Storyline - Layer Triggers when Clicks Continue (on correct or incorrect layers)

Is there a way to jump to the next slide without first hiding a layer while still forcing the user to see the base layer when they return to a slide (and not resetting the slide to it's initial state)?

It is confusing to the user when they click the continue button on a correct or incorrect layer and it flashes the base layer, then jumps to the next slide (looking like they skipped over something, or double clicked).

I also cannot set the slide to resume the saved state because I have a variable that changes when the correct layer timeline begins-and I can't have that. (If I set resume saved state, the variable will change again upon revisiting because it acts like that layer is starting again.)
