* BackToTheEarlyInstallment: The last of the three part finale has the universe initially reset to the first episode of the series "The Power", it starts off exactly as that episode begins until halfway through the opening moments, Rigby realizes they've done it all before and what has happened. Eventually he managed to restore Mordicai's memories and they use The Power to go back to the fight between Pops and Anti-Pops. Also during the said fight Pops somehow gets flung back to the student film that first features him before making his way back to the battle.

* BabiesEverAfter: Muscle Man comes home to discover his wife gave birth to a daughter in his three years of absence. By the DistantFinale, he's a ''grand''father while all the park crew have children except Skips (who seemingly remains [[CelibateHero out of the dating game]] because no one can replace Desdemona) and Benson (he and his wife instead raise animals).

** Despite having a major role in seasons five and six, CJ is completely absent, not even showing up to welcome Eileen back like Margaret does. Due to the events of said seasons[[note]]most notably, the infamous LoveTriangle between her, Mordecai, and Margaret[[/note]], it can be assumed that CJ cut all ties with the gang and went her own way.

It's unclear if the rest of the Park crew (sans Skips and Benson) decided to move further away from the Park after (presumably) quitting their jobs, though HFG and Celia are seen [=DJing=] in Prague and Skips is seen running his own auto shop on the side.

Part 2 ends with the universe resetting to the beginning of the series, except since Mordecai and Rigby interfered with the battle, the timeline got screwed up, allowing them to retain their memories of the events and time travel back to the fight.

** Despite having a major role in seasons five and six, CJ is completely absent, not even showing up to welcome Eileen back like Margaret does, though given how CJ doesn't like either Margaret or Mordecai for the events that happened between them starting with "Merry Christmas, Mordecai" and ending at "Dumped at the Altar", it can be assumed that CJ wants nothing to do with either of them and is trying to live her life without them (on top of that, WordOfGod stated that CJ went on to be a pro dodgeball player and still hasn't kept in contact with Mordecai, Rigby, and the rest, whereas Margaret still keeps her platonic friendship with Mordecai while being a field reporter).

* FamilyMan: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue only shows Ribgy and Muscle Man with their wives and children instead of their future careers, suggesting both consider raising their respective families their highest priority.
