Barchie leaves and walks up Memory Lane and discovers what it would be like if he was married to Terri and Sherri before checking out a future where a dog would be the president. Barchie is then chased away from the road by Bender as he had looked too far into the future. It is time for the music competition, Springdale Battle of the Bands. All music artists are good and they realize that they can lose the contest, but Barchie decides to sabotage the others so only the Bartchies are the only ones who can make a contribution and will automatically be the winners.

The owner's daughter, Sherronica, persuades them not to tear it down, but the driver misunderstands and begins to tear it down. Barchie run to the building to save it and destroy the stone crusher. He becomes a superhero and saves the building. It turns out that his sister, Librina, had studied witchcraft and turned him into a superhero. Sherri and Terri began to cheer on Barchie and it turns out that they both have a date with Barchie on Friday and they start beating him down. They succeed because the transformation that gave him superhero powers was only temporary. Comic Book Guy wakes up at night and the fortune teller had gone home. He realizes that it was a dream, but after Jimbo gives him a wedgie he wonders if it really is to be the future.
