Hundreds of years in the future, the last surviving humans discover a way of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century — “travelers,” who assume the lives of seemingly random people. They’re also secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future. Armed only with their knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles, the travelers — who include an FBI agent, a single mother and a college student — discover that 21st-century relationships are as much of a challenge as their high-stakes missions.
| 2.01 Ave Machina | Air Date: December 26, 2017 |
Vincent Ingram recounts his arrival in the 21st century to his therapist, Dr. Perrow. Vincent’s arrival was meant to be the first test of projecting human consciousness through time and he was intended to die in the fall of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, so as not to affect the timeline – but soon after arrival, he went off-mission and into hiding from the Director. Meanwhile, Mac and his team are being interrogated by the FBI about the Quantum Frame and its purpose, while David deals with the aftermath of the assassination attempt on his life.
| 2.11 Simon | Air Date: December 26, 2017 |
The team track down Simon, a specialist who developed the consciousness transfer technology in the future, who was sent into a host body that developed schizophrenia after arrival. Simon, who set up the Travelers’ communications system in the 21st, is haunted by hallucinations of Vincent, who previously convinced an institutionalized Simon that the Director wanted him to next build transfer technology in the 21st.
| 2.12 001 | Air Date: December 26, 2017 |
Vincent asks the team to stand down and let him finish what he has been planning. When the team refuses to comply, Vincent holds the lives of Kat, David, Jeffery, Ray, and Grace over them, and forces them to reveal themselves as Travelers to the world. The team must make the choice between breaking protocol and thus risking being overwritten by the Director, or doing what they must to save the ones they’ve grown to care about since their arrival in the 21st.
| 3.01 Ilsa | Air Date: December 14, 2018 |
MacLaren, his team and their loved ones regroup at a safe house protected by the FBI, but doubts and betrayals may sabotage the rest of their mission.
| 3.04 Perrow | Air Date: December 14, 2018 |
The team learns that Traveler 001 is still alive in the body of his former psychologist, Perrow, when the Faction tries to capture him/her. Perrow dies but they believe 001 had access to a transfer device and as a result they are unsure where his consciousness now resides. Jeff, confronting the Travelers with his knowledge of their existence, is overwritten by a new Traveler. Grace grants a 21st century AI called Ilsa access to the Internet so MacLaren and his team can use it to find Traveler 001. Doubts about their loved ones worsen for Kat, Jeff and David, who is concussed.
