A scientist's experiment to project things with light goes horribly wrong and he seeks revenge against the ones who sabotaged him in the first place. Meanwhile, the SOL crew is dragged back through a wormhole and find themselves back in their old time period complete with Ethan Hawke movies. Pearl and her minions are drawn to an abandoned castle where Pearl finds evidence that she's returned home to Castle Forrester (that and the ability to play the piano at will). Inspired by the device in the movie, Crow and Tom "project" significant objects belonging to Mike but it becomes evident to him that their procedure isn't quite what they said it is. Then, based on the popularity of the scientists in the movie, Mike convinces Prof. Lembach to stick around while Pearl looks through an old family diary where she discovers her family has always been involved with conducting weird experiments. An experiment of the Bots' gives Crow the touch of death but Mike doesn't believe it until he feels the results first hand. In the end, after being resurrected in the theater, Mike establishes a new foundation and offers grants to whoever's idea seems more worthy of it. Pearl then establishes herself in Castle Forrester.
