Lee held CCR at gunpoint so it's a lore episode with some modern thrown in for good measure! Why can't Jace tell anyone what he's up to until he throws the multiverse into chaos? Why does Tarkir get restored offscreen? Why does Sarkhan get beaten not by a character but a random series of events? We don't answer any of those questions! But we sure do ask them.
