Episode Description: Max and Molly are shocked to discover their school has mysteriously time-warped back to 1970—and so has Aunt Murgatroyd, who’s now a teenager again. As they navigate outdated vending machines, retro slang, and payphones, they realize something more sinister may be at play. For one thing, there is a rocket emergency in outer space – while closer to home, the POGs seem to be targeting a young Aunt M – and Charlene may be helping them!
