The people who think the show is terrible are still watching to see "how it ends" ... man what? If I hate a show I bush it with the quickness 
He definitely went somewhere in time or space, in a parallel universe or something. It does give me holodeck illusion vibes. Hippolyta gon wake up in a field somewhere.
Episode fell down from the last one I didn't like
The premise at all

even the first leap has issues. instead of pure time travel, the leap shapes the world so she can actually fit into it instead of having her look like a strange time travelling weirdo. after messing up the dance routine she quickly adapts and nobody thinks that there is anything strange about her. im guessing that afro space lady would have never helped hiram out if he actually succeeded at using it, and that cop that got thrown in is probably trapped forever, and that same space lady probably gave tic a similarly guided experience through time simulations for his own personal development
Its classic occult/mind-metaphysics shyt. That's why the title of the episode was "I Am." Its time travel/leaping in the way ppl of that school talk about and write about. Think of time like a giant sphere/ball of water, everything that has happened, could happen and will happen already exists. This includes multiple realities, decisions etc. To become anything you must assume the feeling of being it and the more you can claim and assume that feeling the quicker it happens. This is where that I am comes in. The I am is your base level of consciousness/existence. Before you claim yourself to be anything, you already are "I am." You can't not be aware of being, it's unfathomable. Before this episode Hippolyta was aware of being small/weak wife of George, mother of Diana etc. After this episode (if she shows up again) she has now become aware of her potential, and how that rests on the things she assumes of herself. The things she places after "I am." That's what that entire bit between her and George at the end was about. She became aware of how others were influencing her I am-ness and how this made her shrink herself, and give away her power. This isn't instant though which is which is why we see her having to be trained to be a warrior, loosening herself up to dance and be liberal etc. Those garments are now what she is used to, she had never claimed them in feeling before but now she has, and now she knows she can. This shyt is in the bible brehs. "Let the weak say I am strong."
Tic has been through the something similar unconsciously with the whole going to war to get away from his father but also to prove he's not soft.
EDIT: To be clear, it's 100% okay to not fukk with this episode but I think it's clear with the name of the episode and everything with the afro chick to even how Hippolyta "jumped" this is what they were going for/trying to portray. There's a lot going on in this show but I absolutely think black empowerment is a crucial part of it and this stuff was at least a part of black history in the early 20th century (Marcus Garvey was a student of this stuff, this is the kinda shyt he was hinting at with his famous mental slavery line).

Finally caught up to this and it's been a struggle the whole way. For everything good the show does (and there is quite some good here) it also does a lot of things incredibly poor, ranging from amateuristic writing (plot holes and conveniences galore) and general bad pacing of the plot.
I want to like this a lot more than I do but it feels like this show will not evolve into something better than it currently is, a borderline 3/5 show.

but there is no way a complete novice would be accepted at that level. this would have been a serious problem. imagine landing in the body of a chef at an elite restaurant and then being allowed to spend weeks making mediocre food for VIP customers. simply not happening. these realities she went into were shaped for her in a way that was artificial.

But that was the point of her story. She was limited. She had no idea what she was capable of.
No one is saying she needed to learn an entire tour worth of choreography. But a person can memorize an entire album in a week. Doesn’t mean they are the greatest songwriter now.
The final scene with her and George wasn’t that she was a better discover than him, it was that she is just as capable to step out and explore and not just stay at home and be safe. Something they could have done together with the guide.
