need them anymore. They get suspicious and warn Doctor Mortinson when Xavier approaches him. Xavier tells Mortinson that he saw his interview but Mortinson wants proof that Xavier is who he says he is. Xavier promises to deliver proof and walks away. The police follow him but Xavier disappears. Mortinson gets in his car, followed by Xavier who gets in the back, invisible.

Mortinson has brought Xavier somewhere private to talk. Xavier has told Mortinson that Troy and Dillon are the bad guys and that they intend to go back in time to make changes to their own benefit.

Jamie tries to convince Mr. Brooks that Dillon and Troy are not kidnappers. He does not believe her and tells her that she may have been brainwashed. A call comes in for Jamie from Dillon. Mr. Brooks tells his secretary to have the call traced as he monitors on the other phone. Dillon tells her that Xavier is here and that they need to find Mortinson. He tells her that they will reach her and to stay where she is. Mr. Brooks asks for Mortinson and tells Jamie that he will help get her off the hook.

Xavier shows Mortinson various bad events in history books, blaming them on Troy and Dillon. Mortinson receives a call from Jamie who tells him about Xavier but Xavier cuts the phone cord and pulls out a weapon. Mr. Brooks asks Jamie who Xavier is. Jamie tells him that Xavier is the person that he thinks Troy and Dillon are. Mr. Brooks calls the police and Jamie runs out. She passes Dillon and Troy down in the lobby and the three of them get in a taxi.

That night, the Vipers are on the military base, surrounded by soldiers. A high-ranking officer orders that nobody is to be allowed near them until they can be taken away tomorrow. Troy, Dillon, and Jamie arrive at the base. Troy says that if they can get to the ships, they could drain some energy from the base to power the Vipers. Just then, one of them does begin draining the generator and they realize that Xavier is in one of the Vipers. Troy tells Jamie to distract the guards, so she makes a dash into the compound. When the guards chase her, Dillon and Troy sneak in and head for Xavier. Xavier shoots at them but misses. Troy tries to get to Xavier but Xavier launches the Viper and takes off. Soldiers rush out to catch Dillon and Troy, but the guys stun them and hop into the remaining Vipers. They charge their ships from the generators and prepare to take off. They notice Jamie in the back as they fly out of there. Colonel Sydell arrives at the compound with Doctor Mortinson. Nobody can explain what has happened.

Dillon and Troy track Xavier's Viper in space. Xavier is at full turbo and is about to travel through time. Troy contacts Xavier and tries to talk him out of it. Xavier tells him that he has no choice, and that altering Earth's past is their only hope. The guys shoot at him as he flies ahead. They hope that they got him.

The guys meet Adama in his quarters with Jamie. They discuss Xavier; apparently they missed him. Adama tells Jamie that they need to stop Xavier because he could make drastic changes to Earth. He says that Xavier has gone to the 18th century. They ask Jamie to help them catch Xavier and she agrees to help. Jamie makes a joke that maybe she can see first-hand Benjamin Franklin's "way with the ladies".
