| - After being transported away from an undetermined area/time on a prehistoric Earth in the previous episode, Tony Newman and Doug Phillips are sent forward in time, landing during the Battle of Gettysburg of 1863. A blast from a cannon goes off right by Newman, which, once Phillips asks for a nearby medic, Newman is pronounced dead at the scene. At Project Tic-Toc, it is confirmed that Phillips is the only signal being detected out of the two scientists. Convinced by a major to leave Newman behind for the time being and to assist him in tracking the enemy, he also has Phillips change into a Union uniform (even though as Phillips said, he was not a soldier). Meanwhile, personnel at Project Tic-Toc try a rare power surge to bring Newman back to life. It succeeds, but unfortunately he has no memory of who he is. Since he was revived next to an overturned courier’s wagon, he is assumed to be a Confederate officer, and dons such uniform to go about his newfound duties as a soldier, tracking down the enemy. Meanwhile Phillips and the Union major track down a mysterious person (who was briefly seen at the beginning with a large dog, being totally out of place, not wearing a uniform from either side, but a black cape) to his cabin, who has stolen a large amount of gunpowder, which must be recovered. He allows Phillips and the major inside, but turns the tables on them, severely wounding the major and disarming Phillips. Phillips is able to talk the man into letting him take the major into a storage room to try to care for him but the major passes away. Phillips then finds a trunk that is marked as Machiavelli, a philosopher and writer from several centuries before. Phillips (and the Project Tic-Toc personnel) surmise that the Time Tunnel was the cause for sending Machiavelli into the future. Newman then appears, which Phillips, after being unable to convince Newman that they are allies, is able to flee the cabin, but Machiavelli sends his dog after him. Project Tic-Toc then sends the dog back to his own time, but it causes an explosion and it is estimated that it will take hours for them to restore operations. Newman tracks down Phillips, who tries to talk some sense into Newman, but he takes Phillips back to Machiavelli, who is going to lead Newman and Phillips to the hidden gunpowder. Newman and Phillips get into another fight at the scene when Phillips threatens to blow up the gunpowder, then Newman finally gets his memory back. Machiavelli then lights the gunpowder himself when Phillips threatens that he will not get to enjoy the final battle (since, for the entire time, Machiavelli has just been enjoying himself and causing Newman and Phillips to square off against each other) as Project Tic-Toc tries to time-shift the scientists away.
