Yeah it did. Mac worked out Jordan was Wilt's creator; and thanks to Douglas 'n Adams internet access they worked out just where he was; in Japan making a commercial. So that's why the gang flew SUPER SUPER fast to Japan to find Jordan and to their knowledge, Wilt. But that's when they discovered Wilt wasn't there, but they happened to run into Jordan and they explained what was going on with Wilt THEN they flew allll the way back to America in the Private Lear Jet to find Wilt.

I suddenly felt like I was channelling Bloo.

Did they really? I didn't get that part. Shame on me.

....heck, if it were realistic they would have spent the equivalent of a weekend on airplanes alone.

Yeah that's what Bloo was going on about to Jordan.

And that my friends is the power of cartoons!

I just thought of something...when the folks at Foster's are searching Wilt's room for clues of why he left and trying to assess whether or not he actually DID leave, as Bloo said, Mac points out that Wilt's locker is empty, and Bloo notices that Wilt's toothbrush is gone. However, when Wilt arrives at his destination, all he has with him in that little hobo bundle is that basketball. What happened to his stuff that he removed from his room, his personal belongings, if he didn't take them with him? I have to wonder if that was just a contiuation error on the part of the writers and animators, or if it was meant for viewers to get the impression that *I* got, which was that Wilt KNEW he was probably not going to be coming home to Foster's; he KNEW that, win or lose the game, he was going to die. Larry was either going to kill him during one of those slams by trapping him against the wall, or kill him afterwards if Wilt happened to beat HIM at the game. Did he discard his personal effects, perhaps his way of telling the others that he would not be coming back, as if he were "erasing" all traces of him having been there at all?

Yes, I noticed that too! But another thing...How could've Mac opened it in the first place, when in "Squeeze the Day" he couldn't when even he and Bloo were stacked up together?

Wilt could've DIED right then if it wasn't for Jordan saving him. Yay Jordan!

Wilt must have left the locker door ajar when he cleaned out the locker, so it would have been easy to open, even if they could not reach the handle. If he knew he wouldn't be coming back, and he left in a hurry, he would not have bothered closing it.

If I had to venture a guess, he could have pawned all his stuff (Yes even his toothbrush, it might have been a brand new brush fresh out the package) in order to pay for bus and train fare and other travel expenses.

Yeah, that's a very good possibility. Ya never know.
