Three and Four are in the Cosy Room with a lot of boxes. Four asks what the boxes are for, and Three replies that she wants to put her beautiful things in individual boxes. She throws them into the boxes, while Four nervously ducks out of the way and sulkily wishes for a "quiet lie-down". Then, she decides they look "lonely" in individual boxes, but Four complains about how they've just gotten the boxes out.
The alarm goes off, so they go to the control room, where Agent 58 tells them that a boy is having trouble with his bike helmet: it disappeared and came back with an extra one. Five gets launched out (with Jasper on the couch) and lands on a memorial.
She goes into a restaurant, where some plates of food are multiplying and then stacking. Then, some chairs disappear, multiply, and disappear again. Agent 63 then reports a girl brushing her hair, only for her hairbrush to disappear and turn into several hairbrushes. Then, her lipstick multiplies and disappears.
Six asks the agents if they see a pattern, and they say that sometimes people don't have enough things and sometimes they have too many, and they need one each of everything. Five wonders who's doing the damage— as the Spooky Spoon flies up behind her.
They send brain gain to make one each of everything, but Spooky twists the sentiment and changes the food to one piece of cheese, one strand of spaghetti, one slice of carrot, and one pea each. Then, she makes them sit at separate tables and gives them one waitress each.
Five imagines there being only one tree in the world, with only one branch, with only one twig, with only one leaf, with only one bug, with only one leg, and a one-winged (and therefore flightless) bird.
Spooky then makes all but one of the hairbrush's bristles, the man in the restaurant's chair's legs, and a class of children disappear. The agents decide on making a mixture of brain gain that communicates that sometimes the rule is one each, and sometimes it's lots of things each. Five distributes this brain gain and strands Spooky at the top of a tree.
Five returns to the couch and they retell the mission, then, Three and Four tidy up the Cosy Room. Four asks the viewers if they have anything they have one of or lots of.
This episode provides examples of
- An Aesop: This episode has the moral of "sometimes you get things wrong and have to rethink things".
- Artistic License – Biology: Five imagines a caterpillar-type creature but calls it an "insect". Well, she is only five years old.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Five imagines Spooky making it so there's only one bird with only one wing.
- Insult Backfire: Five says, "Things are getting mixed up, thanks to you". Spooky responds, "Don't thank me"— actually, Five was using "thanks to" in the sense of "because of".
- Me's a Crowd: When Spooky gives the three customers one waitress each, she duplicates one specific waitress, thereby giving her two copies.
- Not So Above It All: Despite his no-nonsense personality, Four has a bit of a chuckle with the girl's hairbrushes and lipstick behaving oddly.
- Oh, Crap!: When Spooky Spoon expresses approval at the concept of "one each", the Numberjacks instantly think, "uh-oh" and prepare for the worst.
