In the previous episode, the squad traveled to colonial Massachusetts in the 1690s to save the mother of Benjamin Franklin. It was the Salem witch trials and the nine women were about to be tried for witchcraft. This included Abiah (guest star Sofia Vassilieva), Ben's future mom.
With Wyatt busy looking for answers to an enigma, Lucy and Rufus went with Flynn (Goran Višnjic). They successfully saved Abiah, who was supposed to be executed by hanging.
In the present time, Wyatt finally met with his dead wife, Jessica (Tonya Glanz). Previously, he received a text from her, which sent him reeling. When they saw each other again, Jessica was angry with her husband. According to her, he was never around for her. Wyatt informed her that in his world, she died and left him all alone. Jessica did not believe him until she saw the Lifeboat in the bunker.
Jessica also met Lucy. Wyatt previous called Lucy to tell her that his wife was alive. She told him she was happy for him, but it was not entirely true. Lucy felt bad because Jessica appeared just when her relationship with Wyatt was doing good. They finally admitted that they like each other.
Lucy would not be the person to get in between Wyatt and his happiness, though. She kept on smiling even when she heard him urge Jessica to make their marriage work. In an interview with TVLine, series creator Eric Kripke explained that Lucy knows her place in this complicated love triangle.
"Lucy has really complicated feelings about Jessica. She, obviously, has finally, after a lot of reflection, fallen for Wyatt. She and Wyatt have both decided to let go of the past, in a way, and their pain, and focus on a future together, and now all of a sudden comes this woman out of Wyatt's past to really complicate things. There's no way she can't be hurt and confused. But by the same respect, she knows that this is the love of Wyatt's life," the EP said.
"Timeless" season 2 airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC.
