3rd Person POV

Brooklyn walks out of the kitchen and through the hallways with Maddie on her hip

Sara walks out of her room and sees Brooklyn with Maddie. "It's like 11 at night, what is she still doing up?" Sara asks, waiting for Brookyln to catch up with her in the hallway

"She was hungry." Brooklyn says with a shrug. "So was I. We got some food. She's a night owl, who would have thought." She adds sarcastically

"Wow, I wonder where she got that from." Sara says sarcastically as the two turn the corner in the hallway, bumping into Constantine. "Going somewhere?" She asks

"Spare me the sendoff, Lance." Constantine says. "I'm leaving before you and your band of botherers can suck me into another world-saving sing-along."

"Actually, I was just gonna say we're still waiting for you to move out." Sara tells him. "There's a box in the library labeled "arcana" that's been sitting there for months."

"I'd avoid touching that if I was you." Constantine says

"Behrad already tried to move it and now he thinks he's being haunted by a forlorn mariner." Brooklyn tells him

"And he's right, but I can't stick around to help the bloke." Constantine says. "I'm off to research a more lasting solution to your encore problem."

"Did someone say encore?" Ray asks in a sing song way, poking his head into the hallway

"I also said no musical numbers, so please don't start." Constantine says

"Listen, I might have a solution to your problem." Ray says

"I can't take you with me on this one, squire." Constantine says. "Where I'm going, I need to walk alone. With Gary."

"Okay, but look – we're on a timeship." Ray says. "And let's be honest, we're a little past the whole 'should we change history' debate, right? So what if we go back to when the encores were kids and reform them before they break bad?"

"Ray, we're dealing with the villains of history fresh out of hell." Sara tells him. "They can't just be reformed like your–"

"Ray, where are you?" Nora's voice questions

"Like your fairy god-girlfriend." Constantine says. "Speaking of which, I think that your services are required, squire." He tells him with a wink before leaving

The team (all but Mick) stands around the bridge as Nate and Behrad join the group. Nate holds his arms out for Maddie and Brooklyn passes her daughter over. Once Maddie is out of her arms, Brooklyn stretches her wrist that was still healing

"A serial killer has been freed from hell and is on the loose in 2004." Gideon announces

"And somehow, the scariest thing about this mission is going back to the early 2000s." Sara says

"A coroner was found dead while transporting the body of a famed serial killer." Gideon says, bringing up an image on the console

"Oh, my God!" Ava exclaims, looking at the picture. "It's Freddy Meyers, the Prom Night Slasher." Sara and Brooklyn share a look before looking back at Ava. "Come on, guys. I ranked him #5 killer of all time on Stab Cast. My podcast about serial killers. Babe?" She says, looking at Sara. Brooklyn's eyes widen as she looks at Sara again

"As I was going to say, Freddy killed seven of his peers before–" Gideon tries to continue

"At his high school prom in 1989." Ava finishes. "He used a kitchen knife and he wore a creepy mask. I actually did a whole series on it. So none of you open my emails, clearly?"
