Blast From The Past Week 2 Bug

hey hope you can help me. 

I play on Windows PC if it matters

I am stuck on week 2 of the event.

I started the event with 1 household and created another and then added it from the gallery. I connected the new household to Emit by putting them all on 1 lot and getting them to talk. 

I collected the shards and I got to the point of "show Emit shards of time". I don't have that interaction no matter how many times I re-enter the game or reset either my Sim or Emit. They have like 70% friendship. I have no mods and all packs are legit and so is the base game. 

what do I do? did anyone experience the same issue?
