My thoughts on the episode:  >>/196/
wut
Where was the scientific comedy, where was the adventure, where was the episodic existential crisis?
This episode was more about driving the narrative of divorce effects, trice, directly. I mean, I know the author similarly is in the exact same situation, but come on, what does "marriage" have to do with science and existentialism?
I hope it gets back to those questions and fun adventures, it's the only reason we watch the show.

What I believe might happen: 
He will create a time travel device, all to get Szeshuan Sause, causing ripples of historic effects, calling many tropes from it's inspiration and other time travel stories.
