Well, after completing a certain episode, it would've been the end. However, while returning to the present, the door on Sly's side of the van suddenly breaks off and Sly is blown out. He lands on the same year the Fiendish Five kill his dad, but the day before it occures. Sly has his head slammed against the brick wall of a building, causing amnesia.

After waking up, he is found by his mom, but he doesn't remember her. She takes him to his childhood home, where he meets his (currently) forgotten father and, unknowingly, his younger self. Sly helps his dad pull a few small heists. An hour before his parents' death, Sly remembers everything thanks to his dad.

Sly tries to convince his dad to have the family escape the house before the Fiendish Five arrive. He even starts to cry after stating that he and mom will die. But Sly's dad told him that if he did that, Sly wouldn't be the great thief he is in the future. He tells his son to remain strong at heart and that he is proud of him. With a final "I love you", Sly's dad hides the young Sly in the closet with the cane just before the Fiendish Five arrive. The present Sly watchs through the window, silently letting streams of tears go down his face. When it was over and the Thievious Raccoonus is stolen, the present Sly couldn't look at his father's corpse and so ran away.

He spots the team van in an alley. Murray, Bentley, and Carmelita come out, relieved to see him okay, though he wasn't. When they ask what happened, Bentley looks at the current year and understands. Sly just stands in front of the team, tears beginning to flow again. Murray hugs his friend, hoping to make him feel better. Despite being squeezed, Sly accepts and actually squeezes harder with distress and sadness. Soon, he is sobbing. Carmelita manages to calm him a bit in her own embrace, sayingf it will be all right. Sly thanks his team with a small smile and his tears stop. They then depart for their time with smiles.

'''I know. It's a little long actually. But I like it.'''
