Plot Synopsis[]

Wheeler rides in the Tunnel of Love with Linka and falls asleep. As soon as he wakes up, he finds himself as a middle-aged man, and married to Linka! The other Planeteers have also grown into middle-aged citizens. Wheeler also finds out that other things have drastically changed: he has eight children and one on the way, some of the eco-villains are salespeople, Gaia has become a moody old woman, and Captain Planet seems to no longer care about the Earth. In short, this is not the kind of future life Wheeler was expecting.

Episode Summary[]

None yet.

Planeteer Alerts[]
