A subtle prank goes too far when the Catering Company ends up bankrupt and a character death is certain.

Plot[]

Endive plans to prank Mung because it's Prank Monday. Meanwhile, Mung is trying to get a Crabcake out of its shell. When Endive called for the prank, the crab got out of its shell and answered the phone, proceeding to hand the phone to Mung. She pretends to be a customer and orders 770,000 orders of Gagin Gorfins (which is the most expensive dish in the Universe) from Mung. This causes him to be willing to drop everything to make it, knowing it to be the most expensive dish in the world and also believing that the payout will be more rewarding than what he spends on the ingredients. After "Ms. Makemups" assures she can pay, Truffles tells Mung that its Endive's prank because of the anniversary of prank day, however he is unwilling to believe that. Truffles brings up he always fell for Endive's pranks for a decade and advises him to call her. He begrudgingly does call Endive to check and see if this accusation is true, which it is, however Endive tells him it is not. Smug, Mung prepares the dish, but when the payout never comes, he realizes that it was a prank and loses the catering company (and Chowder loses his coconuts and grass skirt.) An angry Truffles punches Mung in the head for not listening to her warnings.

The gang move into the No Tell Motel. Endive then places an enormous pie by the door. Just as Mung went to retrieve it and bring it in, an even larger pie is dropped on top of him. Endive and Panini laugh at his misfortune, before Endive tells her rival to come out so she could see the look on his face but there is no response. Endive goes to check on him but is dismayed by his state, as she is left to believe he'd been greatly injured, or even killed. She then proceeds to force Panini to help her in an attempt to hide the body because she is an accomplice. However, Chowder had eaten the pie, leading Endive to believe that Mung had been eaten. Endive expresses her fears, and Chowder begins to feel sick and states that the "evidence" is about to come out. Endive clogs up Chowder's mouth to keep him from barfing. Endive takes chowder and flees to the Jellybean Pits, but the cops were chasing someone else down who was trying to bury a book. So, they search elsewhere for shelter. Endive finds an empty home and believes that Mung's "remains" would be fine there, and that nobody would ever find them, and that they would stay there for the rest of their lives. Panini sadly replies "But this isn't the life I wanted. I was going to marry my boyfriend, have dozens of babies, they were going to be called, Panchowbies. I can't stay with a person who ruined my life." and runs away crying. Endive begins to breakdown in guilt about her acts and feelings. Suddenly, a large dragonfly with a flashlight passes by, making Endive think its the cops, so she goes to an airport, but leaves her hat. Chowder tries to give it back, but she still thinks she's being chased.

She gets on the plane and feels safe, but still feels guilty. A disguised Mung then shows up and tells Endive that the whole thing was a prank. He knew her plan from the start. He had the catering company put in storage to fool her, everyone in the episode was in on it, and the Mung she squashed with the pie was a fake made of bean curd and sugar. Endive, relieved, hugs him and Mung pops. Endive is confused momentarily, and Mung (the real one) shows up, saying it was another fake Mung (this one being made from gelatin and ham) and she got furious, thus throttling Mung for pranking him while her guard is down.
