Trouble on the Wiggleprise forces both WASA and Slimey's spaceship crew to work together to fix the problem.
Tropes in this episode include:
- Cabin Fever: What kicks off the problem in the first place. The worms have been in space for a long time by this point in the story. All the worms want to use a pink bowling ball, and no one can agree to who gets to use it first.
- Inventional Wisdom: The rest of the plot is kicked off when Slimey accidentally knocks the bowling ball towards the "Wrong Way Button", which, as you can guess, points the rocketship off-course. When Maria checks the manual on how to put the ship back on-course:Maria: [reading] The "Right Way Button" is outside the spaceship, near the tippy, tippy-top...!
Telly: [dumbfounded] OUTSIDE the spaceship?!
Maria: [reading] ...so that no one can push it... [pauses as if dumbfounded herself] ...by mistake! - Named After Somebody Famous: One of the worms is named "Dr. Albert Einslime".
- Never Say "Die": The worst conclusion that Telly comes to when the rocket starts to go off course is...Telly: They could even get... [dramatic sting] LOST IN SPACE!!!
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Again, Dr. Einslime, who even has Einstein's famous brushed-out hair and mustache.
