Max follows Quetzal and Cassie's advice on finding activities that everyone can do together or asking for some alone time with Emmy, but Max continues to feel excluded. Finally, as Max is moping around waiting for Enrique and Emmy to return so that he can ride the giant twisty slide, Ord tells Max that he doesn't have to wait for them to have fun. Max decides to go on the slide all by himself, and before long, he is joined by the entire gang as they enjoy the twisty slide all together! Team Work - While searching for Giggle Flowers, Zak and Wheezie happenupon a Stinkydink Bug, who sprays them with his bad smelling vapor. After blaming each other for their predicament, they decide to wash up in the river. Zak places both of their badges on what looks like rock. It turns out to be Speedy the Turtle. Speedy, repulsed by the lingering Stinkydink smell, attempts to escape it by walking away- unaware that the contaminated badges are on top of his shell. Zak and Wheezie try to catch up to Speedy, but their bickering wastes time and Speedy makes it across the river and into the Forest of Darkness. To get their badges back, the two must work together and make their badges shine in the dark so they can spot Speedy. With support from the gang, Zak and Wheezie finally listen to each other long enough to make their plan work. The badges are back where they belong!
