Timeless “Chinatown” was written by the team of Tom Smuts and Nancy Baird and was directed by Greg Beeman. I’ll admit that I was surprised that neither Shawn Ryan nor Eric Kripke wrote this episode. The Lifeboat makes a few jumps in this episode, but eventually ends up in Chinatown, San Francisco on August 26, 1888. There are no historical figures in the episode, which just focuses on the core characters. There’s a really nice thread of family that runs throughout the episode.
Three people may die. Get ready for a big surprise and a heck of a cliffhanger at the end of this episode. There’s still no word on renewal for the show, but this isn’t the kind of cliffhanger that you couldn’t live with if you had to. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t want to have to write the fanfiction to finish the story, but it could be a worse cliffhanger.
Just a few dialogue teases…

Why wasn’t I consulted?
It’s true. You did mess things up with us.

This is my fault.
This is how I manage my anxiety.
I’m part of something important.
There’s still so much you don’t know.
Let’s find somewhere quiet to talk.
She’s lost in time.
