It had been a while since Rob took The Internet hostage in an attempt to erase Gumball, but from that day some doubts remained in his mind. These doubts had again come to his mind as he was thinking one evening on a bench in the Elmore Park "Rob - (talking to himself) That's strange... yet while I was holding The Internet hostage, it seemed as if there was an interference, as if something or someone was not in its place"
FLASHBACK FROM THE EPISODE THE SPINOFFS
"Rob - (angry expression) How do you not know anything about it? You are The Internet, how do you not tell me what it was?" at that moment Rob was particularly angry, he knew that his plan to sabotage the episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball had failed, but at the same time he had noticed something strange, something suspicious "The Internet - (confused expression) I don't know what you're talking about. First you come here in my house and force me to change the projections. And now you expect me to have seen or figured out some glitch that you probably created?" "Rob - (he approaches The Internet and grabs him violently) Glitch? What are you implying? Do you really think you can lie to me? What was that thing on the screens behind you?" "The Internet - (confused expression) Excuse me, but how do you expect me to see the screens behind me, if I am tied up and now also blocked by you?" "Rob - (annoyed expression) All right, I'll help you. Damn, I thought you more ductile (turns him towards the televisions that are behind him)" "The Internet - (confused expression) And what should I see? It is simply an event that has yet to happen in the future. Those televisions show clips of events that have yet to happen. Then what's strange? I see only Gumball, Darwin and that character who looks like a Pepperoni in front of the Principal Brown's office while they seem to talk to each other" "Rob - (angry expression) But not that!!! I say that thing that appears every now and then on every screen.... Like right there on that television! (he points the television)" and at that time the television showed a similar scene even if distorted, only there were both Gumball, Darwin, Principal Brown and another character who looked like a Chimera but appeared very blurry "The Internet (confused expression) So? What's so strange? Probably it's just another character from that episode" "Rob - (pensive expression) No, it never appears in the other clips. Especially that character is very blurred (Rob approaches the televisions)" "The Internet - (confused expression) But what do you want to do? It's not that if you look at that distorted clip closely, magically you see better" "Rob - (curious expression) No, but I can start the clips from the televisions with the manual controls" and Rob started on two televisions the apparently normal clip and the blurry one, but both were without audio. Both clips started with Gumball and Darwin discussing something with a strange flashback in the kitchen with Richard. Once they were in front of the door to the principal's office, Principal Brown opened the door and after a brief conversation between the three, Rob noticed the difference between the clips. In one appeared that character that seemed a Chimera and then later left the scene to be replaced by what looked like a Pepperoni. While in the other appeared only the character that looked like a Pepperoni, and both clips stopped with Principal Brown closing the door leaving Gumball, Darwin and that character that looked like a Pepperoni "Rob - (confused expression) Did you see? There is a discrepancy in the clips. Can you turn on subtitles? I have to understand what they say" "The Internet - No, these are episodes that still need to air. There is no way of knowing what they say. Then what you see, it could be a temporary glitch for the mess you made in here" "Rob - (angry expression) So it's my fault? Yes, maybe... but let me ask you a question. Has anything like this ever happened?" "The Internet - No, I don't know what was that discrepancy and it never happened. But I'm afraid you're not involved in this either. It looks like something has slipped into that clip... like there is an intruder. But in any case, it does not seem worrying" "Rob - (pensive expression) Intruder? Strange... I'll have to look around and see if it was just a glitch. Although now I just want to reflect after my umpteenth failure to erase Gumball. Now I'm going to leave your house" "The Internet - (angry expression) Hey! But at least free me and let me go back to my activities. I'll pretend nothing happened" "Rob - (embarrassed expression) Excuse me! Now I free you"
