Plot

The episode begins with Jimmy testing megalomanium (a chemical that turns any living thing it touches into evil tyrants that are mad with power) on a flower causing it to attack the flower next it. Jimmy creates a time portal which is known as the Chrono Arch, a time-traveling machine. Carl and Sheen come in, and call Jimmy to Libby's birthday party. Before they leave for the party, Jimmy shows them their futures: Sheen is a famous male model who fills front page news every time he changes his socks; Carl is a llama caretaker that made llamas beneficial to people; and lastly, Jimmy himself, who won every Nobel Prize ever created. Before they leave, Jimmy tells Carl to wrap his gift. Instead of the lavender perfume that Jimmy prepared for Libby, Carl accidentally grabs the vial of Megalomanium. Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Goddard leave to give their gift to Libby, and then return to the lab to visit the future.

When they arrive in the future, they see that Libby turned into the evil dictator of Retroville, which caused a chain reaction of misfortune for everyone. Jimmy has married Cindy and they move into the clubhouse. He destroys the lab so Cindy's mother could move in with them, and Cindy makes Jimmy take care of her. Jimmy loses his intelligence, having not done any sort of science or inventing in years, Carl is a wanted criminal for not obeying the law of fashion, Goddard is all rusted up and hasn't received any upgrades and Sheen is digging in trash to find food. Courtesy of Libby's reign of tyranny.

The four attract attention of a copbot who follows them to the present and ruins Libby's party. The boys try to destroy the Megalomanium, but since all the gifts look the same, they are forced to resort to the quickest option: keep destroying the gifts until the cop-bot disappears. Cindy finds them breaking everything and leads them the location of Jimmy's present. The cop-bot is destroyed with the gift and disappears, but Libby is angry at the boys for breaking her house, ruining her party, and destroying her gifts.

After finally finding out that the boys risked their lives to save her from becoming mad with power, Libby forgives them especially Sheen and she asks him out on a date at the Candy Bar, but still makes him, Jimmy, Carl, and Goddard clean up the mess that they and the cop-bot made in her house first.

Trivia

• This is the first regular episode to not use the original intro.
  • However, the original intro was used from "Fundemonium" to "Jimmy Goes to College", despite being produced after this episode.
• Carl breaks the fourth wall by saying "Wow! You screamed for 4 minutes Jim.", which is how long a commercial break normally is.
• Goof: Cindy disappeared after that commercial break, though it's possible that she moved to another room during these 4 minutes.
• When Jimmy, Carl, Goddard, and Sheen ran to hide in the portable restroom, Cindy breaks the fourth wall by saying to the audience "Some boys just can't hold their punch!", then smiles at the camera.
• Cindy and Libby's good futures aren't seen at all. Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Goddard were the only ones present, so their futures were the only ones displayed.
• Since this episode features an adult version of Sheen, it is often cited as proof of Sheen's return from Zeenu. However, some speculate that Planet Sheen might not be canon at all.
• This was the first episode to air in 2005 in the U.S..
• This is the second time one of the protagonists becomes evil. The first was in "Sheen's Brain".
• This episode was produced after "Win, Lose and Kaboom!".
• The second room of Libby's presents are alphabetized from L to Y, which are the first and last letters in Libby's name.
• Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen's future selves were previously seen in an issue for Nickelodeon Magazine. In that issue, several staff members of different Nicktoons drew what their characters would look like in the future, in light of the premiere of All Grown Up!.
• Although this episode was released in 2005, you can actually see "Copyright 2003 Viacom International, Inc." at the end of the credits. This means that the episode was produced in 2003.
• Tom Kenny voices the Copbot.
• Goof: When Goddard plays footage of the lab, showing the flower attacking Sheen and Carl, Sheen says "If you'd have been there, it wouldn't seem quite so unmanly." However, this statement is not formatted, as "you'd have" implies "would have" or "had have." It should be "If you had been there, it wouldn't seem quite so unmanly."
