6.397 - 18.948 Benjamin

There are kids in this world who are different.

0

19.629 - 20.069 Birdie

Special.

0

21.771 - 22.752 Unknown

One of them found us.

0

24.033 - 27.196 Brinley

And became family.

27.316 - 35.404 Birdie

But her time ran out. And now, that girl is missing.

64.038 - 66.682 Dr. Whittier

Holiday, I'd like you to come back with me to Alaska.

67.122 - 68.925 Birdie

Is that an invitation or an order?

69.385 - 78.478 James Anders

Listen, old man, this is my house, and since my parents aren't home, what I say goes. You and your commando wannabes are trespassing on private property.

Chapter 2: How do Cyrus and Brynleigh plan to find Penn?

120.607 - 121.849 James Anders

I'm not scared of these freaks.

0

122.249 - 128.277 Birdie

Thanks, James. I'm sorry, Holliday, about all of this. All good.

0

128.597 - 129.939 Monica Purcell

Come on, Monica, let's go.

0

134.285 - 136.307 Dr. Whittier

Thank you for agreeing to speak with me, Holliday.

0

136.488 - 145.282 Birdie

Look, I understand that I may look like your daughter, But I'm visiting from out of town. Just trying to save up some money to get home.

145.382 - 174.032 Dr. Whittier

Who sent you back here? Cyrus? The grown version of Monica? I don't... Here's a story that may help to jog your memory. When my daughter Adelaide was a toddler and learning how to speak, she couldn't pronounce her name. She called herself Alladay. And from that, her nickname became Holiday. So let's be honest about who you are. You're my little girl. And you're here from the future.

192.76 - 194.703 Birdie

Sit here, Mon, so I can make sure the framing is right.

194.924 - 200.994 Unknown

Does this Dr. Adam Head really need to see my face in the video call? I'll chime in when I have to.

201.035 - 204.901 Birdie

He claims he worked for Whittier, so I was hoping you two could bond over that.

Chapter 3: What conflict arises with Dr. Whittier and his men?

226.603 - 229.188 Birdie

When did you get so grown up?

0

229.548 - 233.815 Unknown

Seriously, your date is going to think he hit the lottery when he sees you, Bird.

0

233.835 - 241.368 Birdie

Mom, I told you, Brian's not my date. He's a friend. I'm just going with Brian because he's new to our school and I wanted to go to the dance.

0

241.649 - 243.512 Unknown

But the boy has eyes, right?

0

243.832 - 250.638 Brinley

You guys talking about Birdie's date? Oh, Bird, check you out. Miss Birdie cleans up very nice.

251.199 - 252.22 Birdie

Thanks, I thought.

252.46 - 254.362 Brinley

You look pretty snazzy yourself, Sai.

254.903 - 259.489 Birdie

You're wearing a suit just to play chauffeur for me and my date? I mean, friend.

259.869 - 262.572 Brinley

Actually, I'm going to the dance, too.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation between Holiday and Dr. Whittier unfold?

319.886 - 322.391 Birdie

Daddy, this is like picture number 7,000.

0

323.332 - 330.806 Cyrus

It's not every day my baby goes to a homecoming dance. Come on, just one more. I promise. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, with the axe over your head.

0

331.086 - 332.168 Birdie

Like this?

0

332.148 - 344.621 Cyrus

Perfect! Oh, my goodness. Shame your mother couldn't be here to see this. Yeah. At least we'll have these pictures to show her when she wakes up. She's so proud of the woman you're turning into. We both are.

0

345.061 - 349.646 Birdie

Thanks, Daddy. And whatever happens tonight, I know this will never change.

350.467 - 350.727 Cyrus

This?

351.147 - 354.411 Birdie

I just mean... Did you see that?

355.392 - 355.672 Cyrus

What?

356.493 - 361.598 Birdie

No, I thought... I thought I saw someone over there in the woods. Never mind.

Chapter 5: What backstory is revealed about Holiday's identity?

400.772 - 404.895 Dr. Whittier

Leave me, my company, and our family alone. Or else.

0

405.776 - 406.937 Birdie

What does or else mean?

0

407.478 - 421.138 Dr. Whittier

I know quite a bit about young Monica. I could do all kinds of things to disrupt her future. That boy who was flexing his muscles earlier. James Anders. Monica's future husband. Cyrus's father.

0

421.578 - 437.293 Birdie

Dr. Whittier, I really don't know what you... mean. James... and Monica... They... They don't... They don't... know... Holiday!

0

438.114 - 449.365 Dr. Whittier

Holiday, what's wrong? The girl's passed out. Come get her. We're taking Holiday back to Juno.

459.605 - 461.09 Birdie

Hey, Cyrus.

461.11 - 467.37 Brinley

Brinley, you look so ready for a homecoming dance.

467.435 - 472.3 Birdie

You know me, can't resist a chance to dress up, even though this dance is NBD.

472.32 - 479.206 Brinley

Next business day? No big deal. Oh, right. Because we're on a mission, not a date.

Chapter 6: How do the characters react to the situation with Holiday?

509.778 - 517.688 Birdie

He's my friend. Badger. Badger? Have we met before? You seem vaguely familiar to me.

0

517.949 - 523.456 Cyrus

I thought the same. Hmm. Me too. Don't think so. Guess I just have one of those faces.

0

524.742 - 528.107 Cyrus

So, let me get a few pictures of the four of you before you go.

0

528.127 - 533.515 Birdie

Oh, Daddy. Don't block my shoes, Birdie. They make the look. Whatever.

534.036 - 540.546 Cyrus

Okay, now, uh, all right, now, now, uh, stand together. Uh, there we go. Yeah, now say, uh, caribou. Huh?

540.566 - 541.287 Birdie

Just go with it.

542.689 - 547.597 Brinley

Caribou! Okay, we better get going. We have a job to do. I mean, dance to get to.

547.857 - 551.543 Cyrus

Uh, you kids have a nice time. Take lots of pictures.

Just do me a favor. Try to stay in this timeline if you can.

0

585.779 - 607.231 Birdie

I'm worried about Holiday. She's been talking to Dr. Whittier for a long time. Guys, come here. Look outside. Whittier's men are loading Holiday into the helicopter. What? Oh my goodness. She looks unconscious. Come on. Hey! Stop right there! What did you do to her?

0

607.251 - 614.221 James Anders

Where do you think you're taking Holiday? Come back here! Monica, let her go. I can't! Monica, stay back. You can't get too close.

614.241 - 614.622

You're taking long.

Hey, Mon, stay close by. It's almost time to connect with Dr. Adam Head.

625.902 - 634.213 Casey

Here we go. Who's calling me? Hello? Casey. Penn, is that you?

634.233 - 639.8 Benjamin

Yeah, I... By any chance, are you coming to the homecoming dance?

639.921 - 642.824 Casey

If this is an invitation, you're a little late, Benjamin.

642.965 - 643.225

I need to go.
