   Summary

   The road less traveled (idiom/phrase) - a choice made in one's life that is unconventional; a choice that leads one in a different direction than most people. More metaphorically, it speaks about the choices we have never experienced.

   This story is a reimagining of Timeless season 2.
   

   Garcia Flynn has been locked up in prison for six weeks. With Rittenhouse set on killing him, an unexpected visitor sets forth a new path that Lucy hadn't written about in her journal.
