Wells and Jane Walker go back in time to 1980 to uncover the mysteries that elude them.
At the beginning of this weeksTime After Time, Johns still being held captive by mad scientist Brooke.
That plus John getting a taste of his own weak, defenseless medicine is definitely a good start.

Back at the kids table, H.G.
Not the Mel Gibson movie, either.
After Jane makes sure Wells doesnt think shes a harlot, that is.
This romantic moment is cut short by Doug debriefing them on Wells deceased stalker, Chad Holland.
Wells wants to go alone, but Jane insists he take her along, because: Im a historian.
Mmhmm, well see about that.
Three-year-old Vanessa even makes an appearance!
Full circle and whatnot.
The one historical, non-pop culture thing she should know who the president is she doesnt.
Greed was good, fashion was awful.
Just say things like Madonna and Wall Street and youll fit right in.
The cheating thing doesnt come back up, but its probably safe to assume that will be important.
Theres that fine line again, landing firmly on rude.
Funny but rude as heck.
What follows are shifty garage antics, as Jane and Wells witness the titular Secret Stolen.
David had Robert steal files for all the drug research on something called Project Utopia.
So Jane and Wells run, the smartest thing they could do.
Funny how Papa Monroe worked in the same field of work as Vanessas dad.
Wonder if theres any connection… oh, of course there is.
Project Utopia was Monroes project, and the rest is history.
Brooke is working specifically on radical gene therapy to make it change the way a psychopaths mind works.
Is it possible hes Frankensteins monster?
The pieces of the puzzle are all here,Time After Time!
Vanessa sets up a war veteran charity party for him; he sets up mass subterfuge.
Can you really blame him, though?
Her dad stole Project Utopia from his dad.
So, whats Project Utopia, Wells wonders, besides an ironic joke on me?
That is the question as is who Project Utopia was even stolen from in the first place.
We obviously know it was Papa Monroe, but Wells and Jane dont.
But where does Wells come in, and where do Chad and his mother Mary come in?
Dude, you have a gun.
Dude, youre facing a surgeon.
Take your pick of judgments for the latest incompetent member of Vanessas security team.
Sepia-toned March 30, 1918.
Meaning John is going to have a family reunion.
