"No, it was not her brother; that was something people made up."

"We suggest you don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out where this episode comes in the timeline of the series — it doesn't. It's a storytelling aberration, if you'll allow."

Apparently the Apple comic was non-canon. Think of it like a "commercial". Then imagine yourself removing the quote marks around "commercial", because it was a commercial. "Ah, now I get it," you're saying. Just in case you're lying, here's another example: Say Team Fortress was Hercules. Our class updates would be all of those times that Hercules fought gorgons or suplexed an evil king into a mountain. The Apple update would be like the time Hercules enjoyed a jalapeño popper platter at Applebees.

"It's a movie so shitty that it's not even considered to be in canon with the rest of the series."
Ah, here, let me translate that statement for people who don't speak Marvel Comics..."We're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry!".

Molly: I had no idea you could sing like that! I thought we did a whole episode about how you can't really sing...?
Libby: Oh, silly Molly! This is a Theme Song Takeover! It's not canon. It's a fantasy!
