Calvin arrives at the booth, and he realizes that the person working there is Klein - more specifically, the one that worked at the movie theater. He shares the same sentiments on fishing as Calvin, but nonetheless Calvin's dad starts fishing.
Meanwhile, Jack and Brainstorm's parents hang out at home, and when the former tries to find Frank he discovers the latter's absence. Shortly after, Calvin escapes the boring fishing trip in his cardboard box before meeting Frank, and the two discuss their fathers for a bit before Klein shows up again, delivering a little spiel on the importance of one's parents.
Realizing the error of their ways, Calvin and Frank part ways - the former transmogrifies their lures into fish, and the latter returns home and directs the embarrassment at Sheila instead of himself. Meanwhile, Hobbes and the MTM try to deal with the void, their deadline almost up, when it suddenly closes itself up. As Calvin returns home from the trip, they decided to never speak of it again.

After this, Hobbes and the MTM try to stop the rupture by firing a different brand of lightning at it. All it does is make it wider, and another attempt to stop it makes it a perfect circle.
Meanwhile, Father Brainstorm continues to tell everyone embarrassing stories about Brainstorm's past, eventually escalating to home movies as well - just as Jacqueline shows up, ready for the family dinner. Needless to say, Brainstorm is less happy than ever, and he sneaks out and flies out of the lab, eager to leave.

The third plotline is initiated when Hobbes asks the MTM about the black hole. The latter says that Calvin "was trying to install a special feature into me that would allow me to travel through time into different universes, but it didn't go through splendidly as he tried to splice the time vortex and an interdimensional portal together. The two forms of energy combined ripped a hole open in time and space." It grows stronger with time, and by 10:07 it'll destroy the entire universe if untamed. Thankfully, it's not too strong yet, and is currently invisibly sucking up light, air, and time.
