On the way to the Crimson Claws, a sudden tidal wave (an apparent punishment for eating the rare clownfish) lands the Brotherhood's ship on an unmarked island in the middle of the sea, where they're suddenly attacked by a horde of apes. Then, the group is separated and the boys are found by some enthralling, green-haired beauties who've charmed them, to the point that they ditch the girls to enjoy some time on the island. Eventually, the girls of the Brotherhood decides to investigate the matters on the dangerous island and find out what's the secret of the three ladies...


Tropes:

  • Always a Bigger Fish: Exaggerated when the girls fall in a pond, out of which emerges a large reptilian monster who chases after them... then a bigger predator shows up and chase them all... and another one.... and yet a bigger one.
  • Bowel-Breaking Bricks: Black Ink, twice during the episode, is so scared he leaves a puddle of expanding ink beneath him.
  • Collapsing Lair: When the Bellaphones' attack is redirected towards the ceiling of the cavern, the whole structure starts to collapse, eventually trapping the Bellaphones under the rubble.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: At first, the males of the Brotherhood seems to be completely enthralled by the three buxom beauties cuddling them, with even Yugo remarking how beautiful they are. Turns out however it's more like Charm Person.
  • Dull Surprise: While being cuddled by a Bellaphone, Yugo notices that he just grabbed a fruit with his monkey tail... and just thinks it's cool.
  • Demonic Possession: This time, Ape Sadlygrove is possessed by Rubilax with the latter in control. However, given his Character Development and the fact that the former is currently Brainwashed and Crazy, it works in favor of the good guys.
  • Faint in Shock: Elaine stiffens in shock and faints upon seeing Eva and Cleo getting the ship down from the peak it was stuck on... by shooting it with arrows and making it fall back in the water.
  • Forced Transformation: The men who fell victim to the Bellaphones and have their life-force sucked are turned into simian creatures, mostly apes (Yugo and Black Ink turn into monkeys instead).
  • Game Face: The Bellaphones appears as beautiful green-haired ladies, but when forced to take action against the heroines they transform into hideous gorgon-like creatures.
  • Giant Spider: A huge Arachnee attacks the girls while they're hiding out in a flower, and chase them all the way to the Bellaphone's lair, at which point it realizes where it is and runs away.
  • Hand Behind Head: After the heroes narrowly escape the collapsing lair of the Bellaphones, Cleo rubs the back of her neck while letting out a big sigh.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The Bellaphones are defeated when Rubilax throws one of them at the others while they're "singing", causing them to redirect their soundwaves at the ceiling, making it crumble.
  • "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Invoked when Amalia tries to reason with Monkey Yugo while restraining him. Yugo at first seems to understand... but ultimately just keep attacking.
  • Interesting Situation Duel: The first part of the episode sees the Brotherhood fighting a pack of apes on a ship dangerously perched on a stone spire, with the battle causing the battlefield to rock back and forth.
  • Killer Gorilla: The slaves of the Bellaphones are a pack of large mandrill-like apes, who fell victim to their spell and had their lifeforce consumed. Ruel and Sadlygrove are also transformed into apes.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: The Bellaphones can sing, sending out echoing soundwaves to attack their foes.
  • Mean Boss: The Bellaphones angrily insults their apes when they're pushed back.
  • Oh, Crap!: The giant Arachnee chasing the heroines stops in its tracks and screams in terror when it realizes that it's close to the Bellaphone's cavern.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Because of the Bellaphones' influence, the males are unusually aggressive and resentful towards the girls, even Black Ink and Yugo. But it's clear things really went south when Ruel angrily kicks Kamasutar Junior away.
  • Pain to the Ass: During the fight on the ship, Sadlygrove is entangled in some ropes and separated from Rubilax, who was picked up by a random ape and brandished against the former: Dally manages to free himself and transform only by touching Rubilax... namely, when the ape pokes him in the butt with him.
  • The Reveal: Turns out those apes were serving the Bellaphones, who feeds over the males' life energy and turn them into apes or monkeys under their command.
  • Scary Stinging Swarm: Elaine steps onto a hive of wasps. The typical running and jumping into a nearby pond ensues for the girls.
  • Slave Mooks: Rather than face the heroines themselves, the Bellaphones are content with letting the simian thralls do the job.
  • Snake People: The Bellaphones' true form is that of hideous, gorgon-like snakewomen, hinted by their green clothing and hair.
  • Shout-Out: The scene with Ape Ruel playing a game with bones parodies 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Since the girls are alone in this episode, Eva and Amalia have to work together with Cleo at their best.
