On his parents' wedding anniversary, Jules surprises them with a spectacular present -- two tickets for the [=McFly=] space cruiser ''Marty'' far in the future. However, Jules' newest invention shows him and Verne a news story that the ship will be lost in space with all hands. The Brown family scrambles to prevent this future and be reunited.
!!Tropes:
* CelebrityImpersonator: One of the entertainers on the ship is a man called "Jimmy", who is hired to copy Marty's act.

** Ziff Tannen mentions "Grampa Griff", who appeared in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII''.
* FamilyThemeNaming:
** The Tannen who sabotages the ''Marty'' is called Ziff, continuing the tradition from Biff and Griff.
** Presumably Marta [=McFly=] is named in reference to her great-grandfather Marty.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: Clara asks Marty (actually an CelebrityImpersonator), "How [[labelnote:off the]]on[[/labelnote]] Earth did you get here?"
* ShoutOut: Verne tries telling someone that their parents are going to be lost in space. He responds, "An unlikely scenario, but a good idea for [[Series/LostInSpace a television program]]."
