The Lifeboat team travels to January 2, 1941, Los Angeles, where Rittenhouse sleeper agent Lucas Calhoun, an RKO Pictures producer, steals the only existing copy of Citizen Kane to offers it to William Randolph Hearst as blackmail prize for a weekly column in all Hearst Communications papers, allowing Rittenhouse to manipulate history using propaganda. With the help of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, the trio kills Lucas and recovers the film. Rufus and Lamarr discuss intellectual property rights, leading to Lamarr becoming a tech billionaire in time. Working in the past and present, the trio and Agent Christopher orchestrate Flynn's escape from prison so that he can help the Lifeboat team with their missions from the bunker. Just after Wyatt and Lucy's close relationship finally becomes explicitly romantic and carnal, he discovers that his presumed-dead wife Jessica is alive. A medical exam finds spooked Jiya, who has true future visions, in peak health; Mason tells Agent Christopher that previous afflicted pilots suffered schizophrenia or death.
