Summary
A preview of "Zombie Dinner Party", a new film about zombies killing people is watched by Mordecai and Rigby at Margaret's restaurant. Rigby has two tickets to see it while Mordecai, has two tickets to go see "Pajama Sisters 2", a film about girls expressing their feelings. Rigby does not want to see it stating "it's just 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 due to this.

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 turning Mordecai jealous 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 and winning, 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 puts them in a microwave to boil them, so that Rigby won't know what time his date with Margaret is; this action causes Mordecai, Rigby, and the microwave to go to another dimension.

They fight about the date with Margaret. Mordecai said that Rigby had to butt 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 as Mordecai screams "I'll kill you!" and pushes Rigby off the microwave, instantly disintegrating and killing him. Mordecai, shocked at what he's done is taken to a flat surface. He finds invisible furniture and an invisible door. Father Time, an entity made out entirely of clocks 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" back in time. Mordecai hops on the "time pony," which is invisible. This is met by Father Time's comment that "Is that how you ride a time pony ?... It's just weird, is all." We then see the invisible pony fly forward, and Mordecai backward, while seeing the process of going back in time. Mordecai goes back to the beginning of the episode when Rigby tells Mordecai that he has 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 a "maybe a little bit" jealous.

Trivia

 * Occasionally, a couple would close their mouths and touch lips during a kiss after they touch tongues; but in the game Mordecai and Rigby were playing, the tongue-touching went on.
 * This is the only episode to date where 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.
 * This marks the first time Mordecai is an antagonist 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.
 * This is the second time Muscle Man has appeared without High Five Ghost, the first being Mordecai and the Rigbys.
 * When Zombie Dinner Party was advertised and said there would be blood, the human blood that leaks is too light compared to real-life human blood.
 * When Mordecai travels to the flat surface, the environment looks exactly like the one on the show's intros.
 * 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 first of two episodes where Rigby wears something, and the first alone where he combs his hair and wears a watch. The second episode for Rigby to wear something is Party Pete.
 * Why didn't Rigby ask Pops what time it was since Pops was watching the 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 High-Five Ghost don't appear.
 * Pajama Sisters 2 is kind of similar to the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
 * When Mordecai yells "I'll kill you!" to Rigby and pushes him off the microwave killing him, it could be a reference to the infamous "This is Sparta!" sequence in the movie 300, in which King Leonidas kills a messenger by kicking him down "the Pit of Death".
 * 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.
 * If they were in space, then Rigby would've suffocated from shortness of air than disintegrate but they were in another dimension. It is still unexplained how come he disintegrated, unless the passage of time aged Rigby while he was traveling through it extremely fast, thus explaining his aging and withering away before turning into dust.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * This is the first time Mordecai is the antagonist.
