- Doug and Tony "fall" through time but freeze due to feedback. Ray and Ann try to send them back to where they were before they burn up, and Merlin the Magician appears in the control room and tells them to stop. Everyone in the control room freezes as Merlin stops time, and he flies down He looks around and dismisses the equipment as simple toys, then cause Doug and Tony to appear with a gesture. The two men appear, froze, and Merlin welcomes them home.
Merlin says that they'll do, and introduces himself as soon to be the court wizard for King Arthur. He plans to press Doug and Tony into service helping Arthur, and warns that they could die. He says that when they next meet, they won't remember their meeting but will do whatever he asks. Merlin makes them disappears and tells the team that they shall meet again. He disappears and time restores flowing normally, and they see Doug and Tony appear in the past. The two men see a castle in the distance and figure they're in Europe in the Middle Ages. As they look for a place to stay out of sight, two Viking approach them. The four men fight, and Doug and Tony triumph. The Vikings run off, and Doug figures they'll be back with reinforcements.
A young Arthur steps out and tells Tony to put down the spear he's grabbed. Tony refuses, and Arthur figures they're warriors. He says that the land is being invaded by Viking and Arthur can use strong men. When Doug refuses, Arthur calls them cowards. Merlin appears and tells Arthur that he's there to help him. Arthur doesn't know who Merlin is, and Merlin says that they will be allies in the future. Doug and Tony find Merlin familiar but don't remember their earlier encounter with him. Merlin says that they will fight for Arthur, and Doug and Tony agree.
Merlin disappears, and the crew in the control room watch them. Ray and Ann tell Kirk that they're building power to shift Doug and Tony, and it will take at least fifteen minutes. Ann determines they're on the Coast of Cornwall in 544 AD. In the past, Doug asks Arthur why he's leading them away from the castle. Arthur says that the Viking have taken the castle, and they're his "army" to retake it. More Vikings attack them, and the Viking leader Wotan watches. The Vikings stab Doug in the chest, apparently killing him, and the others outnumber and surround Arthur and Tony.
Wotan tells his men to hold, and realize who Arthur is. When Arthur says that he's sworn an oath of vengeance against Wotan for killing his father, Wotan laughs and slaps Arthur, then promises that they'll beg for a merciful death from him.
Ann and Ray tell Kirk that Doug is dead, and his body was dragged away. Now that their friends are lost, they've lost their fix. Kirk tells Ann to restore the fix on Tony, then tells Kirk that Tony and Doug dropped into a Viking raid that common in that period. Ann gets a signal on Tony, who is chained to a wall in the castle. He manages to grab a nearby torch and starts burning the chain, weakening the links. Once he's free, he sets fire to the hay on the floor and yells "Fire!" When a Viking runs in to put the fire out, Tony knocks him out.
Kirk and Ray see Arthur nearby, and Kirk wonders if he's the miracle they need. They have enough power and Ray wants to switch Tony, but Kirk tells her not to and to start a probe for Doug. Ann warns that they might lose Tony, but Kirk figures that it's worth the risk to save Doug. They get a reaction in the monitors.
Doug wakes up and find his wound being tended to by a woman and Merlin. He vaguely remembers Merlin, and the woman says that Doug in the castle of King Leodegran, and she's his daughter, Guinevere. Merlin brought Doug there, and Doug realizes that Guinevere is the "real" Guinevere. Doug admits that he's indebted to Merlin, and Merlin agree. He tells Guinevere to get Doug clothing and they've no time to waste. Merlin commands Doug to sit up, and Doug discovers that his wound is gone thanks to Merlin. The wizard tells Doug that his name is well-known in Doug's time, and he knows everything about Doug and Tony. With that, he disappears.
Tony slips through the castle and chokes a Viking, forcing him to say where Arthur is. Once the Viking says where Arthur and passes out, Tony takes his keys and goes to the dungeon where Arthur is. He knocks out the guard at the door, then goes in and cuts Arthur free. Arthur is too fatigues from his long captivity to move, and he tells Tony that there's a secret room where they can hide. Tony helps him up and Arthur takes them to the secret room. They go in, closing the door behind them... unaware that a guard saw them.
A messenger arrive at Guinevere's castle and reports that Tony and Arthur were seen at the castle. Doug wants to go to them, and Guinevere warns that he'll need a plan. He figures that he'll go to the castle, scout the place, and come up with a place, and tells Guinevere that she should stay.
In the control room. Kirk figures that Doug was saved by a miracle. Ann figures that she can keep the hold on Doug, and establish one on Tony.
Tony tells Arthur that he knows Arthur will eventually escape.
Ann gets a fix on Tony, and Kirk tells her to switch both of them. Merlin appears and tells them to stop. When Kirk tells Ann to do it, the controls spark and knock her back, but don't harm her. Merlin demands a name from Kirk, and says that he's Merlin. He explains that his job is to make sure that prophecy is fulfilled, and Kirk suggests that he does the same thing. Merlin says that Doug and Tony must stay where they are, and Ann is forbidden to move them. Ray isn't impressed by Merlin's magic, and he says that he will convince them. Merlin makes Ray disappear and then makes him reappear atop a nearby console. Kirk asks why Merlin came there, and says that Doug and Tony won't die unless Kirk wastes more of his time. When Ray threatens to move Tony and Doug, Merlin advises him not to and disappears.
The Viking takes Wotan and his men to the hidden room. They go in and capture Tony and Arthur.
Doug goes to the castle, and hides when he realizes someone is following him. Guinevere is there, and Doug steps out and grabs her. Vikings approach, and one grabs Guinevere while the others overwhelm Doug.
In the control room, Kirk and Ray tell Ann to switch the two men now that they have a fix. Ann is reluctant to disobey Merlin's orders, but Ray figures that Merlin can't affect them as long as he's not there. Ann still refuses, and Ray brushes her aside to do it. The controls spark, knocking Ray unconscious, and Kirk sends Ann to get medics.
The Vikings take Doug to the cell where Tony and Arthur are, and chain him to the wall like they are. Meanwhile, the Vikings take a tied-up Guinevere to Wotan and leave them. Wotan says when he's King of England, he will barter her off to a nobleman in return for his loyalty. He says that he will crush all resistance in England, but first he must be crowned. Wotan cuts Guinevere free and tells her to make herself comfortable, then leaves, locking the door behind him.
Arthur is unconscious and Tony wakes up. Doug figures that Merlin will help them escape. Wotan and two of his men come, in, and one of the men throws water on Arthur, waking him up. Doug warns that Guinevere's father will come to rescue her, but Wotan is eager to have them come so he can defeat them. Wotan tells his bowman to shoot them and leaves, and the bowman shoots Arthur in the chest.
Merlin appears and tells Tony that he was detained, and reverses time to save Arthur. The panicked bowman runs out, locking the door behind him, and Merlin says that he didn't want to reverse time and there is still much to be done. He frees the three men and says that a throne must be won by men, not magic. Merlin says that he's used up most of his magic and only has enough for one more spell, tells Doug and Tony to use their future knowledge and teleports away.
Tony and Doug use thumbscrews to anchor down a pot on the door, fill the pot with water, and wait for it to overheat. Arthur wants to stay and fight, and Doug figures that Guinevere's father would send an army if they can get him. Tony tells Doug to go to Guinevere's father, while Tony and Arthur will search for Guinevere. The pot explodes, blowing the door open.
At the project, Kirk tells Ann that Ray is in the infirmary. He says that an emergency crew of electricians are checking the control to make sure they're safe.
Arthur and Tony sneak through the castle and Arthur finds Guinevere and takes Tony there via a secret way. Outside, Doug finds the king's men and leads them to the castle, where he says they will attack. Merlin appears and asks what Doug plans to attack with. The wizard warns that Viking only fear other Vikings, and he has Vikings. Merlin says that they will storm the castle with Vikings, and gives Doug and the knights Viking clothing. He warns that he's out of miracles and the rest is up to Doug, and teleports away.
Doug and Tony go to the turret of the tower where Guinevere is, dispose of the guards, and Arthur swings down to Guinevere's chamber on a rope. He tells her that the guards outside the door will go to join the battle, and someone will come to get her. He then climbs back up to the top of the turret, and tells Tony to signal Doug and his men while he goes to make the Vikings' defenses worthless.
Doug sees Tony's signal and tells his men to attack. Tony leaves and one of the Vikings wakes up and sounds the alarm. Tony hides as the Vikings run past, then goes to Guinevere's chamber and leads them out. Wotan arrives and draws his sword, and the two men fight. Tony finally runs Wotan through, while Arthur drops a portcullis, sealing the Viking in a courtyard until Doug and his men break in.
At the project, the electricians confirm the controls are safe to use. Kirk tells Ann to switch Doug and Tony.
Merlin joins Doug and Tony, and they watch Arthur sit with Guinevere. The wizard tells the two travels that the king was very grateful to Arthur for driving away the Vikings, and his giving him Guinevere's hand in marriage as well as a round table. Merlin say that Arthur also told him that Tony and Doug will be the first Knights of his Round Table. Doug and Tony are switched away, and Merlin shrugs and says that the age of miracles has just begun.
