Thats right: Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus are headed to Vegas, baby. After literally watching Lincoln get shot in the head, our historian heroes dont have much time to rest. Lucy barely even has time to get acquainted with her extremely attractive and extremely mysterious fiance. Credit: Sergei Bachlakov/NBC Which isnt exactly a bad thing. And we know even less about Rufus story. Does he even leave Mason Industries? It turns out that theres a lot going on in Vegas in 1962....

All we really know about Rufus is hes brilliant and Connor Mason is pressuring him into working for Rittenhouse. With no time to train the new guy, Wyatt gets to take one last trip into the past.

From the get-go, Flynn isnt playing around. But other than that, things have been pretty open-ended. But Flynn has no time to ponder paradoxes: Hes a man on a mission. Credit: Sergei Bachlakov/NBC He tasks Anthony with infiltrating mission control and taking out NASAs computer system with a basic DDoS attack. As Lucy puts it: Man, we live weird lives. Yes, you do.
