In Chapter 2, the show dipped into time travel territory with grand results.
But this beingLegion, were (thankfully) not talking about literal time travel.
This is Memory Work, one of the exercises the mutants at Summerland do to work through their issues.

(Talk Work comes next.)
And David could use the help.
Since arriving at the woodsy encampment, David has had a hard time adjusting to life outside Clockworks.
He doesnt have his meds.
The voices are louder than theyve been in years, but thats when Dr. Byrd steps in.
This is the first honest discussion hes had with someone about whats happening to him.
Hes not insane; hes just a telepathic, possibly (but really definitely) telekinetic mutant.
The first stop is Davids childhood.
Hes eight years old during the period he visits with Byrd and Ptonomy.
Showing up for a routine visit, Amy is met with some surprising news.
Clockworks has no record of David or his doctor.
This is similar to what we heard when David asked The Interrogator about Syd in the premiere.
We first see the subjectiveness of Davids memory when the trio of time travelers visit his room during bedtime.
Now outside the confines of Clockworks, their relationship has taken on new dimension.
They arent just two trapped patients looking for an outlet.
There is an emotional connection here thats real and genuinely caring.
The one with the yellow eyes reared its ugly head several times this week.
Though David was able to hide the creatures existence from Ptonomy and Dr. Byrd, Syd is onto him.
Theres a reason David is afraid for others to know about the devil.
