Eureka s04e07 Episode Script
Stoned
It was just a normal day in Eureka: Day's not over yet.
Yeah, like that was gonna last.
Hello, 1947.
Confused? Let me clarify.
The five of us got transported back in time Through some wormhole thingy thanks to the bridge device.
We eventually found our way back home, But, surprise, home wasn't exactly the way we left it.
Henrymarried.
Zane and Jonever dated.
But Jo's in charge of G.
D.
Security.
Kevindifferent, much to Allison's surprise.
And Fargo the head of Global Dynamics, Much to everyone's surprise.
Oh, and Dr.
Old Spice hitched a ride back with us To the present.
But there was one crappy rule.
We can't tell anyone.
If anyone found out about our trip, There'd be in trouble.
Some of us had a harder time with it than other I'm not your Henry, not yet.
It's way off target and that's a residential area.
That was Jo's house, So she's living with me for a while.
And I finally kissed Allison But, of course, Dr.
Charles Grant Had to get in the way.
At least let me buy you a drink.
One drink.
Don't plan the wedding just yet.
May the best man win.
But that's Eureka for you Same town, big changes.
You know, I think I like the hair.
You look very mature.
Yeah, and it really sells The fake I.
D.
to the bars in Cambridge.
Kidding.
Unclench.
Yeah.
So when does Lucas come back from M.
I.
T.
? He's not.
Internship in Geneva, which isn't a bad thing.
You guys having trouble? That would make it a lot easier.
No.
It's just he's a great guy, But, you know, college changes you What you want, who you want.
Oh, that's not, hair boy.
You know, maybe what starts in the friend zone Should stay in the friend zone.
- Sheriff.
Hey, Zoe.
- Hey, Zane! - Looking good.
- Thanks.
That's my girl! That's my girl.
Hey! Jenna's gotten so big.
Allison seems so happy.
Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
Fresh baked cinnamon roll, raisin-free and icing-rich, Just the way you like it.
Welcome home.
Aw, thanks, Vin! It's so good to be back.
I think I'll have one.
Thanks, Vince.
You bet.
Okay, sothough I think some Of the greatest romances in history Started in the friend zone.
Like what? And tv characters do not count.
So you ready for spa day? I've got us booked For shangri-la facials and mani-pedis.
Shangri-la facials? Well, this doesn't happen by magic, my friend.
I can't wait.
So what are yoguys talking about? Whether it's better to stay with someone safe but dull Or take a risk on someone new.
I thinkI think newer isn't always better.
You've already found someone new.
That obvious? Well, nothing's happened yet.
We've just been holo-skyping.
But he's funny and smart and so hot.
Yeah, and I think that's my cue to leave.
I'll meet you outside.
Funny, smart, and hot Sounds like a trifecta.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, he's a little bit older.
If he makes you happy, go for it.
Life's short.
And everything can change in a blink.
Oh, it's my contractor.
Wait till you see the plans for my new house.
Zimmer, what's going on? Let me get your coat.
Thank you.
A gentleman always takes street side.
Were all men as chivalrous in your day? If they wanted a chance with a gal like you, they were.
Well, I say we need more men like you in 2010.
You know what we didn't have in my day? Coffee like this.
I enjoyed the highballs the other night.
- The drinks.
- Oh, yes! So did I.
Thank you.
How about we go crazy next time and make it dinner? Well Hey, guys.
Why aren't you catching up on 60 years of fun facts? 'cause I find the present far more alluring.
That's great.
I need you Police business.
Could take a while.
Okay, sport.
Ladies.
To be continued.
"Police business"? Ah, all my business is police business.
So what's up, Carter? Well, it's Really more of a longer conversation.
Maybe you and I could grab a bite? I just ate.
No, not "Just ate.
" No, later.
Like, say, dinner? Oh, okay, well, Kevin's gonna be at dre's.
And I have the nanny tonight.
Yeah, sure.
What time? - Say 8:00? - Yeah.
That sounds good.
Okay.
Hey, Jenna, say good-bye to Carter.
Say bye-bye.
Bye.
Why'd it take me four years to do that? Well, tell him if he doesn't move that thing today, I will move it for him.
They haven't even poured the foundation for my house, Which means that I get to keep living With the both of you And S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
And her mechanical boyfriend.
And, oh, my God, I need my own space.
Mechanical boyfriend? S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
's been spending time With deputy Andy.
Your house is getting more action than either of us.
I try not to think about it.
So what's what's the holdup On the swinging new bachelorette pad? Some pinhead named thurgood found a fossil on the site And shut down construction.
Wait, Derek? Derwho's Derek? Dr.
Derek thurgood.
He taught my paleoanthropology class Last year at Tesla.
The guy's a genius.
Really? Well, why don't you come and watch me kick His smart ass off my property? Well, let's.
You don't know what a big deal this is.
You'll just have to give us more time.
You have had three days to move it.
Well, I was working on it, But this little intimidation stunt of yours Isn't helping you.
Hey, Zoe, welcome back.
Congratulations, Derek.
This is really cool.
Oh, really cool.
So take your fancy laser shovel and haul it back to G.
D.
That's a delicate process, and it can't be rushed.
Besides, who knows what else we might find here? What exactly did we find here? The distal phalange Of a 15,000-year-old pre-clovis culture hominid.
A pinky! That's it? That's a big deal, dad.
Come on.
Then remove it.
Well, I would, but, boss lady Zimmer Thought it would be funny to push me into flash-crete.
- Into what now? - It's flash-crete.
P.
V.
A.
enhanced molecular-bonding concrete.
Three-second set time.
And he fell into it.
I had a little help.
If I had helped, you would've gone in face-first.
All right, let's, get Indiana Jones Out of the wall here.
You got a chisel? Come on.
Here.
It's de-polymerizing spray For the clumsy and irritating.
What about my house With the dojo and the firing range In the basement? It was See for yourself.
In Eureka, Scientific discovery always trumps construction.
It's in the town charter.
Smells orange-y.
Yep, it's the solvent.
Dr.
Fargo wanted this house fast-tracked.
What am I supposed to do now? Go home and brush up on local civics.
I thought she'd never leave.
You know, Derek, if you have time, I'd love to see the distal phalange.
Well, I'd love to show it to you.
Carter, you have to do mething.
I know.
Were they flirting? I meant about my house! Oh, great! It's 911 from Fargo.
All right, Fargo, what's the emergency? You're running sonic protocols.
Big brother could be eavesdropping.
On what? On me.
Seems my mug may have drawn some unwanted attention From the D.
O.
D.
They've been snooping around Dr.
Grant's personnel file The one I manufactured.
If they know I falsified documentation They may know that I'm not charles Grant, G.
D.
historian, But Trevor Grant, G.
D.
history.
We could be in a lot of trouble.
Try sanctioned.
We violated time-travel protocols.
They're gonna lock us up like lab rats.
I don't like the sound of that.
Forever.
Or that.
What's our play? We trace the checks directly to the source.
Hack the pentagon.
Are you insane? The D.
O.
D.
Mainframe has dozens of firewalls Laced with info-mines along every data path.
It's like trying to hack the matrix.
Well, then as much as it pains me to say, We need to get help from "the one.
" Working with Derek is a chance to be part of history.
You really want to hang with Mr.
"I found a pinky"? I thought you and Jo were going to the spa? Oh, she postponed.
You know, plus Derek and I have time at the a.
M.
S.
Lab tomorrow To start carbon-dating.
You know, that skeleton could be the oldest North american hominid ever found.
So? Speaking of dating, check you out.
Thank you.
Hold on, photo op Your first real date with Allison.
Oh, finally.
This is big.
Oh, crap, my phone's in my bag.
I must've left it at the dig site.
I got time.
I can run you over.
- Great! - Great.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
, door.
There you go.
Well, that's weird.
Derek's car's still here.
Derek! I think I left it in the pit.
Be careful.
Derek? Dad! Any chance that's just a really good statue of thurgood? No, there's definitely a person encased in there.
Prepare him for autopsy, please.
It's so horrible.
You okay? He was such an amazing teacher.
He inspired everyone.
Wait, where you going? He would want everyone to focus on the find.
So I'm gonna go let everyone know.
Well, I've never seen anything like this before.
- Yeah.
- Or this.
Got a date? Actually, yeah! Dinner? Oh! Oh, oh! You meant a date.
- Yeah, I did.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
I just wasn't expecting Really? Carter Look, we got out of focus.
Shall we? Yeah, you're right.
Oh, okay.
So it looks like thurgood was dropped In a vat of cement.
Or pushed in I'll go check with Zimmer.
And, change out of my clothes.
Oh, my God! His heart's beating.
Carter, he's still alive in there.
Sheriff, I told you before, I'd never use flash-crete on a person.
- Except when you did.
- Okay.
But not on a person's entire person.
Mm-hmm.
And, tell me again what you did After I left yesterday.
My crew cleaned up the site and then cleared out.
Thurgood was still mucking about in his pit When we went back to the warehouse.
I swear.
Hey, hey, hey! What, you're not gonna leave me in here, are you? On what charges? Probable cause or just because Take your pick.
It's, beautiful, Henry.
What's the occasion? You and me.
A new beginning.
And I've got everything here.
I've got plantains, caribbean sauteed pork, And Vincent's famous sangria.
All my favorites.
- Something wrong? - No, no! It's perfect.
Re-creating our first date was a lovely idea.
Re He did this too Other Henry? I'm sorry, Grace.
I didn't know.
How could you? But, really, Henry, I love this.
Come on, let's have some sangria.
Not to worry My flash-crete solvent is like elixir of the gods.
It works miracles on skin.
It's our most popular treatment at the shangri-la spa.
It takes only seconds.
Dr.
Vicelli, it's been seconds with no improvement.
In fact, whatever he's covered with is getting thicker.
Yeah, hmm, I'm afraid that this one Is kind of out of my league.
I mean, your situation, I can help.
What, you mean the situation of my face? I'm sorry.
I do that.
It's part of the job.
I mean, really, you look great.
But, in five years Prep for laser surgery.
Let's get this stuff off of him before it kills him.
That's a good idea.
Sonic protocols.
This just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Less talking, more typing.
You know, it might help a smidge If you tell me what I'm looking for.
Just get in first.
The D.
O.
D.
Uses an application gateway.
You know, I could get in a lot of trouble for this.
I think I deserve a fair trade for my services.
So who wants to start the bidding, hmm? You're trying to play us, sport? I just think a little compensation For my particularly awesome set of illegal skills is in order.
Zane, I know it's a stretch, But if you could try not to be a selfish jackass I really could use a new quantum fluctuation generator.
Fine.
Now get on with it.
You're the boss.
I'll start by cutting 0.
5 millimeters.
Hold on.
Is that a tattoo? Looks like an octopus.
His skin isn't covered in concrete.
It is concrete.
Hello? Anyone here? Hello? Hello? Sheriff, please, help me.
Oh, my God! How can a person petrify? Well, I don't know, but they're both alive And petrifying from the outside in.
How does that affect their clothes? Well, you remember the woman who was fused To the fabric of her couch After sitting there for six years? No.
I meanwait, who? Well, it's like that, but much faster.
That's disgusting.
And at the rate that it's moving inward, It's only a matter of hours Before their vital organs solidify, Even less for Derek.
How does it happen? More detail.
Well, in theory, any organic material Can be converted into minerals through impregnation By a silicate, like quartz.
Okay.
Okay.
Carter, what are you doing? Main ingredient in flash-crete is silica.
I used to work construction.
I'm good with my hands.
Carter, flash-crete's been used safely in buildings All over Eureka.
Well, maybe somebody re-jiggered the formula.
Dr.
Zimmer does have a phd in materials engineering.
Bad news, Dr.
Zimmer You've gone from probable cause to Stone.
Well? She's lucky that you found her.
She's okay Well, she's t okay, but she's not DeadYet.
I have the analysis you asked for.
If there's anything else I can do, please Oh, my! What? Sorry.
Nothing.
Here.
Please First treatment's on me.
Oh, wow! Carter, the flash-crete is just flash-crete Same formula as always.
No re-jiggering or? None.
The flash-crete is not causing the fossilization.
Wait, I thought you said these guys were petrifying.
Carter, petrification is a form of fossilization.
PetrI think we might be blaming the wrong guy.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Interesting? It's not supposed to be interesting.
Well, the people checking up on you are real badasses.
Who are we talking N.
S.
A.
, C.
I.
A.
? Worse I.
R.
S.
Seriously, who claims 11 dependents? What? Yeah, accounting flagged your w-4.
The D.
O.
D.
Accounting department? They're the one's poking around in your file? That's supposed to be a 1, not an 11.
Larry.
So anything else you want to know while I'm in there Launch codes, defense plans, tardis blueprints? Go away.
Fine.
Oh, and, doc, You might want to fill out your own paperwork next time.
I'll do that.
Thank you.
Nice doing business with you, Fargo.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey! How well do you know thurgood? Hold on.
That's weird.
What's that? Maybe not as well as I thought.
Check this out.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
Well, I'm pretty sure that means it's not A pre-clovis hominid phalange, Which would mean that I might know What's causing Derek to petrify.
Do you think you can get me into his home lab? Well, nothing out of the ordinary Unless you count all of it.
So, what are you looking for exactly? - Derek's perm solution.
- Derek's perm solution.
Maybe he keeps it next to his european man purse.
Perm, as in permineralization.
What's it do exactly? I think I found it.
Okay, no sign of quartz in your cellular walls.
So she's okay, then? Yes, along with the rest of the archaeological team.
Great.
I can't believe Derek was trying to pull a piltdown.
A what down now? Well, thurgood's skeleton was a piltdown man An ape-like skeleton found in England in 1912.
Turned out to be a hoax.
So the skeleton isn't real? Well, it's not really old.
It looked old.
Yeah, that's the point.
The perm solution It introduces silica and calcite.
And it does it super fast.
We used it in Derek's class to study the process Of fossilization.
Yeah, but a skeleton treated with perm Would never stand up to radiometric dating.
Well, yeah, unless Derek tweaked The photon emissions rate.
The quartz in the skeleton that he found Didn't look right, so I measured it.
It was like perm on steroids.
So he re-jiggered the perm.
I mean, I knew someone re-jiggered something.
But now that we know that thurgood's perm Is the culprit, I may be able to synthesize An antiserum to reverse the effects.
Question How come some people at the site Got fossilized and others didn't, like Zoe? I don't know.
Maybe a genetic predisposition Or an allergic reaction.
I'll have the archaeological lab closed off, Test anyone who came in contact with it at the site.
Great.
I'll head over there and, quarantine the perm.
Can I talk to you for a sec? Look, I know this has been tough on you, So Why don't you get away for a little while? To the spa? I can't go now.
Look, I there's nothing you can do.
It would make me feel better.
And by the time you get back, Derek will probably be his old, fraudulent, flesh-colored self.
How can you be so sure? Well, I can't.
But Allison's working on it.
Thanks.
So what now? Well, the computer's running panels On how to reverse-engineer the perm's effects.
An antidote? Well, that's the hope.
Great.
Keep me posted.
Hey, could Could Can I borrow you? When Grant asked you out, Did you think that was a date date? Well Yeah.
Sure.
Why not me? Really? Well Okay.
"A," you've never asked me for a date.
"B," you kissed me And acted like it never happened.
I mean, I know, you know, you had to come back to Tess, But, I mean, seriously, it's been over a month.
And "C" Hold on! You were thinking about the kiss? It's been over 60 years.
I don't know.
Who can remember? You thought about it.
Carter Go set up the quarantine.
Yes, ma'am.
So you did.
The soil definitely runneth over With modified perm.
Must've leached from the treated skeleton Into the surrounding area.
Ah! That's it.
We're ready? All right, hold on.
Consider the area quarantined.
- Great.
Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Sorry for pulling you away from Grace.
No, you didn't.
She went out.
Beach blanket bingo wasn't a hit? No, it was Both times.
It turns out that I took her on the exact, same first date As the Henry from her time line.
- No! - Yeah.
She was okay with that? No, no, she She was wonderful.
I just want to give her the passion and surprises That she deserves.
But, you know Anything I come up with, you know, He's probably already done.
It's hard to win a girl When you're competing against yourself.
Exactly.
So what do you think I should do? Well, you can find the person you'd be least likely To go to for advice.
Ask them.
I thought that's what I was doing.
I walked right into that, didn't I? - Thanks, Jack.
- Good luck.
I can't relax.
Derek Is in the best hands possible.
Trust me.
Okay.
I'm really glad you were here, Grace.
Yeah, me too.
All right, so tell me all about Harvard.
Guys, grades I want all the gossip.
Grades are good.
Guys are Complicated.
"Guys," as in someone new? Well, he's not exactly new.
HeI needed help with a physics model Last semester.
He totally knew how to use a ornstein-zernike equation In molecular electronic structure theory.
Okay, that is hot! Right? It's that rush you get When you're first getting to know someone, you know? Yeah.
It's too bad you can't have both.
Yeah.
Too bad.
What happened? Derek's system is shutting down I'm losing him.
I thought you were on to something with the perm.
Well, so did I, but the new compound didn't reverse The petrification it just slowed it down.
But you were partially right, right? Well, thurgood and the others must've been exposed To some sort of bio-activator Something that changed the perm in some way.
I'm guessing there's lots of those.
I'm gonna have to cross-reference Everything in their systems, see if I can find a match.
If you Do they have that sort of time? The others, maybe, but Derek I'll ask Zoe.
Maybe she knows if they have something in common.
- Zoe, hey.
- Hey! Can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
We'll talk about it later.
Sheriff.
Zane.
Zoe.
That's him.
- Zane? - Yeah.
He's the new guy? What I know what you're thinking, But he's really sweet once you get to know him.
Whatwhen did you get to know him? - Just give it a chance.
- No! He's a train wreck.
Just ask Jo.
Jo? Why would I ask her? Those two hate each other.
Well, because Of his poor work ethic, Which Look, we can discuss this later, okay? - Allison needs our help.
- Dad.
Look, something activated the perm.
We got to find out what it is before more people are affected.
- Come on.
- Dad! What? What? It's too late.
I can't feel my hands.
It's all over me.
Just look at me, okay? You stay with me.
You lookyou're gonna be okay, all right? - It's gonna be okay.
- Damn! - What's wrong? - It's blocked.
- Dad - Allison.
Stay with me.
Look at me, all right? Just look in my eyes.
I still might be able to get it into the subclavian artery.
When you become a doctor, never do that.
All right, sweetie, you're gonna get sleepy.
Just relax.
There.
See? It's gonna be okay.
Is that a cure? No.
But we will find one, okay? Just stay with her.
Lupo! You going somewhere? Just grabbing some stuff for Carter, In case he spends the night with Zoe.
Is she okay? I hope so.
I got to go.
No, wait.
I pulled something off the D.
O.
D.
mainframe You need to see.
It's Grant's personnel file.
Two felonies in one day impressive.
Not as impressive as his profile.
He's a fake.
What makes you think that? Come on, when you've created as many aliases as I have, You know what to look for.
Dr.
Charles Grant reads like a textbook cover, Jo.
Chuck's hiding something.
Like what? I don't know.
You're the head of security.
Don't you want to find out? Zane, Grant went through detailed background checks Like everyone at G.
D I did them myself.
Look, I know we've had our trust issues, But something isn't right about this guy.
I can feel it.
He is Dr.
Charles Grant, historian.
Trust me.
I really got to go.
- Knock, knock.
- Come.
Hey, I never thought you tickled the ivories.
Oh, this was there for you in the mailroom, Dr.
Grant.
I thought I'd deliver it to you personally.
Thanks.
Leave it over there.
All right.
You know, all I got was a paperweight When I started working here.
Not that it isn't practical, I just would've preferred an itablet or Or a cheval nuit from 1947.
Let me see that.
You know, they say it's not healthy to drink alone.
But I'm available to hang out.
Like guys do.
Right.
You're busy Like everyone always is.
We've tested hundreds of potential bio-activators.
Nothing has reacted with the perm.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
We need to narrow it down.
Allison, you gave Zoe a clean bill of health earlier.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I-I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm not blaming you, but if Zoe was fine then, Then she obviously came in contact With the bio-activator since then.
Well, we need to find out everything That she was exposed in the last couple hours, And that would narrow it down.
Well, I know where to look.
Yeah? Yeah.
Okay.
Got to go.
Okay.
Come on, Carter! I believe that Zoe had the shangri-la special.
Ah, yes, molecular steam bath, mani-pedi Deep penetration for all skin types.
It'sit's very refreshing.
Yeah, I smell oranges.
Yeah, like at the construction site.
Right.
Oh, you have a very keen nose With unfortunately roomy pores, but we have treatments for that.
Thanks.
Do you use flash-crete solvent? On the face? No.
Never.
The solvent is a derivative of my hand dip.
The active ingredient in both is limonene.
It's excellent for purifying the skin.
Were Zoe's hands dipped in the limonene? Yes, of course, it's part of the shangri-la experience.
Zimmer, thurgood, and the crew All used limonene solvent at the site.
All right, we're gonna need a sample of that.
- Now! - Okay.
Oh, okay.
- Do you? - Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Allison, please tell me you have some good news.
Limonene was the bio-activation agent We were looking for.
I'm sensing a "but" in there somewhere.
The antidote needs to be absorbed directly into the skin.
So put it in a cream and slather it on.
The petrification process has closed off Zoe's pores.
So we have a cure, but no way to deliver it? Not yet.
Okay? All this technology and no way to give her the cure.
Yeah, but she's still breathing.
Can't she just inhale it? No.
The cure must be directly applied to the skin.
But petrified tissue is porous on a microscopic level.
If we could just take advantage of that somehow.
Vicelli said that her molecular steam Penetrates all skin types.
Molecular steam might be small enough to penetrate.
And if we aerosolize the cure, Vicelli might be able to deliver it.
That's it.
Hurry.
Come on, Jo! Okay, hang on, Zo.
We're gonna help you, okay? That's it.
The system's ready.
Okay, here we go initiating steam.
How can we tell if it's working? We'll know soon enough.
Come on.
Nothing's happening.
We tried everything we could.
Jack, I'm so sorry.
No.
No.
No.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, huh? I'm here.
I got you back.
Oh, wow! Petrification does awesome things for your skin.
Too bad about the whole "almost dying" part.
Yeah.
It was almost, right? Derek? Yeah.
Yeah, he's fine and the others too.
It's quite a homecoming, huh? Sure wasn't dull.
How we doing? Well, we're not garden statuary anymore.
Well, that's a good start.
I'm gonna keep you here for another day Just as a precaution.
And don't even think about arguing.
If it avoids being grilled about my love life, I'm all for it.
Eh, don't count on it.
I'll be right back.
I don't know how to thank you.
I'm just happy everything worked out okay.
Well I wouldn't say all okay.
What's Zane doing here? Apparently, he and Zoe are friendly.
Since when? Since we changed stuff.
Oh, could this get any worse? - Hey, how's our girl? - She's good.
Yeah? I'm gonna sick.
She asked my advice about her new guy.
- Her new guy is my old guy? - I know.
I know.
You must be really upset.
And you probably want to kill him.
Under normal circumstances, I'd help you.
Okay, but you're not okay with this.
No.
No, I'm not okay with this.
And I keep telling myself that it's a crush And that it's not gonna last.
What if it does? I got to go.
Okay.
Henry, listen, about lunch today * It'poetry in motion! * * You turned your tender eyes to me * * as deep as any ocean * * as sweet as any harmony * What is going on? * She blinded with science * * You blinded me! * * With science! * * When I'm dancing close to her * * Blinded me with science! * * Science * * I can smell the chemicals * * It's poetry in motion * * and now she's making love to me.

* * She blinded me with science * * She blinded with science! * * And hit me with technology * So romantic! So Zoe is on her way to a full recovery.
Well, thanks to you.
Well, it was a team effort.
You know, Zoe said that what starts In the friend zone should just stay In the friend zone.
Do you think that that's right? I think that good friends Are hard to find.
So you think the kiss was a mistake? No.
I think that what we have It's really special.
And if things didn't work out between us Especially after everything that we've been through What I'm trying to say is Maybe Maybe it's not worth the risk.
Okay.
Trevor Grant? How do you know my name? I've known your name my whole life.
I believe you knew my father, Adam, back in 1947.
Who are you? My name is Beverly Barlowe.
And we've been waiting a very long time for you.
Yeah, like that was gonna last.
Hello, 1947.
Confused? Let me clarify.
The five of us got transported back in time Through some wormhole thingy thanks to the bridge device.
We eventually found our way back home, But, surprise, home wasn't exactly the way we left it.
Henrymarried.
Zane and Jonever dated.
But Jo's in charge of G.
D.
Security.
Kevindifferent, much to Allison's surprise.
And Fargo the head of Global Dynamics, Much to everyone's surprise.
Oh, and Dr.
Old Spice hitched a ride back with us To the present.
But there was one crappy rule.
We can't tell anyone.
If anyone found out about our trip, There'd be in trouble.
Some of us had a harder time with it than other I'm not your Henry, not yet.
It's way off target and that's a residential area.
That was Jo's house, So she's living with me for a while.
And I finally kissed Allison But, of course, Dr.
Charles Grant Had to get in the way.
At least let me buy you a drink.
One drink.
Don't plan the wedding just yet.
May the best man win.
But that's Eureka for you Same town, big changes.
You know, I think I like the hair.
You look very mature.
Yeah, and it really sells The fake I.
D.
to the bars in Cambridge.
Kidding.
Unclench.
Yeah.
So when does Lucas come back from M.
I.
T.
? He's not.
Internship in Geneva, which isn't a bad thing.
You guys having trouble? That would make it a lot easier.
No.
It's just he's a great guy, But, you know, college changes you What you want, who you want.
Oh, that's not, hair boy.
You know, maybe what starts in the friend zone Should stay in the friend zone.
- Sheriff.
Hey, Zoe.
- Hey, Zane! - Looking good.
- Thanks.
That's my girl! That's my girl.
Hey! Jenna's gotten so big.
Allison seems so happy.
Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
Fresh baked cinnamon roll, raisin-free and icing-rich, Just the way you like it.
Welcome home.
Aw, thanks, Vin! It's so good to be back.
I think I'll have one.
Thanks, Vince.
You bet.
Okay, sothough I think some Of the greatest romances in history Started in the friend zone.
Like what? And tv characters do not count.
So you ready for spa day? I've got us booked For shangri-la facials and mani-pedis.
Shangri-la facials? Well, this doesn't happen by magic, my friend.
I can't wait.
So what are yoguys talking about? Whether it's better to stay with someone safe but dull Or take a risk on someone new.
I thinkI think newer isn't always better.
You've already found someone new.
That obvious? Well, nothing's happened yet.
We've just been holo-skyping.
But he's funny and smart and so hot.
Yeah, and I think that's my cue to leave.
I'll meet you outside.
Funny, smart, and hot Sounds like a trifecta.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, he's a little bit older.
If he makes you happy, go for it.
Life's short.
And everything can change in a blink.
Oh, it's my contractor.
Wait till you see the plans for my new house.
Zimmer, what's going on? Let me get your coat.
Thank you.
A gentleman always takes street side.
Were all men as chivalrous in your day? If they wanted a chance with a gal like you, they were.
Well, I say we need more men like you in 2010.
You know what we didn't have in my day? Coffee like this.
I enjoyed the highballs the other night.
- The drinks.
- Oh, yes! So did I.
Thank you.
How about we go crazy next time and make it dinner? Well Hey, guys.
Why aren't you catching up on 60 years of fun facts? 'cause I find the present far more alluring.
That's great.
I need you Police business.
Could take a while.
Okay, sport.
Ladies.
To be continued.
"Police business"? Ah, all my business is police business.
So what's up, Carter? Well, it's Really more of a longer conversation.
Maybe you and I could grab a bite? I just ate.
No, not "Just ate.
" No, later.
Like, say, dinner? Oh, okay, well, Kevin's gonna be at dre's.
And I have the nanny tonight.
Yeah, sure.
What time? - Say 8:00? - Yeah.
That sounds good.
Okay.
Hey, Jenna, say good-bye to Carter.
Say bye-bye.
Bye.
Why'd it take me four years to do that? Well, tell him if he doesn't move that thing today, I will move it for him.
They haven't even poured the foundation for my house, Which means that I get to keep living With the both of you And S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
And her mechanical boyfriend.
And, oh, my God, I need my own space.
Mechanical boyfriend? S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
's been spending time With deputy Andy.
Your house is getting more action than either of us.
I try not to think about it.
So what's what's the holdup On the swinging new bachelorette pad? Some pinhead named thurgood found a fossil on the site And shut down construction.
Wait, Derek? Derwho's Derek? Dr.
Derek thurgood.
He taught my paleoanthropology class Last year at Tesla.
The guy's a genius.
Really? Well, why don't you come and watch me kick His smart ass off my property? Well, let's.
You don't know what a big deal this is.
You'll just have to give us more time.
You have had three days to move it.
Well, I was working on it, But this little intimidation stunt of yours Isn't helping you.
Hey, Zoe, welcome back.
Congratulations, Derek.
This is really cool.
Oh, really cool.
So take your fancy laser shovel and haul it back to G.
D.
That's a delicate process, and it can't be rushed.
Besides, who knows what else we might find here? What exactly did we find here? The distal phalange Of a 15,000-year-old pre-clovis culture hominid.
A pinky! That's it? That's a big deal, dad.
Come on.
Then remove it.
Well, I would, but, boss lady Zimmer Thought it would be funny to push me into flash-crete.
- Into what now? - It's flash-crete.
P.
V.
A.
enhanced molecular-bonding concrete.
Three-second set time.
And he fell into it.
I had a little help.
If I had helped, you would've gone in face-first.
All right, let's, get Indiana Jones Out of the wall here.
You got a chisel? Come on.
Here.
It's de-polymerizing spray For the clumsy and irritating.
What about my house With the dojo and the firing range In the basement? It was See for yourself.
In Eureka, Scientific discovery always trumps construction.
It's in the town charter.
Smells orange-y.
Yep, it's the solvent.
Dr.
Fargo wanted this house fast-tracked.
What am I supposed to do now? Go home and brush up on local civics.
I thought she'd never leave.
You know, Derek, if you have time, I'd love to see the distal phalange.
Well, I'd love to show it to you.
Carter, you have to do mething.
I know.
Were they flirting? I meant about my house! Oh, great! It's 911 from Fargo.
All right, Fargo, what's the emergency? You're running sonic protocols.
Big brother could be eavesdropping.
On what? On me.
Seems my mug may have drawn some unwanted attention From the D.
O.
D.
They've been snooping around Dr.
Grant's personnel file The one I manufactured.
If they know I falsified documentation They may know that I'm not charles Grant, G.
D.
historian, But Trevor Grant, G.
D.
history.
We could be in a lot of trouble.
Try sanctioned.
We violated time-travel protocols.
They're gonna lock us up like lab rats.
I don't like the sound of that.
Forever.
Or that.
What's our play? We trace the checks directly to the source.
Hack the pentagon.
Are you insane? The D.
O.
D.
Mainframe has dozens of firewalls Laced with info-mines along every data path.
It's like trying to hack the matrix.
Well, then as much as it pains me to say, We need to get help from "the one.
" Working with Derek is a chance to be part of history.
You really want to hang with Mr.
"I found a pinky"? I thought you and Jo were going to the spa? Oh, she postponed.
You know, plus Derek and I have time at the a.
M.
S.
Lab tomorrow To start carbon-dating.
You know, that skeleton could be the oldest North american hominid ever found.
So? Speaking of dating, check you out.
Thank you.
Hold on, photo op Your first real date with Allison.
Oh, finally.
This is big.
Oh, crap, my phone's in my bag.
I must've left it at the dig site.
I got time.
I can run you over.
- Great! - Great.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
, door.
There you go.
Well, that's weird.
Derek's car's still here.
Derek! I think I left it in the pit.
Be careful.
Derek? Dad! Any chance that's just a really good statue of thurgood? No, there's definitely a person encased in there.
Prepare him for autopsy, please.
It's so horrible.
You okay? He was such an amazing teacher.
He inspired everyone.
Wait, where you going? He would want everyone to focus on the find.
So I'm gonna go let everyone know.
Well, I've never seen anything like this before.
- Yeah.
- Or this.
Got a date? Actually, yeah! Dinner? Oh! Oh, oh! You meant a date.
- Yeah, I did.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
I just wasn't expecting Really? Carter Look, we got out of focus.
Shall we? Yeah, you're right.
Oh, okay.
So it looks like thurgood was dropped In a vat of cement.
Or pushed in I'll go check with Zimmer.
And, change out of my clothes.
Oh, my God! His heart's beating.
Carter, he's still alive in there.
Sheriff, I told you before, I'd never use flash-crete on a person.
- Except when you did.
- Okay.
But not on a person's entire person.
Mm-hmm.
And, tell me again what you did After I left yesterday.
My crew cleaned up the site and then cleared out.
Thurgood was still mucking about in his pit When we went back to the warehouse.
I swear.
Hey, hey, hey! What, you're not gonna leave me in here, are you? On what charges? Probable cause or just because Take your pick.
It's, beautiful, Henry.
What's the occasion? You and me.
A new beginning.
And I've got everything here.
I've got plantains, caribbean sauteed pork, And Vincent's famous sangria.
All my favorites.
- Something wrong? - No, no! It's perfect.
Re-creating our first date was a lovely idea.
Re He did this too Other Henry? I'm sorry, Grace.
I didn't know.
How could you? But, really, Henry, I love this.
Come on, let's have some sangria.
Not to worry My flash-crete solvent is like elixir of the gods.
It works miracles on skin.
It's our most popular treatment at the shangri-la spa.
It takes only seconds.
Dr.
Vicelli, it's been seconds with no improvement.
In fact, whatever he's covered with is getting thicker.
Yeah, hmm, I'm afraid that this one Is kind of out of my league.
I mean, your situation, I can help.
What, you mean the situation of my face? I'm sorry.
I do that.
It's part of the job.
I mean, really, you look great.
But, in five years Prep for laser surgery.
Let's get this stuff off of him before it kills him.
That's a good idea.
Sonic protocols.
This just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Less talking, more typing.
You know, it might help a smidge If you tell me what I'm looking for.
Just get in first.
The D.
O.
D.
Uses an application gateway.
You know, I could get in a lot of trouble for this.
I think I deserve a fair trade for my services.
So who wants to start the bidding, hmm? You're trying to play us, sport? I just think a little compensation For my particularly awesome set of illegal skills is in order.
Zane, I know it's a stretch, But if you could try not to be a selfish jackass I really could use a new quantum fluctuation generator.
Fine.
Now get on with it.
You're the boss.
I'll start by cutting 0.
5 millimeters.
Hold on.
Is that a tattoo? Looks like an octopus.
His skin isn't covered in concrete.
It is concrete.
Hello? Anyone here? Hello? Hello? Sheriff, please, help me.
Oh, my God! How can a person petrify? Well, I don't know, but they're both alive And petrifying from the outside in.
How does that affect their clothes? Well, you remember the woman who was fused To the fabric of her couch After sitting there for six years? No.
I meanwait, who? Well, it's like that, but much faster.
That's disgusting.
And at the rate that it's moving inward, It's only a matter of hours Before their vital organs solidify, Even less for Derek.
How does it happen? More detail.
Well, in theory, any organic material Can be converted into minerals through impregnation By a silicate, like quartz.
Okay.
Okay.
Carter, what are you doing? Main ingredient in flash-crete is silica.
I used to work construction.
I'm good with my hands.
Carter, flash-crete's been used safely in buildings All over Eureka.
Well, maybe somebody re-jiggered the formula.
Dr.
Zimmer does have a phd in materials engineering.
Bad news, Dr.
Zimmer You've gone from probable cause to Stone.
Well? She's lucky that you found her.
She's okay Well, she's t okay, but she's not DeadYet.
I have the analysis you asked for.
If there's anything else I can do, please Oh, my! What? Sorry.
Nothing.
Here.
Please First treatment's on me.
Oh, wow! Carter, the flash-crete is just flash-crete Same formula as always.
No re-jiggering or? None.
The flash-crete is not causing the fossilization.
Wait, I thought you said these guys were petrifying.
Carter, petrification is a form of fossilization.
PetrI think we might be blaming the wrong guy.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Interesting? It's not supposed to be interesting.
Well, the people checking up on you are real badasses.
Who are we talking N.
S.
A.
, C.
I.
A.
? Worse I.
R.
S.
Seriously, who claims 11 dependents? What? Yeah, accounting flagged your w-4.
The D.
O.
D.
Accounting department? They're the one's poking around in your file? That's supposed to be a 1, not an 11.
Larry.
So anything else you want to know while I'm in there Launch codes, defense plans, tardis blueprints? Go away.
Fine.
Oh, and, doc, You might want to fill out your own paperwork next time.
I'll do that.
Thank you.
Nice doing business with you, Fargo.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey! How well do you know thurgood? Hold on.
That's weird.
What's that? Maybe not as well as I thought.
Check this out.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
Well, I'm pretty sure that means it's not A pre-clovis hominid phalange, Which would mean that I might know What's causing Derek to petrify.
Do you think you can get me into his home lab? Well, nothing out of the ordinary Unless you count all of it.
So, what are you looking for exactly? - Derek's perm solution.
- Derek's perm solution.
Maybe he keeps it next to his european man purse.
Perm, as in permineralization.
What's it do exactly? I think I found it.
Okay, no sign of quartz in your cellular walls.
So she's okay, then? Yes, along with the rest of the archaeological team.
Great.
I can't believe Derek was trying to pull a piltdown.
A what down now? Well, thurgood's skeleton was a piltdown man An ape-like skeleton found in England in 1912.
Turned out to be a hoax.
So the skeleton isn't real? Well, it's not really old.
It looked old.
Yeah, that's the point.
The perm solution It introduces silica and calcite.
And it does it super fast.
We used it in Derek's class to study the process Of fossilization.
Yeah, but a skeleton treated with perm Would never stand up to radiometric dating.
Well, yeah, unless Derek tweaked The photon emissions rate.
The quartz in the skeleton that he found Didn't look right, so I measured it.
It was like perm on steroids.
So he re-jiggered the perm.
I mean, I knew someone re-jiggered something.
But now that we know that thurgood's perm Is the culprit, I may be able to synthesize An antiserum to reverse the effects.
Question How come some people at the site Got fossilized and others didn't, like Zoe? I don't know.
Maybe a genetic predisposition Or an allergic reaction.
I'll have the archaeological lab closed off, Test anyone who came in contact with it at the site.
Great.
I'll head over there and, quarantine the perm.
Can I talk to you for a sec? Look, I know this has been tough on you, So Why don't you get away for a little while? To the spa? I can't go now.
Look, I there's nothing you can do.
It would make me feel better.
And by the time you get back, Derek will probably be his old, fraudulent, flesh-colored self.
How can you be so sure? Well, I can't.
But Allison's working on it.
Thanks.
So what now? Well, the computer's running panels On how to reverse-engineer the perm's effects.
An antidote? Well, that's the hope.
Great.
Keep me posted.
Hey, could Could Can I borrow you? When Grant asked you out, Did you think that was a date date? Well Yeah.
Sure.
Why not me? Really? Well Okay.
"A," you've never asked me for a date.
"B," you kissed me And acted like it never happened.
I mean, I know, you know, you had to come back to Tess, But, I mean, seriously, it's been over a month.
And "C" Hold on! You were thinking about the kiss? It's been over 60 years.
I don't know.
Who can remember? You thought about it.
Carter Go set up the quarantine.
Yes, ma'am.
So you did.
The soil definitely runneth over With modified perm.
Must've leached from the treated skeleton Into the surrounding area.
Ah! That's it.
We're ready? All right, hold on.
Consider the area quarantined.
- Great.
Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Sorry for pulling you away from Grace.
No, you didn't.
She went out.
Beach blanket bingo wasn't a hit? No, it was Both times.
It turns out that I took her on the exact, same first date As the Henry from her time line.
- No! - Yeah.
She was okay with that? No, no, she She was wonderful.
I just want to give her the passion and surprises That she deserves.
But, you know Anything I come up with, you know, He's probably already done.
It's hard to win a girl When you're competing against yourself.
Exactly.
So what do you think I should do? Well, you can find the person you'd be least likely To go to for advice.
Ask them.
I thought that's what I was doing.
I walked right into that, didn't I? - Thanks, Jack.
- Good luck.
I can't relax.
Derek Is in the best hands possible.
Trust me.
Okay.
I'm really glad you were here, Grace.
Yeah, me too.
All right, so tell me all about Harvard.
Guys, grades I want all the gossip.
Grades are good.
Guys are Complicated.
"Guys," as in someone new? Well, he's not exactly new.
HeI needed help with a physics model Last semester.
He totally knew how to use a ornstein-zernike equation In molecular electronic structure theory.
Okay, that is hot! Right? It's that rush you get When you're first getting to know someone, you know? Yeah.
It's too bad you can't have both.
Yeah.
Too bad.
What happened? Derek's system is shutting down I'm losing him.
I thought you were on to something with the perm.
Well, so did I, but the new compound didn't reverse The petrification it just slowed it down.
But you were partially right, right? Well, thurgood and the others must've been exposed To some sort of bio-activator Something that changed the perm in some way.
I'm guessing there's lots of those.
I'm gonna have to cross-reference Everything in their systems, see if I can find a match.
If you Do they have that sort of time? The others, maybe, but Derek I'll ask Zoe.
Maybe she knows if they have something in common.
- Zoe, hey.
- Hey! Can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
We'll talk about it later.
Sheriff.
Zane.
Zoe.
That's him.
- Zane? - Yeah.
He's the new guy? What I know what you're thinking, But he's really sweet once you get to know him.
Whatwhen did you get to know him? - Just give it a chance.
- No! He's a train wreck.
Just ask Jo.
Jo? Why would I ask her? Those two hate each other.
Well, because Of his poor work ethic, Which Look, we can discuss this later, okay? - Allison needs our help.
- Dad.
Look, something activated the perm.
We got to find out what it is before more people are affected.
- Come on.
- Dad! What? What? It's too late.
I can't feel my hands.
It's all over me.
Just look at me, okay? You stay with me.
You lookyou're gonna be okay, all right? - It's gonna be okay.
- Damn! - What's wrong? - It's blocked.
- Dad - Allison.
Stay with me.
Look at me, all right? Just look in my eyes.
I still might be able to get it into the subclavian artery.
When you become a doctor, never do that.
All right, sweetie, you're gonna get sleepy.
Just relax.
There.
See? It's gonna be okay.
Is that a cure? No.
But we will find one, okay? Just stay with her.
Lupo! You going somewhere? Just grabbing some stuff for Carter, In case he spends the night with Zoe.
Is she okay? I hope so.
I got to go.
No, wait.
I pulled something off the D.
O.
D.
mainframe You need to see.
It's Grant's personnel file.
Two felonies in one day impressive.
Not as impressive as his profile.
He's a fake.
What makes you think that? Come on, when you've created as many aliases as I have, You know what to look for.
Dr.
Charles Grant reads like a textbook cover, Jo.
Chuck's hiding something.
Like what? I don't know.
You're the head of security.
Don't you want to find out? Zane, Grant went through detailed background checks Like everyone at G.
D I did them myself.
Look, I know we've had our trust issues, But something isn't right about this guy.
I can feel it.
He is Dr.
Charles Grant, historian.
Trust me.
I really got to go.
- Knock, knock.
- Come.
Hey, I never thought you tickled the ivories.
Oh, this was there for you in the mailroom, Dr.
Grant.
I thought I'd deliver it to you personally.
Thanks.
Leave it over there.
All right.
You know, all I got was a paperweight When I started working here.
Not that it isn't practical, I just would've preferred an itablet or Or a cheval nuit from 1947.
Let me see that.
You know, they say it's not healthy to drink alone.
But I'm available to hang out.
Like guys do.
Right.
You're busy Like everyone always is.
We've tested hundreds of potential bio-activators.
Nothing has reacted with the perm.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
We need to narrow it down.
Allison, you gave Zoe a clean bill of health earlier.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I-I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm not blaming you, but if Zoe was fine then, Then she obviously came in contact With the bio-activator since then.
Well, we need to find out everything That she was exposed in the last couple hours, And that would narrow it down.
Well, I know where to look.
Yeah? Yeah.
Okay.
Got to go.
Okay.
Come on, Carter! I believe that Zoe had the shangri-la special.
Ah, yes, molecular steam bath, mani-pedi Deep penetration for all skin types.
It'sit's very refreshing.
Yeah, I smell oranges.
Yeah, like at the construction site.
Right.
Oh, you have a very keen nose With unfortunately roomy pores, but we have treatments for that.
Thanks.
Do you use flash-crete solvent? On the face? No.
Never.
The solvent is a derivative of my hand dip.
The active ingredient in both is limonene.
It's excellent for purifying the skin.
Were Zoe's hands dipped in the limonene? Yes, of course, it's part of the shangri-la experience.
Zimmer, thurgood, and the crew All used limonene solvent at the site.
All right, we're gonna need a sample of that.
- Now! - Okay.
Oh, okay.
- Do you? - Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Allison, please tell me you have some good news.
Limonene was the bio-activation agent We were looking for.
I'm sensing a "but" in there somewhere.
The antidote needs to be absorbed directly into the skin.
So put it in a cream and slather it on.
The petrification process has closed off Zoe's pores.
So we have a cure, but no way to deliver it? Not yet.
Okay? All this technology and no way to give her the cure.
Yeah, but she's still breathing.
Can't she just inhale it? No.
The cure must be directly applied to the skin.
But petrified tissue is porous on a microscopic level.
If we could just take advantage of that somehow.
Vicelli said that her molecular steam Penetrates all skin types.
Molecular steam might be small enough to penetrate.
And if we aerosolize the cure, Vicelli might be able to deliver it.
That's it.
Hurry.
Come on, Jo! Okay, hang on, Zo.
We're gonna help you, okay? That's it.
The system's ready.
Okay, here we go initiating steam.
How can we tell if it's working? We'll know soon enough.
Come on.
Nothing's happening.
We tried everything we could.
Jack, I'm so sorry.
No.
No.
No.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, huh? I'm here.
I got you back.
Oh, wow! Petrification does awesome things for your skin.
Too bad about the whole "almost dying" part.
Yeah.
It was almost, right? Derek? Yeah.
Yeah, he's fine and the others too.
It's quite a homecoming, huh? Sure wasn't dull.
How we doing? Well, we're not garden statuary anymore.
Well, that's a good start.
I'm gonna keep you here for another day Just as a precaution.
And don't even think about arguing.
If it avoids being grilled about my love life, I'm all for it.
Eh, don't count on it.
I'll be right back.
I don't know how to thank you.
I'm just happy everything worked out okay.
Well I wouldn't say all okay.
What's Zane doing here? Apparently, he and Zoe are friendly.
Since when? Since we changed stuff.
Oh, could this get any worse? - Hey, how's our girl? - She's good.
Yeah? I'm gonna sick.
She asked my advice about her new guy.
- Her new guy is my old guy? - I know.
I know.
You must be really upset.
And you probably want to kill him.
Under normal circumstances, I'd help you.
Okay, but you're not okay with this.
No.
No, I'm not okay with this.
And I keep telling myself that it's a crush And that it's not gonna last.
What if it does? I got to go.
Okay.
Henry, listen, about lunch today * It'poetry in motion! * * You turned your tender eyes to me * * as deep as any ocean * * as sweet as any harmony * What is going on? * She blinded with science * * You blinded me! * * With science! * * When I'm dancing close to her * * Blinded me with science! * * Science * * I can smell the chemicals * * It's poetry in motion * * and now she's making love to me.
* * The spheres are in commotion * * the elements in harmony.
* * She blinded me with science * * She blinded with science! * * And hit me with technology * So romantic! So Zoe is on her way to a full recovery.
Well, thanks to you.
Well, it was a team effort.
You know, Zoe said that what starts In the friend zone should just stay In the friend zone.
Do you think that that's right? I think that good friends Are hard to find.
So you think the kiss was a mistake? No.
I think that what we have It's really special.
And if things didn't work out between us Especially after everything that we've been through What I'm trying to say is Maybe Maybe it's not worth the risk.
Okay.
