Russ takes Sneaky-Feet Brian to the Chronovore and has him use his telekinetic abilites to bring them the broken eggshell. Russ tells Banglethwaite to make a container with the same properties as the shell. A day later, Russ picks up the container and feeds Banglethwaite to the Chronovore and causes it to chase him around Bugtown until shifting them both to another dimension where the Chronovore is small enough to be captured by the container Russ has.
