It's not exactly the first time a movie or TV series has dabbled in a bit of revisionist history, particularly when it comes to the Nazis. In this episode of Misfits, an old man purchases Curtis' old power from Seth and goes back in time to kill Hitler, things go terribly wrong and an alternate timeline is created where Hitler lives, kills the old man and the Nazis win the war because of a cell phone.
Shift to present day where the Nazis rule Britain. Outside the community centre (which is also a prison), we see soldiers taking a man out of a trunk … it's Seth! It seems they are rounding up people with powers. This is definitely not a good thing. And a couple of familiar faces are Nazi guards - the probation officer, and of all people, Simon! We find out the Nazis are using Seth to figure out who has powers, which very briefly brings back another familiar face, Peter, but he is very quickly shot to death by the Nazis.
We learn that Simon was conscripted, so he doesn't want to be a Nazi, and he is much like the Simon we know in that he tries to be the hero. The same old man who changed the course of history is imprisoned at the community centre and very sick, so Simon tries to steal antibiotics to help him. Alisha is working for the Nazis as well - again, not by choice - as a secretary. The probation officer from our timeline is high up in the Nazi ranks, but he's still a slimeball, and has Alisha working directly with him, mostly because he thinks she's hot and that he can have his way with her. Alisha learns that Simon is trying to help someone out, and she creates a distraction by kissing the probation officer so that Simon can steal the antibiotics. It appears that even in this timeline, Simon and Alisha are drawn to one another.
A Resistance has formed that will try to fight the Nazis, and Curtis is a part of this, as are Kelly and Rudy. They want to stop the Nazis from rounding up everyone with powers, and know they need to do something about Seth. The action moves to the prison and Seth is forced to give powers to a Nazi captain. The Nazis are using the powers with the hopes of becoming invincible and all-powerful.
We see that Kelly is still in community service, and is feeding the prisoners. She pours something into some of the food - it's poison. The intended target? Seth! But when she gets to his cell, she finds that he's hung himself, but he survives.
In a conversation later on with Curtis, we learn that Kelly was supposed to poison Seth so that the Nazis couldn't use him any longer to take other people's powers. She goes back to see Seth and feeds him, and he tells her that the Nazis are planning to move him to a "more luxurious prison". With that detail, the Resistance is able to come up with a plan.
As the Nazis are transporting Seth, a woman with a baby in a carriage quickly come into their path and there's a collision. When they get out to investigate, we see that the woman is Kelly in a mask and the baby is a doll! The Resistance - Curtis, Kelly and both Rudys - has created a diversion, intercept Seth's transfer, and rescue him.
The Nazis are mad, and seem to think that Alisha was the leak, but the probation officer basically says that she's too stupid to have orchestrated anything so elaborate.
Simon continues to care for the old man, who tells him, "This shouldn't have happened." The old man takes full responsibility for everything that has happened.
The Resistance is keeping Seth at a "safe house" - the same bar where Curtis works in our timeline. Seth tells Kelly that he wanted to be the ultimate dealer, and Kelly confesses that she was going to kill him until she saw he tried to kill himself. Kelly then falls asleep with her head on Seth's shoulder.
The Nazis then raid the bar, but Curtis and Rudy try to make it seem like they're the only ones there. Kelly and Seth are hiding in the cellar, and as the probation officer searches for them, he makes the discovery and threatens to shoot them through the floor. Seth comes out of the cellar, and it looks like he's about to surrender, but instead, he fights back and Kelly escapes. Seth, Curtis and Rudy are arrested.
Seth is back in jail, in a cell beside the old man who recognizes him as the person who sold him his power in our timeline, but Seth doesn't recognize him. The old man tells Seth that he gave him the power to go back in time and that he didn't succeed in killing Hitler. Instead, the Nazis took his cell phone and used the technology to win the war. The scene shifts to the probation worker, who has found the letter that the old man had written, explaining what he has done. Back in the prison cells, the old man asks Seth to take his power back and "put it right".
The Nazis have other plans for the old man. They want the power to die with him because too much could change and they'd no longer be in power. The captain asks Simon to shoot the old man. Simon silently disobeys at first, but then is forced to draw his gun, but doesn't get a chance to pull the trigger because the captain shoots the old man instead. They demand that Seth give Curtis the old man's power, which Seth appears to oblige. Curtis having his old power back is short-lived, as the captain shoots Curtis dead.
Alisha goes to a shaken Simon to see how he is, and he says that he just stood there as old man was shot. He may not have taken control of the situation, but he certainly makes a bold move at this point and kisses Alisha.
Enter our hero for this episode - Kelly! She shows up at the community centre/prison with a gun in each hand and shoots up a bunch of Nazis! When she runs into Simon and Alisha, they offer to help her, and off they go to the cells to save Seth. They put up a really good fight, but end up cornered by the Nazis. Kelly creates a brief diversion with a can of pop that the Nazis think might be a grenade. A firefight worthy of a video game or a big budget action film ensues, and Seth is shot. Then the Nazis fire back with tear gas. Seth tells Kelly that he didn't really transfer the power to Curtis, that he still has it. He transfers it to Kelly as he kisses her, and then dies.
Equipped with the power to turn back time, Kelly takes on Hitler. She head butts him and takes back the cell phone. And then, in classic Kelly fashion, she asks Hitler, "Why you got to be such a dick?"
She goes back to the future and everything seems to be back to normal again. She goes to Seth and tells him what happened in this alternate version of history. He asks her if they shagged; she says he kissed her when he gave her the power. She asks him to take this power from her because she doesn't want anyone to be able to change history again. The friction continues to build between these two, and Seth has opened up a bit to Kelly. He tells her that there's a lot she doesn't know about him, and she responds that the knows there is much more to him than just being a dealer.
Kelly finally meets up with the rest of the gang again, and they ask her where she's been. Her response? She was just fighting Nazis and kicking the you-know-what out of Hitler!
In tonight's new episode of Misfits, we're in for an ol' switcheroo when Kelly gets trapped in the body of a girl in a coma and coma girl takes over Kelly's body! Will the gang learn what's happened and save Kelly before it's too late? Tune in at 10pm to find out!
