Believing that the Dream Maker's dogfish Albert is a great hindrance to acquiring the Dreamstone, the Urpneys capture him during the Eclipse festival in the Land of Dreams as ransom bait. Pildit's grandmother Wildit aids in Albert's rescue and expelling the Urpneys.
Tropes featured in the episode:
- Affirmative Action Girl: Wildit is introduced in this episode, and very quickly proves her worth.
- Becoming the Mask: Blob and his men pose as concert performers in a scheme to distract the Noops. Frizz and Nug get a little too caught in the rhythm.Frizz: We're stars, Sarge! We're stars!
- Cutting the Knot: The heroes debate worriedly over whether to sacrifice the Dreamstone for the sake of their kidnapped friend. Then they remember the Urpneys are Harmless Villains and can just be beaten into handing them back.
- Establishing Character Moment: Wildit speeding back and forth on her leaf, showing just how aerobatic, and hyperactive she is.
- For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: The Urpneys manipulate this when entering the Noops' concert. Since the Noops themselves dressed as Urpneys, they buy into it. The Dream Maker also jokes about wanting to go as such to avoid a fancy dress.
- Hostage for MacGuffin: The Urpneys attempt this by kidnapping Albert for the Dreamstone.
- Mook Horror Show: The Urpneys are utterly powerless against the heroes and try to escape. Played with since Wildit just lets them escape as soon as they snag Albert of them.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Frizz decides to leave in the middle of cleaning the Frazznat pit.
