Synopsis[]
The boys travel back in time to stop Mr. Krupp from becoming a bully by stopping his mother, Bernice Krupp, from making the key moment that started it all happen: a school talent show. They succeed in making Young Krupp's talent show a success, only to find that their plan has boosted his proficiency, and the wealth he has earned turned him into a ruthless successful child-laboring businessman and when an Alternate Melvin overthrows the new brand of his and sends the wedgie robots into a frenzy command and Captain Underpants is left powerless, will George and Harold be able to return everything to normal and Turn Alternate Timeline Melvin Back to normal?
Summary[]
After spending an entire day of sitting in upside-down chairs Mr. Krupp ordered, George and Harold began thinking of how to make Benjamin Krupp a nice guy, but Erica Wang and her assistant Dante came by and Erica told them that most bullies had awful moments in their lives that made them bullies, so George and Harold went to Krupp farm where they met his mom, Bernice Krupp. She told them that at a fourth-grade talent show, he became a mean guy ever since everyone booed him and threw vegetables at him (brought by Bernice).
After learning of this, the boys ran to Melvin's house to use his Time Toad 2000 once more to change the talent show & make Krupp a nice guy. Upon arriving at the talent show & seeing a young Krupp perform... very terribly, they watch everything unfurl just as his mom told them and when they find him crying in the washroom they watch him vow to be the mean principal they know him as. So Harold and George hopped back onto the Time Toad and went five minutes back to undo Krupp’s portion of the talent show and this time they came onto the stage as DJ Jazzy George and DJ Heavy Harold and helped Krupp with the talent show and it worked.
Unfortunately when the boys back to the present time, they find a factory named Krupp Corp in place of their school before being spotted by robots and they wedgied them and took them inside the factory, where they found Krupp, who was now a ruthless businessman leading the factory staff, all of their classmates, into making toys. Once their shift was over for the night,Alternate timeline Erica Wang told them that Mr. Krupp turned the school into a toy factory, and in this timeline all the students formerly at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School were made to be the workers.
George and Harold make a comic to tell her to help them, but Alternate timeline Melvin Sneedly told them he worked for Alternate timeline Benjamin Krupp, who makes him his furniture, so he told them that he'll make them a 3-D Hypno-Ring and he'll be free. And Krupp heard Melvin talk and said he was a traitor, so George and Harold hypnotized him and turned him into Captain Underpants. But Melvin’s robots attacked him, and threw him into toxic waste, that gave him stretch powers, and George and Harold escape with a sweatnami with the kids, using the inflatable dolphins given by Erica, and they surf to freedom. But not for long. Melvin transformed the factory into Factory-Tron 2000 (Sneedworks), before the robots can kill them, Captain Stretchypants was inside, and attacked the robot from the inside, breaking out. Captain Stretchypants was handling the Factory-Tron 2000 and the boys got the chance to find the Time Toad.
The boys found the Time Toad and traveled back in time. The boys fixed the timeline, and Erica tell them that Mr. Krupp was born mean, which was true. Dante gives a pickle to Erica. Krupp was spinning the kids outside, making them dizzy, while laughing evilly. Erica says that George and Harold left something at Sneedworks. She then tossed the 3D Hypno-Ring to George and Harold.
Trivia[]
- Erica's knowledge of the boys messing with space and time is possibly meant to foreshadow her future self appearing in The Taxing Trauma of the Treacherous Tattle Trials Part 2.
- This is the first episode where Captain Underpants turns back into Mr. Krupp without getting wet.
- George and Harold meet Mr. Krupp's mother, Bernice, in this episode.
- Moral: You can't make people change if they don't want to.
- Harold angrily tells George "Rude!" after he says the line "This looks bad!".
- On multiple occasions, the episode cuts to a brief scene where Mr. Krupp says "That could be true" while in bed.
- The noise from the button that Melvin pushes is the repetitive sound from The Melvin Song which was used in Season Two.
- The robot's transformation sequence is similar to the scene where the Teachertrons fuse in The Tenuous Takedown of the Tyrannical Teachertrons. Which later got defeated by Seargent Boxers.
