Synopsis
Rigby repeatedly makes Mordecai jealous when he announces his plan to go out on a date with Margaret.

Plot
A trailer of "Zombie Dinner Party", a new horror film about zombies killing people, is watched by Mordecai and Rigby at Margaret's restaurant. Rigby has 2 tickets to see it while Mordecai, has 2 tickets to go see "Pajama Sisters 2," a film about 2 girls expressing their feelings. Rigby doesn't want to see it stating "It's just 2 girls expressing their feelings, "fully clothed." Mordecai still wants to watch it yet hesitates in asking Margaret if she would like to come with Mordecai to see "Pajama Sisters 2" with him; soon, Rigby interrupts and makes a joke causing Margaret to laugh, much to Mordecai's dismay. As Margaret brings their food, she brings the wrong food for Rigby, due to her being stressed out about her moving that day. Mordecai offers to help her, as well as Rigby, who makes another joke causing Margaret laugh once again. Mordecai gets angry which results in him kicking Rigby in the leg.

As they load the boxes into Margaret's car Mordecai, tries to tell her about the tickets but still hesitates. Rigby, once again, makes another joke, making Mordecai jealous. He then asks Margaret to see "Zombie Dinner Party" with him and she accepts, making Mordecai even more jealous.

Later, Rigby continues to taunt Mordecai about his date with Margaret. By taunting him with Muscle Man and beating him in a fighting video game, making his player save the girl and make out with her, which Rigby intends to do with Margaret; soon after, Mordecai is seen sitting in front of a TV screen with static. Mordecai shows Rigby that there is no battery in the watch Rigby had been wearing. Mordecai then takes all the clocks in the house (while being chased by Rigby) and shoves them in a microwave to melt them, so that Rigby won't know what time his date with Margaret is. The two proceed to fight over the clocks. However, a sudden electrical surge transports Mordecai, Rigby, and the microwave through a time warp to an another dimension.

They fight about the date with Margaret. Mordecai said that Rigby had to get in and steal Mordecai's girl. Rigby retaliates by saying that he was dumped for some girl who doesn't know Mordecai exists. Deeply hurt, it gets out of hand then Mordecai shouts "I'll kill you!" and pushes Rigby off the microwave, instantly disintegrating and turning him into dust. Mordecai, shocked at what he's done is taken to a flat surface. He finds a invisible sofa and an invisible door. Father Time, an person made out entirely of clocks comes out of nowhere and talks to Mordecai about what he's done, including being jealous, and burning all of his clocks. Mordecai apologizes for what he's done, even admitting himself that he was jealous. Father Time accepts his apology and tells Mordecai that if he ever does this again, he will be sorry. He tells Mordecai to ride the "Time pony" rewind back to where it started. Mordecai hops on the "Time pony," which is also invisible. This is met by Father Time's comment that "Is that how you ride a Time pony?" We then see the invisible pony fly forward, and Mordecai backward, while seeing the process of rewind back to where it started and we zoom out of his eye. Mordecai goes back to the beginning of the episode when Rigby tells Mordecai that he has 2 tickets to "Zombie Dinner Party." Mordecai agrees to go this time, and then tries unsuccessfully to make a joke for Margaret. Rigby interrupts once again, and makes his joke, causing her to laugh again. Rigby sees Mordecai is jealous; at first, Mordecai denies this, but then states he's "maybe a little bit" jealous.

Trivia

 * This is the only episode to date (along with Terror Tales of the Park) when the episode name was shown at the beginning, there was background music playing instead of just the ticks.
 * This episode marks the fact that the house has a grandfather clock.
 * The microwave clock said 7:58 P.M. Rigby would have been late for his date, but wouldn't miss it.
 * This marks the first time Mordecai is an antagonist as well Rigby until the plot changes to the official start of trouble; the second is Jinx when he sadistically kept punching Rigby and would have never stopped being cruel until learning his mistake. However, Mordecai and Rigby are both semi-antagonists.
 * This is the second time Muscle Man has appeared without Hi Five Ghost, the first being Mordecai and the Rigbys.
 * When Mordecai travels to the flat surface, the environment is the same as the one in the show's beginning intro.
 * When he gets to the flat surface, he is first holding onto the microwave from behind; in the next cut, his arms change to the front.
 * This is the second episode where Rigby wears something, and the first alone where he combs his hair and wears a watch. The first episode for Rigby to wear something was The Unicorns Have Got to Go.
 * Rigby did not ask Pops what time it was, even though Pops looked at a clock.
 * This is the first time Mordecai used one of Rigby's catchphrases.
 * Almost none of the park members appeared, Pops and Muscle Man appear but shortly. Benson, Skips, and Hi Five Ghost didn't appear.
 * Pajama Sisters 2 is kind of similar to the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
 * Before Rigby disintegrates after falling off the microwave, he seems to be absolutely still as he screams.
 * Rigby dies again in Over The Top, only Skips kills him this time.
 * This marks the first appearance where they air blood; the second is "Jinx".
 * This is the first time Pops did not speak.
 * This is the first time Rigby dies, but his body is not seen after he dies because he disintegrated.
 * This is the sixth time animals are the antagonists; the first was Death Punchies, the second was The Unicorns Have Got To Go, the third was Don, the fourth was Rigby's Body, and the fifth was Mordecai and the Rigbys.
 * It is possible that Rigby's tail is the thickest part of his body, because when he is disintegrating, his tail is the last thing to melt away.
 * It is unknown why Rigby didn't look at the microwave clock in the kitchen.
 * The part when Rigby is disintegrating is censored in CN Latin America.
 * This is the only episode (so far) to start with an I.
 * This is the second episode where Benson is absent.
 * A scene from this episode was later shown in Diary, making this the first episode to have scenes shown in a later episode (not counting First Day being an extended version of the pilot).
