Arms of Mine: Season 1, Episode 13

So Jennifer Goines is in charge of Markridge, Ramse is about to take part in some kind of event, Jones is still smoking all the cigarettes left in the world, and Cassie and Cole are falling in love because…

…of this guy. Aaron Marker betrayed them, and is now working for the bad guys. And Cole and Cassie want to know what's happening next which he tells them: the next big move for the Army? Going after the splinter machine.

Whitley tells Jones what she already suspects, that if they’re really done with the Splinter Project, it’s time to shut the whole thing down.

Meanwhile, outside, those spooky-faced people and Deacon are planning their attack on the compound.

When Aaron Marker escapes from the beating given to him by Cassie and Cole, he makes his way to a storeroom, where he uses fire to defend himself, but ends up trapped under a shelving unit as the flames engulf him.

Cassie and Cole attend the Markridge Annual meeting to hear what Jennifer Goines has to say. As expected, it is completely nut-job bonkers crazy. She’s going to resurrect the dodo. And possibly unicorns. So…

So Cassie slaps her. And that, actually, seems to work a little bit. Jennifer calms down a bit and tells them the truth: that the person they’re looking for is a guy named Ethan, who is actually...Ramse.

Ramse, meanwhile, is on his way to the Raritan Valley (where the Splinter Machine is). Olivia and Ramse have a plan, and its time has come.

In 2043, Deacon and those people covered in silver paint enlist the help of a guy who brings a truckload of angry birds. The birds jam up the core, and that’s about it for the Splinter Compound’s electricity supply. This just proves what we already know to be true: in the future, birds will be weapons.

Ramse arrives at the Raritan Valley lab, presumably to get some quality time with the splinter machine so he can destroy, and thereby save the existence of his son. But not so fast.

Cassie and Cole are on the job, finding their way through the Splinter Compound in 2015, and looking to disrupt Ramse’s plans by…splitting up. (Never a good move, just saying.)

What Cassie finds is a room full of red plants, which sends her back, of course, to her nightmare of walking in a red forest.

What Cole finds is Ramse, who turns out to be using the machine to send himself forward in time to SEE his son – he’s not interested in destroying it at all! Also, he reveals he's not the Witness which...wait what?

Back in 2043, the compound is overtaken and Jones is ready to sacrifice everything and everyone in order to protect the people of the facility.

But back in 2015, Cassie fires her gun at Ramse and hits him – just as she is hit by a bullet herself. What does Cole realize he has to do?

That’s right: Cole decides to inject Cassie with that stuff that holds your molecules together, and shoot her into the future so Jones can save her life.

Olivia goes to visit "The 12" and they are...babies? Are these the 12 monkeys (technically, really, they are primates)? It would seem they grow up to be...

These dudes! Who say they’re from the future! And they have such messed up skin! Why!? Why!?

And meanwhile, Cole makes a last-second decision that could change everything: to rescue Ramse from the clutches of Olivia’s “fate.”

As Deacon is ordered by the 12 Monkeys (Right? That’s them? The pale people?) to lead Jones off to be useful later on, the splinter machine fires up, and out comes…

Cassie! She’s arrived in 2043! Surprise, Dr. Railly! You’re in the future!

All of this while the end of season one leaves us with this: nutsy ol’ Jennifer Goines, on a private jet, skittering off with a bunch of packages and claiming she has work to do. Is she going to spread the virus?
