Carlin is performing magic tricks on stage. After doing a trick with breaking Barry's watch and then revealing they are fully intact, Carlin asks for a volunteer to do a hypnosis act. Krash comes on stage, and quickly becomes subject to Carlin's manipulations. Barry then asks to make Krash pretend he's a bird, and when Carlin tells Krash to fly, he actually flies away.

After that, Chiko asks an injured Krash how he did that, to which he replies he doesn't remember a thing. After the incident, everyone else try to do the same thing: Wally tries to fly with Rosa's help, but falls down the river, and Dokko asks Carlin to hypnotize him, who refuses due to Dokko not being susceptible to hypnosis. Barry asks Carlin to hypnotize him, but he makes him do chores around his house instead, after which he orders Barry to fly. It fails, as he simply flails his arms around and stumbles.

The KikoRiki then spy on Krash to see if he can fly on his own, but with unsuccessful results. Later, Wally comes to the conclusion that Carlin simply hypnotized everyone else except for Krash, and tells everyone else about this theory. Carlin denies this, saying that he saw it as well, to which Wally replies that Krash hypnotized him as well. Carlin then reminds him of Dokko not being susceptible to hypnosis, due to which they decide to record Krash flying while Dokko splashes water on everyone to make then snap out of it. They repeat the experiment, but nothing works and Krash flies away again, getting stuck in the tree and asking for help.

Tropes:

  • Ambiguous Situation: It's never revealed how Krash was able to fly.
  • Hypno Pendulum: Carlin uses it on Krash.
  • Hypno Fool: Carlin hypnotizes Barry to do chores for him before ordering him to fly, which fails. Krash was also subjected to chewing on a bucket while pretending it's a carrot earlier.
  • Immune to Mind Control: Dokko is the only one not susceptible to hypnosis... In this episode, that is.
  • Mass Hypnosis: Wally suggests that Carlin did this to everyone, but is proven wrong later.
  • Scully Syndrome: Barry denies to the last that Krash can fly, despite the fact that he has seen this with his own eyes twice.
  • Series Continuity Error: Dokko is not susceptible to hypnosis in this episode, but just an episode prior, he was.
