So, uh… how do the Dr. Narbon and Not Enough loops even work? Unstuck In Time was the only possible divergence point, since it’s where old!Dave tells young!Dave to refill the pool. But at the same time, it has to have happened in the original timeline too, thanks to the aforementioned loops as well as the fact that the crew knew that young!Dave would show up. So, was there some sort of even more original timeline that the original Dave traveled to in this arc where old!Dave was disillusioned enough not to tell him to fill the pool, but did something else that made Dave care enough to try and change things on the next run-through? Is there some sort of infinite string of Bad Timelines making slight changes until it finally stabilized with the Narbonic timeline?

…TIME TRAVEEEEEL!

For once, Dave is able to keep straight which Helen Narbon it was that actually killed him.

It seems I'm being kidnapped,
And dying's what I'm gonna do!
But I already did that,
And it was all because of you!
I'm gonna die for Science!
("You're gonna die for Science!")
My mom is gonna kill me, too!

This is one of the cutest and silliest kidnappings ever committed to paper.

Ah, but Bill has a functioning normalcy filter, unlike Dave. Thus he doesn't have a clue what is going on.

And of course, Dave doesn't even blink at "all the torture"... after all, he's used to that!

Friday:

The real reason she's doing this is because she isn't going to admit her shortcomings in physics, and is instead going to just recontextualise Dave's condition as a biological abnormality. Weeeeeeak!

I'm telling Dr. Narbon
About the day I've had!
It's strange that she believes me,
But then, she's freakin' mad!
And now I'm being kidnapped
Underneath her arm!
And very soon she'll be inflicting
Such entertaining harm!

I hear her chuckles softly,
In that familiar voice!
I shouldn't trust the evil,
But I don't have a choice!
And soon I'll be dissected,
Soon I'll meet my doom!
I know the younger Beta version
Won't want me in her room!

Glad to see you, Dr. Narbon!
Glad to see you, Dr. N!
Now there's a phrase I never thought I'd say ...
Still, nice to see you again!

I went blank there for a second;
Got a short attention span!
I'm jumping all around between the future, past, and present ...
Wish I could have a black and tan!
