Whenever he finds himself in an awkward situation, Stilman goes back in time until he can turn the awkward moment into a happy one. Zooming through his moments with Debbie, Stilman visits every moment that could have led to their separation.

When the time machine freezes, however, it’s up to Stilman to get the rest of their relationship right by himself.
