Synopsis:
After a voyage to several time periods, Rip Hunter discovers a stowaway in the Time Sphere. The girl claims to be the girlfriend of Richard the Lion-Hearted, so Rip and his team return to 1194 A.D. When they find Richard, he explains that he does not know the girl. She admits to lying about her identity, and now claims to be Maid Marion.
Rip and his crew locate Robin Hood. However, the real Maid Marion is there too, proving the stowaway's story to be false. Rip is angry at the stowaway and gives her one more chance to tell the truth.
Now, the girl claims to be Paulina, the love of Casanova. Rip tests her, then questions Casanova by himself. When the girl is brought in, Casanova offers to marry her, but he is ugly. She is horrified. Casanova then appears to transform Rip into a bird. The girl confesses her lie again, so Rip reveals that he and Casanova staged the transformation.
The girl finally admits to be from Rip's own time period. Rip takes her home where she is reunited with her real boyfriend.
