Gumball comments on how he can feel it echo through time by imagining himself remembering the awkwardness of that event and crumpling at his marriage to Penny in the future, the birth of his first child, and even his death. As Gumball speaks like a father figure model and gives Hot Dog Guy "the talk," they suddenly cringe so hard that their faces crumple like paper. Their last attempt at settling the awkwardness is when Gumball pretends that he is Hot Dog Guy's new father, much to the latter's horror.
