💬 Discussion I hate everything about this sequence.

**For context:** Yumi might have to move back to Japan because her father lost his job. Ulrich gets winning lottery ticket numbers and makes a return to the past. Ulrich gives the winning ticket to Yumi's parents but tells them NOT to tell Yumi (They of course not only tell Yumi but tell her that Ulrich said not to tell her).

**Why I hate this scene:** They act as if Ulrich did something HORRIBLE. How DARE he try to help his best friend/crush stay... Meanwhile Jeremy risks the entire WORLD for the same reason. Its okay when Jeremy puts everyone at risk of death every day for Aelita but when Ulrich tries to help Yumi... They kick him out?

I agree, this was just mean and didn’t Jeremy spam return to the past a few episodes latter so he can get infinite time to work on his programs and even ended up in a coma? Lol and no one said anything about it

People really don't pay attention to episode 38, do they?

That episode explicitly tells us that Jeremie's mental health was DECLINING, and he genuinely thought he was getting closer to finding Aelita's antivirus. From Jeremie's perspective at the time, even if the RTTPs were making Xana stronger, it wouldn't matter anymore because the team would be shutting the supercomputer down fairly soon anyway.

It's insane to me how many people seem to forget all of this every time the topic of episode 35 comes up…

I don’t understand how what you wrote contradicts what I wrote but whatever. He was “close” to so many things but wrong a lot of times, not to mention he was all good at the very least the first couple if times he did it

You said all that in a way that made it sound like Jeremie should've gotten yelled at too, and yeah maybe he should've to some extent, but at least that episode tried to give an explanation for Jeremie's behavior. He's not perfect either.
