To the 1980s: From Scorned to Cherished Full Episode
001
Jessie Zacker opens with a triumphant speech about building an aesthetic empire but suddenly collapses and wakes in the 1980s. A stranger shouts, "You touched me? Then you'll have to marry me," creating an immediate, awkward demand. At home Amelia bakes buns while neighbors gossip about Jessie’s coldness and a child’s snacks linked to a past fatal incident are recalled. Jessie, who remembers her hard-won financial success and had bragged she could start over, now feels trapped and worries Harkins is stuck with an "awful wife." Someone bangs: "Jessie, open the door!" she must decide whether to face them.
002
Neighbors storm Jessie for snatching a little boy’s snacks and making a public scene, then march to Harkins because their husbands work at the same institute. Jessie privately admits she has bullied kids, freeloaded, and lives in a mess, resolving to accept a fresh start in this era. The women demand an explanation, say Harkins's wife yelled at their door for thirty minutes, and threaten to report him to his superior. Harkins apologizes publicly on her behalf, but the episode ends with him declaring, "I have to divorce her," turning the spat into an immediate marital crisis.
003
Jessie finally opens the door, disheveled with a bloody nose, to a man who bursts in accusing her of returning dressed oddly and possibly cheating. Neighbors mutter she's lazy and greedy while another person scolds her for tracking dirt through a cleaned house. A companion reminds the group that Jessie could be a billionaire in the 21st century and can do the same in the 1980s. Jessie admits flaws but declares, "I will never be disloyal," then challenges him to search her belongings. The episode ends with him poised to inspect, outcome unknown.
004
One spouse returns home and announces, 'I came back to divorce you,' triggering a blunt confrontation. The other, folding laundry, reproaches them for never doing chores; they trade sarcasm and accusations that the divorce talk is a trick. Household voices question the sincerity while practical terms are negotiated: the divorce is postponed until the 15th if the other gets a job and moves out, and help finding work is promised. Accusations about freeloading and taking the children's snacks flare up. As the conditional pact forms, someone suddenly shouts 'No!' leaving the outcome unresolved.
005
Facing a pending divorce and her husband's meager $32.60, a woman decides she must earn money and break into the beauty trade. She surveys salons, spots a pricey, popular barber and plots to open a beauty school and chain. At her small shop a client storms in after a ruined hairstyle—her son's wedding is next week—and refuses cash, threatening to shut the shop unless the hair is restored. Seeing a wealthy client as an opportunity, the woman takes responsibility and says, "I can fix this," leaving the shop's future and the wedding's outcome unresolved.
006
In a seaside wig shop a young barber faces a high-stakes customer: the groom's mother, whose son's wedding is next week. The barber promises a better cut and a custom, undetectable permed wig, even offering to use the woman's own hair. The mother initially mocks wigs and fears their source, but accepts when reassured. She orders, "Just do my hair right now," then threatens to smash the shop and have the barber's legs broken if the result is bad. The barber agrees and begins work under threat, leaving whether she can finish successfully and save the shop unresolved.
007
At a barber, a young woman astonishes customers by transforming a client's face with a recipe, earning praise and an offer to mass-produce it. She accepts a wig commission for $150 ($50 hair, $100 labor), demands a $50 deposit, and promises to send the recipe on Sunday before going to the mall for groceries. She still lacks a head model and will ask a carpenter. Neighbors gather, warning Jessie may react and threatening to report any interference to Harkins's superior. The episode ends when someone spots Eric's wife picking on 'your wife,' signaling an imminent confrontation.
008
A supervisor warns Harkins that he and Eric are competing for vice director and to keep Jessie in line because if she drags him down Eric will win. Jessie shows up at a neighbor meeting to apologize, gives snacks to David and apples to Leon, and Mrs. Lauren praises her gentle side. She offers to treat them to a meal as an official apology, but neighbors refuse, saying they're family. Jessie promises to move out after she finds a job. Suspicion persists—one neighbor says she's hiding her feelings and another scoffs, This is a joke! The vice-director race remains unresolved.
009
At a neighborhood gathering a man brings piles of boxes to compensate others after his wife took items; Jessie and neighbors accept the gifts and praise Harkins' devotion. Amelia is accused of inciting the community to pick on Harkins, which explains why he moved into the dorms and why the speaker became a public enemy. When someone objects that the goods are a bribe, the speaker insists he only wants to make amends and reveals the uproar was provoked by others, not by his refusal to sleep with her. "Does she really want a divorce?"
010
On a crowded bus Amelia is publicly attacked by Jessie and neighbors who call her a "country bumpkin", accuse her of stirring trouble to help her husband's campaign (he's competing with Harkins), and threaten to report her. Bystanders step in, warning they'd tell her husband's superiors, and the mob breaks off. Later at a shared meal Amelia surprises others with good cooking and thanks Harkins for his help. The mood shifts when her husband confronts their marriage: "I know you want a divorce. If you don't trust me, let's go to the City Hall tomorrow." The decision remains unresolved.
