Lily hesitantly agrees, but says that Edward is torturing all of them while Nina plays with her caterpillar. Lily walks out, saying that she is going to stay with her mother. Nina falls over as Lily leaves and calls for Edward.[5][2]
Edward prepares for the procedure, saying that despite the risks, it is worth it to make Nina's respirator unnecessary. Edward says that they are transforming her DNA as the procedure begins. However, warnings blare, and Nina starts to suffocate. Her finds web and she grows gills and fins as her skin turns blue. Edward rushes Nina into the sink and turns the water on.

February[]
6th[]
Sam Fitzgibbon puts a coat and hat on G.I. Robot, who gets confused as he does not get cold. Fitzgibbon says that it is a precaution to prevent him from rusting, complimenting G.I. Robot.[9][10]
In Fitzgibbon's car, G.I. Robot asks where they are going. Fitzgibbon claims that he is simply driving to meet with old friends who were interested in a better country, interesting G.I. Robot. Fitzgibbon says that G.I. Robot is a good friend, which G.I. Robot recognizes as being similar to the toast Easy Company said for him. G.I. Robot looks out the window.[9][10]
Fitzgibbon and G.I. Robot reach their destination, where Billy asks about G.I. Robot. Fitzgibbon insists that he will be helpful, and Billy expresses joy to have him. As Fitzgibbon guides G.I. Robot to his seat, the robot becomes weary as multiple members have Nazi dogwhistles tattooed on them. Billy starts the meeting, revealing the Nazi German flag as he declares it to be a meeting of the Hub City National Socialists Club. G.I. Robot realizes that he is surrounded by Nazis. Fitzgibbon asks G.I. Robot to repeat himself.[9][10]
Massacre of the Hub City National Socialists Club: G.I. Robot stands up and aims a gun at Fitzgibbon, shouting at him to prepare to die. He shoots Fitzgibbon through the head and starts firing on the others, causing a panic. G.I. Robot sees members of the club rushing towards the door and turns on them, killing them. Billy tries to take cover, but G.I. Robot finds and shoots him.[9][10]
G.I. Robot is arrested for the massacre and mug shots are taken of him.[9][10]
Parvin Sartorius expresses her dislike of Alex Sartorius working with Rupert Thorne. She insists that there is no good end, but Sartorius insists that he needs the funding to continue his research. He defends the existence of a nuclear fusion treatment to eliminate cancer without risk to the patient, noting that both of them would have alive relatives if it existed. Parvin suggests there is another way.[11][12]
Sartorius is loaded in Thorne's van and driven away. Sartorius jumps out the back of the van, trying to escape. However, he is taken back in by Thorne's men. Thorne spits part of his cigar at Sartorius and says that he is not going anywhere.[11][12]
The group reach Sartorius Labs as Thorne admires the machine Sartorius built. Thorne reveals that he learned that the information being shared with Bialya was falsified as his men find the real numbers. Sartorius explains that Parvin Sartorius was the reason he falsified the data, but Thorne mocks him.[11][12]
Thorne's men take the data and force Sartorius into his machine. Thorne says that Sartorius will be blamed for his own death and that of his family while Sartorius bangs at the door. They activate the machine, heavily irradiating Sartorius and turning him into the monstrous skeleton Doctor Phosphorus. Thorne and his gang leave Sartorius for dead as Sartorius presses his hand to the window.[11][12]
Phosphorus burns through the door to the lab and laughs maniacally as he walks away.[11][12]
Massacre of Rupert Thorne's Gang: A security guard at Rupert Thorne's Mansion reads Meta Sleaze as Phosphorus approaches, yelling for Thorne. The guard asks for his name, but Phosphorus burns his face. Phosphorus burns through the gate and looks through the window as Thorne plays with his family. Phosphorus enters the house and offers to shake hands, burning Thorne and his family alive.[11][12]
Doctor Phosphorus meets with several of Rupert Thorne's former associates, demanding that everything Thorne owned would belong to him. The men agree.[11][12]
Capture of Doctor Phosphorus: Doctor Phosphorus walks into a dance hall with two women and begins dancing with members of his gang. One of his gang members puts on makeup and joins the dance. Cash rains down on Phosphorus, which he throws into the air. However, the festivities are cut short by the appearance of Batman, who brings Phosphorus into custody.[11][12]

↑In The Collywobbles, Rick Flag, Sr. says, "She and I had a son when we were just 18. Fine young man. I joined the military mostly just to make money so I could support him. Eighteen years later, he joined the military because he loved our country and he wanted to make it a better place." With Rick Flag, Jr. on January 31, 1983 (see 1980s references), it can be taken that he applied to join around the time of the due date for the application when he was 18 on January 31, 2001.
↑ 5.05.15.25.3Zoë Chao's age at the time of recording her dialogue for Creature CommandosSeason 1 would suggest that Nina Mazursky was born in December 1985. However, in the next flashback shown in A Very Funny Monster, in which Lily Mazursky leaves Edward Mazursky, the Mazursky family are shown to own a flat screen television, which was not invented until 1997 and was not affordable for American homes until 2005. The Mazursky family are shown to be very well off due to Edward's research, so it can be taken that this scene is set at some point in the middle of these dates to keep Nina's age close to Chao's, placing it on July 2, 2001. In that flashback, Lily says of Nina's respirator, "It weighs as much as she does." Edward says in a later flashback that a larger respirator she is using in that scene weighs thirty pounds, meaning Nina's respirator at the time Lily leaves, and consequently Nina herself, weighs less than thirty pounds. Babies are expected to weigh thirty pounds at approximately three years old, meaning Nina is younger than this. Nina is also walking in this flashback, meaning she is older than 18 months. Nina can be approximated to be at the midpoint of these two ages, making her 27 months old during this scene and placing her birth on April 2, 1999. By the time of Nina's experiment, she has grown up substantially and appears to be approximately five years old. Children are shown to be playing outside, suggesting it should be spring to allow the scene to be earlier given that the experiment was urgent as her new respirator was tiring her. She was born in the spring, so to avoid the scene being on her birthday, it can be taken that this flashback happened on April 9, 2004. In the next flashback, Nina is shown to be of an eligible age to enter a prep school, suggesting she is thirteen. This would place that scene between April 2, 2012 and April 1, 2013, the midpoint of which is October 1, 2012. However, this would place her as starting school during the school year. It can therefore be taken that this occurred the previous June, which can be approximated as June 7, 2012, some time into June when school would still be in session. Nina is then shown playing lacrosse. Lacrosse season in California goes from February-May, so it can be taken that this occurred on the closest Sunday to the midpoint of the 2013 season, March 17, 2013. Nina is captured "three years" after a scene in which a frog is placed in her locker. She appears the same as she does in the present, suggesting her aging has slowed as she grew and is now around eighteen years old. It's warm enough that fish are easy to find, suggesting it is spring or summer. This would place the events surrounding Nina's capture on July 25-26, 2017. Working backwards, that would place Nina running away and the frog scene in July 2014. However, this is over summer break, so it can be moved to the nearest school day, which can be approximated as June 6, 2014. The final flashback, of Nina being bullied into saying "ribbit," can be placed at the closest school day to the midpoint of the flashbacks it is between, the lacrosse scene and the frog scene, placing it on October 25, 2013.
↑In The Tourmaline Necklace, several flashbacks are shown after one labeled "1991" which are disconnected from the rest. One of these flashbacks shows Eric Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein in the New York Stock Exchange Building, which placed in 2017 (see 2010s references). These disconnected flashbacks can therefore be distributed evenly between the 1991 flashback and the New York Stock Exchange flashback.
↑ 9.009.019.029.039.049.059.069.079.089.099.109.11In Cheers to the Tin Man, Justin tells Sam Fitzgibbon, "Oh, it... it bounced around from lab to lab, from the '60s through the '90s. They studied it, and got what they could from it, I guess Uncle Sam just forgot it existed after a while. So, for the last 10 years or so, it's been in the hands of collectors like you," placing the events of G.I. Robot being purchased by Sam Fitzgibbon and killing the members of the Hub City National Socialists Club at some point in the 2000s. The massacre occurs in the winter as evidenced by the snow, placing it between approximately December 1 and March 15 of whichever year it occurred in, the midpoint of which is February 6. Working backwards from there, Fitzgibbon says on the day of the massacre, "It's been hell trying to get that rust outta your joints, you know," suggesting he has had G.I. Robot for some time. This can be approximated to one month, placing Fitzgibbon's purchase of G.I. Robot on January 6. A clock on the wall when Fitzgibbon buys G.I. Robot is at approximately 5:18, and another clock in Fitzgibbon's house when he first brings G.I. Robot home says approximately 4:20, suggesting that Fitzgibbon needed to bring G.I. Robot home on a separate day, which can be approximated to the next day, January 7. These events can be approximated to the midpoint of the 2000s, placing them in 2005. G.I. Robot getting abandoned by the government can therefore be calculated with a weighted calculation based on Justin saying it has been "10 years or so," placing it on February 13, 1990. G.I. Robot's trial would take a substantial amount of time given the severity of the crime, so we can approximate that the closing arguments and jury decision occurred one year following the massacre, placing it on February 6, 2006, with G.I. Robot being brought to Belle Reve Correctional Center the following day.

This means that Phosphorus' experiment occurred between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The midpoint of these two days can be approximated, placing it on March 31, 2008. Throughout Priyatel Skelet, events from before and after the experiment are shown occurring. In the two scenes before, Alex Sartorius' son is shown to be approximately the same age as his death, meaning less than a year has passed. These two flashbacks can therefore be distributed evenly throughout the time between March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, placing Sartorius playing with his son on July 31, 2007 and his argument with Parvin Sartorius on December 1, 2007. In the scene following Rupert Thorne's death, a news reporter says, "Industrialist and reputed crime figure Rupert Thorne was found dead today along with his wife and two children." At the very latest, Thorne's body would be found the morning after, making this scene the following day, April 1, 2008. Approximately one month can be used as the amount of time for Phosphorus to kill all the necessary people and take over Thorne's criminal empire, so those scenes can be distributed throughout the rest of April. Finally, the remaining scenes can be taken to be confined to be within Phosphorus' "fifteen years" line, allowing them to be distributed evenly throughout the rest of 2008.
