## Information

### Official Description

Babs tells Flash he can travel back in time, and she travels in time with him to change various events in her past, including switching a bean burrito for a non-bean burrito so she doesn't "toot" during school assembly. After seeing the negative consequences of the changes she made, Babs decides to undo them. Before she undoes the final change, a host of alternate Batgirls appear, split into a camp for the change and a camp against it. They battle each other, and when Babs undoes the change, the alternate Batgirls turn into blue bolts of light and fly into her.

Barbara, with the assistance of Barry, to go back in time and replace the burrito with a vegetable burrito. When they succeed, the two decide to go back to time and fix every regret and they did. However, they return to the present to find Zod controlling everything, so they go back to time and fix everything except the farting incident.

During an alternate timeline in which Starro is destroying everything, Barbara initially blames Barry for altering the timeline, before coming to terms with her mistake and returning to the past to fix everything. The two encounter Barbaras from various alternate timelines, who either attempt to prevent the timeline from being disturbed or wish to remain in the altered timeline. The battle culminates in the Barbara from that timeline eating the bean burrito, restoring the timeline.

## Trivia

* This episode and its premise take elements seen in the *Flashpoint* event; Since on both occasions Babs and Barry travel through time and change various events, which creates several paradoxes with consequences that alter the original timeline, very similar to when Barry Allen in the comic changed the original line by saving his mother; which triggers negative consequences, also giving rise to the *New 52* continuity.
* Among the alternate universe Barbara Gordons seen at the episode's climax include her Burrito Bucketeer persona from "Burrito Bucket," one using her high-tech search equipment from "Meet The Cheetah," another wearing her improvised superhero costume from "Babs Girl," yet another wearing her chemistry lab coat from "Super Who?," and one using her night vision goggle from "Pack Bat."
