Ep 5. Father Time / Apartnership

Timmy Turner is a ten-year-old boy who lives in the fictional town of Dimmsdale. He has two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda who grant him wishes. In this episode, Timmy wishes to have the perfect father-son relationship with his dad, but things go awry when the wish turns his dad into a toddler. Timmy has to figure out how to reverse the wish before it's too late.

Meanwhile, Cosmo and Wanda's boss, Jorgen Von Strangle, is upset that they are spending too much time with Timmy and not enough time fulfilling their fairy duties. He creates a new rule that forbids them from granting any more wishes for Timmy. But Timmy comes up with a plan to convince Jorgen to change his mind and allow Cosmo and Wanda to continue granting his wishes.

The second half of the episode, "Apartnership," follows Timmy as he tries to navigate a group project with his classmate, A.J. A.J. is a genius who likes to work alone, while Timmy is more of a team player. They have trouble agreeing on how to complete the project, and their argument results in them becoming "apartners" instead of "partners."

Timmy then wishes for their project to be finished without any help from either of them. But when their project comes to life and starts wreaking havoc around town, Timmy has to find a way to stop it before it causes any more damage.
