How could it be a single timeline? If they are already there, and she has no memory of the events, then clearly this IS a tangent timeline, if those are the only two possible options… which isn't really the case, nor are they even the two most likely possibilities…
That is dumb as hell!!! if you’re not sure telling her will influence the future or not you don’t tell her shit you lock her in her room and then you send her back the first possible opportunity. There’s only possible for downside with no upside.
"Why did we get divorced?" She cheated on him with an alien whose society views sex super casually and has pheromones that makes anyone affected by them super horny for him. The alien didn't understand how while it fine in his peoples society that wasn't cool to humans.
well if the future her can't remember this happening then its likely the timeline is tangent. if it was 1 timeline she'd have memories of this happening.
first rule of timetravel. NEVER say anything about the future. It will cause problems which ever way. Butterfly effect is a real thing with timetravel.
Actually, she isn't. At least, not yet. We are the sum of our experiences. Past Kelly hadn't experienced what future Kelly had, so no, they are not the same people at all. Even the smallest changes in the past can have ripple effects on the future that are impossible to predict. Even if there are multiverses and they can't affect each other, do you really want to be responsible for possibly destroying the future of another timeline? If time is linear, then you simply cannot let the past be altered or you create a paradox. Since no one has ever time traveled (that we know of), then we really just have no idea what the real dangers of a paradox can be.

Should have limited her information but let her meet people.
That is the worst ideia ever.

just check for matching old scars.

If it was a single timeline, Kelly would've remembered waiting in the next room – she doesn't, so it must be a split timeline…
Well, he worked a lot, and I felt a certain way, so I cheated.

The Janeway Maneuver: peg the temporal prime directive
It can’t be a close loop otherwise the present version of the character would remember being the version who time traveled
Which was it?
Tries to justify cheating, goes behing his back, and then past self shows up and fucks it up in a way that it creates a new timeline. Yeah, FUCK Kelli
why did we divorice, because you cheated
There’s an easy way to know if it’s a single timeline or a tangent. Does her current self remember going forward in time or not?
Or she just makes a mental note to avoid Durilleo
first rule of timetravel. NEVER say anything about the future. It will cause problems which ever way. Butterfly effect is a real thing with timetravel.
Me if I was in. This situation: or how about we wipe her memory and put her in a cryostation then find a way to send her back.
What episode is this
I always hated how they didn't make Kelly take responsibility for being a cheater. She always gets an out.
Wouldnt the future woman know which kind of timeline it is becasue of her memories
Bet she was looking at her old self and was thinking: Look at you. Every mistake I ever made just waiting to happen.
I like how the whole cheating part didn’t come up 😂 being an ass hat is the same weather your partner prompted it or not
At least it led to one of my favorite episodes the alternate timeline where the Kaylin won the war. Loved it.
"You are me…"
