Plot

The episode starts with Chef calling the kids. When coming, he does a "birthday party" for Paul of his 100 year time out being finished. Izzy points out how lame the "celebration" is despite how Chef had 100 years to plan it. Chef goes over to Paul, now an elder and tells him his time out is over and then swiftly kicks him out. Paul then has trouble getting used to the modern technology of the world. Some scenes include Trent riding a hoverboard, which Paul claims to be a robot, an escalator which Paul claims to be the floor eating the stairs, and a photo booth which Paul thinks it to be a toilet taking pictures of him. After a long day Paul begins to express fear about how he doesn't know how to survive.

Afterwards we head back to the daycare where Beth shows shock and confusion that Paul got a 100 year time out. Chef then butts in and calls Paul a living legend as the only kid in history to get a 100 year timeout. After Owen, Beth, Izzy, and Chef call Paul the biggest troublemaker ever, Duncan asks what Paul did, to which Chef tells him that he doesn't know, nor does he want to, and then reminds Duncan that there's a Ledger in his office that has the details of each and every timeout, yet he hasn't read as he's heard that every teacher who has read it came down with a case of the Brain Wobbles, and had to be sent to an island (which bares a striking resemblance to Pahkitew Island.) Duncan believes that Paul did nothing that extreme. After Izzy calls Duncan's pranks cute, Duncan decides to find out what Paul did so he can do something worse. Duncan sneaks into Chef's office, cracks the safe only to find another safe inside. After opening a series of safes, Duncan finally finds the ledger and is on the verge of finding out about Paul's heinous act, however it disintegrates and Chef catches Duncan in the act and gives him a 10 minute timeout. While in timeout Duncan decides to ask Paul what he did, and decides to try to find him.

We then switch back to Paul, who after getting attacked by pigeons, begins to fly away into the distance. meanwhile Duncan is on the streets looking for him, getting increasingly jealous when all of a sudden Paul crash lands onto him. Duncan uses this occasion to ask Paul what happened, and promises to do anything to find out, Paul decide to use Duncan to get back inside and decides to teach him how to cause chaos. Duncan reluctantly agrees and Paul says he needs to sneak him into the daycare. Duncan goes along with it and looks for a disguise, he ends up going with a propeller hat, expecting it to make him appear younger.

They then travel back to the daycare where Chef is reading a story and asks Duncan where he's been and who he's with. Duncan calls him the new student Napoleon, Chef tells the student that he looks old to which Paul responds by asking if an old person would wear a propeller hat to which Chef agrees with. in the castle Duncan asks Paul to tell him the prank he pulled. Paul says it isn't time yet and starts teaching Duncan. They start with the Exploding Bowl Troll (which blasting someone in the air in a bathroom), then the Plummeting Pail of Porcupine (which is putting buckets full of porcupines on the door), followed by the Snake Snack Attack (which is having someone being trapped inside a snake). After that Paul is finally ready to teach Duncan the big prank, the Ding-Dong Dash. The thing that makes it epic is it consists of doing it repeatedly and it made people question reality. Duncan is unimpressed because he's been pulling that prank when he was a baby and decides to modernize it. He plans to drill holes around the perimeter to place military rockets into said holes, bring a truckload of fireworks for Chef's car, and then deliver a cake. Paul in the first confessional thinks that the prank will earn a timeout to end all timeouts and overhears Duncan in the second confessional about planning to overthrow him. Surprisingly, the plan goes off without a hitch and Chef declares that whoever did this gets a 200 year timeout. Duncan happily goes to Chef and is about to overthrow Paul when all of a sudden, Paul says he pulled the prank and reveals to Chef his true identity and is sent back to the timeout corner. Duncan is super upset as all his work was for nothing and begins to cry after the kids call Paul more of a legend, and think that no one will top a 200 year time out and Chef called him a good boy, and on that note the episode ends.
