Answer Key: Episode 12
“The research gas canisters were being replenished that morning and one of them exploded, causing a chain reaction that blew out all the offices. It was a major disaster. You can’t be there.”
Hal stood up in a panic. “I think my experiment will put me back to the minute I left, but I’m not sure.”
“Well, I’m still here…I think you’ll be alright. Good luck.” He stood and they shook hands, the strangest experience Hal had ever had.
He got back to the future office and returned to his own time without meeting anyone. As soon as he was back, he grabbed the external hard drive with his research, dropped out of his window onto the lawn and kept his head down as he walked away from the building. He was at the bus stop when he heard the explosion.
