[low, ominous music playing]

[whirring]

[chuckling]

[humming]

[laughs]

[laughs]

You've still got it, Cthonk.

[beeping]

And... stop.

[laughs]

- [clone whimpers] - No.

Ugh, rats.

- [alarm ringing] - [gasps]

[humming]

[chuckles] Oh, what's this? Gala?

I do love a party.

- [clattering] - Oh.

Hmm.

[gasps]

Greetings, Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak.

I am honored to invite you both to the Deep Cuts magazine's

multiversally-renowned gala...

- [both squeal] - ...an annual event honoring the brightest minds

in scientific advancement.

Our first invite to the Deep Cuts Gala, or any gala.

Or anything. [chuckles]

Klak, we're finally part of an exclusive group.

Only the most daring scientists, the most notable artists,

and people whose parents are rich get invited to this.

And it's at the Botanigalactic Gardens.

They aren't even open to the public. I've submitted many requests.

I wonder if Robo-Yaba will be there.

[Klak and Sleech squealing]

[robotic voice] Trash incineration initiated.

[hologram] So this is how it ends, old chap.

[sighs]

[groans]

? ?

- [upbeat music playing] - [squeaking]

You know, this will be my-

Tenth consecutive year attending the Deep Cuts Gala.

We get it.

Oh, the gala is the perfect opportunity

to show off my new hospital plans.

Ah, time to get ready.

I have an appointment for a leg-sharpening.

[squeaks]

Oh, that gala's just an excuse to wear ridiculous outfits

and flaunt your wealth and fame.

I want to go so bad.

Me, too, Florky, but we are neither rich nor famous.

Nurse Tup, I am quite rich.

- Uh, just FYI. - Mm-hmm.

[gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

Ho-ho! Is that an invitation to the gala? Do you get a plus-one?

'Cause I'm available, and 11 of my kids are old enough to babysit.

They found me.

Whoa.

Dr. Nerlo, cover my shift. [grunts]

- [panting] - Who found you?

You're always kinda scary, Vlam! I like it!

O-Okay, wait, are you going to the gala?

I have been invited by a high-ranking agent at the GHU.

Having no empathy really attracts people.

Do you have a plus-one?

I'm going with Klak, obviously.

We've been practicing the Two Alien Trot since our dorm room days.

What a ridiculous question.

Well, I just haven't seen you together as much lately.

I do see her with Zypha a lot.

Yeah, well, we're always together.

Well, you know. Things change. People grow.

Well, I don't.

I know, it's why we're not together.

Hey, the gala is hosted by Deep Cuts.

You aren't worried about more exposure? With your illness?

Well, now I am.

Does your date know what a buzzkill you are?

Yes. She loves it.

[grunting]

[Klak panting]

Klak, there's-

Wait, before I chicken out.

[dance music playing]

It's an exploding dance plant.

Took me a long time to learn the dance.

Will you go to the gala with me?

Oh, wow. That is so sweet. Yes.

- [patient coughs] - Um, just one minute.

As I was saying, we will make you as comfortable as possible

for your last few days.

- [groans] - [plant whimpers]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

[growls]

That's quite a haul, Vlam.

Hello, Zalorx. Why don't you take it out of what you owe me?

What? I paid you ages ago.

How many times have I told you? You have to check your credits.

I-I always forget my passcode and then I have to reset it.

Can I borrow your space pirate ship?

[whimsical guitar music playing]

Should we get ready for the gala?

- [grunts] - [sighs]

[yelps]

[exclaims]

Mm-mm.

- Wait, I have our tuxes. - [gasps]

[grunting, chuckling]

- You look amazing. - [gasps]

Maybe I can get something to match.

No. I want to wear something that complements you.

We'll wear these another time.

Oh. You two are going to the gala together.

Like you are each other's dates.

That's cool, that's very cool. We all expected that.

Just to check, who are you going to do the Two Alien Trot with?

Um, Zypha, if she'll have me.

I'd love to. I-I've never really done something like this.

I missed school dances and, you know, school.

On account of the cult.

I missed it all, too, on account of my brain.

Maybe we can make up for lost time.

[dreamy music playing]

Great, I'll just rustle up my own date and we can double.

I'll have to start narrowing it down.

[chuckles] So many options to choose from.

Hard to pick. [nervous chuckle]

[adventurous music playing]

[grunts]

[growls]

[roaring]

[roars] Stand down, War Hound.

[panting]

[chuckles] Aw.

Yes. Yes.

Vlam? Vlammy!

- [laughs] - Vlammy's home.

[cheering]

Next time you guys have a shopping list,

don't write it in the ancient language on the outside of the box.

So impractical. And creepy.

Gravity Blasters.

These are illegal in nine galaxies.

Now, where's Grandma?

[Juron] Mmm, barbecue flavor.

[sighs]

- [zapping] - [yelps]

[shudders, exhales]

- Is Klak okay? - Yes.

So am I, by the way.

What? Why did you use my emergency number?

Because it's an emergency. I need a date to the gala.

- I'm hanging up. - Wait. I'm going with Klak and her date.

We would double. It would be fun.

We'd go with Klak and Zypha?

She told you about Zypha? How serious is this thing?

Hmm. It would be nice to spend some time with Klak.

And Sleech.

You sure she doesn't mind?

The last time she introduced the family to a partner,

she sent everyone a 40-page document on off-limit topics.

Totally. She was excited about it.

Hanging out with you. Her brother.

On her date.

- Really? - Yeah.

It'll be just like old times.

Except with this new person who's changing everything.

Okay, see you tonight.

Wear something that shows your calves.

Sleech. I always do.

- [zapping] - [yelps, shudders]

[exhales]

[Cthonk laughs]

A group of science-minded test subjects all gathered in one place?

[laughs]

[energetic dance music playing]

I know I'm not always the office fun gal,

but I do love Robo-Yaba.

No, no, my partner couldn't make it tonight.

He wanted to, of course.

Any predictions for how the night will unravel, Cog?

I'm predicting... dancing!

With a chance of boogying.

[both laugh]

Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak, surgery's current hotshots,

are arriving now.

Dr. Klak is with her stunning date,

and Dr. Sleech, well, she seems to be chasing them.

Doctors, over here. Let's get a shot of the dream team.

- Wait, my brother is your date? - Yep.

Flim, this is Zypha.

Zypha, this is my brother. [chuckles]

That's right, you're meeting my family

on our second date, thanks to Sleech. [chuckles]

It's so nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Flim.

[ringing musically]

[Klak and Zypha gasp]

A harmonic fern trio. I've never seen one before.

Deep Digs, the horticulture magazine,

goes into depth about the multiversal biodiversity in this garden.

I read that same article.

You know, tonight is the extremely rare blooming of the Cirsium Syrigma,

more commonly known as the

- Thistle Whistle! - Thistle Whistle!

[dreamy music playing]

What's the Thistle Whistle?

It's a flower that blooms once every 3,000 years

in a different multiverse.

It-It's in biological stasis except when it wakes up to whistle.

I can't believe we're going to witness it.

Ugh. I love dead, screaming flowers.

[Freneca] As you know, our planet used

to be populated by the Quob Aliens,

who spent much of their existence at war.

One side created the War Hound, a robotic beast.

The opposing army took control of the War Hounds

and reprogrammed them to destroy their own creators.

Soon, the War Hounds were destroying both sides.

So they created us to stop them.

[kid groans]

But it was too late.

[both gasp]

Everyone was dead.

But not us. We can't die.

We've tried.

As the War Hounds are our brothers and sisters,

we try to help them overcome their dangerous programming

and prevent them from escaping.

How about you all try your hand at taming W-60 out there?

[kids cheering]

[Freneca] Have fun.

Ugh, we missed you.

I missed you, too, Grandma.

But sending Roofo's head was a bit much.

[chittering]

[Freneca] Welcome back, Roofo.

Poor thing ate a grape left over from the wars.

I have to get your attention somehow.

When I tell you where I am, you leave so many messages.

Oh, my only granddaughter,

the greatest War Hound tamer I've ever seen.

And just because I wonder why she doesn't return home

to fulfill her destiny, I'm clingy.

Why have I been summoned this time?

What's the real reason?

We wanted to get a good family photo before your Uncle Geego rusts.

You called me all the way here for a photo.

Oh, and a hug.

Mm.

I wanted you to come.

It's not my fault your birthday is the same day as the gala.

Hello?

Ugh.

Not a single journalist here is interested in me anymore.

I used to be the hotshot, Teeb.

And I used to have a work-life balance.

How inebriated would you both like to be tonight?

- Give me a 60. - I'll have the same.

- Mmm. - [slurring] Oh, I... I should have done a higher number.

I'm basically still sober.

What do you know about Dr. Sleech's past?

- Dr. Sleech. Flim. - Hey, Flim.

- Hi, Radha. - Hi, Sleech.

So, a lot of us have had sex with each other, huh?

Flim, Radha, there are more details on that GHU security breach last night.

A moment?

Ooh, a security breach?

- Will you tell me what it is? - Nope.

- [microphone feedback] - All right, everyone,

you know the drill: grab a partner,

because if you don't, you will have to leave.

That's the rules of the Two-Alien Trot,

- as we all know. - [both sigh]

[dance music playing]

[laughing]

- You're fun to dance with. - [chuckles]

So, what's the plan with your debilitating disease?

[shushes] We don't talk about that at public events.

Hello, Sleech. [laughs softly]

[slurring] I visited your "brother."

He's quite a guy, huh?

I didn't know you had a brother.

I don't. You were right.

Teeb's going to find everything out.

[exhales] I can't breathe.

Is this how Klak always feels?

Hey, it's okay. Just dance with me.

[grunting softly]

[laughs]

You're a terrible dancer.

This dance wasn't made for my body type.

[laughs] Mind if I steal him back?

Ah, he's all yours.

Now, if I remember, one of the few things we were good at was dancing.

Just leave some room in between us for our obvious sexual tension.

? ?

[rhythmic grunting]

[both chuckle]

[laughs]

Let's, uh, check out the gardens.

[camera shutter clicking]

I should get back.

The hospital is short-staffed.

Saving people, Vlam?

When you could be protecting ancient, immortal creatures of war?

- I'll never understand your priorities. - [alarm blaring]

[robotic voice] Breach in corridor D.

Breach in corridor D.

The Hound has regressed to her original murderous programming.

And, worse than that, she's going to get oil on my rug.

[growling]

[screaming]

Could someone grab that?

It's never just a photo, is it?

[low-pitched] Ha, ha, ha.

[low, ominous music playing]

[Cthonk] Oh. [laughs]

[laughs] Oh.

[energetic dance music playing]

This is my real face.

Right this way, Dr. Xiupa.

Thanks.

[ethereal music playing]

[sniffs deeply]

Can you smell that?

That's a cheese flower. Smells like cheese.

You've never been very good at sharing her.

I've never had to.

This one is different.

That's good. The others were terrible. It's growth.

Growths can be bad.

Thanks for agreeing to come.

- I came for Klak. - And Sleech.

Oh, an Everpod.

I've always wanted to try that fruit, but it never seems to be in season.

That's because it's always in season.

[gasps] Astroethylene gas.

It's a gas that ripens the fruits around it.

Yum. Gas.

[Zypha] The Thistle Flowers feed the soil.

Mutually beneficial symbiosis.

Totally. Want one?

Wait! This is a defensive biome.

[all shouting]

[screams]

[both straining]

[gasps]

[both screaming]

[dance music playing]

- [gasping] - [screaming]

- [guest 1] What's happening? - [guest 2 exclaims]

I'm back, baby.

It appears that St. Cthonk, the beloved inventor of teleportation, is alive.

Which is different than last year, when he was dead.

What better way to announce my return than with a little razzle-dazzle?

Question: what does everyone want?

Money.

A longer battery life for their robotic appendages.

To be hot forever.

It's true, I do want that.

Bingo, my friend. Eternal youth.

Which is why I've created a de-aging agent,

which you're all breathing in this very moment.

It will make you young forever.

- [all gasp] - Are-are we babies?

Yes. I can start the de-aging process,

but I-I can't figure out how to stop it.

And that's where you,

allegedly the scientific minds of a generation, come in.

[all screaming]

It appears St. Cthonk is engaging the crowd

in a dangerous game of life or death tonight.

And frankly, I would like my mommy.

Now solve it, little scientists.

I'm a reporter.

And whose choice was that?

Fear is an excellent motivator.

First one to solve it doesn't die a baby.

[cackles]

- [both shout] - I don't know why you love plants.

They're like weapons.

[gasps] They are like weapons. So we use them like that.

If we die, tonight's been fun.

It really has.

Zypha seems good for you.

[grunts] Right?

I hope Sleech doesn't ruin it.

Maybe, like this plant, she just thinks her ecosystem is threatened.

- Whoa! - Maybe she's right.

[both] Whoa!

[both shout]

It's so easy to talk to Zypha about everything.

She's open and fun and honest.

It's always just been me and Sleech.

But Sleech is so withholding.

Yeah. [chuckles] That's Sleech.

You don't "like" like her again, do you?

[Flim] What? No. Yuck.

Oh, wow, Flim, you're acting like a child.

Oh! You are a child.

- Why are you a child? - [screams]

[both scream]

[Zypha] The Thistle Whistle defends itself by bringing predators

into its stasis for thousands of years.

For thousands of years?

Klak is gonna be so mad at me if we get stasis'd.

- It'll only happen if the sap touches you. - What?!

Stay still.

I'm going to find pressure points that should slow the sap release.

So, like, if I die, you and Klak, right?

I feel like if you're just kind of looking for a casual thing,

it might be best to let her down gently now, before she's all in.

Are you kidding? She's amazing.

I-I want everything with Klak.

Everything? Like everything?

Like a future?

Like the future me and Klak have planned, unless I die?

[screams]

[plant whimpers]

[Zypha and Sleech gasp]

This is why I don't go to parties.

- [roaring] - [grunting]

[panting]

- [laughs] - It's good to have you back, Vlam.

I know. I think that's why I leave.

It's nice to do things that don't come naturally to me.

To struggle, to fail, to learn, to triumph.

I prefer to do things I'm naturally good at

and then continue to do only those things.

- [device chimes] - [gasps]

We're going to have to postpone that family photo.

[Cthonk] Come on, little fools.

You're running out of time.

Ugh, this baby body doesn't have the motor skills necessary

for advanced cell mutation.

Also, I'm very drunk.

- [muffled shout] - No, we're de-aging too quickly.

And now I'm hungry for eggs. [shouts]

[chuckles]

[all panting]

Cthonk?

There she is.

My wide-eyed girl. My prot�g�e.

Time to finish what Uncle Cthonk started, huh?

Can't you just do normal testing like a normal person?

You're gonna kill people!

Only if you're too dumb to solve it.

Ticktock. [shouts]

Stand down, Cthonk.

Vlam, my ex.

Of all the evil plans in all the galaxies, you had to walk into mine.

Remember when we swindled that whole town for money?

That was my town. You took my money.

[laughs] That's romance, baby.

[all scream]

[laughs] Whoa.

Ooh, saucy.

If you babies figure out how to stop time's ravages, I get the credit.

If not, embrace death.

Vlam, call me. [cackles]

Every time!

[shouting]

We're going to disappear.

We can't stop time's ravages.

[high-pitched whistling]

No, we can't. But maybe we can stop time.

- [gasps] The Thistle Whistle. - Of course.

What? Did you figure something out?

What did you figure out?

The sap. It induces stasis, remember?

Me and Klak usually figure stuff out together like that.

[chuckles] That's kind of our thing.

Okay, we just need a drop for every baby, and then-

Wait, no, no. Uh, limited sac regeneration.

We wouldn't have enough.

Uh, maybe we can mimic something else from the garden?

Uh, a haustorial invasion of the host's xylem?

Maybe we can give everyone a telomere boost and-

There was also an angiosperm with-

- Oh, right, well, that could- - Wait.

Astroethylene.

That's what made the plant mature and ripen.

Gas that made the fruit grow.

- Or we take the- - Sleech, stop. We've got it.

Okay, cool. Totally.

Yeah, I...

[crying]

Sleech.

Come on.

We just got excited about astroethylene.

It's not about that. I'm being replaced.

No, you're not.

I just wanted to hang out with Zypha alone.

Why at the gala?

We've been planning to go together since college.

Why didn't you say something?

Silly question, you never tell me what's going on with you.

I'm gonna need space as I get to know Zypha.

She isn't like Azel.

I know. That's what's scary.

I'm not sure I want things to change.

Well, they can't go backwards, or we die as babies.

- [high-pitched whistle] - [gasps]

Whoa. We're going to get smaller until it's like we never existed.

Like our careers never existed.

It's going to be okay. We've got gas.

[all grunting]

[exhales]

Do you want to take a walk in the gardens?

I'd love to.

But you don't think the plants are gonna attack us again.

- Right? - No.

Probably not. Maybe.

- You want to join, Sleech? - Ugh, absolutely.

I love walks, especially after being a baby.

[laughs] Right.

Um, no, actually.

I should stay here and flirt with Flim, so... you two go on.

What I don't understand is how Cthonk made everyone's clothes get smaller with them.

That was uncharacteristically mature.

- I hated it. - [chuckles]

It's never a boring night with you.

Are you looking at me with your romantic eyes?

No. Stop it.

You are.

- [glass shatters] - [both gasp]

[slurring] Ah, there she is. Ah...

Hey, you want to get out of here?

That's a terrible idea. [exhales]

Yeah.

- [? Dana Gillespie: "Move Your Body Close to Me"] - ? Move your body close to me ?

? Touch heart-to-heart, don't ever part ?

? Oh, give in ?

? Move your body close to me ?

? Reach out to feel that it's for real ?

? Oh, give in ?

? Now I can feel ?

? Now I can feel that you really want me ?

? Like I want you ?

? Won't let you go ?

? So move your body, your body, your body close ?

Chirp.
