The Lifeboat returns to the present, where Lucy's fiance Noah patches him up. Flynn jumps to Washington, D.C., in 1954 to put an end to Rittenhouse by blowing up the site of their summit. The team jumps after him, but Jiya is forced to join, as Rufus is too weak to pilot the craft, despite the uncertainty of putting four people into a three-person time machine. Agent Christopher is arrested, only to be freed by Mason, who reveals to have been secretly working against Rittenhouse all this time. In the past, Flynn blackmails Joseph [=McCarthy=] for the location of the summit and has him arrest Lucy and Wyatt as Soviet spies. They escape and trail Lucy's grandfather Ethan Cahill to a gay club, where they convince him to help them stop Rittenhouse. At the summit, Lucy convinces Flynn to try a nonlethal way of stopping the conspiracy. Jiya suffers a seizure as a side effect of time travel, so Rufus and Wyatt jump back to get her to a modern hospital. Lucy stays with Flynn and convinces Ethan to help them by keeping detailed records of Rittenhouse activities and members over the next several decades. In the present, Lucy meets with the aging Ethan, who gives her all the records, which Christopher and Mason use to start arresting Rittenhouse members, starting with Neville and Lucy's father. Rufus and Jiya admit their love for one another, only for Jiya to have a FlashForward to a possible future (or, perhaps, a FlashSideways to an alternate present), where the Golden Gate Bridge is in ruins. Lucy gives Flynn the name of the Rittenhouse member, who ordered his family's death, only for Christopher to follow her and arrest him. Christopher gives Lucy a chance to restore her sister with one last trip. Wyatt appears to be finally accepting Jessica's death as inevitable and may harbor feelings for Lucy. Lucy visits her mother and tells her about the time machine and Amy. She is shocked, when her mother reveals to come from a longstanding Rittenhouse family. Emma reclaims the Mothership and is implied to be a Rittenhouse agent.
