Eureka A month after the accident that killed Kim, Henry is still reliving it in holographic form. Carter reaches out, suggesting that the two of them help each other deal with their situation. But Henry keeps insisting that events will keep diverging further and further from the timelines they remember. Case in point: at a festival celebrating a solar eclipse, Kevin’s occupational therapist bursts into flames. Two Global Dynamics researchers suffer the same fate, and Carter tries to piece together the link between them while also dealing with the conflict between his memories and this new timeline. Another major shift occurs when Allison – not Henry – is placed in charge of Global Dynamics after Stark is removed. Carter realizes that all three victims were near the lab with the artifact when Kim died, which makes him wonder if Henry is responsible – and if Stark is next.
