Julien went undercover / to get into Gladiator School
He wore a clever costume / that had the other fossa fooled!
Clover and Sage, their minds bewitched / woke up with their bodies switched
Mort went to find his old friend Hans / whose jealous wife had other plans
And Mom-Bot made some cookies!

Chapter Tesha
Julien's fossa, dubbed "Fartacus" has found itself being trained by Uncle King Julien, who sees right through his disguise and is eager to take the chance to eliminate his nephew. Mort is planning on recruiting the army of Morts from the alternate dimension, but first he needs Smart Mort to help him repair the dimensional portal. Sage returns to his homeland, hoping to find something that will remind Koto of the good inside of him.
Tropes:
- Big Entrance: Karl makes his appearance upon a flying chair with built-in music and a disco ball laser light show.
- Disney Death: Maurice falls into the pit of death and is assumed dead by Julien, but the episode ends showing that Maurice is alive, but badly injured.
- Eyepatch of Power: Uncle Julien's top fossa Thrax has one of these to set him apart from the others.
- Heroic BSoD: Maurice's sacrifice hits Julien hard, to the point where when Uncle Julien tries to have Mary-Ann kill him, Julien wants her to.
- Heroic Sacrifice: As Julien and Maurice dangle from a branch over a bottomless pit to their deaths, Maurice lets go so that Julien can save himself.
- Hope Spot:
- Koto and his army show up at the Mountain Lemur kingdom to seize Clover and Sage. Sage shows Koto his time capsule of happy childhood memories between the two of them and Koto pretends to be a changed lemur as a result, but then laughs it all, dismisses Sage's mementos as garbage, and has the village burned to the ground for good measure.
- Against all odds, Julien and Maurice manage to fumble their way through battle with Uncle Julien's strongest fossa gladiator, but then they fumble themselves into the bottomless pit and Maurice has to sacrifice himself so Julien can live.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Julien is fairly confident about his fight with the fossa because he's pretty sure he and Maurice are somehow immune to death.
- Tempting Fate: Julien brags about he can never, ever die, and then immediately slips and falls into the bottomless pit of death.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Sage recalls several stories that show, before Koto became bitter about Sage being named heir to the kingdom, he was an extremely caring brother, to almost comical extremes.
- Wham Episode: Maurice is (presumed) dead, Clover and Sage are taken prisoner. Things begin explicitly taking a downward turn for our heroes in this episode.
- Where I Was Born and Razed: Just to hammer the point home that the past is dead to him, Koto has the Mountain Lemur Kingdom burned to the ground.
