Our heroes take on Nazi Germany – with James Bond creator Ian Fleming
Whats scarier than a Nazi?
A Nazi with an atomic bomb.
It makes you wonder why Flynn even bothered with the Hindenburg or Abraham Lincolns assassination.

Nazis + nuclear weapons = the evilest of evil plans.
So, our time-traveling trio is headed overseas and, of course, back in time to 1940s Germany.
None of them speak German, Lucy argues.
Well, apparently Wyatt does, along with three other languages.
But they dont have any lederhosen, Lucy adds.
Oh, but they do!
I bet Halloween parties at Mason Industries are so much fun.
(Side note: Wyatt always helps Lucy with her time-machine seatbelt, and its adorable.)
Wyatt shoots the Nazi officer and then blasts another guard stationed in the woods near the Lifeboat.
Rufus and Lucy are horrified remember the whole not meddling in history thing theyre supposed to stick to?
Hes got a point.
James Bond creator and real-life World War II spy Ian Fleming is here, sneaking around behind enemy lines.
(Fun fact: Ian Fleming also wrote the childrens bookChitty Chitty Bang Bang.)
It also makes me curious about which historical figure Rufus would fanboy over.
Killing him would in 1944 would be devastating to American history.
(Witnessing the Hindenburg explosion and Abraham Lincolns assassination can do that to a person.)
NEXT: 3, 2, 1…Liftoff!
The high-stakes danger of Nazi Germany isnt making things any easier for Lucy.
Its no wonder that zipping through time and space and chasing an international terrorist has made her feel helpless.
You wanna figure out how to keep doing this?
You figure out what youre fighting for, and youll be okay.
And he literally shot ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
One day youll understand, Im a patriot, he tells Lucy.
Love your movies, he adds, as the Nazis carry Fleming and Lucy away to presumably be shot/tortured/etc.
Luckily, its Rufus and Wyatt to the rescue, as Rufus wires the V-2 rocket to explode.
They call them priest holes, Wyatt explains.
So, everything is sort of okay in the end!
Fleming hands von Braun over to the Allies.
His flirty remarks may not work on Lucy, but Wyatt almost melts into the floor.
Mason even goes as far as to call the 1964 film Connerys best.
How much you wanna bet Bond sleeps with Lucy in that one?
As for the nuke?
It turns out Anthony and Flynn dont want to use it as a weapon.
So whoever (or whatever) Rittenhouse may be, theyre not letting go of Rufus any time soon.
But other than that downer, this might be the most fun episode weve seen yet.
Heres hoping the rest of the season can maintain that thrilling, playful tone.
