Ep 1. Ave Machina

In the season 2 premiere of Travelers, titled "Ave Machina," the show picks up right where it left off in season 1. The team of travelers - people from the future sent back in time to prevent catastrophic events - are still struggling to adapt to their new lives in the 21st century.

As the episode begins, Grant MacLaren (Eric McCormack) is still grappling with the realization that his wife (who he believed was dead in the future) is actually alive and well in the present day. Meanwhile, his fellow traveler Marcy (Mackenzie Porter) is adjusting to her new life as a social worker, and struggling to maintain her cover while she deals with the harsh realities of the job.

But the biggest challenge facing the team is a new threat that has emerged in the form of Faction, a radical group of travelers who believe that the Director - the futuristic AI entity that sends travelers back in time - has become corrupt and is no longer working in the best interest of humanity. The Faction has been systematically killing off travelers who don't agree with their cause, and the team is forced to confront them head-on in order to protect themselves and their mission.

At the same time, the team is also trying to prevent a devastating event that could wipe out millions of people. They know that it's going to happen soon, but they don't know exactly where or when. The tension is high as they scramble to gather information and prevent the disaster from happening. But as they get closer to the truth, they realize that the stakes are even higher than they thought, and that they may be putting themselves in even more danger than they anticipated.

As always, the show is full of complex characters, intriguing plot twists, and heart-pounding action. With its unique blend of sci-fi, drama, and thriller elements, Travelers continues to be one of the most innovative and exciting shows on television. If you're a fan of the show, "Ave Machina" is definitely an episode that you won't want to miss.
