Following the adventures of a young boy named Timmy Turner and his two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, this episode sees the arrival of Timmy's long-lost brother, Tommy, much to everyone's surprise.
As the episode begins, Timmy is lamenting the fact that he's an only child. However, his wish for a sibling is unexpectedly granted when he discovers that he actually has an older brother he never knew about. Tommy is everything Timmy isn't - he's handsome, popular, and great at sports. At first, Timmy is thrilled to have a sibling, but he quickly realizes that Tommy is using his charms to get everything he wants, while Timmy is left in the dust.
The two brothers soon begin to clash as Timmy becomes jealous of Tommy's seemingly perfect life. Things come to a head when Timmy wishes for a magic stopwatch that can pause time, which he uses to exact revenge on Tommy by making him look foolish in front of his friends. However, things quickly spiral out of control as Timmy accidentally stops time for his entire town, leaving him with a huge mess to clean up.
Meanwhile, Cosmo and Wanda have their own problems to deal with. When Timmy's dad asks them to help him with a crossword puzzle, they accidentally switch his brain with that of a hamster. Chaos ensues as Dad starts acting like a rodent, much to Timmy's horror.
The episode is full of classic Fairly Oddparents humor and heart. As Timmy and Tommy learn to work together, they discover that they have more in common than they thought. Meanwhile, Cosmo and Wanda must figure out how to switch Dad back before it's too late. With plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments, Oh, Brother / What's the Difference? is a must-see episode for fans of the series.
