(ominous music begins)

- Last time on Black Hole High.

- Welcome aboard Dr. Trent.

- Look, but-

- No buts, just keep the children away

from the front of the school tonight.

Is that clear?

- [Principal Durst] Blake Holsey High's

First Annual Pizza Night

is about to start in the gym.

- [Josie] I'm telling you, it's all a distraction.

(light sparks)

Victor Pearson's checking out the school tonight.

- [Professor Z] Pearson and Durst

have been covering everything up.

- At least we know who the people are.

No more surprises.

Mom.

(rock music begins)

- [Josie] Okay, so my mom drops me at this boring school

and I'm thinking it's like all the other places I've gone.

Students,

(rock music continues)

teachers, principal, you know, like normal schools?

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

? Oh yeah ?

- And what's this guy doing here?

? Oh, whoa, whoa, oh yeah ?

- Something's going on and someone's behind it

and we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

? Oh yeah ?

- There's Nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(scream)

- My mom works for Victor Pearson?

- Maybe there's another explanation.

(light sparks)

- What's happening?

- I dunno, something with the sensor.

(lightning flashes)

- She's in trouble.

- No, Josie, no.

- We gotta get clear.

- [Professor Z] Go, go, go, go, go.

- Mom.

- Josie.

(portal opens)

- Ow.

Where is everyone?

Mom?

- You shouldn't be here, miss.

- [Corrine] Can we call you Shortcake?

It's just a joke.

- Good to have you back, Josie.

- [Josie] Thanks.

Oh and Vaughn, you were right about your dad

taking on that partner.

That guy is not to be trusted.

- [Vaughn] Yeah, my dad knows that.

In fact, he said you were the one who tipped him

off to that fact.

- You have got to be kidding me

- What were you doing at my dad's house?

- I went for a short walk.

- [Principal Durst] Blake Holsey High's

First Annual Pizza Night

is about to start at the main hall.

That's five solid hours of movies, music, pizza, and fun.

Attendance is mandatory.

- I'm telling you, it's all a distraction.

Victor Pearson's checking out the school tonight.

- Professor Z.

- Josie, shouldn't you be on your way to the party?

- [Josie] We need to talk to Professor Z about this.

Professor Z, the party tonight's a cover.

Victor's up to something.

- [Vaughn] Josie, come on.

We don't know if my dad's up to something.

- [Josie] Sorry, Vaughn, but it's pretty obvious.

The only way we'll know for sure is if we ditch the party

and do some sniffing around, right Professor Z?

- Yes. Although, although Principal Durst is adamant

about attendance being mandatory

so you should go.

Or be going.

And I will-

(cabinet rattles)

I'll see you there and we can discuss this.

- I'll see you at the party then.

- Not unless I see you first a couple of times.

(Josie punches Professor Z)

- Is everything all right, Professor Z?

- Yes.

Yeah, it's fine.

Thank you, Vaughn.

See you all at the party.

- [Vaughn] Yeah, okay.

- The shin is the least protected bone on the body.

Did you know that?

- I was sucked through a vortex

from three hours in the future and dropped here.

Did you know that?

- What's up with Z?

- We just asked him to help us break major school rules

is what.

- You think he'll report us?

- I don't know, but nothing's gonna stop me

from checking it all out tonight.

Who's with me?

- [Principal Durst] There you all are.

I've been looking all over for you five.

You all know about the pizza party this evening, of course?

- It's just, got this assignment.

- Big, big assignment.

- Which we really should get back to.

- Oh, but you're already achieving

the highest possible marks in science.

Besides, I think we sometimes forget

that even the most well-rounded students need

to allow a little time

for some fun and relaxation and pizza.

The main hall, now.

(Principal Durst knocks)

Go along, Professor Zachary.

- An accident caused the wormhole to open?

What kind of accident?

- Some piece of equipment.

My mom was holding it.

It went all Tesla on her.

I didn't see what happened next.

- Josie, an accident like the one you're describing meant

that a lot of energy must have been released.

A lot of energy.

- Wait a minute.

The accident doesn't happen for another two hours

I can warn her.

- No

You can't.

You need the accident

to reopen the vortex so you can get back.

- [Josie] What's the big deal if I don't get back?

I'll be caught up to the future

in a couple hours anyway, right?

- No, not exactly.

There are multiple Josies in multiple times

with multiple pasts, presents, and future.

You have to get back to your own timeline, your own future

while the other Josie continues to live here in this one.

- Cats cradle?

I'm not in the mood for playing games.

- Try to imagine that this string is a map of time.

Every moment right up until the time of the accident

is laid out in a very precise order

along the length of this string.

Now in theory, two points of space time can come close

together, not unlike where the strings

of the cats cradle intersect each other.

However, now there are two of you here

when this time can only support one of you.

If you are not at the exact same place in time

that you came out when you came out

and the accident does not supply the power

to open the wormhole,

then this strand of time could become corrupted.

- And?

- [Professor Z] Theoretically?

Collapse into itself.

In your desire to save your mother,

you might destroy everything.

- You mean everything?

We're way past disaster here, aren't we?

- [Principal Durst] Attention.

Any student that is not now

in the dining hall should now be

in the dining hall.

That is all.

- I'm supposed to be on pizza duty.

If I don't show up, Durst will come looking for me.

Josie, I'll try to figure out some way to help your mother.

- Thanks.

- [Professor Z] And in the meantime, you have to stay put.

Don't let anyone see you and get to that vortex on time.

Okay?

Okay?

- Okay.

(acoustic guitar plays)

Mom.

I have to warn her.

(rock music begins)

- I'm out of here as soon as the movie starts.

- And what if my dad sees us?

- There's not much chance of us getting out anytime soon.

Durst is watching us like a hawk.

- You're right.

- So we're just gonna give up?

- We need a diversion.

(bell chiming)

- Mom.

- [Victor Pearson] I'm not a patient man, Kelly.

I'll have your answer to my proposal.

- Proposal?

- You still haven't told me why you need

to rebuild paradigm.

- [Victor Pearson] No, I haven't, have I?

All in good time.

- All right.

What do you get if I say yes to joining you?

- [Victor Pearson] One of the brightest scientific minds

I've ever known.

And full partner in paradigm two.

- That's very generous.

- Yes, it is, isn't it?

So?

- I don't see how I could say no.

- Good.

(ominous music)

(ominous music)

(Kelly speaking)

- You have a funny way of staying put.

(Kelly speaking)

- [Kelly] Manage my, my budget, research and development.

And Victor, I'm gonna want full disclosure

and access to your-

- Let's go.

- [Victor Pearson] I'll have my lawyer finalize the-

(floorboards creak)

sounds like we may have rats.

Large ones.

Would you excuse me please?

(electric guitar plays)

- Come on Victor, what are you really up to?

Whatever it is, I'm here to stop you.

- I can only imagine how hard this is for you, Josie.

But if I have to, I will lock you up in here

until it's time to go back through the vortex.

- What's the point in going back?

My mom's working for Victor and I can't stop her.

- [Professor Z] Josie.

- What if I just don't care anymore?

Did you hear them talking?

- Yes. Enough to know I'm not sure

what was really being said.

- Well, I'm sure.

- [Professor Z] Really?

- She lied to me.

She said she wanted to be a bigger part of my life.

That we should be around each other more.

She just happened to leave out

that being around meant she'd be working

for the shadiest guy on the planet.

- [Professor Z] Josie, I feel like you think you understand

what's really going on here.

I am sure there's an explanation.

I just can't think of one at the moment.

- [Josie] See, not helping.

- I know you're hurting now, but trust me.

You are not going to feel like this forever.

I've gotta get back.

Stay.

(dance music begins)

- Okay, what are you guys doing?

- Nothing.

- Is that the truth?

- Yes.

- No.

- [Lucas] Marshall, you told him the truth?

- I can't lie to Z.

- Don't rat us out, okay Professor Z?

- It's hard to promise if I don't know what I'm ratting.

Where's Josie?

(dance music continues)

Someone making a volcano?

- Durst won't let us out of her sight.

So we need a diversion.

I figure if we drop these baggies filled

with bicarbon vinegar into the container,

the pump action will agitate the inner baggies.

Presto, the bicarb will leak

and when it mixes with the vinegar.

- [Professor Z] Yeah, I've enjoyed the odd prank in my day.

And while I am encouraged to see my students

putting practical science into action,

that much bicarb is enough to blow this punch fountain

into Cam Chaka.

Clever.

Sorry, Josie.

- [Josie] Didn't you hear what I said before?

Victor's up to something.

- [Corrine] When are we ever going to get a better chance

to see for ourselves?

- I really can't go along with this.

- No, but you could look the other way.

- No, Lucas, I can't do that.

But I can advise you on how

to conduct this experiment safely.

How large is that container?

- 30 liters.

- [Professor Z] Okay.

Don't use more than half a kilo.

I wouldn't wanna see this go airborne.

(ominous music)

(door closes)

- [Josie] Hi.

I was just on my way to the party.

- You're already at the party.

- Unbelievable.

You know everything in two universes.

Okay, so if I can't stop this accident from happening

then what am I doing here?

- [Janitor] That's a question you should

be asking yourself, Josie.

Not me.

- [Josie] Okay, so this isn't about my mom.

- I didn't say that.

- [Josie] Okay, so this is about my mom and me?

- You tell me.

- I don't even wanna talk to her right now.

I can't trust her anymore.

- Things aren't always what they seem.

- She totally lied to me.

- Don't hold on to feelings that cause you pain.

You should always let go of things that can hurt you.

- How can I just let go of what I feel?

- Just throw it away.

- Don't hold on.

Just throw it away.

- [Janitor] Pretty good advice, don't you think?

Maybe there's someone you can pass it on to.

- How?

- You'll think of a way.

(piano music begins)

(door shuts)

(phone beeps)

- Hi, Mom?

- Hey, Shortcake.

Listen, can I call you back?

- [Josie] Mom, where are you right now?

- [Kelly] I got my hands full, kiddo.

- [Josie] Working stuff?

- Stuff.

Sorry, sweetie.

Can we do this another time?

- [Josie] Listen, I have this friend

and she's mixed up in something, something big.

If you had a secret

that you thought would be important

to tell her, you would, wouldn't you?

- If I could, but that's not always possible.

- [Victor Pearson] What's happening?

- Honey, I've really gotta go.

- [Josie] Oh wait, I have to tell you something.

Don't hold on to things that could hurt you.

Just throw it away.

- Don't hold on.

Just throw it away.

Josie, what's going on?

What are you talking about?

- Trust me, mom, don't hold on.

Just throw it away, okay?

- Okay.

- [Victor Pearson] What do you mean blank?

- Jose.

I hope you can help your friend.

- Me too.

(phone beeps)

(dance music)

(liquid sloshes)

(liquid bubbles)

(electric guitar plays)

- Let's go.

- Let's bail.

(light flickers)

- Come on, Josie.

Okay.

- Mom.

My mom works for Victor Pearson?

- Maybe there's another explanation.

- [Kelly] The sensor's not picking up anything.

It's completely blank.

- [Victor Pearson] What do you mean blank?

- There's nothing here.

There's no readings of any kind.

- That's impossible.

You saw the reports.

Or do you want me to second guess someone

who gives up so easily as a partner?

You know, perhaps I should reconsider my proposal.

- [Kelly] Well, there's the old Victor.

Always the stick before the carrot.

Let me save you the trouble.

I'm out.

- [Victor Pearson] What about Josie?

I thought you came back to be closer to her.

- I'll be keeping close to her no matter where I am.

And I would never leave her here

if I thought any trouble would come to her

as a result of you pursuing this fantasy of yours.

- What's happening?

- I don't know, it's something with the sensor.

(lightning flashes)

- She's in trouble.

- [Professor Z] No, Josie, no.

- We gotta get clear.

- [Professor Z] Go, go, go, go, go.

Josie.

- Mom!

- Josie?

Don't hold on to things that can hurt you.

Just throw it away.

- Josie.

Come on.

Come on.

(lightning continues flashing)

(portal opens)

- [Professor Z] Josie!

Come on, come on, come one.

- Honey. I'm really sorry, but my plans have changed

and I'm not gonna be able to stay on after all.

- Not even for a quick visit?

- This one will have to do us until I can get back.

- I was kind of looking forward to having you around.

- [Kelly] I know, me too.

The job I had in mind, it just-

It looked better than it really was.

I found out I couldn't entirely trust the person

I was gonna be working for.

And trust is important.

(car door closes)

(car starts)

(car horn honks)

- So what's this big news you couldn't tell us last night?

- Aside from the fact that you traveled through a wormhole

went into the past and saved your mother

from Victor Pearson?

- Hey, look guys, do we even know for sure my dad

had anything to do with that thing exploding?

- Clearly.

- It has to do with what happened when I got back.

I'm not 100%, but I think Victor may

have seen, seen me come out of the vortex.

Sorry guys.

- [Victor Pearson] You know what this is, Amanda.

- It's a computer chip.

- From one of my experiments.

It's been sabotaged.

We have a spy in our midst.

(firework explodes)

(rock music begins)

? Oh oh, oh yeah, oh oh oh oh yeah. ?

? Oh oh oh oh, oh yeah. ?
