It's like Season 3 is happening during or before Season 1(when it airs). Nothing happened, dunno why you guys are so mad, I think it's pretty cool and interesting.

The entire show hasn't been reset, the events up until The Finale have still happened and everybody remembers everything. The reset button has just made it so the Wattersons don't have any consequences for their actions.
