![]() ![]() Yet, along the way the team just had to figure out to survive once it was clear that they were wandering into a trap. That included a woman who wanted nothing more but to ensure that she could be reunited with her husband and her family. While there, we did see the team of Rufus, Jiya, Lucy, and Wyatt at their best - saving history, but also saving the people who were a part of that history. Of course, even with Flynn stopping Jessica, there was still another problem: Emma trying to eradicate the team from the timeline already by disposing of them in North Korea in the 1950’s.
