Gary Brandt delivers a mind-bending cosmic revelation in his tale from The Dimension Of Mind Dot Com when Helana's night school session transforms from comfort seeking into an urgent briefing about temporal warfare.
Her mother drops the bombshell that their entire mission has changed—the mid-21st century war and depopulation event that made Ella, Roxana, and Eileen 'key to saving survivors' is now blurring across centuries, with fixed historical events becoming uncertain due to 'great waves rippling through temporal fields.' The explanation of consciousness levels is staggering: Earth exists at level 3 (three space dimensions, one time), their interdimensional realm at level 5 (three space, three time), but something operating at level 10—'one with the One Infinite Creator'—might be altering reality by modifying the 'core dream' of God's mind.
Helana learns she didn't cause these changes but may have opened a door for entities who could, and that she and her sisters are actually warriors for Light in an invisible war between forces of Darkness seeking to control Earth and Light beings protecting humanity's birthplace in the universe.
Meanwhile, Brandt brilliantly grounds the cosmic drama in very human consequences as Mrs.
Danvers launches her own investigation into the mall shooting, refusing to accept the sanitized FBI version of events.
Her detective skills uncover disturbing inconsistencies: surveillance footage scrubbed, no phone videos until mysteriously appearing later, and witnesses claiming the FBI agent arrived after the gunman was already down.
When she corners Eileen, the truth emerges—her fourteen-year-old daughter made three precise center-mass shots with a dropped police-issue .40 caliber, skills learned from arcade shooter games that 'simulate recoil.' The revelation that Eileen killed someone while essentially being controlled by an Angel (as Helana's mom suggested) creates an impossible situation: Mrs.
Danvers is simultaneously proud of her daughter's heroism and terrified by the supernatural forces surrounding her family.
Brandt masterfully captures the psychological breaking point when a police officer mother realizes her child is involved in something 'bigger than the Navy, bigger than the government,' where refusing to cooperate could mean losing her daughters to secret facilities forever.
The episode ends with Ella's poignant diary entry—after experiencing interdimensional warfare and cosmic revelations, she's just grateful for pizza, movies, and having her sisters safely home, proving that even universe-spanning conflicts can't eliminate the teenage need for normal family moments.
