In fact, its arguably THE single most influential moment in American history: the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

So this is like if Donnie Wahlberg assassinated the president, Rufus replies.
Its exactly like if the guy fromBlue Bloodsassassinated the president.
Rufus says his name is Denzel Washington, while Lucy goes by Juliet Shakesman.
Its our job to protect history, Lucy tells him.
Yeah, rich white guys history, Rufus replies.
A lot of my history sucks.
NEXT: Bye bye, Booth
It turns out that Flynn is determined to do just that.
Notably, the Secret Service didnt exist until a few weeks after Lincolns death.
They also probably would have stopped the Lincoln assassination, but thats another matter.
Their struggle is enough to protect Grant, but Flynn still manages to get away.
So, not that much has really changed.
Back in the present, things are largely the same, although Lucys sister Amy is still nonexistent.
So why is Lucy still around?
Turns out that Lucys dad is not who she thinks he is.
This is only episode 2, and things are already getting complicated.
To further complicate things, we learn a little bit more about the mysterious Rittenhouse.
Rufus isnt comfortable with this, but as Mason reminds him, he doesnt have much of a choice.
We wrap things up with Lucy returning home to her now cancer-free mother and her nonexistent sister.
As she arrives home, she walks right into the middle of her own engagement party.
In this new timelines, Lucy is engaged!
And she has no idea who her fiance is.
We briefly meet him when he walks up behind her and kisses her, much to her horror.
Hey, as far as mystery fiances go, hes pretty attractive.
You couldve done a lot worse, Lucy.
Odds and ends
