Dan Vasser, the lead of the show "Journeyman," is a journalist who jumps around in time, and in the third episode, "Game Three," he jumps into his brother Jack's body. Jack, who is a former tennis pro, is in the middle a tennis game when Dan jumps in, leaving him in a tough situation to navigate.

Dan, now in Jack's body, is unfamiliar with the sport of tennis and struggles to keep up with the game. He soon realizes that this match is not just any ordinary match- his brother is playing against a former rival who has made it his life goal to defeat Jack. The match is important to Jack because his career and legacy depend on it. Dan, still in Jack’s body, is forced to put aside his lack of knowledge and give Jack the advantage he needs.

While in this body, Dan has an opportunity to connect with his estranged brother's past and learn more about his tumultuous childhood. He also discovers that his brother has been hiding a secret, which could cause him to lose everything he has worked so hard for. The pressure and stress of the match combined with Dan's time flashes, add to the complexity of the situation.

Dan soon learns that a few pivotal moments from the past games will play a critical role in the outcome of this game three, and so he must intervene to ensure Jack's victory. In doing so, Dan has to hide his abilities and work with the others around him, including his own sister-in-law, who is cautious about her husband's superhuman effort, to avoid suspicion.

The episode captures more than just a tense tennis game. It explores the life of a high-performance athlete and the pressure they face – from their competitors, fans, friends, and family members. It shows that despite the glory and successes that sports personalities enjoy, it takes a particular kind of sacrifice and routine to maintain your position.

"Journeyman," follows a man, Dan, who jumps through time, but it is also a heartwarming tale about the value of family and communication. This episode is an excellent example of that. It shows the power of sibling bonds and the lengths we go to for each other. Dan and Jack have a turbulent relationship, and Dan's experience in his brother's body gives him a newfound appreciation for what his brother has been through, even if their experiences are different.

Overall, "Game Three," is a thrilling episode where audiences get to see a bit more of the family dynamics between the Vasser brothers unfold. While there are plenty of emotional moments, there is also plenty of action to keep you invested. The competitive tennis scenes are well-choreographed, and watching Dan (in Jack's body) navigate his way around the skills of his opponent serves up a real treat!
