So we all agree, dad can't be trusted. [ Not even to stay dead. He'll breeze by that to refocus on them. ]

Bringing you back is the one thing I couldn't do, so in that way, they've done the hard part for us. We just need to find out how to pull our family out of the end of the universe and tuck them safely somewhere with us until we can figure out the rest.

...There's a few problems. If we assume that we'd be returning to three separate points in time, we'd see ripples. Meaning we could split into three separate splinters of the timeline and never meet up again to compare notes. Or the things that Allison remembers happening might be undone, and the reset never happens.

I'm not saying we shouldn't take the memory potion, but we have to be prepared for the consequences. We're only lucky they're moot when you're talking about the apocalypse.
