Synopsis:

After rescuing Ted Kord, Booster and the gathered Blue Beetles head into the timestream. There, they encounter Extant and Parallax, and in fleeing from that battle the time sphere is damaged so they must land in the 25th century and the Time Museum on the very day Booster throws a game to help his father pay his gambling debts. The group steals the Time Museum's time sphere and all the Blue Beetles return to their own times, Dan Garrett and Jaime Reyes retaining no memory of this adventure. When Booster and Ted return to the present, however, they find a world over-run with O.M.A.C.s.

Indexer Notes

Ted's final line -- "Oh boy" -- is the second time in the series that that line has been used to evoke the TV series Quantum Leap, which had a somewhat similar premise to this series.
