Some information about this episode

Kirk LeMoyne “Lem” Billings

(from Wikipedia) Lem was a close and long-time friend of President John F. Kennedy and the Kennedy family. Billings was a prep school roommate of Kennedy, an usher at his wedding and a campaigner for his successful 1960 presidential bid. Joseph Kennedy Sr. called him “my second son,” and he sometimes acted as escort for several of the Kennedy women.

Billings and Kennedy took a summer trip through Europe in the summer of 1937. Between Munich and Nuremberg, they bought a dachshund they named Offie, after State Department official Carmel Offie who helped host them in Paris, but had to give him up because of Kennedy’s allergies.

Billings’ role as “first friend” was assessed by many observers at the time and since. Ted Sorensen called him “an admirer–almost a fawning admirer–of his friend.” Arthur Schlesinger thought Billings “used to glare at me when we occasionally encountered each other in the company of JFK, and for a time I took this rather personally. Soon I discovered that he glared with equal suspicion at anyone whose friendship with JFK postdated his own.” Another said: “Members of the president’s staff thought of him as a ‘handy old piece of furniture.'”

The Not-So-Dead Kennedy

Rufus and Wyatt, while saving John F. Kennedy from a Rittenhouse sleeper agent, takes him into the Lifeboat and bring him back to 2018. Kennedy escapes the secret bunker. Hilarity ensues, and Kennedy find out about his future, but goes back to face it.

Second Chances

With both Lucy and Jessica accompanying Wyatt on the search for Kennedy, we get a little jealousy from Lucy, a little realization by Jessica that Lucy does mean something to Wyatt, and a heart-to-heart between the two. In the end, Lucy let’s Jessica know what Wyatt went through to bring her back.

Family Ties

Carol Preston has Agent Christopher kidnapped (as she, too, searches for Kennedy). In an empty warehouse, Preston tries to convince Christopher to keep Lucy off future missions, to keep her safe since she knows Nicholas Keynes’ intentions. Agent Christopher will have none of it, but Carol makes it clear that she can threaten her family.
