- 1.13: Karma Chameleon
We plan, God laughs, isn't that the saying?
On this episode, we discuss Wyatt and Rufus' plan to stop Jessica's killer from being born, Anthony's dramatic plan to end Rittenhouse's quest (even if temporarily) and how both plans really fall flat on their face by the end.
We also get into Rittenhouse's plans for the future (or should we say, the past?), Lucy discovering who her father really is and a hint of Jiya and Rufus' relationship as Rufus continues to try and protect Jiya from it all.
There really is no History Minute this episode, though Heather does touch on some great easter eggs from the episode.

Timeless doesn't have a Halloween episode, but given how creepy this episode was, we'd say it qualifies. And what great timing!
This week, we discuss a bit of strike and Timeless-related news before getting into Flynn's volatile behavior following the events in 1780, Wyatt and Rufus' plan to get Lucy back, Wyatt finally learning who killed Jessica and what he might do next.
*TW*: Our discussion of H. H. Holmes includes his crimes, including murder, crimes against children, suicide. If you would rather not hear this section, please use the timestamps below to skip to the 'Back to the Episode' chapter as the story ends just before that. Please take care of yourself as you listen to the episode; there is no difference listening to the episode if you skip this section.
In the History Minute, the creepy vibes continue as Heather gives us the lowdown on H. H. Holmes and the Murder Castle, but lightens it a bit with information about Sophia Hayden, Harry Houdini and the Chicago World's Fair.
