Let's make some memories.

Dr. Dubray: I have this nagging feeling there was something I was supposed to do.

Jack and Allison are trapped within the Global Dynamics building during a countdown for a sonic cleaning. Fargo messes with the memory recording system Dr. Fontana has been working on, which accidentally leads to widespread amnesia.

Tropes

  • Brain Bleach: Fargo replaced all the embarrassing memories of him with the Man in Black fantasy from Noche de Suenos. Carter looks sickened after watching it.
  • Clean, Pretty Childbirth: Baby Jenna is clean and looks a couple weeks out at least.
  • Clip Show: A memory device makes everyone recall memories from older episodes.
    Fargo: Tess, can I get another story thing? I think mine overloaded.
    Carter: Oh, ya think? You've been at the centre of every disaster this town's ever had.
    Fargo: Not all of them!
    Jo: Uh, death ray, homicidal smart house... ooh! Force field bubble.
    Carter: Yeah, keep a tally, we can start a pool.
    Fargo: That's not funny.
  • Deadpan Snarker: When Tess hands out the memory balls, she tells people to use them to record significant or memorable moments. Carter quips, "Do we have any of those around here?"
  • Delivery Guy: Carter helps Allison give birth to Jenna. Zoe does the actual delivery.
    Zoe: Sex ed at Tesla is, uh, pretty comprehensive.
  • Instant Birth: Just Add Labor!: Jenna is born ridiculously quickly. There's at best an hour between the start of labor and her being in her mom's arms.
  • Maternity Crisis: Allison goes into labor just as she and Carter are trapped in a lab that is supposed to be sonic cleaned very quickly and everyone is losing their memories, so no one knows they need help.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Using the memory ball network could restore everyone's memories, or erase their minds permanently. This has Fargo hesitating to press a button.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Fargo causes mass amnesia by removing all the embarrassing memories of himself from the network.
    Carter: Thank God, how's it going?
    Tess: Hi, I'm Tess. And you would be...?
    Carter: Totally screwed!
