Looks like we're about to get ugly here...

Just going back to correct an action sets several paradoxes into play.
But setting the Loop Back to a moment before Tabitha and Sabrina came in through the portal, sets into play an action- if not carefully handled, an immediate future where there is 2 Sabrinas but 1 Tabitha.

In this realm, one Sabrina can be sent back to die, the other to live, but creating a twin's paradox of sorts; leaving a twin timeline and different outcomes, only which Tabitha would see to its end.

Then comes the situation of Richard's body. If done, the events incurred wil have no dead body to trip over when they come back. Only Tabitha will have the memory of this. Richard's only memory will be of anger for Tabitha, which will grow more so when she comes to rescue him.

The problem of being the observer/time traveller is that they have their own clocks to deal with as their bodies age. That time is immutable by them, but is mutable by others. In Richard's case- he may not be able to save himself, but Tabitha can save him- though highly angery he will be when he returns. Sabrina and her time-clone will remain to be seen, and only Tabitha will remain the same.

Oh boy Im begining to think the words" Snow ball" effect is an actual scientific term.
She should take a stunner, go before the time the car gets there slow it so it won't hit Richard, Stun Richard, so he can't interfere with Tabby when she comes through moments later to save Sabby. IR Still comes through because of somesort of commotion just as before and returns the stunned body of Richard.
Now depending on how you play the theory that 2 can/can't exist momentarily in the same universe. Tabby has to get the other Tabby to contiune the loop to stun Richard when she sees him laying on the floor when she returns.
Example Me coming back in time to tell me to purchase lottery tickets, but also telling me on this date in the future I must come back in time to tell Myself to buy this Lottery ticket so the events in the future will continue and I will still have the Lottery ticket winnings.

Of course coming back to the future of just a stunned Richard she must convince the team to let her go back to stun Richard or he will die in the events. But at that point its past so we just continue with the story from when Tabby returns almost the moment she leaves to a world where she still has sab and Richard was laying in the middle of the floor stunned instead of dead.

Going to get some asprian. or better yet some

Aye, but the catch will be, as she goes bac into time- the sequence of events shortly after was the time portal openning and Tabitha returns with Sabrina. With one Tabitha in the past to save Richard, that leave 1 Tabitha with 2 Sabrinas and a dead Richard, until the Tabitha in the Loop Back corrects this and then it will be a live Richard.

The Tabitha with the Two Sabrinas will see the mistake, and orders another loop back to correct the dead Richard and the two Sabrinas.

The Tabitha in the Loop back returns to Normal Time and see 2 Sabrinas and a live Richard.

Ugh... Temporal Mechanics makes for such intersting headaches...

counter point Tabby is the only one to return to stop Richard then returns to the moment she entered the loopback. Tabby can only return Sabby at a time after she took her to insure only one will exist.
I agree that the dilemmas of multipule clones showing up to correct things can get out of hand.
The Loop is in motion its just depends on if it laps itself.
Now I might be missing something were to keep the portal balanced for the loopback 2 must return(because IR entered in the past as well) to stop Richard(which would create the 2 tab and Sabs in the past but as long as they return to the future to a moment just after the loopback then only one set should exist). Damn going to have to go back and re read. but even then Tab can take one of the specialist or even Harvey.

Oy this is getting deep

sounds like my mad experiment of sending a mouse into Yesterday...

Yesterday gets filled with infinitum of mice, Tomarrow becomes barren on mice.
