## Synopsis

The episode begins with Heinzen and Jacob working on a machine, with Heinzen nervous on the final result of the machine. Jacob points out that Heinzen never told Jacob what the machine was, however Heinzen replies with the fact that he doesn't know what he's making either. While Jacob barrages him for this, Heinzen presses a button on the machine, which warps and distorts the laboratory.

Jacob is extremely nervous, asking Heinzen what he just did. The background becomes visible again, revealing them to be in S1 E2: Money Isn't Funny. Heinzen and Jacob only pick on the fact that the laboratory looks "downgraded". Heinzen and Jacob walk upstairs to find Past Heinzen and Past Jacob making the laser that destroyed the Orphanage Hospital Retirement Home in Money isn't Funny.

Jacob and Heinzen duck down, both of them confused, however Jacob is able to discern that they are their past selves working on the laser, and Jacob gets up to stop them before they destroy the Orphanage Hospital Retirement Home. Their past selves are confused, but Past Heinzen proposes the idea of Jacob being a "clone", since he looks different from them. Heinzen takes offense to this, and past and present Heinzen start fighting.

While they're fighting, Jacob attempts to grab past Jacob's attention so he can deactivate the laser. Past Jacob cuts the only wire in the circuitry board, which causes the laser to fire out, however Jacob is able to catch it with some sort of freeze gun. Past Heinzen fighting himself rams into Jacob, causing him to drop the freeze gun. Wang Taxman, leaving the Orphanage Hospital Retirement Home, gets crushed by this projectile. Past and present Jacob notice, however past Jacob is later killed by being rammed off of the hole put in the wall by the laser.

Past Heinzen attempts to charge present Heinzen, however they are killed with Heinzen swinging a wrench at them. Jacob gets mad at Heinzen for killing everyone, however they are shortly interrupted by the Good Heavens host, who asks Heinzen why his past self is in purgatory. Heinzen admits that he killed his past selves. the Good Heavens host states that he would kill them if it hadn't been for the fact that he technically got what he wanted. The Good Heavens host tells Jacob and Heinzen that they should relive everything that was done over those 8 months, since they technically can fix the timeline for the better. The episode ends with Heinzen stating "Well.. we've got work to do.".

## Trivia

- This Ludicrous Laboratory episode was partially made to have more action to combat the lack of action from S3 E2: Driven Insane.

- This episode's art was majorly focused on the line-art and cleanliness instead of colors, since it wouldn't be noticeable if they had great coloring done on the characters since the backgrounds and some of the characters were made to look terrible.

- This is the first episode to be made after BirdcrapComics was renamed to Studio BCC.

1. ↑ In S2 E2: You're Going Down, Heinzen escapes purgatory. However, the fact that Heinzen's past self is in purgatory means that the Good Heavens Host technically got what he wanted.
