FlashForward Episode 1.06 Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

In the aftermath of simultaneous attacks on the Mosaic investigation team, Janis is rushed to the hospital where Olivia manages to stabilize her. But complications arise involving her uterus. Olivia and Bryce pull her through but the chances of her being able to have children are all but gone. The news devastates Janis even though she claims she never even wanted to have a baby. But as we all know, she was pregnant in her flash forward.

Demetri recruits Al to search for the people who shot Janis. At the morgue, an incandescent light reveals a blue hand stamp on one of Janis's attackers. "Blue hand" is one of the clues from Mark's board and it was also related to the word Baltimore. There's a Baltimore Street in Los Angeles. They see a blue hand decal on a stop sign that points them to a seemingly unoccupied house. There are blood stains on the porch and throughout the downstairs. Blood-soaked sheets cover several bodies in the main room. One of the bodies has a blue hand.

In Al's flash forward, he was in London working on the Rutherford case with a Scotland Yard liaison. A bird crashed into the window and died. A crow, perhaps? Al was investigating the Rutherford case, which didn't yet exist. In the present, they find a passport on one of the deceased bodies. It's for a Scottish man named Ian Rutherford. Looks like Al's case begins right now.

Mark tells Olivia that the attacks on him and Janis must be connected because of the Mosaic investigation. Olivia wants them to stop being so obsessed with the future and start living in the now. Of course, living in the now involves taking Charlie out for Halloween. While trick or treating, Mark and Aaron do a double take as they see a kangaroo hoping through the neighborhood. We know what you're thinking. Cool costume, right? Wrong. This is an actual kangaroo! Didn't we see this particular marsupial bouncing around the pilot episode No More Good Days?

Mark sees three figures wearing masks similar to the ones worn by the assassins in his flash. He chases one of the figures down. It's just a teen who thought he was in trouble for pulling a prank. The kid says he got the mask at a discount store. Mark then gets a call from Nicole. There's a problem at home.

Lloyd Simcoe tells his son Dylan that they will be living in his house after he gets out of the hospital. Dylan seems more interested in playing card games. Then he stares ahead and says, "It's my house, too." After trick or treating in the hospital, Dylan wanders outside. He hops onto a bus and spouts out an address: 25696 Sawyer Court. When Dylan arrives at the house, we see Nicole handing out candy to kids. 25696 Sawyer Court is home to Mark and Olivia Benford.

Dylan steps inside saying, "It's my house, too." When Mark arrives, Dylan and Charlie high-five each other as if they are old friends. In Dylan's flash, Charlie let him know that it was okay to have a cookie because this is his house, too. Nicole had called Lloyd at the hospital, as Dylan was still wearing his ID wristband. When Lloyd sees the inside of the house, he realizes it's the one from his flash. And when Olivia comes home, Lloyd further realizes that she is the woman he had such strong feelings for. This all goes down in front of Mark. Awkward.

Mark basically tells Lloyd to get lost forever. He accuses Olivia of hiding things. Too bad he doesn't know that she got an anonymous text letting her know he's the one hiding things from her. Mark finally admits that he was loaded in his flash forward but steadfastly promises that he will not drink. That's not good enough for Olivia. It's not about the drinking. It's about trust. And they don't trust each other anymore.

The mysterious Simon (yep, that's Dominic Monaghan from Lost) takes a train to Los Angeles. Along the way, he tells a woman he's a quantum physicist genius. The lady must be into science geeks as they end up rolling around naked in Simon's sleeper car. Basking in the afterglow, Simon tells the woman that he choked the life out of a man in his flash forward. We're pretty sure this will put the kibosh on a second date. When Simon arrives in L.A., he surprises Lloyd, who isn't interested in talking to him. He says, "Our experiment killed 20 million people, Simon. What more is there to say?"
