[ CHOICE CONFIRMED — SPARK (Grace) ]

close up of grace, eyes wide.

[Grace looks at the three students in front of her. Steph was telling her about their friends’ theories from earlier this morning, that glitched people are from alternate universes where things are different. If that’s true, then in whatever universe her peers have moved to, Reese is popular and Kyle and Brenda are not.]

animated gif of reese. the yellow glow in her eyes fades and her smile drops as her eyes return to their normal green color. reese runs away as grace watches.

REESE: Oh, gosh! Yes Grace! Whatever you say, Grace! Please don’t kick me off the squad I’m so sorry…

GRACE: Woah…

MAX: C'mon Grace, we gotta go.

What happens?

PETE: Use the pocket watch
PETE: Don't use the pocket watch
