In Season 2, Episode 7 of Arcane, titled ‘Pretend Like It’s the First Time,’ Heimerdinger faces a dramatic turning point. Due to a glitch in Hextech, Heimerdinger and Ekko ended up in a parallel universe where Hextech was not invented. Heimerdinger enjoyed his time in the alternate Zaun as it was peaceful and in a healthy state. He met and communicated with the citizens of that place and invented things for them.


At first, Heimerdinger tries to convince Ekko to spend their life in this universe. But after Ekko requests him, he decides to help him develop the device to return to their universe. He along with Ekko and the alternate universe’s Jinx were able to make a small and unstable device. Heimerdinger continues his research on the device and creates a version that will help them return.


As they prepare to leave and Ekko enters the machine, Heimerdinger reveals that it was his plan to return with Ekko, as someone is needed to operate the machine. As Heimerdinger connects the power cable, the machine activates, but the activation causes him to vanish. Before sacrificing himself, he confesses to Ekko that since he met him he has truly lived.
