3	Milo, Dakota and Cavendish are being warned by themselves from the future of an emergency in 1965, so they head to that time period while simultaneously inspiring Orton Mahlson to create Dr. Zone. Then, they discover a conspiracy takeover led by one of King Pistachion's sons, Derek, who plans to lock up every human being and replace them with a Pistachion in disguise, having successfully done so in the present. After returning to the present with a leaking time vehicle and discovering where the people are held, Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton must find Professor Time to invent time travel earlier in order to avert Derek's scheme.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* AmusementParkOfDoom: The Pistachions' base is Lard World.
7	* AsideComment: Melissa glances to [[BreakingTheFourthWall us, the viewers,]] and imitates an explosion at the paradox of a-warning-voicemail-from-Dakota-in-1965-to-Milo-in-the-present with Dakota and Cavendish there now.
8	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Milo, Cavendish and Dakota first meet the intern [[spoiler: Actually Derek]], Milo whips out a cattle prod and threatens him with it.
9	--> Cavendish: Milo, [[WhatTheHellHero What in the devil was that?]]
10	--> Milo: Oh, um, I though we were doing [[GoodCopBadCop Good Cop Bad Cop]].
11	--> Dakota: And who are you, Dangerously Unstable Cop? And why do you have a cattle prod?!
12	* BigBad: One of King Pistachion's sons, Derek.
13	* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Dr. Doofenshmirtz finding Milo and companions in his pizza guy trap.
14	* CreepyMonotone: "How has your day been progressing?"
15	* DarkestHour: Definitely. Everyone has been imprisoned, the Pistachions rule the streets and all known time portals and methods of time travel have been eradicated. It all rests on Milo, Diogee, Mahlson, Cavendish and Dakota to find Professor Time so that they can undo the present that is the Pistachions.
16	* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: It's implied Doofenshmirtz built a trap specifically to defy this trope.
17	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Milo, Cavendish, and Dakota exit the elevator into a room with a ''very'' familiar wallpaper of purple with colorful shapes…
18	** To say nothing of them triggering a trap upon entering the apartment...
19	* GiantMook: The giant Pistachion in the sewers.
20	* KillAndReplace: The Pistachions' scheme this time is to imprison all the humans and take their place in society until the human race is outnumbered.
21	* LatexPerfection: The Pistachions' masks are this. In the present, the masks are being made in a storage room in Lard World.
22	* OutOfCharacterAlert: Several of the disguised Pistachions do stuff that seem pretty weird for the character they're impersonating to do (e.g. Max driving a windowless van and Mr. Drako standing in bright sunlight). Another trait they share is asking "How has your day been progressing?" in a CreepyMonotone voice.
23	* PreviouslyOn: The ColdOpening of this episode is a brief recap of what happened during [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E23MissingMilo Missing Milo]].
24	* PredestinationParadox: Several things in ''Missing Milo'' and the ''Dr. Zone'' series make much more sense as of this episode…
25	** Why was Milo in the pilot episode? The boy who was meant to do it (a young Tobias Trollhammer) was knocked out.
26	** Why is one of Dr. Zone's hands covered by a gift box? Several Pistachions are shown with a branch instead of one of their hands. Derek was Dr. Zone in the pilot.
27	** Why does the Time Bee-icle resemble a Beetle or similar? The time machine it was inspired by was Cavendish and Dakota's.
28	** When did he give Orton Mahlson the letter? He travels with 1965 Mahlson for this entire adventure.
29	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Hope remains in a 13-year old WalkingDisasterArea and his dog, an actor, and two hapless, down-on-their-luck time travel employees.
30	* RammingAlwaysWorks: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], Dakota tries it cause "it always works in the movies," but this isn't the movies.
31	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Milo, Diogee, Orton Mahlson, Cavendish and Dakota have to find a way back to the past to defeat the Pistachions and undo their rule in the future.
32	* SideBet: Early on, Zack bets Melissa that Milo and time travel won't end well. Later, they are captured by the Pistachions and learn it had to do with what happened with Milo. Cue Melissa handing over the money.
33	* SpeakInUnison: [[CreepyMonotone "How has your day been progressing?"]] is creepy on its own, but it's creepier when it's said by multiple people at once, like when Zack and Melissa walk into a diner just for everyone to say it together.
34	* ToBeContinued: The Pistachions seem to have replaced all the humans and Milo, Dakota, Cavendish, Orton and Diogee have gone to Professor Time's house to ask for help. When [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Heinz Doofenshmirtz]] finishes his line, it cuts to "To Be Continued".
35	* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The teaser ad for this episode reveals that [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Heinz Doofenshmirtz]] will make an appearance, who in fact only shows up during the last few seconds of the episode, right before "ToBeContinued" appears.
36	** Also overlaps with NeverTrustATrailer as the line, as Dr. Doof saying "Wait, the dog's name is Diogee, what's up with that?" doesn't appear at all in the episode.
37	* TrappedTheWrongTarget: Milo and the gang get caught in a net that was intended for the pizza delivery guy.
38	* VillainousLegacy: King Pistachion may have been erased, but his legacy is still causing trouble.
39	* WhamEpisode: The Pistachions have taken over Danville and likely the whole world, which causes Milo to meet a character from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', taking the SharedUniverse elements to their logical conclusion.
40	* WhamShot: It's revealed that Professor Time may be none other than [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Dr. Doofenshmirtz]].
41	* WhenTreesAttack: Applies to the Pistachions.
42	* TheWorfEffect: Even Brick and Savannah are imprisoned by Pistachion army.
