I think it'll be unlike other future episodes, though, in that it will present the episode like it's actually happening and is in the present but at the end, one of the time travelers pop up and come back to the present. It would be good if we're just thrown into it as opposed to seeing how (probably) Hiro gets there and stuff...
Like when Peter first met Hiro on the tube in season 1. Thing is for sure it will be a future episode and this brings up a big question.
I dont think next season is going to have a 4 months ago type episode. This is mainly down to the fact that what has happened between Powerless and Butterfly Effect doesnt need to be recounted and told how each character got their. Its an alternate dark reality we are going to be starting the season on, and usually we only need to find out how a character got their when the outcome is good.
This adds to your arguement even more Carp, that we will start off with no telling of how we got their, and probably near the end, one of our time travelling buddies will pop up.
