At a stop light, Remmy is sitting in his cadillac, he turns on the radio, and the announcer is stating about the pregame show for the Giants game, and a roster move they made with a player called Shortstop Vic Smith, who was having problems with games and 3 errors the night before, and so he was sent to the Pacific Coast Leagues to get his confidence back. Remmy feels that Vic Smith is not important and the people want to know who was singing the anthem. The light turns green, and Remmy takes off, going past a gas station. Down in the Mallory basement, a few minutes later, 3 people enter the vortex, which then heads through the wall, heading outside, and it leads straight into the path of Remmy's car, he quickly steps on the brake, he is shocked to see something so odd, the portal then closes.

A woman at the house nearby, exits her home, she runs up to Remmy's car, asking what that was, and if he was ok. Remmy laughs, then faints, falling over into the passenger seat. Mrs. Randall stops the car from moving forward, then returns to her house, to call for help. Shortly after Remmy is awakened by the police, he gets up from the seat of his car, still shocked of what happened. A police officer asked what happened, and Remmy states that he saw a blue whirlpool in front of him, he stepped on his breaks, and then it vanished. Remmy looks to his watch, and shocked of how much time has passed. He had the gig to sing the national anthem at a Giants game, he asks if he could leave, and the officer he talked to, said he would have to stay, since FBI agents needed to talk to him.

That night, Remmy is taken to the FBI headquarters, Agent Allison Kendall asks him questions, she soon recieved a report, which shocked her. Remmy didn't understand; Agent Kendall told Remmy that he was allowed to go, but would need to leave his name and phone number with her secretary. That night, Arty called Remmy, he yelled at him for not showing, and Remmy told him the story, but Arty didn't believe him. Arty then told him to meet him the next morning for a meeting, and possibly for another gig.

The following morning, Remmy arrived at Arty's office in the studio, he sat, listening to facts that if he he screwed up again, he would be out of an agent, and Remmy told him, that hopefully, it wouldn't happen again. As Remmy is leaving the office, he ran into Alisha, who was getting some water. Alisha stops Remmy to chat about not showing up the night previous, and Remmy told her the story, which she found odd, then she offered to cook dinner for him that night at her place, and Remmy agreed.

Over in Los Angeles, at the Bay Area Apartments, Allison Kendall is exiting her apartment, when a young attractive man, passes her, stopping at the door, a few feet from her door. The man looks to Allison, and she asks him if he was the new neighbor moving in, and the man stated he was. The man introduces himself as Nick Driskill, then Allison introduces herself to him. She then takes off, putting on her coat, and heading to the elevator; Nick stares at her as she waits for the doors to open, then he enters his apartment.

That night, after dinner, Remmy is helping Alisha with the dishes, which she finds kindly of him.

Alisha stops drying a cup, and kisses Remmy, thanking him for being in her life, and if it wasn't for his music career, they wouldn't of met. Remmy starts chatting about the fact that they've been dating for almost a year, and would like it if they moved in together. Alisha is surprised, so she tells Remmy that she would give it some thought, and get back to him on that, since it would be a big step for the both of them. A little while later, Remmy decides to head back home, since he had to wait for a call from Arty about a gig, so Alisha kissed him good night, and Remmy left, hoping Alisha would really plan on moving in with him.

He asks if she wouldn't mind some company, since he was new to the building, and would like to know her, so Allison let him in, offering him a beer, which he took. The 2 sat on the couch, watching television, Allison spoke up to ask what he did for a living, and Nick told her that he was an accountant and paper deliverer on the weekends. Allison found it interesting, then she told him she was with the FBI, which shocked Nick, and he asked if she was going to arrest him for anything, and Allison told him, unless he did a criminal act.

Nick doesn't get what she is saying, so he just nods, but Allison states what happened, 3 people disappeared and possibly landed on a parallel world. As soon as this situation came up, she was told not to head to Washington, since they need her for this assignment, since someone that nearly was taken with the 3 wasn't, and they needed her for the investigate this person, so she stayed.
