Logan is sent back to 1977 when a time-ripple is detected, centring on a major jewel-heist where the perp was caught but the jewels never recovered. Sent with him is the streetcop that worked on the case, now on the verge of retirement. Once back in '77, the cop double-crosses Logan, intending to make up for years of having the finger of suspicion pointed at him by mugging the thief and taking the jewels for himself before they're hid. Logan resorts to recruiting the help of the cop's younger self to catch the future version.

At a shoot-out in a bowling alley, Logan discovers the would-be killer is Pascoe (who escaped at the end of episode 1). After Pascoe escapes again, Logan finds he's been sent help for this one... Officer Hemmings.

He's tracked down to 1928 where it's discovered that Pascoe was the mastermind behind Al Capone's whole criminal empire. The exchange fails when the Feds bust in.

Tracing a rogue Timecop back to 1989, Logan finds himself in familiar territory -his hometown when he was a teenager. Catching the rogue, Logan returns to the future only to be arrested himself. The rogue cop has changed Logan's past. In this changed timeline Logan -nicknamed Jumping Jack Flash- became the most notorious time-criminal ever. Despite his protests that his past has been altered, he's sentenced to death. He's forced to assume the role of "Jumping Jack" in order to escape by kidnapping Hemmings, but is wounded by a lucky shot from the rogue (who's still a trusted officer in this timeline). Once out he proceeds to convince her of his story by telling her things he otherwise couldn't know about her. Meanwhile back at the T.E.C, Dr. Easter becomes suspicious when reviewing video-camera footage of the escape -could "Jumping Jack" be telling the truth? Logan gets patched-up and he and Hemmings proceed to a disused warehouse where Logan has worked out the rogue cop's timesled equipment is kept. Going back to '89, he must put his younger self back on track, whilst evading recapture.

After almost getting killed on a mission back during the American Civil War, thanks to faulty Temporal Controllers, Logan and his partner Tommy Maddox are grounded until Hemmings' team can work out the fault. Cromwell Technologies who lost the multi-billion dollar contract to supply the tech are suspected of sabotage, but no proof can be found. A ripple is detected back in 1990 right inside T.E.C headquarters. Logan and Maddox go back to find a disused base, due to the T.E.C of the time being suspended, pending a Senate investigation. While there Maddox tries out some old Timesled technology for fun, but becomes trapped in one as it activates and speeds off, sending him back to an unknown time and place. Hemmings is sent back to help Logan find out what's happened to Maddox. Meanwhile in the future, Cromwell is finding his present changing as his computer suddenly refuses his passwords and displays the name "Maddox Technologies." Using an illegal timesled, Cromwell goes back to stop his company from being bought out from under him. Logan and Hemmings eventually work out that the ripple that sent them back was a false signal thanks to more sabotaged tech which Maddox performed after Cromwell paid him off. Only now Maddox is double-crossing Cromwell. As Logan and Hemmings look for Maddox, Cromwell catches them on the hop and injects Hemmings with a synthetic poison which will kill her in thirty minutes if the company doesn't return to his control.
