Peter - S2-E16

Trivia: The story is set mainly in 1985. During a scene in the other universe, the observers are outside of a cinema which is showing Back to the Future - with Eric Stoltz as the star rather than Michael J Fox. Stoltz was originally hired to play Marty, but was fired after filming started and Fox was brought in to play the role of Marty.
