He may have begun to convince his wife that he is actually travelling through time, and not just bingeing on the Narcotics Express, but Dan Vassar still has to convince himself. He books in for an MRI scan at the hospital, as his ‘jumps’ are preceded by severe headaches – the results will be in on Tuesday, and in the meantime the two are going away for the weekend. However, while on the plane he shifts back in time again, finding a pregnant woman about to go into labour. Back in the present, Katie’s flight has been turned back to San Francisco due to Dan’s disappearance, and the FBI are particularly interested in how he managed it. Dan wakes up back in the airport, in his proper time, and the Feds are finally convinced that he ran off the plane just before boarding.
The couple return home, and Dan travels to the Eighties, where he is woken by Livia. She gives him a few tips on what he needs and what he can’t take (apparently, citrus explodes during time travel). Dan meets the woman he helped on the plane, who recognises him, and says that her daughter wants to meet her father. Dan finds himself privy to a conversation after another jump, in which Tana, the girl, tells her father that her mother has passed away. Another few jumps later, and Dan manages to convince the girl to see if she can give her father a bone marrow transplant, as he is now dying from leukaemia. She is not compatible, however her marrow is with another patient, whose life is saved from the operation and ends up flying humanitarian missions in Darfur. In the present, Dan and his wife find out they have been placed on the no-fly list.
