- What are we doing back here?

- Savage has a timeship, courtesy of the Time Masters.

The timeline is unclear, due to our destruction

of the Oculus, meaning... Savage is lost to history.

Which is why I brought you all home.

- Mission's not over, man. - Jax is right.

We've lost Savage before. We'll find him again.

- And then what? We have no way

of killing Savage, particularly now

that Kendra and Carter are in his possession,

assuming that they're still alive,

which is highly unlikely. - So that's it?

We're--we're just giving up? - I'm on my way

to the refuge to retrieve our younger selves

and return them to the timeline.

It will be as if you never left.

- What, you think that we can just

return to our old lives, and then pretend

like none of this ever happened?

- Mm, that might be a tad difficult.

So I had to bring you back to May 2016, not January 2016.

- Great, so what you're saying is for the last five months,

my mom probably thinks that I'm dead.

Thanks a lot, man. - Okay, wait, why?

Why the change of plans, Rip?

where Earth and Thanagar weren't in alignment.
