Episode 7, "Marooned"

A rare episode that doesn't include Savage, the team instead finds themselves facing time pirates in an episode reminiscent of the sci-fi show Firefly.

This episode is also the beginning of the adorkable star-crossed romance of Kendra (played by Ciara Renee) and Ray (Routh).

Episode 12, "Last Refuge"

After jumping through space and time for four episodes, with little regard for how their adventures may be changing history and constantly on the run from Rip's old Time Master bosses, the team is now being hunted by the Time Master's best assassin: The Pilgrim. Because The Pilgrim is targeting the team's younger selves, this episode includes multiple versions of most of the cast, and forces Rip to outsmart and outlast the organization he once worked for.

Episode 14, "River of Time"

What's the worst thing to do once you've finally tracked down and taken in your worst enemy? Leaving him in a cell on your ship where he can talk to every emotional and volatile member of your team. But putting Savage on his ship is only the start of Rip's mistakes in this episode.

Episode 14, "Legendary"

The season finale, "Legendary," continues after a showdown with the Time Masters and one of the team members sacrificing themselves. Now the remaining members must track down Savage, save Kendra and Carter (Falk Hentschel), and stop Savage from destroying the world.
