Followed Footsteps on Eternal Witness creates a new Witness token at each upkeep; that token's ETB returns Time Warp from the graveyard, and casting it for 3UU restarts the cycle. The table sees the lock close the moment Followed Footsteps resolves on Eternal Witness and Time Warp hits the graveyard — there is no catching up after that.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Strionic Resonator can copy the Followed Footsteps trigger if the enchantment is disrupted and the combo needs a bridge turn. Any extra-turn spell with the same cost or cheaper — Capture of Jingzhou, Temporal Manipulation — substitutes for Time Warp directly; the engine cares only that the spell ends up in the graveyard at upkeep.
