The Butterscotch Effect" is the sixth episode of Season 1 and sixth episode overall of Best Friends Whenever. It aired on August 16, 2015 to 1.67 million viewers.
Overview
Cyd and Shelby go back to change the past so that Barry can meet his childhood science hero. However, when they return, they realize Barry and Naldo have changed as well and are now terrible rock musicians instead of aspiring scientists.
Episode Summary
The main story involves the death of Dr. Julius Fleming – the famous science who was not only Barry’s hero but whom Barry never got to meet when he appeared at the “high school.” Barry terms his death as a scientist as unnatural – he should have been shot down with radiation on the beach surrounded by an army, tanks and a foxy TV reporter.
While Barry warns them of the butterfly effect, the time traveling duo heads back in time to allow Barry in to see Dr Fleming. They still fail and, naturally, the butterfly effect takes place: Barry, Naldo and the pizza delivery guy are in a punk band, Heart Rocket. Shelby and Cyd go back in time once more to try to correct the error and realize that when Cyd tosses her butterscotch pudding and misses, Naldo picks it up and heads off, never meeting Barry. As a result, Barry becomes a nerd with a fake British accent. Having never learned the meaning of friendship, Barry gets revenge of everyone by rigging an army of robots to terrorize school. After asking Naldo about what caused this, Cyd and Shelby learn exactly what happened and go back in time. Cyd picks up her butterscotch pudding before Naldo sees it, successfully allowing him to meet Barry. Meanwhile, Bret and Chet try to get their father to play with them just like when they were kids. After Norm becomes too tired to play, the twins organize a spa with a sea weed massage to help him relax.
