This was probably my favorite episode in the PIF Fantasy Network programming game. Hopefully it will help me again "win" the time slot.

TITANIC (Episode 8)
Original History: Millionaire John Jacob Astor funds explorer Milton Wilford Grove’s 1922 expedition to the Amazon where Grove’s discovers the Mana Plant in a remote jungle valley. Five decades later scientist discover the unique medicinal properties in the plant hold the cure for cancer.
.
Divergent Point: Maxine discovers the cure for cancer is never found because Grove never discovered the hidden valley because Grove himself died in the Amazon before finding the valley. The sole survivor of the expedition blamed the poor equipping of the expedition that led to the tragedy. The expedition was NOT funded by the wealthy Astor because Astor died ten years earlier when the ocean liner he was traveling on never reached port having struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage. Maxine identified the ship as the RMS Titanic but none on the Keyhole team had ever heard of it as in the original reality it was just another ocean liner that served for years until going to the scrap yard.
Team: Saxon, Ross, Blanchard and Freemont.
Mission: Two Divergent Points can now be erased if the team can succefully Keyhole back to 1912 to prevent the sinking.
Saxon, Ross and Blanchard arrive on the Titanic with a three pronged plan. Blanchard posing as a high society type will try and convince J. Bruce Ismay the chairman of the White Star Line to abandon his quest to set a speed record in reaching New York putting the ship at risk. If she is unsuccessful Saxon and Ross plan to sabotage the engines to force the liner to stop. Freemont is sent to the nearby Californian which could have saved scores of lives but it had shut off its radio for the night and did not hear the distress calls. The mission goes awry when Blanchard cannot convince Ismay and Saxon and Ross become trapped in a cargo bay that is rapidly filling with water after the ship hits the iceberg. Now it’s all up to Freemont to get the Californian to race to the rescue and save Astor and the passengers and crew of Titanic.
Note: This is the Freemont-Centric episode and there is a great scene where Freemont surrenders himself as a stowaway on the Californian. He is being held in the radio room and keeps the radio man awake to hear the Titanic distress call, by inventing Texas Hold Em. Freemont soundly beats the radio operator but gives him 99% of his money back if the radioman will open a bank account with the 1% in Freemont’s name when the Californian dock as Freemont hopes over a 100 years on interest will net him a nice profit.
Note 2: This will be the big “November Sweeps” episode and the obligatory Titanic episode that every time travel show is practically required to do.
