Because 1893 and 1918 arent as different as 1893 and 2017, John easily acclimates himself.

Translation: He immediately kills some guy and then steals his money, clothing, and papers.

Its here were reminded that H.G.

Wells goes alone to 1918, but lets be honest: H.G.

Wells is bad at time traveling, even when its something closer to his own time.

He should always have a buddy with him anyway, even if its not Jane.

Meanwhile, John cant help but smoothly infiltrate any and all possible time travel scenarios.

Gee, imagine if hed actually use his diabolical powers for good.

Exhibit A: H.G.

But here comes the wrinkle: Henry is a fundamentally good person.

We either reject the darkness, or we let it destroy us, says Henry.

Just picture Johns clenched jaw here.

Thats on top of Henry talking crap about his father, unaware that John is that very man.

He talks about how the man abandoned his mother without a care in the world.

Clenched jaw all day.

As Brooke mentioned last week, this is the day Henry died, on an ambushed transport vehicle.

Johns plan is simple dont let Henry get on that vehicle.

Not even talking about Johns groan-worthy comment about the war of the worlds.

You dont want to call the man stupid, but then moments like this happen.

Its really hard to root for Wells (and Jane) because of them.

Hes supposed to bebrilliant.

Henry wakes up, tied to a chair thats just tough love from daddy dearest.

Instead, he dies that day at the cafe.

And in the same newspaper article, she sees the body of Wells, so of course she goes.

(Though, disappointingly enough, Wells really just kind of passes out after the Paris Gun blast.

He ends up having worse brain conditions, but besides the ear blood, they barely sell it.)

Of course, as mentioned before, he does.

Because Jane says kindly a lot and reminds him hes a doctor.

So Wells is fine, and John is now a prisoner in Vanessas basement.

If he doesnt, then the annoying references to his future works will mean absolutely nothing, right?

Also, Jane has apparently been calling in sick to the museum these days.

(Janes document person is never mentioned this episode, so there goes that use.)

Wells and time travel.

Hes actually kind of a sweetheart, too.

Sorry, Griffin Monroe.

At least well always have the fact that your name is Griffin Monroe.

Brooke, however, is unrepentant in her quest for revenge against the Anders empire.

Guess who the first test subject was for Project Utopia?

Remember, this is research initially from 1980 (at the latest).

The answer is John Stevenson.

The twists never stop, do they,Time After Time?
