First broadcast 1992-April-23. "Zeta contacts the time police and asks them to come over to her dome quickly. Kappatoo’s Masterclass computer watches the events from his dome and realises that he and Simon are in serious trouble. Back at Zeta’s dome, a time police officer arrives, and Zeta informs him that Kappatoo is here with them and thus the Kappatoo on Ultramatch is really his time twin, Simon Cashmere. The officer advises Zeta that he will take Kappatoo back to his dome and arrest Simon when he comes back off Ultramatch; the officer then beams Kappatoo back to his dome. Once there, the officer suddenly changes into Kappatoo’s computer and is advised that it was all a trick. Two time police officers arrive at Zeta’s dome, and at first, she thinks they are following up on the original officer’s case; when it becomes apparent that no other officers have been sent, she demands they all beam over to Kappatoo’s dome. The officers are hesitant, but obey. Luckily, Kappatoo has just beamed back to Simon's time to fill in for him, seconds before the officers, Zeta and Sigmasix arrive. After Kappatoo cannot be found anywhere in the dome, Zeta is forced to apologise for the intrusion to Kappatoo’s computer and everybody departs. Back at Zeta’s dome, she brushes the whole thing off as a minor setback and after her computer checks the histogram files and locates Kappatoo, she informs Sigmasix he is going back to Simon's time with her computer to bring Kappatoo home. She gives Sigmasix a special wrist band so he can contact her, as well as a time pad and a set of coordinates to send him to once he is captured, and he and the computer travel back to Simon's time.

Kappatoo arrives back in Simon's time and can offer no explanation as to where he has been. Later, when he and Steve are in the caravan, he tells Steve he is not Simon but Kappatoo, and Steve believes him, since his memory freeze appears to be failing as well. The next day, Kappatoo has trouble milking a cow and uses his wrist band to make it talk, but cannot stop it. The two of them also go fishing and Kappatoo again uses his wrist band to make this fish shout at them out of the water. Kappatoo is then caught by Sigmasix and Zeta’s computer, and taken to a nearby barn to be sent him back to his time.

Simon beams back from Ultramatch, expecting to find Kappatoo waiting for him, but the computer fills him in on what happened and that unfortunately, as Kappatoo has the time-belt, he is stuck there for the time being. Both he and Kappatoo’s computer watch the histogram and see Sigmasix and Zeta’s computer travel back to Simon's time and attempt to capture Kappatoo.

Sigmasix and Zeta's computer find Kappatoo and, after a brief struggle, places him on the time pad and sets it to transport him to the coordinates Zeta gave him in 100 seconds. However, Steve shows up and allows Kappatoo to slow time down, and a fight between the four of them occurs. While they are fighting, Lucy comes into the barn where they are looking for a Frisbee that she threw, and just as the timer runs out on the time pad, she steps on it, transporting herself to Zeta’s café in Kappatoo’s time in front of Simon, the time police and Zeta." - Wikipedia.
