First, we’ve got Rufus, Flynn, and Lucy in 1693 dealing with the Salem Witch Trials – and wildly changing history without a care. In this episode, all of the main characters are pushed into making huge, bold decisions that actually have repercussions for the show going forward. It feels like there are interesting situations and problems for our characters to face and it feels like there are real consequences awaiting them in the wake of those situations. The Salem Witch Hunt feels like the first episode this season where something actually happens.

When Lucy is accused of being a witch, the team rallies together to save Abiah, Lucy, and all the other accused women. There they must prevent the execution of a headstrong young woman – Abiah (guest star Sofia Vassilieva), who, it turns out, is the mother of one of the most consequential Americans of all time – the yet to be born Benjamin Franklin. While Wyatt (Matt Lanter) sneaks away from the bunker to face an unbelievable truth, Lucy (Abigail Spencer), Rufus (Malcolm Barrett) and their former enemy-turned- teammate, Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic), chase the Mothership to the Salem Witch Trials. It only took four episodes, but season 2 of Timeless finally delivers an episode that lives up to the promise of its premise. Written by Kent Rotherham and directed by Guy Ferland, The Salem Witch Hunt follows the Time Team as they travel back to Salem Massachusetts, 1693. “While we wish we could’ve made another dozen seasons of Timeless, this is the next best thing,” said creators/executive producers Ryan and Kripke at the time.TIMELESS - “The Salem Witch Hunt” Episode 204 - Pictured: (l-r) Michael Barrett as Rufus Carlin, Abigail Spencer as Lucy Preston, Goran Visnjic as Garcia Flynn - (Photo by Patrick Wymore/NBC) Timeless made headlines in July when NBC, which had canceled the Sony Pictures TV-produced time-travel series, ordered the two-part finale after considerable social media outcry from fans, aka Clockblockers.
