Episode Notes

Notes go hereSummary: When Alexandria Arrow’s watch points to a blank spot in the timeline—a place with no recorded history or energy signatures—she and her team are drawn into a void that shouldn’t exist. As they navigate this unstable nexus point, they encounter a mysterious figure who reveals that the void is a mistake in time itself, a convergence of timelines that has become sentient and dangerous. Trapped in this strange place, the team must race to reset the core of the nexus before it pulls them—and others—into its endless nothingness. But with the watch and their own fates on the line, Alex faces the ultimate test of leadership and sacrifice. Key Moments:
