Edd shows Ed the marvels of static electricity but Ed takes it to far and accidentally blows his house up. Eddy then comes along and shows a Jawbreaker. A curious Edd asks him where he got it from (this begins the chain of flashback events). Eddy walks home and sees Jonny 2x4 with the Jawbreaker, Eddy then attempts to eat it but then covers himself in wooded paint to look like Plank. Jonny then thinks "Plank" is acting off because of a chip in his head, Jonny then flashes back to when it happened as he wanted to be a engine piston in Rolf's tractor, but it goes awry and Plank shoots into Rolf's teeth pounding him into the squash. Jonny then rescues Plank which causes a chip of wood to fall from his head.

Nazz then remarks that Rolf looks like her when she was fat, Kevin then flashes back to that time period in which a really obese Nazz rope-swings into the creek landing on Kevin and creating a wave force. A younger Rolf tells Jimmy (who does not have a retainer in the flashback) that it resembles his lazy good-for-nothing youth. Rolf then flashes back to his home country happily swing from a large pole being held by a goat; The Eds then appear and are shocked because Eddy was not remembering this. Ed then tells them that they were standing next a hole in the wall. Ed then flashes back to the scam which ruined Jimmy's teeth, and caused him to wear a retainer. Sarah then closes in to smash them but Eddy saves them by flashing back to a time were they locked her in a locker, but unfortunately forgets she broke out because she had boxing class that day. Ed then runs away and shifts them back to the last flashback. He then proceeds to keep doing to get back to their original moment but he runs too fast and flashes them back to where it all began.

Trivia

 * This episode reveals a lot about the cast, such as Kevin's hair,Jonny's hair, Jimmy's accident, Nazz obesity, Plank's missing chip, Rolf's youth and a little bit of what it looked like, Rolf's gap in his teeth, and the Eds as small kindergarten kids of when they first meet.
 * Eddy's scamming seemed to start early in his childhood
 * The time period that starts at Edd's House go to the right (viewers right) when it goes back in time. But when Ed runs past Edd's house, to the left, they comes even longer back in time. This is an error since they should be going into the future in that case, not the past.
 * While Ed is flashbacking backwards really fast, the 2nd to last one shows Jonny with his head caught in the monkey-bars. This is Jonny as a baby because if you look careful enough, you can see he has more hair than he does now. He is also wearing a diaper.
