The Domino Effect/Taking Charge

1
Hey, batter, batter, batter, batter.
Ah, whiffed it. Sprig!
- Wanna go again?
- Yeah-uh!
Wait, you have hair?
Hey, sorry about your hat.
Oh, there it is.
Hey, you found
Shh. Do you hear something?
Something's in trouble.
Oh, my gosh! We have to save her.
Right behind ya.
Gotcha!
Oop, gotta go.
Take that, buzz brains!
Go sting someone your own size!
- Let's go!
- Sprig out! Peace!
You're safe now, little fella.
What's wrong? Are you stung?
We'll have to amputate.
No. This caterpillar looks exactly
like my cat Domino from back home.
I love my cat
more than anything in the world.
She was irreplaceable.
But now I found a replacement.
Let's take her home with us!
Eh, I don't know, Anne.
That's a wild animal.
I'm not sure bringing it
home is a good idea.
Pshh. That's ridiculous.
My cat back home was a stray
before I adopted her.
All it takes is love and patience
and love.
You said "love" twice.
Sold!
It's settled.
I hereby dub thee "Domino 2."
Come on, girl. Let's go home.
- Uh, is it broken?
- Hold up. I got an idea.
This worked on Domino 1 without fail.
That's it girl. You can do it. Come on.
I want it. Give it to me.
Hey, Hop Pop, old buddy, old pal.
- What do you want, Anne?
- Oh, nothing.
I was just thinking.
Doesn't this house feel empty to you?
Not especially.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a sweet,
fuzzy, loving critter around?
- A pet?
- Great idea, Hop Pop.
No pets!
Every time we get one,
Sprig and Polly swear
they're gonna take care of it!
Like this one spider we had,
Charlie Big Bottom.
I mean, sure, they were there
for all the cuddlin' and the snugglin',
but who gets stuck doin' all the work?
Good ol' Hop Pop, that's who!
I swear to Frog, whoever brings
a fuzzy critter into this house
will be on dung duty for a month!
I told Charlie Big Bottom
to stay out of the
Plan B. We're gonna have to sneak
Domino 2 inside.
Should we be concerned about this?
That is called "play biting."
Isn't it cute?
Yeah, kinda seems like she's tasting me.
That's ridiculous.
Trust me. I know cats.
Well, all right, if you say so.
And how many times
did I tell Charlie Big Bottom
not to go up the chimney?
And that little spider'd look at me
with those big green eyes
like he understood me.
Two minutes later,
where do I find him?
Up the chimney!
What's that?
Uh, hey, Hop Pop,
what's the worst thing
Charlie Big Bottom ever did,
since we're talking about
Charlie Big Bottom?
Heh! How can I even choose?
Jumping out in front of Bessie
and over turning the wagon.
Getting tarantula hair everywhere.
Then there was the time
she put a hole in the roof.
- Where'd that happen again?
- You blind?
- The big hole right there.
- I don't see it.
Right It's right there!
Anne, you awake? Anne?
Anne! Anne!
Anne? Anne?
Anne. Anne!
Anne!
Hey, wake up, wake up!
What happened? Are you okay?
Hmm? Yeah, totally.
Domino 2 just had a bit
of a rough first night indoors.
Eesh.
Hop Pop is definitely
gonna notice something.
Oh, this is nothing.
We just have to keep an eye
on her while she's adjusting.
Isn't that right, Domino 2?
That's just how she says
"I love you."
Hmm. Oh, forgot the mustard.
Whew! Hope there isn't
a Domino 3.
It's all worth it when you get to watch
your adorable little boo take a nap.
I gotta admit, she's pretty darn cute.
Welcome, brother, to the church of cute.
This a cult thing?
Whoa. Looks like Domino 2
isn't the only thing purring.
Come on. Let's go grab some grub.
Ooh, I love grubs.
Sleep tight, my precious baby angel.
Whoa, whoa there! Hungry much?
We've been running
around all day. We're starving.
"Runnin' around"? Doin' what?
- Oh, nothing.
- I mean, who can say really.
What was that?
Mmm, basement ghost?
Don't be ridiculous. Basement ghosts
don't sound anything like that.
What the heck is that?
Domino 2, where are you? Baby precious!
Wait. "Baby precious"?
That's a pet name, for a pet!
- You sneak a pet in here?
- No.
Okay, we did!
What'd I tell you about pets?
Uh, I'm sorry.
It's just that the caterpillar looked
just like Anne's pet from back home.
It was small, cute. It was
black with white spots and it
Wait. A black caterpillar
with white spots?
Yes. Sensing something is wrong.
That's a Coastal Kill-a-pillar!
They're dangerous amphibivores,
and they only get white spots
right before they're about to
Domino 2, is that you?
Shh. These monsters respond to sound.
Let's back away slowly and quietly.
Hey, family! What's happening in here?
- Run, kids!
- I don't wanna die in a basement!
Domino 2? It's me, Anne.
We bonded. I gave you treats.
You gave me dead things.
Don't you remember?
No, wait! Come back!
Get outta here!
Guys!
I would like
to get off the ride now!
Oh! She's gonna bite their heads off
as soon as she's done toying with them.
Toying with them. Wait a second.
Hey, Domino 2! Over here!
Oh, crud.
Oh, Domino 2,
I thought I could change you.
But I guess I was wrong.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it work.
It's time to go.
Sayonara, Domino 2.
And look who's cleaning up after the pet!
Hop Pop, that's who!
- Hey.
- Anne, you're okay!
Tell me that thing is gone!
Yeah, it's gone.
I'm so sorry, you guys.
I had no right to put you all in danger,
no matter how much I miss my cat.
I hope you understand.
Understand?
Understand!
I miss Charlie Big Bottom
with all my heart and soul!
Uh, can we please fix
the giant hole in the house?
Well, just goes to show ya.
You can't take some wild animal
you found in the woods,
have it live in your basement,
and think everything's gonna be okay.
I don't know. Sometimes it works out.
Ohhh! You're talking about me, right?
Hey, um, made you a little something.
I used Domino 2's hair balls as the fur.
Here ya go.
You hate it, don't ya?
It's too ugly, isn't it?
- You know what, give it back to me
- I love it!
Higher!
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! Look!
What are we looking at here?
Suspicion Island.
It's, like, my favorite show.
I've got the new season
and didn't even know it.
It must have auto-downloaded
before I got here.
Who's this Otto?
And how did you download him?
Just watch.
Previously on
Suspicion Island.
I've got a lot of feelings
about this place.
Look! More Annes!
Ha ha! They have noses.
I feel like everyone on this island
is suspicious, Peruvia, except you!
But, Randy, I think you're suspicious!
No!
Suspicion Island.
If you don't stay suspicious,
you won't stay alive.
What is this demonic nonsense?
Hop Pop, this show's got beautiful people
doing dumb things while stuff explodes!
It's literally perfect.
- Awesome!
- Let's do it!
Now, hold on.
Instead of that garbage, how about
I treat you to some real entertainment?
- Oh, no.
- Oh, no.
A scene from The Shallow Pond.
Sadness. The world is sadness.
But look. There. A pond!
Is it deep or shallow?
Suspicion Island!
- Suspicion Island!
- Okay! Fine!
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
But just one.
It can't be, Vivica. These pterodactyls
are clones of my dead brother!
No way!
No!
Will these beautiful teens
ever make it off the island?
Find out next time on
And that's enough for tonight.
- Aw, come on!
- This is torture!
Trust me, guys.
You gotta pace yourself with this stuff.
All right, you two grubs. Off to bed.
How am I supposed to sleep without knowing
what happened to Vivica and Chad?
Stupid sleep!
I wanna watch it right now!
So? What do you think, Hop Pop?
Better than that boring stuff
you read to us, right?
That "boring stuff"
is called literature, Anne.
And maybe, if you had an ounce of culture,
you wouldn't reject it
in favor of your substandard,
puerile garbage show!
Sheesh! Tell me how you really feel.
Nup, nup, nup.
Last week on
Suspicion Island.
Come on, guys!
It's time to get suspicious.
Wait, what?
- What's wrong, Anne?
- What's all the ruckus?
- Why you screaming?
- My battery is low.
But it was fine last night
when I turned it off.
Huh? "Watched"?
Who watched all these episodes
and used up all the
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
- It's gone.
- What's gone?
Everything. My pictures, my texts.
Videos of my cat!
Now all my memories from home are gone!
- Um, there, there?
- No!
- Was it you?
- What? No!
I didn't watch anything.
- It must have been Polly.
- What?
I even heard her get up in the night.
Very suspicious.
I needed to pee!
Plus, if you heard me, you were awake too.
You're the suspicious one!
Don't change the subject.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What about Hop Pop?
Heh! Me?
In case you forgot,
I despise that garbage.
Exactly!
Maybe you ran down the phone so we'd
have to listen to your boring play!
- Oh, that's good.
- That is preposterous!
Enough!
If none of you are going to admit to it,
the least you could do
is help me fix my phone.
Fair enough, Anne.
How do we bring this thing back to life?
Magic? Live sacrifice?
I know a guy in town
We need power. Electricity.
What? Huh?
You know, zap zap?
"Zap zap"?
Oh, I think I know
what you're talking about.
Quickly! To my study!
I've heard talk of a creature
called the zapapede
that lives deep in the Misty Peaks.
It zaps its prey
with a small spark of lightning.
Yeah, it's pretty cool, actually.
Sounds like it's worth a shot.
So, how far away is this bug, HP?
Don't call me HP.
It's half a day's travel, but
that should be no trouble for this gang.
Oh, yeah? Well, that's
just what Chad Vanderblad said.
Right before he was stabbed in the back
by a backstabber on Suspicion Island!
Watch where you're pointing that finger!
I would never stab Chad in the back,
but one of you two would.
Hey! Every time you point,
two fingers point back!
That doesn't make any sense!
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You're all suspicious. Just look at you.
Now, come on. Let's get going.
The sooner we move, the sooner
I get my memories back.
Quiet, boy. Look! There's one now!
A zapapede!
Oh, looks pretty cute.
Step lightly, everyone.
This thing doesn't look like
it can take much weight.
Sup, HP?
Sprig sure looks tired, doesn't he?
Awfully suspicious. And don't call me HP.
The old man's a lying snake,
but he does have a point.
You guys talkin' scum?
What? No, no. No, no, no.
Psst, Anne.
Excuse me, HP.
I want to find out who's guilty
just as much as you do.
Let me help you.
Oh, no, you don't!
You were trying to
Chad her into trusting you!
And you're trying
to Vivica her into not trusting me!
Oh, and look at Hop Pop
trying to Randy his way out of this.
I don't even know what that means!
Guys, cut it out. You're gonna
Rope bridge? More like nope bridge.
Look! Down there!
More zapapedes!
They're pretty far down.
Let's just link arms
and lower someone down,
just like the teens did in episode eight.
Ha! So that Polly can drop us
to cover her tracks,
just like Vivica did
in the very same episode?
You callin' me a Vivica?
Maybe
Kids, no! Stop fighting!
Hey, cut it out, you guys.
Seriously. Ow!
Oh, sorry, Anne. You okay?
Kids, no! Stop fighting!
Eh, no. Oh. No.
I It was me!
Say what?
- You mean
- That's right, Anne.
I watched all the episodes.
Every single one!
But you hated Suspicion Island.
Hated it?
Hated it?
I loved it!
Ever since the end
of that last episode,
I-I couldn't sleep.
I fell in love with those crazy kids
on their crazy island.
I couldn't get enough!
I did the only thing I could.
I snuck out to the living room
to watch another episode.
I vowed only to watch one,
but Suspicion Island had its hooks in me!
And before I realized what had happened,
I'd finished the season!
With dawn approaching,
I covered my tracks and made my escape.
Come on, guys!
It's time to get suspicious.
- Unbelievable.
- What a twist!
But now I'm gonna make things right.
I will redeem myself!
Hop Pop!
I'm okay!
You know, it's actually kinda relaxing!
He can't last much longer!
We have to work together!
Almost. Nearly there.
Got him! Oh, wait a second.
Holy smokes. That's a lot of percents.
So, you love Suspicion Island, huh?
Yeah
And I'm sorry I lied
and drained your memory box.
Can you ever forgive this old, silly frog?
Dude, you just risked your life
to recharge my phone.
I think we're square.
Really glad I didn't push you
off a cliff like I was planning.
Me too, Polly. Me too.
All right, enough fiddle-faddling.
We gotta get home so you guys
can finish the season.
If I don't talk to someone about it soon,
I'm gonna explode!
I mean, that part where the island itself
is revealed to actually be
- No!
- Oh, come on!
Dude, spoilers!
