Eureka: Season 2, Episode 1

2 - 1: Phoenix Rising

A solar eclipse happens in Eureka. Following the restoration of the timeline, Carter and Henry must adjust, while Allison gets Nathan's job, and citizens of Eureka start to spontaneously combust. 3 Scientists spontaneously combust, all of them having little to no relation to one another. One of them is Kevin's (Allison's son) therapist. Kevin hints that when he went to therapy, he would sometimes go to 'the man downstairs'. Carter tries to get Henry to help him adapt more to the timeline. Carter follows many leads to the possible deaths, he even suspects Henry at one point, also blaming Vincent's five-alarm chili. Through investigating he finds out that all three scientists were in a lab adjacent to the Artifact during the explosion, and radiation from the explosion infects them, and later causes the body's electrical system to overload. They also discover that Kevin was in the lab as well, but he is unaffected. They conclude that Stark was infected, too, so Stark (who no longer works at GD) sneaks in and goes to the Artifact chamber, just to find that it is dead, instead of looking like a fireball, it looks like a mass of roots. They get Stark into a lab and attempt to cool him down, they discover that they can stop him from combustion by electrically shocking his brain. They do this and it nearly kills him but he is brought back. He is not going to combust. It ends with Henry erasing Carter's memory of the alternate timeline, and Henry then destroying the memory erasing device, saying he is never going to forget.
