The episode begins with Josie Trent, a new student at Blake Holsey High, arriving at the school. She is quickly introduced to the other main characters: Vaughn Pearson, Marshall Wheeler, and Corrine Baxter. Josie and the others are invited to attend a meeting of the school's science club, which is run by their eccentric science teacher, Professor Z. The topic of the meeting is wormholes, and Professor Z demonstrates a small model of a wormhole to the students.
As the meeting continues, strange things begin to happen. First, Josie notices that her watch has stopped working. Then, the model wormhole begins to grow and expand, until it becomes a full-sized wormhole in the middle of the classroom. The students are sucked into the wormhole and find themselves in a strange, alternate version of the school.
In this alternate universe, everything seems slightly off. The students encounter their counterparts from this world, who are slightly different versions of themselves. Josie's alternate universe counterpart is mean and aggressive, Corrine's is a cheerleader, Vaughn's is a computer nerd, and Marshall's is a jock. While exploring this strange world, the students encounter a group of scientists who are working on a device that can manipulate reality.

Josie starts seeing visions of her father, who disappeared several years ago, while Vaughn begins to hear strange sounds coming from his computer. Meanwhile, Marshall and Corrine find themselves in dangerous situations as they explore the alternate universe.
As the episode progresses, the students begin to realize that they are stuck in the alternate universe and that they need to find a way back to their own world. With the help of the scientists they encountered, they work to create a portal back to their own universe. However, things get complicated when they encounter their alternate universe counterparts, who are intent on stopping them from leaving.
As the episode comes to a close, the students are able to successfully create a portal back to their own universe. However, Josie is still plagued by visions of her father and the students are left wondering what other strange occurrences await them at Blake Holsey High.
