'Time After Time' Season 1 Episode 5: H.G. Chases John to 1918 Paris, Vanessa Uncovers Project Utopia
The time machine failed to contain John, aka Jack the Ripper (Josh Bowman), and the show's main antagonist finally escaped out of the present timeline and right into Paris, France in the year 1918. Determined to apprehend his former friend turned worst enemy, H.G. (Freddie Stroma) will make chase on the next episode of "Time After Time."
Titled "Picture Fades," the upcoming episode will bring H.G. back to 1918 Paris in search of John before the psychopathic time traveler ends up altering the fabric of time, whether intentionally or by accident. Will H.G. find John in time to stop the latter from killing again, or has their mere presence in that place, on that exact time, already sent ripples vibrating through the future?
The official trailer for the episode reveals that the change of environment will only reinvigorate John's will to kill again. And in the process, he will find a way to gain more power and thus cause a stronger ripple in time, despite H.G.'s warnings.
