Mm.

Okay, worm time.

Yes! After we do
this one teeny tiny thing

I may have forgotten to mention.

An infest-ectomy

And Azel's the guest lecturer?

Are they?
I totally forgot.

I am Dr. Azel.

Today we're doing
an infest-ectomy.

Dr. Klak begins with
a perfect incision.

She is a meticulous,

I think that's a look of...

Dr. Sleech, you've once again
ruined a surgical demonstration.

And saved a life.
Admit it, you loved it.

Textbook as ever, Dr. Klak.

- Is that a good thing?
- Mm-hmm.

Those glasses suit you.

Dr. Sleech.

You cannonballed into that body

with the grace of
a Harganthian Hogflea.

What a privilege to be
entered by you, medically.

I apologize
for my visible arousal.

Well, that's my cue.

I've been hoping
to speak with you.

Despite its sudden nature,

I don't regret our public
and frenetic fornication.

I also like that your emotions
and actions tend to line up.

Most people's do not.

If you're interested,

perhaps we could go
watch a sun die sometime?

Oh! No.

I thought
I was attracted to you, too,

Hi, girls. I'm Luxex.

You don't remember me,
but we go way back to today.

A bunch of times.
I'm in a time loop.

- We're gonna need some...
- Proof. You always do.

Yep. She's in a time loop.

Okay, to answer
your next questions,

- yes, sleech, you have a UTI.
- [gasps]

- No, Klak, you didn't leave the lab fire on.
- [sighs]

And the reason I'm here
is because I need you

to remove my LoopChip.

A LoopChip?
Like from those old ads?

[Luxex] Life. It's what makes
existence worth doing.

- [screeching]
- So why does it have to end?

Our answer is: it doesn't.

LoopChip identifies
the exact moment of death,

and using our patented
Time Loop technology,

safely relocates you
to wherever you were

twelve hours before death.

While LoopChip cannot reverse
or prevent your death,

it can give you plenty of time

to find a hospital
to address your symptoms.

Buy it before it's illegal.

'Cause if it ever is,
it already has been.

death is yesterday's problem ♪♪

I was LoopChip's
primary investor.

I'm the reason lots of
your favorite gadgets were made.

Gravity Blasters,
Erasable Scents, Memory Gum.

Memory Gum? What's that?

[laughs] Exactly.

How many times have you seen us?

A few weeks of todays.

I come in,
we sing the jingle,

I explain I'm gonna die
from a triple heart att*ck

at 4:57 p.m.,
to which you say...

[both] I have always wanted
to do a time surgery.

Oh, this is fun. Do Klak.
Say what Klak's saying.

[both] No, please don't.
It's so spooky.

Okay, that's enough. Ah...

You've done it many times.

Last loop,
you almost got it out.

I'm gonna regret this.

Time to compete

Again,
sglorb-glorb and 15 groundsans,

We were supposed to be
picking our specializations,

not reporting
our stolen hovercar.

[gasps] We're gonna
miss the deadline,

never get jobs,
and then I'll be forced to

cowrite my mom's next book

Stop Klak-tastrophizing.

Don't use my mom's term.

[groaning]

Ah! Is anyone a doctor?

- Yes!
- Kind of.

Time for us
to remove the LoopChip.

The chip's designed
to prevent tampering,

so when it's exposed to air,

a slow-motion bubble
will appear.

[Klak] Slowing down
everything near the chip.

[Sleech] Except for us.

I'll use a tachyon booster

to make us move hyperfast,

which, in slow motion,

will make us move
at normal speeds.

[Klak] At which point, we can
disable the slo-mo bubble.

Because of the tachyon,

We'll be moving
dangerously fast,

so I'll bring
the room's temp down

to 30 DelZorks to slow us down.

[Lexux] That happened last loop.

Not this loop.

I'll bring the room's temp down
to 40 DelZorks,

and then it's all systems go
to remove the chip.

[grunts, groans]

[gasps] Look.

- A range extender.
- That's for couples.

It extends the time loop
to two people.

Romance may be dead,
but you're not.

What if we did something
that wasn't textbook?

- Azel still in your head?
- And in my heart.

These loops could give us
a consequence-free way

to run tests on Larvin.

Do you think
that range extender

could bring three people
into the time loop?

Why would you want
to join my time loop?

We'd like to research something

that could help a lot of people

but could also k*ll us
in the process.

Hmm. High risk, high reward.
You're speaking my language.

Put my name down as an early
investor and give me 50%.

- You don't even know what it is!
- [Sleech] Deal.

Can't wait to see
what I invested in.

- [device crackling]
- Ah! My hearts att*cks.

[groaning]

We are witnessing

once-in-a-lifetime
backwards rain.

[groans]

- In other news...
- We did it.

We're in Luxex's time loop.

So, it appears we're in
a hospital-wide time loop.

Our best guess is there's
some sort of illegal time device

with a limited range.

I've alerted the GHU,
though it's impossible for them

to travel into
an active time loop,

so, really, we're on our own
without a life raft.

Will we ever find out
if Dagogo clones

the clone of her clone
on hit show My Lover, My Clone?

[sighs] Only time, tricky
mistress that she is, will tell.

All we can do is our jobs,

- which today are the same as yesterday.
- Hmm?

Okay, everyone,
have a nice loop.

Uh, you should move.

I didn't mean to loop
the entire hospital with us.

We're putting everyone at risk.

At risk of what?

There are no known side effects
of time loops.

[chuckling] At risk of what?

At risk of dying
and starting a new multiverse.

At risk of causing
collective psychological trauma.

At risk of going to Time Jail.

I've heard that
by the time you get out,

you haven't even gone in.

- This was your idea.
- I know, I know.

The research, the glory,
the helping people.

Two of which would impress Azel.

Okay, Larvin,
you better be worth it.

[worm groans]

Hey, Dr. Plowp,

do you have any idea
who is behind this loop?

Can you feel anyone's guilt?

Uh... Just the titillating guilt

around Flork's affair
with Gonto from HR.

Okay. [laughs]

Hiring empaths is a liability,
huh?

I don't know
who could've looped us.

This is a Splee creature.

This is Dr. Klak.

And I'm Luxex.
Hope your brain's profitable.

Thank you for taking part
in this clinical trial.

It could help a lot of people.

Oh, yeah. Okay. [chuckles]

- He's already out of anxiety.
- Ah...

You might get away
with my m*rder,

- but they'll find the others.
- m*rder?

As expected, the worm
manufactured more anxiety.

That guy was a m*rder*r, right?

Oh, yeah. So, uh...
How about a Gorp?

which was recalled

You're under arrest.

On the bright side,
we stopped the time loop.

I was so young then. So lithe.

You broke up with me
three weeks ago.

Okay. [laughs]
Why would I break up with you?

You are so hot and smart.

Very toned.
Do you like older women?

According to my therapist...
Hang on. I took notes.

Uh, you're not attracted
to people who challenge you,

likely because
you're subconsciously

afraid of real intimacy.

Ew, your therapist is Mom.

Of course you talked about me
in therapy.

What were you wearing?

Also, you said
I look too much like Klak,

and it's weird during sex.

I can get you both back home,
but I need to arrest Luxex.

- No! You have to let us treat her.
- Ooh!

It's my fault she broke the law.

[laughs] You think this is
her first infraction?

We've been tracking her
for decades, in both directions.

Stop playing with my portal!

I'm the reason she's hurt, okay?

I-I was... I was trying to
impress someone.

Everything we've done
will be for nothing

- if I let her die now.
- And, if this room is bugged,

I was the mastermind
and Klak merely my pawn.

- I'm the one you want.

And be back here with Luxex

Outside of this one
highly improbable time anomaly,
