Plot Overview

With the boys wanting to skip over the boring parts of life, Lisa transforms a universal remote into a time machine. It's awesome at first, but Wyatt soon gets tired of it and the consequences inevitably catch up to Gary.

Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Lisa establishes that once a wish is in motion, she can't stop it and it has to run its course.

Trivia

The Show

• First appearance of Principal Scampi.

• Wyatt kisses his French teacher, presumably because he thinks they'll be another rewind, but there isn't and nothing is made of this.

Goofs

• During the first rewind, Ted comes out the bathroom just as Donna says "I hate you, Gary Wallace." However, he comes out later before and after that rewind.
