Episode 2310

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar and Grundgetta prepare to watch the Amazing Mumford perform a Grouch magic trick he learned from the Great Trasherini. Gordon, though he is about to leave with Susan on a date, agrees to assist in the trick as Mumford changes lovely-looking shapes into Grouchy ones. His attempt at changing a circle seems to fail, until they see the trick has made Gordon a Grouch instead! Mumford heads to the library to find something to reverse the trick, while Oscar and Grundgetta get acquainted with the new Gordon.

He begins to rummage through it and finds some discarded letter M cards (a favorite letter to Grouches since it begins "mud").

 	SCENE 3 	Gordon and Grundgetta continue rummaging through the trash. They begin to admire an old tin can when Susan, Oscar, and Mumford all return. Grundgetta appears to be the only one who wants Gordon to stay like this, but Mumford tries out his new magic words to fix everything. He manages to fix the old tin can and Gordon's letter Ms like new, but Gordon remains the same. Mumford repeats his magic words with an even grouchier tone and this finally turns Gordon back to normal... but now Oscar has become a proper gentleman! Grundgetta starts calling for Mumford when Oscar suggests she wear a gardenia in her hair.
