Disappearance
He was left behind on the American Civil War field trip. Although a joke was made of Üter's disappearance in a later episode, with his parents asking Skinner where their missing son was, he has since reappeared, although in 24 Minutes he is seen stuck in a cobweb in the school airvents.
