Trivia

• Donald gains a lot of weight in the 7 years after Adam, Bree and Chase get crushed by the rubble.
• Future Leo is played by Tyler James Williams, who is the real-life brother of Tyrel Jackson Williams.
• The events in this episode were discussed twice in Bionic Rebellion. Except the second time, with just Leo, Leo made it seem way more dramatic.
  • The events in this episode were also discussed in Lab Rats: On The Edge.

Cultural References

• The title is a reference to the late 1980s film franchise, Back to the Future.

Goofs

• Future Leo claims that Janelle gave him the pink tie shown in the picture of the two of them, but when the dog replaces Janelle in the picture, he is still wearing the pink tie.
• When Current Leo explains to Janelle, he most likely revealed that Adam, Bree, and Chase have bionics to Janelle. Janelle however, did not believe him.
  • However it could be possible Leo told her the story because he knows she won't believe it.
• When Donald says "backup," Chase is standing by him, but when the scene changes to another camera, Chase is leaning with his elbow on the counter.
• When Future Donald was on the holophone, he was in the old lab but in Mission: Mission Creek High they get a new lab.
  • However, this may be due to the fact that saving the Lab Rats completely changed the timeline, because in the original timeline, their deaths would have prevented Douglas from kidnapping them, and by extension, his subsequent act of destroying the lab.
