La Brea - Season 3 -

The survivors of the sinkhole discover that the 10,000-year gap isn't just a place — it's a battleground for the future of humanity. To get home, they must unite with an unlikely ally and make the ultimate sacrifice. Episode 301: “What the Rift Took”

Battle erupts at the cavern. Lucas sacrifices himself to destroy Maya’s command center, trapping her in a collapsing side rift (her fate left ambiguous). Ty and Veronica lead the survivors in a desperate last stand.

10,000 years later, in the cavern, an archaeologist discovers the heart. She touches it — and hears Eve’s voice: “Tell them we made it home.”

Meanwhile, Josh reopens the rift in 2021, but Maya Singh double-crosses him, sending armed troops through first. A firefight erupts in 10,000 BC between Maya’s soldiers, Zane’s Keepers, and the survivors.

Eve, now haunted by her own visions, realizes she’s the biological echo of this Ancestor (explaining her survival and connection to Gavin). To repair the anchor, she must physically merge with the heart — an act that will erase her from existence in all timelines.

Inside, they find frozen soldiers and a journal belonging to a scientist named Dr. Helena Frost. Her final entry: “The rifts aren’t accidents. They’re a weapon. And they’re waking up.” The survivors of the sinkhole discover that the

Gavin, Josh, Sam, Ty, Veronica, and the remaining survivors use the repaired anchor to open a final rift — not to 2021, but to a new timeline where the sinkhole never happened. They step through, arriving in a sunny, peaceful Los Angeles. No disaster. No scars. They reunite with their loved ones who never knew they were gone.

Gavin refuses. But Eve whispers: “I already died in one timeline to save you. Let me save everyone now.”

We open moments after Season 2’s finale. Eve (Natalie Zea) watches in horror as the portal to 2021 closes, leaving her son Josh (Jack Martin) stranded on the other side. Meanwhile, Gavin (Eoin Macken) clutches his head — a new, violent vision floods his mind: not of the past, but of a future Los Angeles consumed by a second, deadlier sinkhole event. Lucas sacrifices himself to destroy Maya’s command center,

They’re attacked by a new tribe: , humans who worship the rift technology and believe closing it will unmake existence. Their leader, Zane (played by Alex Meraz), captures Sam and Veronica. Zane reveals he is also “rift-touched” — a descendant of the Ancestors — and that Eve’s return was a trap. “The rifts chose your family, Gavin,” Zane sneers via a psychic link. “But you’ve been closing doors that should stay open.”

Josh must reopen the rift — but doing so will cost him years of his life.

Josh finally arrives through a collapsing rift, aged ten years (now played by a new actor, mid-30s). He looks at Gavin and Eve: “Dad… I saw how this ends. Only one of you can go home. The rest have to stay in the past — or time breaks.”

In 10,000 BC, the survivors explore the bunker and activate a holographic map. It shows multiple rifts across history — and a countdown: 72 hours until a “cataclysmic merge” where all timelines collide.

Josh discovers another survivor trapped in 2021: (recurring actor), a scientist from the 1950s who stepped through a rift decades ago and has been hiding in plain sight. Paulo reveals the truth: The rifts are caused by a decaying “temporal anchor” buried deep beneath La Brea, a device built by an advanced prehistoric civilization (the “Ancestors”). If it fails, all of time collapses.
