When she finds a buyer, Ally travels home to finalize the deal, where she meets Bennett, the shop manager. He’s against selling and urges Ally to prioritize the connection the store’s cards bring over profits. While they argue, a storm hits, and a lightning strike sends Ally and Bennett back to 1945, where they meet a young Joy.
