When last we left our time traveler and surgeon, they’d barely met. But there were a lot of 11 o’clocks, sketchy business practices, and sketchy decisions.
We’re two out of two for episodes starting with murder
This time it appears to be our guy Tonkla, smoking and beating someone to death with a rock.
Tyme is called on to help the accident victim. She’s having trouble sleeping and tells him the sad story we suspected: her son died by suicide last month, after losing everything. In online gambling maybe?
Tyme tells her to take some pills and he’ll call a psychiatrist in the morning. On his way out he catches sight of the flowers from Great. The previous day he asked about them and it was assumed Great is related to the patient. Now Tyme knows he can’t be her son.
Tyme also overhears the nurses gossiping about him breaking up with another doctor who then quit.
Great needs better friends
Title, who needed a calculator last episode, is The Worst. Another classmate, Dome, records him berating his girlfriend, View, and dragging her into his car. The next day she’s not in class.
Dome tells her friends she was with Title, but Title denies it and threatens Dome.
It’s 11 o’clock, according to the clock and a projection. He lies in bed while his memories of his time travels, and sex with Tyme, plays like a movie on the wall.
Great sees the clip of Title dragging View off in a text thread. He calls Title to find out what’s going on, but Title wants help with something fun. The wall still shows 11 o’clock.
Title picks Great up, and tells him that he’s locked View up until she takes him back. Great calls him a dickhead. Does Great think he’s joking? I hope so.
Title drives them out to a field and reveals Dome, unconscious in his trunk. He wants Great’s help drowning the guy. Not sure why he needs help but Great gets that its not a joke. He wants to take Dome to the hospital. When Title refuses to not-drown Dome, Great walks away. Then Title smashes Dome in the head with the rock.
Great’s heart starts pounding and he goes back 4 minutes. This time he gets into a fight with Title. He knocks Title out with the rock and drives off with Dome in the trunk. At least Great’s second instincts are good.
Tyme is only nice to janitors
He tells one mopping the hallway to bring his mother in for a checkup. Then Tyme sees Great waiting for the treatment of a head wound. He steps away to fix his hair and check his biceps while the show gives us comedy music. Really? Two people have been murdered by rocks in this episode.
Tyme gets close to check Great’s head wound. Great’s heart is beating but he’s not going back in time, he’s thinking about those sex “memories”.
Cold-except-to-janitors Tyme handles Great’s stitches. We get what might be comedy cello music as Tyme reveals he memorizes Great’s name from the flowers.
Tyme fails at critical thinking again when Great asks about patients seeing into the future. Tyme suggests they belong in the psych ward. Great doesn’t feel like sharing anything more than thanks after that.
The next morning there’s a body found in the same field Title took Great to murder Dome. There, Inspector Win finds a bloody rock. Whose blood though?
Tonkla runs through the morgue to identify the murder victim, his brother. Who he killed?
Tyme and Great have a strange date
Title finds Great inside the car dispenser, denying he tried to kill Dome and then trying to kill Great.
There’s a clock ticking sound that slows down as Title strangles Great. Then Tyme appears, putting his biceps to good use by yanking Title away and punching him. He tells Title to go instead of holding onto him and calling the police.
After that, Great and Tyme hang out at a nearby skatepark. Tyme claims he’s seeing a friend nearby but sounds like he’s lying. Great won’t tell him who Title is and says he’s okay. Tyme is worried Title might still be around. Maybe you shouldn’t have let him go?
We get more silly jazzy music as Tyme tries to get Great’s contact info. Great takes pity on him.
Oh good, the cat is back! It purrs in front of the clock as the time turns to 11:01.
Meanwhile, Tonkla and Korn go through some rough times
At the online gambling place, all the computers crash. It’s Korn’s fault for ignoring Sa-Marn’s advice, leaving them vulnerable to a hacker.
Korn doesn’t want his father told. Instead, he gets assistance from a creepy uncle who locates the shareholder behind everything. Korn has Tyme-like reasoning skills and fails to understand the uncle had the man assassinated.
After that, he has some very transactional seeming sex with Fah, the uncle’s daughter.
Meanwhile, Tonkla has been sobbing over his brother and trying to reach Korn. He gets excited when the doorbell rings, but it’s Inspector Win. Win is there to check on him and promise he’ll get justice. Tonkla points out murderers just get 10 years, so there’s no real justice. But thanks anyway.
Maybe Tyme was meeting a friend, we see the frizzy-haired girl from the online gambling operation hand him a USB.
More mysteries than answers, but we’re early in the series
Since the woman in the hospital’s son’s death is tied to money, it feels likely he’s related to the online gambling. Will he also be related to the frizzy-haired girl? Possibly her boyfriend/husband? Or is she Tyme’s ex-girlfriend? She quit her doctor job and is trying to take down a criminal enterprise? That seems unlikely but we also don’t know why Tyme is involved.
Is Tonkla murdering his brother in the opening? Sobbing at the morgue could be an act, but sobbing at home wouldn’t be. Why is the show carefully now showing his face? Would we recognize him as someone we’ve already seen?
Title took Great to murder Dome in the same field where the body was found. Where was Tonkla’s brother’s body then?
Does Tyme have a real reason for letting Title go? Or is that just for the plot, so he can pop up again later?
So far there’s not much to the romance besides strange comedy jazz and biceps. This is why I feel like the show is mainly a timey-wimey thriller, not a BL. Sure, I want to see our guys get together. But I’m more curious about these puzzle pieces the show is throwing out and how they’ll fit together.
