Their plan was not thwarted b/c anyone with a brain can tell it's the series finale despite the airdates! The time and setting, the lack of AU evidence or devices, etc. etc. all that stuff! The only reason it aired out of order is b/c Nick has sucked since scheduling since "Parasitica". Brandon Auman said that Nick discourages serialized stories and prefers standalones they can play out of order so it's no wonder they couldn't handle all those multiparters in a row.

And forget about Renet, would you already?! The future is NOT written in stone; "Earth's Last Stand" (even the fact that Casey and April could disappear from time AT ALL as "Tale of the Yokai" shows is a good example too), the final season of "Samurai Jack", etc. help to prove it and Renet is not some authority figure or word of law/God when it comes to time (she's basically a kid afterall for crying out loud!) Move on.
