They reach an agreement, and Oob leaves. UKR zaps Roger back to where S'lunt and the gang are. He explains everything he learned. Then suddenly UKR is like "duuuude you won't guess what I just realized!"

Apparently UKR decided to look through his files or whatever the hell a higher-dimensional robot does to look something up. He discovered that Roger...specifically...is the long ago 3rd dimensional form of "The Builder"......effectively UKR will now do anything Roger wants at his command.

So Roger tells UKR to do what he wanted in the first place, which was to let everyone out of all the "contaminated slides" a.k.a. time trap back into normal existence. So he does. Like, instantly. Before Roger can even say bye to anyone. Oh yeah, Luke Harwood and Mrs. Withers get married and get sent back to her original timeline together.

Roger is back in his car in the rain from the beginning of the book. He runs out of gas. Sees Q'nell coming...but decides to stay hidden so that he doesn't kill her, since he loves her and all. She speeds past him...then shortly after doubles back and calls out his name. She came back to stay and marry him. Roger is happy, but worried since he doesn't have a job. That's when UKR speaks up in his head again and Roger realizes he basically has an all-knowing all-powerful genie inside his brain now. He knows everything he'll ever want to know about the stock market, etc.

So...they live happily ever after and in all likelihood are ludicrously rich.
