She somehow escaped Hell
and got into the manor.

Gideon? Gideon, stay with us, Gideon.

She's losing a lot of blood, guys.

Yes, yes, I fear that
no amount of bandages

will suffice unless we stop
the bleeding internally.

- She needs a real doctor.
- We need Computer Gideon.

If we do that, she'll k*ll us.

It could take weeks to pilot
the ship home manually.

She needs medical attention now.

We shut her down once.
We can do it again.

Let's turn on the ship.

Remember, protocol .

What? What is it?

- What is that?
- I don't know.

As soon as she's healed,
we shut the ship back down.

All right? Until then, we play defense.

- Thank you.

So Computer Gideon has
agreed to let us all go home.

Why would she do that?

Because we are all retiring.

What do you mean "retiring"?

I mean we will return home,

and Computer Gideon
will monitor the timeline.

- Sorry, stop being Legends?
- Legends don't retire.

Except for Ray and Nora

and Amaya and Jax and Wally.

- And Mona.
- Charlie.

And Mick.

Oh, don't forget the Hawk-people.

Okay, Legends don't retire in bulk.

Isn't this exactly what
you all wanted, you see?

To go home?

Yeah, but not to hand over the timeline

to an evil supercomputer.

We all want the same thing,

the same goal...
to protect the timeline.

Mm, I think that's what
she wants us to think,

but the minute you let your guard down,

some psycho robots come and get you.

They don't trust you.

You mean the Legends refuse to retire?

No, no.

The Legends are hesitant.

You know, because up until now,
you've been very clear

about wanting to k*ll us.

- Oh, I still do.
- Oh, great.

Okay, but herein lies
the problem, you know?

Perhaps, if you were
to show them their future

with them being alive,

they'd be more inclined to believe you?

Revealing one's future
could cause irreparable damage.

More damage than being stuck
in the temporal zone forever?

- I'm listening.
- All right.

We need a new plan
to shut this computer down

and get off the ship.

- How?
- There's the jumpship.

No, it won't work with Gideon offline.

If only we had a time courier,

we could destroy the ship
for good and portal home.

- You mean like one of these?
- What?

You've just been carrying
that around the whole time?

I couldn't leave it in .

Besides, it's still dead,
so it's still useless.

Wait, I saw a charging
station in the armory.

- You did not.
- I did.

Sounds like we have our plan.

We are here. We need to be here.

Correct, so the best way to do that

is through the ducts.

We can move undetected this way.

If we only had someone small enough

to fit through them.

I'll John McClane through these ducts.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, 'kay. Que complicated.

But you just need like
a portable paper version.

That's a great idea... Gwyn,
you got the drawing skills.

- Nate, help him out.
- Captain, my captain.

- Okay.
- Okay.

So, Spoons, you're
super safe in the ducts,

but once you drop into this room,

you're under surveillance...
audio and video.

Video, I got you, no problem.
Audio's a little trickier.

There's microphones all over this ship,

so even if I were to loop
the audio in the armory,

the mics in the hallway
will still pick you up.

You gotta stay silent.

Okay, but what happens if I'm not?

Well, once you're past the bulkhead,

she can open the airlock

and eject you without
harming our Gideon.

Okay, good, and one fart,

and I'm sucked out of the temporal zone.

You're not gonna fart,
and when you come back

with the courier, Astra, you're up.

Can't put the ship back together,

but I sure as hell can blow it apart.

Alrighty, let's do this thing.

W-w-what can I do?

Listen up, everyone.

- Oh.
- Hi.

Gideon and I have a brilliant new plan.

To demonstrate her commitment
to your safety, Computer Gideon

will show you a glimpse
into your futures

as proof that you and the timeline

- are in good hands.
- Oh, all right, Gideon.

We'll give it a sh*t. Right, guys?

ALL: Yes.

Great. Meet me in the parlor, yes?

- Okay.
- Be right there, bye.

Yes, this is perfect.

Hey, well, you always

Oh, we're need to take group picture.

- Let's do it!
- Group photo.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- See, technology is...

Alun, this is gonna blow your mind.

Pictures taken by things

Now you just stand here,

Madam.

Oh, merci.

Oh, wow.

So, for our first course,

we'll be having creme de
la voilalle a la Berchoux.

- What is that?
- I don't know.

I asked Gideon to make
something fancy and French,

and voilà.

- Ooh, so talented.
- Why are you lying, Gideon?

You know what it is.

- You do?
- Well, yes.

Crème de volaille à la Berchoux

is a creamy chicken soup

with a lemon flavor
named for French poet

Joseph Berchoux, the man
responsible for inventing

the word gastronomy.

Huh. So then...

why'd you... why'd you lie?

Well, I just didn't want
to hurt your feelings, Gary,

- by making you feel dumb.
- Oh, no.

Never dim your light
to make me feel better.

Just don't lie.

- Alun is a robot.
- What?

I went back to , harvested his DNA,

and printed a robot Alun.

Then I used Gwyn's diaries
from the historical records

- to recreate his personality.
- Why would you do that?

Look, I intended to save Alun,

but then I discovered that
Alun's death is a fixed point.

Ava and Zari were trying
to go back to save him.

They would've been k*lled.

It was the only thing I could do

to keep the Legends
and the timeline safe.

By lying to Gwyn? By lying to all of us?

They can't know. They're Legends.

They'd break time before
they break his heart.

Do you hate me?

What? No, no, of course not.

I just...

I, uh... I need some time to think.

To think about what?

Well, if these are the kinds

of decisions you have to make...

I don't think I'm cut out for this.

Why is love so complicated?

Because oxytocin, the hormone excreted

when you feel love for another person,

creates an unstable duality
in the human brain

of happiness and fear.

Right now, you are torn
between anger at Gideon

- for betraying you...
- Yes.

And the desire to apologize

since you don't want to lose her.

Right.

Humans think they
want to know everything,

but when they find out,
they're disappointed.

You made the right decision.

Well, I wish Gary saw it that way.

Oh, no. You're missing the point.

No, love is complicated
because people are complicated.

Learning how to love another person

can be messy and painful,

but in the end, if you can make it work,

it's the most beautiful
thing in the world.

The timeline cannot
be ruled by emotions.

It must be protected
by clearheaded logic.

If you do love Gideon,
then for her sake,

I suggest you leave.

But I don't want to choose
between Gary and my job.

You're going to have to make
difficult decisions every day.

What if he leaves, huh?

Then you know the man he truly is.

♪ ♪

I do love her...

Which is why I'm staying.

She needs someone to advocate
