The Toon Council's elected president, Slappy, was saddened by a Yesman that first appeared at the event. Toons, including Flippy, successfully defeated the Cogs and the Director of Ambush Marketing to put an end to Doomsday.
Having felt guilty for the disappearance of Slappy and the Cogs becoming evil instead of pursuing their intended purpose to help Toons across Toontown, Gyro revisited his lab that was transformed into Cog Nation. He eventually invented "The Rewritten Device" that he used to rewrite himself into Doctor Surlee. He used his unstable pocketwatch to activate the time reversal and travel back in time to October 26th of 1998, which caused unforeseen anomalies to occur years afterward.
