Bree to Adam and Chase


"Back From the Future" is the 11th episode in Season 1 of Lab Rats. It first aired on June 21, 2012. It features the only appearance of Future Leo.

Plot[]

21 year old future Leo travels back in time from 7 years (2019) in the future to tell the Davenports that Adam, Bree, and Chase won't make it to the future and that the only way to stop this is to not let them go on the collider mission. Adam, Bree and Chase go anyway since the fate of the world is in their hands. Leo goes after them and saves their life by pushing them aside when the room collapses. Donald punished Leo for disobeying him. Leo misses his date with Janelle, and Future Leo ends up with a dog instead of Janelle.

Trivia[]

  • Donald gains a lot of weight in the 7 years after Adam, Bree and Chase get crushed by the rubble.
  • Future Leo is played by Tyler James Williams, who is the real-life brother of Tyrel Jackson Williams.
  • The events in this episode were discussed twice in Bionic Rebellion. Except the second time, with just Leo, Leo made it seem way more dramatic.

Cultural References[]

  • The title is a reference to the 1980s film franchise, Back to the Future.

Goofs[]

  • Future Leo claims that Janelle gave him the pink tie shown in the picture of the two of them, but when the dog replaces Janelle in the picture, he is still wearing the pink tie.
  • When Current Leo explains to Janelle, he most likely revealed that Adam, Bree, and Chase have bionics to Janelle. Janelle however, did not believe him.
    • However it could be possible Leo told her the story because he knows she won't believe it.
  • When Donald says "backup," Chase is standing by him, but when the scene changes to another camera, Chase is leaning with his elbow on the counter.
  • When Future Donald was on the holophone, he was in the old lab but in Mission: Mission Creek High they get a new lab.
    • However, this may be due to the fact that saving the Lab Rats completely changed the timeline, because in the original timeline, their deaths would have prevented Douglas from kidnapping them, and by extension, his subsequent act of destroying the lab.
  • If you look closely at the top of some of the scenes where Adam, Bree, and Chase are arguing, you can see some of the producers of the film.
