Our heroes were sent back in time to make sure that the Hindenburg did crash and burn, because the bad guys wanted it to crash at a later date when it had some important people on board, in relation to World War II leaders.
Our heroes got the job done, but were a day late and a dollar short, so when they got back home things had changed a little. Our heroine was missing a sister who was never born, and horrors of horrors, her mother noticed she wasn't wearing her engagement ring. Just as she's starting to get the third degree from mom, she is saved by the phone, with a request that she urgently return to work, and she'd better be on Time. What will happen next?

The episode everyone on the forum will want to see (and probably be very disappointed in) will be next week.
Will Abraham Lincoln be assassinated?
Will John Wilkes Booth escape?
Will Mary Surratt be hung, or does she escape to Gattlinburg and open a popular bed and breakfast?
Will Stanton finally shave off that shaggy beard?
Be sure to tune in to see if history changes.

Did our heroes goof up again and change the future?
Will Laurie still have a job when our heroes return from their quest?
Will Bill O'Reilly's popular book be titled "Killing Coggeshall?
Will this post disappear? (don't answer that)

In the mean time, what would you like to see happen? Share with us, but remember, your entries must be postmarked no later than Sunday at 12:01 AM.
I'm sure Roger can come up with a nifty prize for the winner, unless by this time next week the present has changed and become so messed up that Roger is hosting the Millard Fillmore Discussion Symposium.

To bad so many people may watch this and not know what is truth and what is fiction.

Due to the overwhelming response to this question, so far your stuck with this impossible scenario,
My idea...gov't finds out an attempt on Lincoln's life will be made at Ford's. Lincoln shaves off his beard as a partial disguise and a look a-like goes in his place.
Booth is expected at the theater, manages to shoot and wound the look a like, stabs Rathbone, and still makes his escape. Instead of escaping into southern MD, he goes underground in Washington hidden at a southern sympathizers home in the basement. After a couple of weeks he manages to sneak out of Washington.
the Lincoln look a like is taken to the White House in guarded condition. The real Lincoln has to decide whether to pretend to recover from the assassins attack, or leave Washington and begin life over in Oregon. Stay tuned.....meanwhile, our heroes return to the present, where Canada and the United States are one giant country and the new flag now has 53 tiny little maple leaves instead of stars. Our heroine has returned to find she is a single mother, with two adopted children of mixed nationalities, and is the leading contender for a reality show sitcom on NBC in the fall.
And our hero, is now a highly sophisticated independent military expert who's experience consists of playing video games that simulate drone aircraft under combat conditions, and yoga instructor.

Be sure to play the music while you read this...and read slow, (makes a difference doesn't it)
