* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Boober assumes Red's attempts to act like Mokey are symptoms of a rare, highly contagious disease called bacterial sufferosis. The symptoms include funny hair and a weird voice. Later, he and Wembley are in a panic, thinking that they've both caught it and are going to die. Just then, Gobo and Mokey return from the Gorgs' garden. When Gobo says that Red is all right—as in, a good friend—Boober and Wembley think it means that she's cured.

When Gobo and Mokey go to see the Trash Heap to find out what's wrong with Red, they get caught in Junior's snare on the way back. Red, who is trying to do Mokey's job of gathering radishes, sees what's happened and improvises a plan to save her friends. She hides behind a bush (pretending to be a talking bush), yells at Junior, and manages to distract him long enough to give Gobo and Mokey time to escape. They praise Red's bravery, and she realizes her friends like her the way she is.
