Original Airdate: 3/9/2015

The first episode of Season 2 is also the last episode to be a series of shorts. This time however, all the shorts are consecutive and form a single plot. This episode focuses on the Series 4 tribes, with the Infernite Cousins encountering the Glowkies and Orbitons that live on the Mixel Moon.

Only You can Prevent Forest Freezes, Only You!

The Episode begins with the Infernite Cousins setting up a campground for the night. They didn't bring any supplies, but Burnard does have a Camp-cube ready, as the only thing needed for a proper camping experience. Flamzer is concerned that misuse would lead to a Forest Freeze taking over the forest they are in, but Burnard persuades him to set it up anyway. As they eat their food, Burnard tries to use ice water to keep the camp-cube from sputtering out, but it goes out of control and begins to freeze Flamzer. Burnard and Meltus are able to get it under control, but use up three Cubits in the process.

Tall Tales From Da Moon! Part 1

Brunard and Meltus suggest a campcube story to pass the time, and Flamzer is happy to oblige. The story begins with the Infernite Cousins walking through the night with the Mixel Moon looming over them. They try to get away from the moon, but it turns into a ship-space that abducts the Infernites and brings them to Orbitopia, home of the Orbitons tribe. Despite the Orbitons meeting them with peaceful intent, the Infernites are clearly not happy with being abducted and attack them. Both tribes Max to duke it out in the stars above, but then realize their mistake. After the Orbitons properly introduce themselves, the Infernites befriend them.

Houston, We Have a Problem!

Nurp-Naut gives a tour of Orbitopia to the Infernites. The other Orbitons are interested in the abilities of the Infernites and ask to show them off. In the midst of this, Nurp tries to take over, but Naut insists that it's the formers nap time and they begin to argue. Nurp goes into a tantrum and starts trashing the environment. Flamzer and Niksput Mix to prevent any damage to the dome. Nurp's damage eventually overwhelms the Mix and the dome collapses, sucking everybody into space.

Crater Tots!

A welcoming party is held for the Infernites, with Crater Tots and Oxy-Juice on the menu. Two Nixels attempt to run off with the Oxy-Juice, but the Orbitons and the Infernites Mix to stop the thieves. Rokit uses his signature sauce on the Crater Tots and asks if anybody want them. When they decline after seeing what happened to the Nixel, he takes them himself and explodes.

Things That Go Murp in the Night!

The Infernites ask why they were abducted, with the Orbitons responding that they were looking for other life to team up with. Another explanation shows that the Orbitons had a previous encounter with another extraterrestial tribe known as the Glowkies, which Rokit describes as being more evil than the Nixels. The Glowkies first encounter didn't go as planned, stopping by while Rokit was telling Nurp a bedtime story. In the present, the Glowkies arrive once again to give chase to the Orbitons and Infernites. The ensuing chase leads them into their home territory, where the Glowkies finally introduce themselves. The Infernites and the Orbitons finally discover that the Glowkies are also friendly.

Don't Pull the Gravity Plug!

Globert explains that the Glowkies love the dark becuase it is fun. The other Glowkies then sing a dance number all about not pulling the omminious plug in the floor, lest gravity suck everything up. Burnard is curious, and tries to pull the plug himself against the Glowkies' wishes. He then mixes with Rokit to get enough strength to pull the plug which sucks everything up, including the rest of the LEGO universe. The Glowkies Max is unfazed as the only remaining entity left, and quips a line to end the segment.

Tall Tales From Da Moon! Part 2

Throughout the entire adventure, Burnard dearly misses his home back on Planet Mixel. The other Infernites realize they miss home too and begin to cry.

The scene then moves back to the campground back on Planet Mixel as Flamzer finishes his story. Their entire adventure on the moon was just a dream, and Flamzer explains that the Orbitons and Glowkies don't exist at all. Unbeknowest to them, the Orbitons and the Glowkies had been listening to their story, and start crying when they hear Flamzer's comments.

Also unbeknowest to them, Nixels had been observing the Infernites from a distance. The observations are broadcasted to Nixel Land, where Major Nixel is angry about the confirmation of Mixel tribes outside of Planet Mixel. Another Nixel hears the news too, and it is none other that the Nixels Leader...


This episode provides examples of:

  • Apocalypse How: Pulling the Gravity Plug causes a Class X4 to happen, with the entire LEGO universe sucked up. This resembles the Big Crunch. The Glowkies Max survives the destruction due to Rule of Funny.
  • Everybody Cries: At the end, all of the Series 4 Mixels (except Flamzer) begin to cry over hearing that they don't exist, with Burnard and Meltus still crying from the end.
  • Fantastic Racism: The "Things That Go Murp in the Night" section reveals that the Orbitons and Glowkies were enemies, though their enmity/rivalry was due to Poor Communication Kills.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Burnard unwittingly causes a Forest Freeze during his attempts to add more fuel to the camp-cube. Less than a minute later, Meltus and Burnard try to combine to stop the Forest Freeze the latter created, but their first two attempts result in a Murp.
  • Gravity Screw: This happens when Nurp throws tantrums about not getting Crater Tots.
  • Kill It with Ice: A Forest Freeze's effects.
  • Lethally Stupid: Burnard can be considered this since he breaks Flamzer's rules of camp safety. First, he left his tent at home (which Flamzer gets angry at him for), then he touches the ice cube that the Infernite Cousins's are using for their "camp-cube", then he pours ice water on the camp-cube and causes a Forest Freeze after Meltus accidentally puts it out with uncontrollable fire breath.
  • Negative Continuity: Twice do the Infernites and the Orbitons get sucked up by the vacuum of space but by the next segment everything is completely fine. The entire universe gets destroyed at the end of one segment, and everyone is perfectly fine after a scene transition.
  • Oh, Crap!: Rokit when he sees the Glowkies in Nurp-Naut's room.
  • Poor Communication Kills: This is what caused the Orbitons' Fantastic Racism with the Glowkies.
  • Rapid-Fire "No!": Naut does this when one of the crates hits the dome, resulting it having a crack.
  • Rule of Three: After their first two attempts go horribly wrong and they murp, Meltus and Burnard FINALLY make a proper Mix that destroys the Forest Freeze that Flamzer created.
  • We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill: The Orbitons introduce themselves as peaceful Mixels, but the Infernite Cousins are angry over getting abducted and attack them in retaliation by Maxing.
