NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 Description, Courtesy of CBS:
The world’s most successful television series continues on the seductive shores of the Aloha State with the #1 new drama, NCIS: Hawai’i, where the first female Special Agent in Charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor, Jane Tennant, has thrived and risen through the ranks by equal parts confidence and strategy in a system that has pushed back on her every step of the way. Together with her unwavering team of specialists, they balance duty to family and country while investigating high-stakes crimes involving military personnel, national security and the mysteries of the sun-drenched island paradise itself.
Two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull, The Godfather Part II) will star in Netflix’s limited series Zero Day, marking the first time the acting icon has starred in a television series. De Niro will also be an executive producer on what the streaming service describes as a conspiracy thriller.
Netflix offered this brief description of the six-episode limited series: “Zero Day asks the question on everyone’s mind—how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?”
Zero Day was created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Pulitzer Prize winner Michael S. Schmidt. Homeland and Mad Men‘s Lesli Linka Glatter is on board to direct all six episodes. Oppenheim and Newman are writing the series as well as executive producing (Newman for Grand Electric). Schmidt, Glickman, and Linka Glatter are also serving as executive producers.
“I am a lifelong fan of Robert De Niro. To have him as a producing partner and star in this show is beyond my wildest dreams. And Lesli Linka Glatter has directed so many of my favorite episodes of television; she was our clear first choice to direct this show,” explained Eric Newman. “I am grateful to Netflix for their continued faith and support and thrilled to be in business with the amazing creative team of Noah, Lesli, and Jonathan on this timely (and terrifying) series.”
Noah Oppenheim added: “To see this ripped-from-reality thriller come to life, starring the legendary Robert De Niro, is more than we could have hoped.”
“Zero Day is a shrewd, heart-pounding conspiracy thriller that will keep audiences at the edge of their seat. What an honor to have this A-list caliber of talent assembled, led by the iconic Robert De Niro and brought to life by the unrivaled talents of Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, Lesli Linka Glatter and Michael S. Schmidt,” said Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix, US and Canada.
The 126 deals with a bizarre medical emergency on Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star season four episode seven. “Tommy Dearest” will air on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at 8pm ET/PT
The season four cast is led by Rob Lowe as Captain Owen Strand and Gina Torres as Captain Tommy Vegas. The season also stars Ronen Rubinstein as T.K. Strand, Sierra McClain as Grace Ryder, Jim Parrack as Judd Ryder, Natacha Karem as Marjan Marwani, and Brian Michael Smith as Paul Strickland. Rafael L. Silva is Carlos Reyes, Julian Works is Mateo Chavez, and Brianna Baker plays Nancy Gillian.
Episode seven guest stars include DB Woodside, Bella Blanding, and Anjali Bhiman.
“Tommy Dearest” Plot: Capt. Strand and the 126 help a husband whose wife “dies” when she is not upside down. Grace takes a call from a pizza delivery driver who is in for the shock of his life. Tommy is worried Trevor’s young daughter is a bad seed as she attempts to break them up. Paul is hesitant to go on a date with Asha, who knows him prior to his transition.
Nearly 20 years ago, Owen Strand was the lone survivor of his Manhattan firehouse on 9/11, and in the wake of the attack, was left with the unenviable task of rebuilding the station. After a similar tragedy strikes a firehouse in Austin, Texas, Owen – along with his troubled firefighter son, T.K. – takes his progressive philosophies of life and firefighting down to the Lone Star State to help them start anew.
On the surface, Owen is all about big-city style and swagger, but underneath, he struggles with a secret he hides from the world — one that could very well end his life.

It’s been 15 months since season two of Hulu’s The Great wrapped up and, finally, the streaming service has set a premiere date for season three. Elle Fanning took to Instagram to share the first photo of the new season and to announce season three will premiere on Friday, May 12, 2023.
All 10 episodes will be available on the premiere date for your binge-watching pleasure.
Created by Tony McNamara, The Great stars Fanning as Catherine and Nicholas Hoult as Peter. The cast also includes Phoebe Fox as Marial, Sacha Dhawan as Count Orlo, Belinda Bromilow as Aunt Elizabeth, and Adam Godley as Archie. Gwilym Lee plays Grigor Dymov, Charity Wakefield is Georgina, Douglas Hodge is General Velementov, and Bayo Gbadamosi plays Arkady.

The Season 3 Plot, Courtesy of Hulu:
Season 3 of The Great sees Catherine (Fanning) and Peter (Hoult) attempt to make their marriage work after some seemingly insurmountable problems. Peter witnessed his own attempted murder at Catherine’s hands, and she also imprisoned all of his friends. On top of this, Peter is at a loose end playing First Husband to Catherine’s reign, so he busies himself with fathering, hunting and salty culinary ventures. But they’re not enough to keep him contented as visions of his late father (played by Jason Isaacs) get in his head about his failures as Peter the Great’s son.
Catherine the Great starts making a name for herself beyond her borders and, inspired by a visit from the US ambassador, sets up a conference where peasants, nobles, and merchants can all give their input on developing a new Russia. She learns that even the best political leaders sometimes need to make compromises in order to progress.
Stranger Things has spawned a stage play. Kate Trefry, a writer and co-executive producer on the critically acclaimed, award-winning Netflix series, wrote Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which will launch in London’s West End’s Phoenix Theatre later this year.
The play’s based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Kate Trefry, and is rooted in the world and mythology of the series. Netflix offered this description of Stranger Things: The First Shadow:
“Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end.”
Stephen Daldry is directing the play with co-director Justin Martin. The creative team includes Miriam Buether (set design), Brigitte Reiffenstuel (costume design), Jon Clark (lighting design), Paul Arditti (sound design), and Jamie Harrison & Chris Fisher (illusions design).
The Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, are involved in the play as creative producers. “We are beyond excited about Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring, and Kate Trefry has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. You will meet endearing new characters, as well as very familiar ones, on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the future of Stranger Things. We’re dying to tell you more about the story but won’t – it’s more fun to discover it for yourself. Can’t wait to see you nerds in London!” stated Matt and Ross Duffer.
The play is produced by Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions. Tickets will go on sale this spring. Fans who register today at strangerthingsonstage.com will receive priority access.
“The world and mythology of Stranger Things has enabled a rich and fertile ground for creating an incredible story for the stage. The Duffer Brothers have built a huge global following for good reason, and a world-class creative team has built on their boundless imagination to dream up an unbelievably exciting theatrical event for our audiences,” stated Sonia Friedman. “Set within the canon of Stranger Things, this new play opens in London, with the West End hosting the only place in the world to experience this new story – for now. I’m thrilled to reunite with my visionary long-term collaborator Stephen Daldry. Together, with our brilliant Netflix partners, we can’t wait to welcome Stranger Things fans into theatre, and theatregoers into the realm of Stranger Things.”
“Stranger Things has captured the imagination of fans around the world and we are incredibly thrilled to expand this exciting universe with Netflix’s first live stage production. With the creative talents of Matt and Ross Duffer combined with Sonia Friedman and Stephen Daldry, theatregoers will be swept up in a truly epic event worthy of Stranger Things,” said Greg Lombardo, VP Live Experiences for Netflix.
Paramount+ is showing off the first teaser trailer for Fatal Attraction, the series inspired by the Oscar-nominated 1987 film.

The Plot, Courtesy of Paramount+:
Fatal Attraction is a deep-dive reimagining of the classic psychosexual thriller and ‘80s cultural touchstone. The new series will explore fatal attraction and the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes toward strong women, personality disorders, and coercive control.
Whitney Cummings leads the cast of Fox’s Accused season one episode 7. Directed by Julie Herbert from a script by Sonay Hoffman, “Brenda’s Story” will air on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT.
Sean Kleier plays Zeke Thompson, Mary Lynn Rajskub is Tess Richards, Baron Vaughn is Chad Jackson, Rhea Perlman is Joyce Golden, Alisen Down is Ellen Barry, and Jeff Clarke plays ADA Edward Lavigne. The cast also includes Rachael Crawford as Marilyn Kast, Rene Escobar Jr as Aaron Amipour, and Darlene Cooke as Judge Smith.
“Brenda’s Story” Plot: When an acerbic female stand-up comic is assaulted by a fellow comic, she uses her platform to try the case in the court of public opinion.
Accused is a collection of 15 intense, topical, and exquisitely human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast. Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial.
Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end, audiences will discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances and how one impulsive decision can impact the course of that life – and the lives of others – forever.

NBC’s La Brea wraps up season two with episode 14 which begins with Gavin at death’s door. Episode 13 ended with Gavin (Eoin Macken) and his group discovering Moore’s backup portal just as a gigantic lizard attacked. Gavin was thrown aside and landed on a stalagmite that pierced his abdomen. (Ouch.) The good thing about this is that it won’t be Gavin making the plan on how to get out of this situation. I have no idea why people continue to listen to him!
It’s determined they can’t lift Gavin off the rock or he’ll bleed out.
Judah (Damien Fotiou) hears something and Sam (Jon Seda) and Josh (Jack Martin) check it out. It turns out James (Jonno Roberts) knows about this portal, and he’s better armed than Gavin’s group. He’s holding her brother at gunpoint when Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) comes up behind and clobbers him on the head with a rock. He drops his gun, and now Sam has the upper hand.
They bring James back to the group to use his knowledge to open the portal. Unfortunately, Gavin won’t make it into the portal because he only has minutes to live once they move him.
Eve (Natalie Zea) comes up with the bright idea to go back in time four hours and warn everyone about the killer lizard. James leads the way into the large portal room and uses the contents of a box that matches the one Levi dug up to activate the portal.
James explains Eve will arrive close to this location, but he can’t say exactly where. Izzy’s going with her mom while Josh stays with Gavin.
Okay, there’s a catch…of course. No one can use the portal to go home while Eve’s using it to go back in time. If it’s used, Eve and Izzy won’t be able to get back to this time. Sam doesn’t want her to go and instead wants to start sending people home. But Riley (Veronica St. Clair) says “please” and convinces him to change his mind.
Eve and Izzy step through and land four hours earlier. Eve spots a cloud formation and recalls its location in relation to the lockbox. Off they go while Riley tends to Gavin’s wound in the cave.
There’s a loud bang and the portal starts to act up. James won’t tell them what’s going on unless they let him talk to Gavin.

Meanwhile, Veronica (Lily Santiago) takes a pregnancy test and is about to talk to Lucas (Josh McKenzie) about it when a white horse shows up. Lucas points out it has shoes and isn’t wild. He also reveals horses hated him as a kid – they must have known he was a bad guy. To prove the point, the horse races away when he approaches it.
Lucas decides they should stay in 10,000 BC. He has a criminal record and nothing to offer her back home. However, Veronica’s adamant that they return home because she’s pregnant. Lucas can only reply, “Oh.”
Eve and Izzy hear a gunshot and spot James holding Levi (Nicholas Gonzalez) and Ty (Chiké Okonkwo) at gunpoint. James now has the box that Levi dug up (so there is only one box) and was bringing to the clearing. Eve makes the decision they need to put helping Gavin on hold to help Levi and Ty.
James walks behind them and hits Levi. Eve shouts, distracting James long enough for Ty to try and get the gun. Ty fails, but at least he and Levi are alive.
James grabs the box and takes off running while Eve and Izzy give Ty and Levi the CliffsNotes version of what’s going on.
Scott (Rohan Mirchandaney) gives Petra the locket and inside is a photo of her and her mom. It turns out her mom is the lady Scott was supposed to have an interview with. As Scott’s rambling on about wanting to speak German fluently, Petra has an asthma attack. Scott recalls seeing an inhaler and they head off to fetch it.
James tells Gavin the cooling system is malfunctioning. There’s no running water going through the pipes and the machine’s overheating. It will fail in just a few hours. Gavin tells him to fix it, but James isn’t so inclined. Gavin reminds James that the fate of his family is resting in his hands, but James isn’t moved. He’ll only help if he’s promised access to the machine.
James plans to return to his time and restart the Lazarus Project. He doesn’t care that his adult son is dying in front of him.
Veronica and Lucas make it to the opening of the cave, and Lucas is still convinced they can raise a kid in 10,000 BC. Veronica reminds him he turned his life around, and together, they can make it through the rough spots.
Lucas is determined to stay in 10,000 BC.
The new foursome of Izzy, Eve, Levi, and Ty head toward the lockbox.
Back in the cave, Gavin tells the group James said they need water to cool the portal. Judah recalls a spring outside the cave and is heading out when Veronica and Lucas arrive. He needs their help, but Veronica tells Lucas to stay. She’s angry he doesn’t want to go home with her.

Eve, Izzy, Ty, and Levi see the aurora Eve and Izzy stepped through but it’s much smaller now. Levi wants Eve and Izzy to go through now or they may never get back. Eve refuses.
Josh takes care of his dad and cries, hands soaked with blood. Riley gives him a hug, assuring him his mom will come through. Josh admits he can’t stop caring about her and they kiss. Sam interrupts with news Josh’s dad needs him.
Gavin’s barely breathing and covered with sweat but manages to smile at Josh. He knows he’s dying and tells Josh he loves him and is proud of him. He also tells him to pass on that message to his mom and sister. Gavin knows it’s time and Josh will have to be strong.
Gavin pulls in a few more breaths and dies. Josh collapses over him and sobs.
Scott makes it to the campsite and grabs the inhaler. Petra’s okay and shares a photo of military barracks here in 10,000 BC. Scott realizes Petra understands when he asks himself a question in English and that Petra’s just pretending not to speak the language.
Scott promises he can trust him and asks for more details about Petra’s family. Petra says if Scott helps her find her mom, she’ll tell him everything.
Judah and Veronica discover a fallen tree is blocking the water so it can’t flow down the pipes.
In the cave, Sam tries to get Lucas to go help Veronica figure out a solution. Lucas continues to mope and claims not to be good at anything. He shares that Veronica’s pregnant and Sam realizes Lucas thinks he’ll screw up their child like his dad messed him up. Sam delivers one of his patented pep talks, attempting to convince Lucas that change is possible – if he lets it.
Eve’s group makes it to the lockbox and the map’s still there, which means they beat Gavin. Levi volunteers to stay and wait for Gavin so Eve and Izzy can leave. But a roaring lizard complicates things. Ty knows no one can hang around and wait, so Levi suggests they leave them a note, and Eve writes it on the map.
They head back to the aurora.
Judah and Veronica can’t get the tree to budge, and the machine overheats and shuts down. The aurora’s gone when Eve’s group shows up to step through it.
Lucas arrives on the white horse with a rope and has the horse pull the tree off the pipes. Veronica’s ecstatic and Lucas says sometimes people can change.
The water did the trick and the machine’s back online, which means the aurora’s open again. Levi and Ty step through it with Eve and Izzy.
They arrive back in the cave and Gavin’s fine! He holds up the map and says, “I got your message.”
Hugs all around and Sam suggests since the machine’s working they should all go home.
A short while later, Eve explains Ty’s on his way to ask Paara to hold onto James, the main group’s gathered outside the cave, and they’ll fetch Scott and others from the campsite. Eve gives Gavin the gun and Gavin shows Eve her wedding ring she dropped after stepping through the portal. She jokes she can’t get rid of it and then turns serious.
“There’s one more decision we’re going to have to make when we get back…are we going to have pizza or Chinese for dinner?” says Eve, laughing.
Gavin places the ring back on her finger, recalling everything they’ve been through. She walks off and gives him a minute to himself with the portal.
Eve, Izzy, and Josh leave the cave. James watches them walk by as he works on untying his hands.
Lucas tells Veronica he wants to name the baby Lucas Jr if it’s a boy. But if it’s a girl, he’s always liked the name Ella.
Katherine, one of the clearing women, chats with Sam and he admits he’s excited to go home but has to figure out what’s next. She thanks him for getting everyone through this and hands him her number. He can call her anytime…if her number still works. (So that must be setting up a new season three relationship.)
Scott holds up the locket and Levi sees the pattern. He has a matching design tattooed on his bicep and quickly covers it with his shirt.
Gavin takes a last look at the portal and shoves Moore’s journal into his pocket. He’s about to walk out when James hits him over the head. James steps up to the control panel and explains he’s figured out love creates weakness. He should never have thought about his family. Now, he’s going to remove anyone who will stand in his way. He believes controlling the world is the only way to affect change. (Why did they leave James in the cave instead of taking him out where everyone can watch him?)
Gavin reminds him they’ll all cease to exist, and James doesn’t care. James approaches Gavin to retrieve the journal and Gavin makes his move. The gun fires and the bullet makes a hole in the water pipe. Another round goes off, and another hole’s created.
Steam rises and more bullets ring out. James punches Gavin in the face and knocks him down. He grabs the journal which fell out of Gavin’s pocket during the fight and is about to step through the portal when Gavin grabs the gun and yells his name. James doesn’t pause and Gavin shoots him twice before he can step through.
James says, “Tell your sister I’m sorry I failed.” Gavin has no clue what he’s talking about and demands to know why James kept her a secret. “Believe me, when she comes for you, you’ll know why,” warns James. (So, the sister is the new season three baddie?)
James dies as the portal begins making loud beeps and a warning notification shows up on the control panel.
Multiple auroras begin appearing in the sky, as though dozens of portals opened simultaneously. Scott reveals they’re doorways to different times and anything could be coming through them.
Izzy, Eve, and Josh find Gavin over James’ dead body. The portal makes a loud banging noise and the control panel screen shows “Portal Destination Malfunction” with the dates 500 BC, 2155, and 1995. That’s followed by 66,000 BC, 1986, and 1653. Soon the screen fills with more dates – 3091, 2021, 1601, 1597, 9000 BC, 1843, 1764, 1402, etc. – and Eve realizes they can’t control where the portal will send them.
They need to leave as the machine makes more loud warning sounds but Eve returns to grab Moore’s journal. A new warning pops up –“Containment Protocols Activated” – and the door slams shut before she can leave the portal room. Gavin’s able to break the door’s small window and the machine starts sucking everything into it.
Before it can pull Eve in, she hands them the journal and assures them they’ll find each other again.
In the final minutes of season two, Eve is pulled backward through the portal. It shuts down after she’s gone, and the door opens.
Gavin, Izzy, and Josh exit the cave but no one’s out there anymore. They hear a loud thump and spot a huge animal’s footprint. The thump sound belongs to a T-Rex!
SUGA of the popular K-pop group BTS will hold his first solo world tour. The announcement was made on February 14, 2023 via the global platform Weverse. Suga is the first BTS member to go on a solo tour.

NBC’s La Brea season two episode 12 ended with Levi (Nicholas Gonzalez) blowing up the tower. Episode 13, “The Journey Part 1,” confirms the building’s been destroyed but, miraculously, everyone escaped. Only Levi was slightly injured.
Back at the camp, everyone’s dealing with the fact their only way home is gone. Ty’s returned to the fort and Paara, and a bloody nose indicates his cancer’s progressing.
Sam (Jon Seda) holds a community meeting and announces that since they are there for the duration, they need to form a government. Lucas (Josh McKenzie) tosses his hat into the ring – as does Sam – and Judah appoints himself election commissioner.
Gavin (Eoin Macken) is in a surprisingly good mood, considering the circumstances. He’s decided to focus on Eve and the kids. However, when he and Eve (Natalie Zea) kiss, she accidentally slices her hand. Gavin reveals she had that cut in his vision of her death – and it was fresh.
Eve and Gavin tell the kids what’s happening, suggesting they just keep living their lives. Gavin is sure they’ll figure this out.
Meanwhile, Levi (Nicholas Gonzalez) is hanging out at the fort since the clearing people don’t want him around. Ty (Chiké Okonkwo) brings him lunch, and Levi suggests they take a walk in the fresh air. (The fort is outdoors, so the air is just as fresh where Levi’s sitting as outside the enclosure, but, okay.)
They walk and although Ty’s a therapist, he reminds Levi he’s not his therapist. Ty’s bleeding continues, and it makes no sense he’s exerting himself on this walk. He informs Levi that he can’t get the pills that would have saved his life because of him. He leaves Levi alone to think about his actions.
Sam’s working on his speech when Riley notices her dad doesn’t have his wedding ring. (We saw him playing with it minutes ago, but Riley didn’t see that.) Lucas is also practicing his speech and Veronica thinks it’s cute that he’s putting all this effort into trying to become a leader.
Veronica thinks the coordinates might still get them home, and Lucas is sure she’s figured it out. Lucas notices her hands are clammy, but Scott (Rohan Mirchandaney) interrupts them before they can discuss Veronica’s health.
Levi’s wandering around when he stumbles into Kira. She and some others from the building also survived and she wants his help retrieving a 10,000 BC survival kit Taamet buried in the village. She thinks he owes it to everyone he displaced, and Levi suggests a trade. He’ll get the box if she gives him the treatment for Ty’s cancer.
Gavin visits Silas at the fort and Silas explains Paara is holding him accountable for his past nefarious actions. Gavin shows him Moore’s journal and Silas is shocked by what he reads. He believes Moore must have had a machine here in 10,000 BC and that it is still around. Gavin latches onto the idea of finding it and going home.
Silas believes Moore’s machine won’t create sinkholes like the Lazarus Project. He also knows Moore was incredibly secretive, so it will be well hidden.
Back in the clearing, speeches have been made and it’s time to vote. But wait, Gavin arrives with news that Moore built another portal and it’s only 15 miles away. They know its location because Veronica deciphered Aaron’s clue in the back of the journal. It’s possible they still have a way home! Woohoo!
Anyone who wants to go should gather their stuff and meet up in an hour.
Riley praises Veronica for figuring it out and then notices she doesn’t look well. Riley thinks it might be from the toxins in her system from the sting and heads over to look through supplies for pain relievers. While she’s gone, Veronica takes something from Riley’s backpack.
A large group of clearing dwellers begin their 15-mile walk while Levi digs up Taamet’s box at the fort. Silas joins him and threatens to call the guards if Levi doesn’t tell him what’s going on. Levi’s forced to fill Silas in on his meeting with Kira, and Silas wants in. If he helps Levi save Ty’s life, Paara might let him off the hook.
Once they’ve made it away from the fort, they decide to open the box and Levi looks around for something to break the lock. Silas runs off with the box while Levi’s back is turned.
Unfortunately for Silas, he isn’t exactly a fast runner and Levi quickly catches up with him.
Silas insists he’s going to use the box to get close to Kira and get revenge for Caroline’s murder. Levi insists revenge won’t fix the pain. After destroying the tower, he still feels the loss of his daughter. Silas thinks they can get revenge and Ty’s pills.
The clearing people take a break in their walk while Sam and Gavin look for a way around a steep hill. Izzy uses the break to tell her bro to make up with Riley.
Riley helps one of the clearing people who needs a wound dressed, but she doesn’t have the proper bandage. She rummages through her dad’s backpack and finds divorce papers. Sam discovers her reading them and confesses he took off his wedding ring. It’s complicated, and he suggests now’s not the time to have this discussion.
The walk begins again, and Scott realizes Judah’s happy. Scott never asked about Judah’s life back home; it turns out he has a hot wife and a hot tub. And…Scott’s not listening now, either. He’s distracted by a dead body under a bush and summons the group to check it out.
It turns out there are multiple dead bodies and it appears they were attacked by an animal.
If it wasn’t for Scott seeing dead people, Gavin might not have realized they were about to walk by the spot the coordinates were leading them to. Wait, what? They would have just kept on walking if Scott hadn’t spotted a body?

They spread out and look around the area and Scott finds a teddy bear, so they must have had a kid with them. Scott also finds a locket with a symbol that he realizes matches the symbol on the business card of the people he was supposed to meet for a job interview the day he fell into the sinkhole. He has no idea what it all means. (Join the club, Scott.)
Sam spots a lockbox set into a rock and Gavin hands over the key he found near Moore’s dead body. It fits, and the box contains a map of a cave system where the portal’s probably located.
Riley and Veronica talk and walk, and Riley reveals she knows Veronica stole a pregnancy test. Veronica’s worried she doesn’t know how to be a mom, and Riley gives her a pep talk. Veronica decides to tell Lucas and then take the test.
A kid pops her head out of the woods and then runs off. Scott locates her and hands over the stuffed bear to prove he can be trusted and isn’t a bad guy. Izzy spots one of the red flowers on the kid’s shirt and runs off a short distance. Her family follows and are shocked to see a sea of red flower trees in between them and Moore’s portal.
Sam thinks Eve might not be the only one in danger and suggests a few go to the cave to make sure it’s safe. Sam will check things out with Gavin, Josh, Izzy, and Judah.
Elsewhere, Kira and two armed guards meet with Levi to do the exchange. Before she hands over Ty’s pills, the guards use a Geiger counter on the still-locked box. When it’s opened, Kira confirms the contents are fuel rods for machines that manipulate time. Levi points out he destroyed her machine and Kira says he only destroyed the first one. The journal indicates Moore built another.
Levi realizes the box is Moore’s, not Taamet’s, and that she lied. The guards pull their guns on Levi and are quickly killed by Paara and her warriors. Silas is with Paara’s group as Paara orders Kira to be taken to the village. Paara retrieves the pills and decides that since Silas helped Ty, he deserves another chance.
Scott tries to get the kid to talk and it turns out her name’s Petra and she speaks German. Fortunately, Scott took two semesters and manages to communicate with her.
Lucas admits to Veronica that he thinks he should stay in 10,000 BC because he’s a better man here than he was up there. Veronica suggests working on it together, but Lucas doesn’t think he can be the person she expects him to be back in LA. Veronica puts off telling him she might be pregnant.
A storm is about to hit, and Scott asks Petra about a cave. (Is the word “cave” so common that Scott remembers it from two semesters of German?) Petra reacts in fear and repeats “monster” in English. He quickly draws a picture of a massive lizard killing a stick figure. Petra also reveals the lizard lives in the caves where Gavin’s group is heading.
Eve and Riley grab their bags and head out to warn them.
Gavin’s group notices the cave has been retrofitted except for the massive claw marks in the walls. The marks don’t stop them; they head further into the cave.
Back at the fort, Ty thanks Levi for saving his life. Levi’s decided that he might be able to atone for his past actions by bringing the clearing people the box with fuel rods. Ty’s already feeling better and volunteers to go with him.
Gavin’s group comes upon a door just as Eve and Riley run up. Eve explains there’s something dangerous in the cave and Gavin points out there’s a tree with red flowers right next to the door. Gavin has the vision of Eve lying dead, cut in her palm, with red flowers falling on her body just as the prehistoric lizard growls.
It quickly launches an attack and Gavin knocks Eve aside, causing her to drop her spear. The lizard hits Gavin and knocks him out of the way, but Eve – in full-on momma bear mode – picks up the spear and stabs the lizard, killing it.
Everyone’s safe except for Gavin, who landed on a stalagmite that pierced his abdomen.
