The KJ Mystery Solving Five has broken up years ago, but it's time for Julien to get the gang back together when lemurs keep going missing around the kingdom.
Tropes
- Actually a Doombot: When Karl is defeated, he becomes so angry that he explodes, revealing that he was a robot, too.
- All Just a Dream: The whole episode is a story made up by Julien seemingly to explain why he's slept in today.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: The episode starts in black and white until Julien decides he doesn't look good in black and white and physically cleans up the camera lens to fix the color.
- Breather Episode: This is the first episode to not even be tangentially about the fallout of the War of the Beasts, signaling a true return to form for the series until it begins wrapping up for the series finale.
- Call-Back: Maurice returns to the Aye-aye kingdom and buys the Bricardo's night club from "I, Maurice"
- Foreshadowing: Rob appearing in a pre-disfigurement state is only loosely hand-waved with him fixing himself with plastic surgery, and is the first major hint that the events of this episode aren't real.
- Noir Episode: It even starts in black and white until Julien decides he doesn't look good in grayscale and fixes the camera.
- Or Was It a Dream?: The episode ends with a reveal that Mort was replaced by a robot.
- Replicant Snatching: The criminal plot turns out to be Karl replacing the kingdom with robots.
- Running Gag: All of the criminals King Julien's mystery club are shown busting in the opening montage are Pancho. Even the Phantom Ninja Pie Thief clearly appears to be Pancho in a mask.
- Space Whale Aesop: The moral of King Julien's story is that you shouldn't ignore your emotions because they can blow up robots.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Karl's robots explode when they detect sadness.Karl: Yes, uh, Julien, in hindsight, I really shouldn't have bought those secondhand emotional regulator chips.
