Back on present-day Earth, time-traveling snakes and snake robots are raining down on the planet. Just as Rick planned, the large amount of time travel catches the attention of the Time Cops from "A Rickle in Time", who travel back in time and kill the first primitive snake to use tools, thus preventing the existence of snake civilization and causing the snakes to disappear. Jerry reveals himself to be on the roof, claiming he was there the whole time, and turns on the Christmas lights before he falls off and breaks his leg.
