Meanwhile, down in Castle Forrester, Pearl and her minions play a confusing and expensive prank on Mike and the bots using penguin costumes and a non-existent appointment, a prank which the SOL crew fails to fall for twice in one day. The Gumby short has a serious negative effect on Crow and Tom, who try dealing with their pain by creating their own scale model clay based robot massacre. Later, Crow and Tom try to scam a free coffin from American ... Written by Titus Yorick
