Mystery Puzzle SPOILER #9

Warning!  This post contains spoilers to a mystery puzzle.

This week's puzzle is "Time's Up!" with a story by Al Carusone and produced by BePuzzled in 1996.  It's a 250 piece puzzle.

The story follows a kid who is trapped in a time loop and need to escape before he runs into himself.


[Marty and Doc notice the cops taking an unconscious Jennifer away]
Doc: They're taking her home, to your future home! We'll arrive shortly thereafter, get her out of there, and go back to 1985.
Marty: You mean, I'm gonna see where I live? I'm gonna see myself as an old man?
Doc: No, no, no, Marty. That could result in a [gasps] Great Scott! Jennifer could conceivably encounter her future self! The consequences of that could be disastrous!
Marty: Doc, what do you mean?
Doc: I foresee two possibilities. 1: coming face to face with herself 30 years older would put her into shock and she'd simply pass out. Or 2: the encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the spacetime continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might, in fact, be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.
Marty: Well, that's a relief.

This is the first Spider Tales puzzle that I actually found the bonus hidden spider!
