Ep 2. Created Equal

Created Equal is the second episode of the classic science fiction television show, Voyagers!, which originally aired in 1982. The show follows two time travelers who have been recruited by a mysterious organization to ensure that history stays on course. In this episode, the time travelers travel to Philadelphia in 1787 to observe the Constitutional Convention and prevent a plot to destroy the young nation.

As the episode begins, the time travelers, Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones, are discussing their mission. Bogg explains that their job is to make sure that history stays the way it's supposed to, and Jones comments that it's hard to believe they have such a big responsibility. Bogg explains that they have a guide book that tells them what's supposed to happen, and that they can't change anything.

The scene then shifts to Philadelphia in 1787, where the Constitutional Convention is taking place. Bogg and Jones arrive in the middle of a heated argument between the delegates over the issue of representation. Bogg explains that one of the delegates, Roger Sherman, is about to propose the Great Compromise which will resolve the issue, and they need to make sure it passes.

As the delegates continue to argue, Bogg and Jones overhear a man named Lloyd Halloran talking to one of the delegates about a plan to destroy the convention. They follow Halloran and discover that he's working for a group of people who believe that all men are not created equal, and that the United States will be stronger if they keep certain people in positions of power.

Bogg and Jones realize that Halloran's group is planning to blow up the building where the convention is being held, but they can't figure out how to stop them without breaking their rules. Suddenly, Jones has an idea- he'll use his knowledge of science to convince Halloran that the bomb won't work. Bogg is skeptical, but Jones is convinced that it's the only way to prevent the attack.

Jones meets with Halloran and explains that the bomb won't work because of a scientific principle called the conservation of energy. Halloran is initially skeptical, but Jones convinces him with a series of experiments. Halloran realizes that the bomb won't work, and he decides not to go through with the attack.

With the attack averted, Bogg and Jones turn their attention to the rest of the Convention. They witness the Great Compromise being proposed and passed, and they're thrilled to see that history is playing out as it's supposed to. As they prepare to leave, Jones expresses his satisfaction with the way things turned out, but Bogg warns him that they can't get too attached to their work. They have to continue traveling through time, making sure that history stays on course.

Overall, Created Equal is an exciting and engaging episode of Voyagers! It combines time travel, science, and historical events in a way that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The show's emphasis on the importance of history and the need to preserve it is a powerful message that remains relevant today.
