Spiked Gum

[chemistx2]

So, why did Nelson fall asleep so conveniently just before his mission assignment? Did the Moon Man spike his bowl of bubble gum? Or did he always fall asleep at the same time every day, giving the Moon Man the clue on when to visit? Follow up!!

Dude, the pilot is chock full of supernatural. Call it a hunch, but I don't think you are going to find such a milquetoast answer to that question.

It's possible none of it was supernatural, and is explained as a dream/hallucination/computer simulation, a la Professor Layton.
