Some information about this episode

Hedy Lamarr

Hedy was recently inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014 because of how large of an impact she had on technology today. She and her inventing partner (George Antheil) worked on a frequency hopping protocol between 1940 and 1942, and it was patented in that year. It was difficult to put into use, so it wasn’t used at that time. However, by the time the Cuban Missile Crisis rolled around, costs were much lower and the Navy updated it to integrate into their systems in 1962, after the patent had expired.

Her American acting career started in 1938 and continued through the 1960s. Hedy made a few appearances on talk and game shows, but then faded from public view. Terrified of losing her looks, she had some disastrous surgeries that left her a virtual shut-in during her later years. Her lifeline became the telephone, although she ended up estranged from her son until her death in 2000.

Raising Kane

Lucas Calhoun, the teenage son of a Rittenhouse agent, is dropped off in Hollywood in the past. Dad shows up 15 years later. They steal “Citizen Kane” planning to give to William Randolph Hearst in exchange for newspaper space, no questions asked.

Jiya’s Got Heart

Jiya is still having visions. Previous pilots have come back with similar symptoms. One died of aneurysm, another schizophrenia. Conner says it can’t be cured. They bring in a doctor to look at her, and apparently nothing wrong with Jiya. EXCEPT, an existing heart murmur is now gone!

You Made Me Love You

TimeTeam is directed to Paramount pictures via a drawing from Flynn. Rufus poses as Langston Hughes and pitches a treatment to Barney Balaban. Lucy has to keep correcting Rufus’ Hollywood references. (Not Bogie and Bacall, Fairbanks and Pickford). Ultimately, he introduces his new singing duo, Logan and Preston! Lucy ends up singing “You Made Me Love You” at a party in order to keep their cover, and it reveals her feelings towards Wyatt.

This leads to the inevitable and long-awaited Wucy hookup. Subverted at the end of the episode by… the return of JESSICA!
