When Chet and Bret are preparing for their 6th grade dance, Cyd and Shelby decide to go back in time to their 6th grade dance. Hilarity ensues.

So apparently the 6th grade dance was a humiliating one for Barry and Naldo. Barry ended up stuck in the janitor’s closet, earning him the nickname Barry Cry-senberg. Meanwhile, Naldo’s pants split, earning him the nickname, Barry Cry-senberg’s Friend Whose Pants Ripped. Shelby though is in despair that she and Cyd never got to do their big dance because of a power outage. So Cyd and Shelby decide to go back in time to rectify the situation for Barry and Naldo – and also to do their dance. The challenge is staying away from Bianca (who b-blasts people she doesn’t like).
As luck would have it – and quite frankly it was no surprise – Cyd’s pants split and Shelby ends up trapped in the janitor’s closet. No one at the dance is dancing – except for Principal Dilmore. Cyd soon realizes that Principal Dilmore doesn’t care what people think of him, he’s just out on the dance floor having fun. Here’s our lesson for the episode.
Meanwhile, Chet and Bret decide not to attend the dance. Mr. Marcus, whose taking his wife out to dinner for their anniversary, warns the duo not to open the door for anyone. However, when their buddy Neil shows up, they let him in (or as Bret – or Chet – says, “I panicked.”) The visit turns into a mini world war between the twins. The scene where Neil saves almost every falling object is hoot. Mr. Marcus shows up at the end, and is going to punish Bret and Chet, when he realizes he left his wife at the restaurant.
There’s some good morality plays going on here, but some little pet peeves.
- Princess Daisy does not appear in the episode.
- At the dance, Naldo is Ricky Garcia (Cyd says she remembers he was tall for his age) but Barry is mini-version Barry.
- Cyd and Shelby leave the garage and go back to the dance; when they return, its clear its a few minute later (Barry and Naldo are in the same seats). But Bret and Chet come in and say they are going to the dance anyway. So in what timeline did the anniversary and fun time with Neil take place?
I like the show, but I wonder how many times they can go to the “fixing something that happened in the past” well.
