Throughout the team's adventures, Lucy personally encounters Flynn, who reveals that he possesses a journal she will write in the future. Following the Hindenburg mission, Lucy is left reeling over her mother no longer dying of cancer, her sister never being born, and being engaged to a man who is a complete stranger. In addition, she finds out that her mother lied about who her biological father is. After several arguments, Carol reveals her biological father is Benjamin Cahill, whom Lucy discovers is part of Rittenhouse.

When the team travels back to 1954, Lucy gets the help of her grandfather to help bring Rittenhouse down. The plan works, and they get enough evidence to arrest Rittenhouse members.

Lucy starts a romantic relationship with Wyatt, but when he discovers his wife, Jessica, is alive again, Lucy backs off.

While in 1962 Las Vegas, he takes a cue from Back to the Future Part II and has Western Union write a telegram for Jessica in 2012, but it doesn't work. After returning from 1893 Chicago, Flynn calls Wyatt, tells him who killed his wife, and suggests what he should do to reverse it.

Though Wyatt becomes suspicious of Jessica, he refuses to let Agent Christopher move her out after he discovers Jessica is pregnant. When Jessica later reveals herself to be a Rittenhouse member, Wyatt admits his suspicions to the team. After returning from 1888 Chinatown, Wyatt admits to Lucy that he loves her just as a second Lifeboat shows up with Wyatt and Lucy from the future.

Rufus Carlin

Rufus Carlin (Malcolm Barrett) is a programmer at Mason Industries assigned as the pilot of the prototype time machine "Lifeboat." He is initially uncomfortable with the idea of traveling with the team due to the unkind history of African-Americans over the centuries. During their adventures, Rufus sometimes uses names of famous black celebrities as his alias. He often asks historical figures why they do what they do. Rufus also has a complicated relationship with his co-worker Jiya, as they are both sci-fi fans. Though he bonds well with his teammates, he is revealed to be recording their activities under Mason's orders. When Rufus threatens to quit, he is threatened by an agent of Rittenhouse to stay with the team in order to assure the safety of his family. Rufus later records a threatening message and hands it to Mason to give to Rittenhouse. Mason responds by giving Rufus only six months in the company before eventually replacing him with Jiya, reminding him that he is expendable. During the team's 1931 Chicago mission, Rufus is shot by Al Capone, and he loses consciousness as he prepares the Lifeboat to jump back to the present. He recovers from his wound and has Jiya assist him in the team's 1954 mission. ^{[6] [2]}

In season two, Rufus becomes more concerned about Jiya's condition, as she sees premonitions of him in danger. He does not take this well, and asks Jiya to not tell him about her visions. Jiya later admits that she had another vision of Rufus dying, which Rufus has a hard time dealing with, acting recklessly, then distant from Jiya. When the team heads to 1888 Chinatown to rescue Jiya, she tells Rufus that her vision shows him dying trying to get her home and refuses to return to protect him. Despite Jiya saving Rufus from the death her vision saw, he still ends up getting shot dead by Emma Whitmore.

In "The Miracle of Christmas," the future Wyatt and Lucy reveal that saving Rufus is the key to defeating Rittenhouse and the answer lies in the future Lucy's journal. Wyatt eventually realizes that Jessica's presence in the timeline is what led to Rufus' death and she has to be removed to undo all that she caused. Flynn travels back 2012, sacrificing himself to kill Jessica on the night that she originally died. Rufus is restored to life and rescues his friends in 1848 but is left with the memories of a whole different time line since their mission in Hollywood.

Flynn also possesses a journal written by Lucy sometime in the future, which he uses as a road map to his time travels. Despite his ruthlessness, Flynn shows guilt, telling Lucy that the atrocities he's committed make him unable to stay with his family, even if they do come back. Despite killing David Rittenhouse in 1780, Flynn discovers that history does not change at all. As he attempts to kill several Rittenhouse members in 1954, Lucy stops him and convinces him of another way to take down the organization.

In "The Miracle of Christmas", Lucy discovers from the journal that she and Flynn end up together, but he tells her that it does not last as she loves Wyatt more. After Wyatt realizes that removing Jessica from the timeline will save Rufus, Flynn slips off and takes the Lifeboat to 2012. He murders Jessica on the night that she originally died, saving Rufus. Suffering from the side effects of traveling back to his own timeline, Flynn returns the Lifeboat to the team, and stays back, seeing his family one last time before dying in 2012.

While they have mutual understandings with each other about the project, Mason questions Rittenhouse's decisions such as recruiting Lucy when there are hundreds of history professors in the country with actual tenure. Agent Christopher discovers that Mason went bankrupt and he was suddenly given $2.5 billion to fund the time machine project. Connor has Rufus secretly record the missions for Rittenhouse, but Rufus eventually gets fed up and refuses to spy on his friends. Rittenhouse then orders Mason to train Jiya to become the Lifeboat pilot, replacing Rufus in six months. Though Mason goes along with Rittenhouse after they take over the Lifeboat missions, he later reveals to Agent Christopher that he was actually playing along, and has now got access to NSA servers to help her convict the Rittenhouse members. He admits that after Rittenhouse wanted to replace Rufus, he felt guilty, and wanted to save him by helping Agent Christopher. His software helps Christopher expose and arrest the Rittenhouse agents. ^[9]

While the Lifeboat team is relocated to a secret bunker by Agent Christopher, Mason faces bankruptcy and goes on a drinking binge, but he restores his faith in himself after saving blues musician Robert Johnson from Rittenhouse in 1936.

She secretly assembles the Lifeboat team in a warehouse in Oakland to plan their next course of action.

Shortly after the team steals the Lifeboat, Jiya is detained by Neville. She is released with the help of Agent Christopher, and helps a wounded Rufus pilot the Lifeboat to the team's 1954 mission. However, because the Lifeboat was not designed to carry more than three passengers, Jiya loses consciousness and experiences seizures before being brought back into the present timeline.

After Wyatt steals the Lifeboat for his personal mission in 1983, Cahill takes charge of the team's missions.

Jessica later reveals herself to be a Rittenhouse member, kidnapping Jiya and stealing the Lifeboat.
