   Summary

   Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.

   Or,

   It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.

   I'm sure it will all be fine.
