"Kappatoo’s computer states to the audience Ultramatch that it is true Kappatoo did indeed time-travel and the person who won Ultramatch is Simon Cashmere from the year 1992. But in an incredible twist, the computer names not Kappatoo as the master time criminal but Zeta, who in turn tries to brush it all off as lies, but the computer informs the police to check Zeta’s dressing room to find Sigmasix wearing a wristband designed for time travel, which they do, and he is subsequently arrested. The computer then shows video evidence of Zeta at various different points of history collecting her antiques, as well as a recording of her telling the computer how she acquired several items and how she time-travels so often. Back at Kappatoo’s dome, the computer explains that he never had a virus and the whole thing was an act to make Zeta think her plan was working. Just then, the computer gets a message saying that the time police want to stop by with Zeta and Sigmasix. The time police inform Kappatoo that unless he is willing to formally bring charges against Zeta and Sigmasix, they will be unable to prosecute them. At first it looks as though Kappatoo will not bring charges as he knows how powerful Zeta is, but just as it looks as though Zeta and Sigmasix are safe, Kappatoo tells her he will see them in court. Zeta is horrified as she and Sigmasix are beamed away by the time police, much to the delight of Simon and the computer. The time police then advise the computer to return Simon to his own time zone, but the computer allows him to stay for the night under the condition that he returns the next morning. The next day, while Simon and Kappatoo are enjoying breakfast at Zeta’s café, Kappatoo gets an urgent message to return with Simon to his dome; once there, the computer advises Kappatoo and Simon about Brian's press conference and how time-travel being discovered in the twentieth century could have a disastrous effect on the space-time continuum.

Brian tells everybody at the farm that the reporters will be there first thing in the morning, and he wants them all there to answer any questions. Hazel begs the children to stop this joke before Brian makes a fool of himself, but knowing it is not a joke, there is nothing they can do. Steve, Lucy and Sharon try to convince Melonie the truth, and at first, she thinks they are lying, until Steve uses Kappatoo’s wrist band to lift a chair, and she realises that the press conference the next morning has to be stopped. Once Brian and Hazel are asleep, they all hatch a plan for the next morning involving Steve getting hold of the videocamera recording and Lucy and Sharon getting hold of some outfits. The next morning, Hazel begs Brian not to go through with his speech to the press, but he will not back down. Steve, Lucy and Sharon put their plan into action. Melonie and Sharon dress as ballerinas and speak like characters from RV series. Brian gives his speech, but the reporters seem unconvinced; this gets worse when Steve and Lucy pretend to be aliens, when questioned. Brian tries to show the reporters the recording, but it is quickly switched by Melonie for one of Sharon, Melonie and Lucy dancing. Desperate not to lose the reporters, Brian demands they follow him and speak to the cow. Steve has forgotten the cow and as they make their way out to the field, he quickly uses the wrist band to stop it talking, but not before changing its moo for various other farm animal noises, and Brian making some very funny movements uncontrollably. The reporters all believe this is a joke and quickly leave.
