* "Paraducks" is a shout-out to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', most likely the second movie. DW and Gossalyn use a time machine invented by Dr. Sara Bellum, and travel to when DW was a kid called Drakey, getting bullied by the younger brother of gang leader. DW takes Gosalyn's advice not to intervene, and when they go back to the present, the [[GovernmentAgencyofFiction SUSH]] base is now a body shop that belongs to the gang, with one of the {{Mooks}} resembling millionaire Biff. When DW and Gosalyn travel back in time again, they train a Drakey to be more assertive and the three of them stop the gang, and everything goes back to normal.
