H.G. Wells hosts a dinner party in his Victorian England home in 1893. He shows his guests his time machine to which they don't believe is functional and then police arrive looking for John Stevenson, having learned John is the infamous Jack the Ripper. John escapes in Wells' time machine but the machine returns because John didn't have the key. Wells follows him to March 3, 2017. His machine is now in a museum in New York and his appearance is brushed off as a prank. He meets Jane Walker, a woman who works at the museum and ends up spending the night in her apartment after sustaining injuries from a taxi trying to pursue Stevenson. Wells takes Jane three days into the future to prove the existence of time travel to her and while in the future, they discover Jane is John's third victim. They race back to the present to stop him from killing his second victim. They are successful but Jane is soon abducted by John who wants Wells to give him the key in exchange for her life.
2"I Will Catch You"Marcos SiegaKevin WilliamsonMarch 5, 2017 (2017-03-05)T13.203522.54[8]
Wells meets Vanessa Anders, the runner of the museum who reveals that she is his great great granddaughter having known about the time machine because he will visit her when she was in college. Vanessa gives Wells a letter from his future self to prove what she's saying; he is worried that the reason so little is written on the letter is because something bad is going to happen. Stevenson calls and demands the key be given to him the following afternoon in Central Park. John keeps Jane by threatening to kill a separate hostage. At Central Park, Wells gives John the key but Vanessa's men ambush John afterward, who escapes before he tells Wells Jane's location. John takes Jane to the museum where Wells awaits him and gives him the key. John attempts to go to another time but Wells is able to stop him and then John escapes, afterwards calling and threatening to kill someone everyday until Wells gives him the key. John is later at a bar, taking his next victim while a mysterious unknown man takes pictures of him and then returns to an apartment where an entire wall contains information on Wells and John.

Stevenson continues his threats against Wells and Jane, demanding the key. Wells attempts to fix the time machine while Vanessa is meeting a reporter for an interview for her boyfriend Griffin's campaign as senator. John meets a neurologist named Brooke, whom he sleeps with before she knocks him out; when he comes to, he is strapped to a table and Brooke reveals that she is aware that he is Jack the Ripper from 1893. The mysterious man from the previous episode visits his sick mother, telling her that John and Wells are in 2017 and she tells him to stop them from whatever experience she had with them. Wells and Jane kiss when they finally get the time machine fixed and when Vanessa tells Griffin about H.G., Griffin is later seen calling someone unknown having had prior knowledge of the time machine.
