[munching]

Guys. I just read something incredible on the DSFB.

Dudley's... Spaghetti... Food Blog?

David Steele Fan Board!

There I was, webpages deep, already late for school,

when I read that the only copy

of the legendary missing issue #

David Steele: Stuck in the Rust Belt

is located in our very town!

-You're kidding! -What?!

I have long dreamed

of finding out how David escapes the abandoned auto factory

and if he ever meets his long lost twin brother!

So where's the comic??

The ComicBook Nook!

Oh, that new girl's family's store?!

Yup!

Let's go ask New Girl

if she'll show it to us!

Her name is Kara, guys.

I'll handle it. [munching]

I'm easily the most fly in the group.

Ugh, Rusty, stop blowing your spicy cheese breath at me!

It's making me-- Achoo!

That sounds like a you prob.

'Cause me thinks these are delish.

What up, Kara?

So I heard about issue .

What are the chances a guy like me

could possibly take a peek sometime?

Hmmm. Let me do the math.

If I carry the "no chance"

and add a "not on your life," it's... zero percent.

[groans]

That nut's not cracking.

Pfft! That sounds like a you prob.

Let me try.

[sighs] Sorry, about my friend.

Obviously you'd only allow a true comic connoisseur

like myself to read-- Achoo!

Ugh. Stupid cheese puffs!

Uh, you can have my tots.

And no. Sorry. Bye.

[groans]

So much for just asking her.

And our best people were on it.

Action News Team!

Thanks for the piece about me.

The other teachers had no idea

I once escaped a collapsing underwater cave

using my webbed feet,

and believe me,

they were impressed!

[everyone winces]

Wait, that gives me an idea!

Oh, don't worry it has nothing to do

with Bolhofner's feet.

Huh?

Let me guess. Issue ?

Huh, what? I have no idea what you're talking about!

I'm here on behalf of the Action News Team.

You may have heard of us...

I've seen your show.

I liked the one about Bolhofner's webbed feet.

Thanks! We want to film a new student profile

that would be all about you.

Your interests, hobbies, favorite foods.

Why would you wanna do that?

For fun! It'll be a great way for everyone to know you!

Are you free, I don't know, after school?

-Today? -I work at my family's

comic book store after school, so...

Oh sh**t. I guess we can't do it...

Unless! If you're cool with it, we could just film there?

Hmm... okay. I'll see you guys there.

Yes! [singsong] I did it! I-I did it!

Okay, you know the plan.

Take these, so we can communicate secretly.

Sorry, Lana was playing with yours

and dropped it in Charles' water bowl.

-It might... -[Zach shrieks]

...zap you. Occasionally.

But it's a mild zap.

Easy for you to say.

Why are you standing out here?

Just getting some fresh air!

[sniffs] And that's enough!

Now let's get you gussied up for the camera.

Whoa, cool scar!

Oh, thanks. Hockey puck.

I was five, I think?

Whoa! You play hockey?!

-Wow! -That's so cool!

[laughs, snorts]

Whoa, you have friends?

Oh, get lost, Josh.

[laughs, blows raspberry]

And stop taking my snacks!

Younger sibling?

Yeah, I have plenty of those myself.

Hmm... We need more light. I'll go look for something.

And we're rolling!

So, Kara, what are your hobbies?

Comic book collecting, obviously...

board games, ice-fishing, oh, making dishes

from recipes people write on their headstones.

Really?! Awesome! And macabre. What have you made?

[Zach] Agent Gurdle reporting. I'm in.

-Will advise on progress. -Copy!

I mean, toffee. Have you made that?

Hmm. Aha!

Engaging super speed!

-[papers rustling] -Gah!

Finger cramp!

Ooh! Is that Commander Blork?!

First Lieutenant Bleck?! Officer Splork?!

[making fighting sounds]

Wait, you rode The Big Dipper?!

Um, five times.

I'm kind of obsessed with water slides.

What's the big deal?

It's a -story drop! Tallest water slide

in North America!

Whoa!

[laughs]

[Zach] I'm gonna get you! No! Ah!

Take that, evil space worm!

Ugh, Zach's been compromised.

Oh my foot's asleep! Need to walk!

Liam, keep sh**ting without me.

[chuckles]

[making fighting sounds]

-Hmm. -[laughs nervously]

I was just looking for the comic!

Uh-huh. Time to swap out.

Found the soft light!

-Gah! -Gah!

If I were hiding something valuable

I'd put it somewhere like...

Here!

Guys! I found a secret room!

The comic has to be inside! But it's locked with a keypad.

Ask questions that might be the number combo!

Time for Rust-Dawg to ask burning questions.

-What's your birthday? -June th.

----?? Tight, tight...

That didn't work, try another!

What's your mom's fav numbers? Parents' anniversary?

These are your burning questions?

Abort, Stella. Rusty's bombing. Let's swap, I have an idea!

[yelps]

Ow, uh, I mean wow, ha,

I'm super excited for this interview.

I gotta call my mom!

I forgot to tell her I left the sink on, full blast.

That sounds made up...

Speaking of made up, you're the author

of four published comic books.

What was your inspiration for this one?

Paula Bunyan vs the Lumberjerx?

Hmm... Perfect time to use

my David Steele UV light fingerprint detector!

It has to be some combination of these numbers.

Okay, let me see...

-[keys beeping] -[buzzes]

-[keys beeping] -[buzzes]

-[keys beeping] -[chirps]

Bingo!

I'm in! But I need to switch with Rusty.

This is his area of expertise.

You sew your own cosplay outfits,

your grandma is an astronaut,

and you've beaten every level of Muscle Fish: Fish-a-ganza?

I'd feel lucky to claim any one of those!

I, for one, am really glad we did this interview.

We never would have known any of this!

Yeah! You should hang with us sometime!

For real! I could use another girl in the group.

[laughs]

Actually, that sounds fun, thanks.

I called my mom, it's all good!

Only the first floor was flooded.

Guys, I gotta... my fly might be down and I need to check!

Aw, yeah. This is so my area.

Oh! Ah, yeah. Ha. [grunts]

[lasers powering down]

[Rusty screams]

Rusty, what is it?!

[Rusty] Issue is guarded

by a ginormous spider!!

Critters are my territory. I got this.

I'm back.

My fly was totally busted, so I improvised.

Your Dad has style.

Those are my mom's.

Uh, hey, Rusty, you film.

My bladder's fixin' to burst!

[growls]

Hey, little feller.

Goochy-goochy-goo. Aren't you cute?

[Liam] Huh? Ow! Ow!

Don't you bite me![screams]

What's going on?

Uh, nothing! Nothing at all.

Maybe put that back where you found it.

[Liam] Oops! Hope Kara didn't hear me hollerin'

while I'm back here snooping around her secret room!

Wait! We can explain!

[screams] Huh?

Shh. It's okay.

Why are you stealing my turkey sandwich?

Your what? Wait... so you set up all this security

to protect a sandwich?

Yeah! My little brother always takes my snacks.

Oh, I get it now.

You were snooping for the comic

and the interview was just a way to distract me.

You didn't really want to get to know me.

Wow... just wow...

[melancholy music playing]

[everyone gasps]

Well, here it is.

-Whoa! -Whoa!

I would have let you read it.

I only said no to Rusty because he has cheesy fingers.

[slurping sounds]

And Zach was sneezing on everything!

Achoo!

Go ahead and read it.

Just leave me alone after you do.

And you two, wash your hands first!

Kara, wait!

You can stop pretending you want to be my friend.

We can't let this happen.

[munching]

Hey, Kara.

We don't care about issue anymore.

We're really sorry we hurt your feelings.

Yeah, and it's true that we tricked you.

But after two minutes, we knew we wanted to be your friend.

Can we have another chance?

We have so much in common! Please say yes!

[school bell ringing]

The Action News Team went behind the scenes

with new girl Kara, owner of the David Steele

missing issue ... but turns out,

that's not close to the coolest thing about her.

She's got a mean slap shot,

and writes page-turning comics.

And you don't want to mess with her,

because she's really good at booby traps...

Mom! Kara netted me again!

[Lincoln] The highlight of getting to know Kara

is she's now our friend!

Thanks, you guys.

K-Dawg, now that we're buds, mind if I grab your tots?

[growls]

[Rusty gasps and screams]

[everyone laughs]

[jaunty music playing]

[jaunty music fades]

Nice work, Fiona.

But I like my display bottles slightly askew.

[whimsical music playing]

Please, as if anyone's gonna...

Actually... I see the vision.

Sorry I'm being so picky.

Ever since I started working the fragrance counter,

I've dreamed of selling my own perfume.

Now that I have the chance, I want it to be a hit!

Thanks for this opportunity, Ms. Carmichael!

Oh, my pleasure, Miguel!

Here at Reininger's, we like to empower our employees

by investing in their dreams.

As long as those dreams make us lots of money.

[chuckles nervously] Well, you know what they say.

Smells sell!

If yours doesn't, you can always help me

replace every light bulb in the store.

Did you know we have different types of bul--

[bulb breaks]

Welp, now. Back to work!

I hereby officially launch...

Swell by Miguel!

The perfume that's like a beach party in your nostrils.

[poof]

Swell is meant to evoke a Lake Michigan sea breeze.

[sniffs, gags and coughs]

More like an aging Michigan cheese!

Miguel, I love ya. But this ain't it.

Hmm...

-[sniffs, grunts] -[shattering]

Oof!

[gagging and coughing]

Oh, come on! It's not that bad.

Hi! How's your perfume drop?

Is everyone under your Swell spell?

The Swell sell is not going well!

[sniffing] Ah...

Ooh, honey, whatever you got on smells sweeter

than a piece of pecan pie huggin' a sugar cookie!

Mm-hmm.

Thanks! It's a mix of face creams and other stuff.

Well, I'd buy a whole mess of whatever that is!

Hm. So... Leni, how would you like

to help a bestie and go into business with me?

With your scent and my knowledge of the perfume game,

-we'd make a great- -I'm in!

You had me at bestie... bestie!

Okay! First step in perfume making,

secure safety goggles.

Oh! Adorbs!

We need to replicate exactly what you were wearing yesterday.

Um, I had on a lavender face cream.

Oh! A cinnamon bark serum.

And coconut sunscreen!

Hm. Something's missing. Maybe if you walk me

through your day, we can figure out what it is.

Well, I started my morning with an acai smoothie.

Great! It must've been coming through your pores!

Oh, then my Dad made me Pad Thai for lunch!

Perfect! Lemongrass and peppercorns going in!

On my way to work, I walked through a food fight

at Spaghetti on a Stick!

Hm.

Definitely pomodoro sauce.

Diced tomatoes and basil, going in!

[sniffs and sighs]

We're still missing something!

I need you to put on your thinking cap.

Will a beret work?

Focus, Leni, focus!

Mm. Uh...

[sweat drops]

[poof]

[sniffs]

That's the scent! Leni, we did it!

The missing ingredient must've been--

-Friendship! -Your sweat!

Oh. That makes more sense.

In honor of your perspiration, we'll call this...

Lenergy!

O-M-Gosh, I love it!

I just hope other people do too.

-I need a bottle! -I need two!

-I want one. -I need it to bathe in it!

[overlapping clamor]

[whistles]

We only have one bottle left!

[overlapping clamor]

You people reek of desperation!

I'll take that.

That's a wrap.

This batch of Lenergy is sold out!

-[customers shouting angrily] -I said, we're sold out!

[spray spritzing]

[gagging, thudding]

Oh! Looks like your perfume was a smash hit!

Can I put in an order?

Well sure, Ms. C.

What should I put you down for? bottles, , ?!

Ten thousand.

I'd love them by the end of the week.

Ten thousand?!

That's like... a million bottles!

Looks like I'll be handling the accounting.

So, I ran the math.

And if we're gonna complete Ms. C's order,

we need enough of your sweat to fill up this fishbowl

I got from the Reininger's clearance rack.

Well, luckily, today is my workout day.

So we can start now!

Oh, I can tag along and be your gym buddy!

Love this for us!

[Leni panting]

Push it, Leni! Push it real good!

[Leni yelps]

[sweat dripping]

[upbeat music playing]

And... break!

[sweat dripping]

[panting and groaning]

Yes, girl! You're crushing this!

[Leni pants]

[panting] Phew!

Nice start! We gotta keep you sweating.

Should we power walk? Hit a sauna?

Power walk in a sauna?

How about we stop?

Huh? Ms. C needs those , bottles in a few days.

We only have enough sweat for like, ,.

I'm supes sorry, Miguel. I just can't keep this up.

I'm exhausted!

Okay. Well, maybe Ms. C will be cool

with half the order.

We should go break the news to her though.

[Leni snores]

[lullaby playing]

Um, Ms. C, you up there?

So, quick update.

I know you wanted , bottles of Lenergy,

but... how does , bottles sound?

No, no, no, Miguel.

I already have pre-orders for all , bottles!

Do you remember the denim scent, Smells like Jean Spirit?

That's because the creator couldn't deliver

the bottles he promised his customers.

After that, no one took him seriously.

He was finished. Kaput!

Okay, this is a perfu-mergency!

I need to get more sweat from Leni or I'm finished!

Good morning, bestie!

Morning, bestie!

[keypad beeping]

O-M-Gosh, is it hot in here?

I'm like totes swimming in sweat!

Oh, I hadn't noticed.

I run cold, so I'm as comfy as can be! [laughs]

Napkin?

[whimsical music playing]

[sweat dripping]

-Thanks for bringing us lunch. -Oh, my pleasure.

I love making gorditas for my gal pals!

Bon appetit!

[munching]

[Leni whimpers]

Leni, are you okay?

I think she just needs a napkin.

[sweat dripping]

Leni! Just who I've been looking for.

You mind modeling this athleisure wear

for this customer?

Actually, I was gonna take a break--

Leni, you know the Reininger's motto:

breaking is flaking!

Here, put on this jacket... and headband.

Don't forget the wool earmuffs!

You can demonstrate how well the athleisure wear functions

when you're exercising.

[panting]

Yes! There we go.

That's the stuff! What do you think?

I-- I just came in for some pantyhose.

[panting]

[sighs]

Morning, Fiona. Have you seen Leni?

I brought her a heat lamp.

It's supposed to be amaze for your skin.

Ugh. Miguel. You didn't hear?

Leni's at the hospital!

-She's-- -What?! The hospital?!

O-M-Gosh. What have I done?

[panting]

Hi. I need to see Leni Loud, stat!

The woman from Reininger's.

No, no, no! Sweet, sweet Leni... look at what I did to you!

[groaning]

Shh. I gotta get something off my chest. [inhales]

I've been secretly making you sweat

so I could fulfill the rest of Ms. C's Lenergy order.

[Leni] You've been doing what?!

-Leni! You're okay! -Obvi!

Can't say the same for Ms. C.

She fell off her ladder changing light bulbs.

[Ms. C groans]

Oh, thank goodness!

I mean, sorry, Ms. C! Hope you feel better soon!

Leni, look... I should've never taken advantage of you.

This is like, really hurtful, Miguel.

I know. I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.

I'm hoping this is a start.

It's your sweat.

Oh, and ew.

I'm not gonna use it. I've decided to put in the work

and remake my original scent, Swell.

Good for you, Miguel.

I know you're gonna do great things!

Oh, Leni! You're like the best bestie

a guy could... [sniffles] ...ever ask for! [sobs]

[tear dripping]

[majestic music playing]

[sniffs] Miguel, your perfume--

-Oh, I know, it smells foul. -No. It's amaze!

Your tears! They fell into the bottle.

They must be the secret ingredient, like my sweat!

[sniffs]

[sniffs] Oh! I'd definitely buy that!

Ow, ow, ow!

[Miguel crying]

-Aw, Miguel... are you okay? -Oh, I'm fine.

I'm trying to make myself cry

by watching my favorite romantic movie.

I need tears for my new scent... Cheers for Tears.

Do me a solid and grab me the fish bowl?

Thanks, bestie.
