Trivia

 * Although Mr. Hooper, Miles' adoption, Maria and Luis' wedding, and Gabi's birth are all touted as events that occurred before Elmo was born, they in fact occurred long after the character was introduced. Elmo, in fact, can be seen in the clip of Maria and Luis' wedding, yet acts like he isn't even there.
 * Although the timeline sequence includes a clip from one of C-3PO and R2D2's appearances for 1978, their appearances were actually made in season 11.
