"Take this."
"What is it?"
"We call is a junk drive, a USB. I transferred the recording of what happens in '33 on it. Once it goes through time with you, it won't change. You should end up in or around Peter's ranch. I included in that details of what we've been talking about here, so Lucas from 2011 will be up to speed and able to help you."
Thomas takes the USB. "Once I find where that rat is hiding his goods, I'm telling Anet not to go through time again."
Lucas laughs, "Good Luck with that!"
"Ross said she'll listen to me."
"She'll listen. But she'll still go. We don't know if what you'll do or say in 2011 will change what she does in 1933, or be what caused it all to happen."
"I guess we'll find out."
The portal lights up. The lights smoother. Clearer.
"Good luck, Thomas." Lucas says.
"Make sure that watch is activated before you go through." Olivier taps the keyboard. Setting the date to open to. They'd agreed to send him back a few months following Anet's brief visit with Lucas; to 2011. Thomas has stated his preference to be there when Anet was, but Lucas agreed that Thomas needed to focus on Jay first and foremost.
"So long." Thomas flashes a questionable grin. Steps through the portal.
Olivier's eyes shoot to the table. Swears. "He took the new Anchor!!"
Lucas laughs. "Of course he did."
"You knew he would!?"
"No, but I wouldn't've put it past him."
"I'm bringing him back!" Thomas had activated Anet's anchor he'd been wearing. It now is honing in on his time location in 2011. Much quicker than it used to.

"He-he deactivated!!" Will releases a stream of curse words.
"Guess we just sit back and wait."

2011
Tommy slammed into the wall of a narrow hall.
Swore.
Shaking off the sensation, his hand shot to the watch. "Sorry, pals. You'll just have to trust me."
Deactivated.
"Thomas H. Graft. What the hell are you doing here??"
"Swell seeing you too, Lucas. You're lookin' good."

Elsewhere months prior to Tommy's visit...
The door to Jay's office opens.
Jay looked up, hair a mess, face in need of a shave. "Anet! You came back!" he practically ran to her. Taking her hands in his, "Anet I am so sorry I didn't tell you-I should have- I don't know why-,"
"I'm not mad at you, Jay. I know why you didn't. It was a shock, yes. I just... that's not how I wanted to find out, but it is what it is. I'll face my mom about it sooner or later. I just wanted to come here and tell you, that I'm sorry I lost your car."
"I don't care about that car, Anet." he pulled her into his arms. "I only care about you."
She looked up into his eyes. "I know." her head rested against his chest. "You don't have to worry anymore. I'm not going anywhere again."
