Episode summary: After saving Jacob from the closet, Amber gains the advantage of being able to use one of the powers of The Oldest House: the ability to rewrite small but meaningful parts of reality. Amber chooses Jacob to be her heart for this mission. The team decides to follow The Cat through The House, and it leads them to The Museum Room. In the museum, there are exhibits from the lives of each team member. Jacob finds a note from himself, urging his future self to make a different choice on his next pass through the house. The note is attached to the business card he gave Dolores weeks ago. Aislin successfully reveals her heart to Amber, and they gain bond with each other. Jacob finds a key in the form of post-it notes covered in frenzied warnings. The Doomsday Clock moves forward again. A triangle appears in the air, and a voice announces, "The threads of time cannot take much more. We are running out of chances. Proceed." Time begins to break down around the team as they flee the room. The Cat leads the team to The Surveillance Room. On one of the monitors, the team sees another version of Amber asleep in a room in the house. Agent Betterton stumbles out of the closet and the team interrogates him. Amber finds another key in the form of a corpse wrapped in a telephone cord. Amber shares some of her power with Betterton, and Aislin uses her powers to see his most recent memories. She learns that Dolores is in the house somewhere and that Jacob attacked the team before time reset. Aislin also creates an irrevocable truth about the USB drive they found: Aislin created it to collect memories from her time in The House, and those memories cannot be altered. Amber and Jacob gain bond with each other after a heart-to-heart talk. The episode ends with Betterton panicking and throwing a chair at Jacob.Susan Quintana as Keeper of the KeysJax as “Amber”Llama as “Aislin”Josh Harrison as “Jacob”Music and sound effects sourced from artists on Sound Stripe:"Barracuda" by Ghost Beatz"Submerged Metropolis" by Lost Ghosts"West" by Shimmer

Episode summary: The team wakes up outside of The Oldest House without their memories of how or why they are there. The Oldest Cat greets them at the porch, but before any information can be shared, Amber triggers the start of the Doomsday Clock, and the team is swallowed by the house. Inside the foyer, Amber finds a key (the USB drive that was lost in The Parasitic Library). Jacob talks to the cat and learns that this is not the first time the team has been there. Infiltrators have broken into the house and are up to something that needs to be stopped. The team has tried multiple times to figure out who and what and why, with no success yet. The house exists either outside of time or can control time. That is why the team resets to the beginning each time they fail, without knowledge of what happened. Jacob finds a key (a blood-splattered phone booth) but becomes trapped in a closet. Amber uses her powers to rescue him with assistance from Aislin.Susan Quintana as Keeper of the KeysJax as “Amber”Llama as “Aislin”Josh Harrison as “Jacob”Music and sound effects sourced from artists on Sound Stripe:"Barracuda" by Ghost Beatz"Submerged Metropolis" by Lost Ghosts
