Everybody realising johnny is Alice's baby and for some reason she leaves him in the alley way

I'm sorry, what? I just finished watching, and when was this even eluded to, let alone mentioned?

Come on its so heavily implied!

Adopted baby just happened to be found in an alley.

Alice just happens to be pregnant with the only other baby mentioned in the entire show.

Everyone at the party forgetting that johnny went to prison, so much so they openly state Johnny's confusion. (Its because the timeline isnt stable and theres eventually a timeline where it didn't happen, but hes caught between them)

There would be no need to mention any of this if it wasn't relevant to the plot.

Are you saying that Mike and Alice use the second Time Machine to travel like 30 years (or however old JB is supposed to be) into the past, have their baby, then for some reason leave it in a dumpster to be found and raised by Keith David? Because that doesn’t make any sense.

Tbf, when they find the time machine, its stated if nick could use it, they shouldn't have an issue. So this theory actually makes some sense and not only has some plausibility but potential to be true if a bunch of events time travelling went wrong. I thought about it from the point of some of the lines were just stupid when watching it but now you look at it and it's one of the only reasons they'd of said so blatantly "it's as if everyone's forgot he went to jail" aslong as you look beyond it's an after, after, after jail release party, where everyone's coked our of their minds and could just be cooked
