== Plot ==
One day in Hell, all of the monsters (including Milo) were working on a bridge that would help inhabitants cross to the other side when needed. However, one monster by the name of Hector Garbell was being lazy so Lucifer ordered him to go get more woods. While he was about to chop down a tree, a white bee flew around him and he shooed it away but when he wasn't looking, it stung him from behind, causing him to turn white.
Lucifer, assuming that Hector is sleeping on the job, ordered Milo, Phil and Jill to go find him and make sure he's okay but when the three found him in his white state, they ran to Lucifer and told him what happened, which caused him to realize that Hector was stung by a white bee. They eventually found that Hector went to town but when they got there, they found him already trussed up by the other monster and they took him back to his home.
Hector was struggling in his ropes until he managed to break free and when he slowly opened the door, he found Perry Mickie standing guard. While Lucifer was explaining to Milo about the white disease, they heard Perry's cries when they ran to see that he's been bitten by his tail but ran away from him when he turned white and hopped away to the forest with Hector, saying "Pako".
Lucifer called all of the monsters (and Milo) and announced that his scientist Dr. Melinda Morestan has created a possible antidote for the white monsters but in order to make sure it works, she needs a white monster to test it on so Wendy, Gombo, Phil, Jill and Milo volunteered to catch one. The trio decided to split up to catch one but after Gombo found Hector, he chased him but got himself trussed up after tripping over a rock, leading him to get bitten by Perry (which turned him into a white monster) and Jill taking him to Melinda to see if her antidote can cure him.
While at Melinda's lab, she shot the antidote at Gombo's mouth when she asked Phil to stomp on his tail to make him yell but it only made him bounce around until he tired out. Melinda, seeing that he's still white, chosed to make another antidote while Wendy offered to take him home but while she wasn't looking, Gombo regained conscious and bit her on the tail, causing her to turn white and bite Molly, turning her white as well.
Lillith, witnessing this, called a town meeting and told everyone that they must find the cure or everyone will turn white so when Melinda came to the meeting with a new antidote, she needs some volunteers to catch a white monster to see if this will work, everyone was reluctant to do so she picked Milo, Phil and Jill to catch one.
After catching Perry, Melinda poured the antidote to see if it will cure him but not only is he still white, he broke out of his ropes, causing Milo, Phil, Jill, Melinda, Lillith, Lucifer and Kakia to run out of Melinda's lab while everyone that was in there got turned white.
Melinda, not wanting everyone to go extinct, decided that they must find the bee that turned Hector white and study it to see if something can "unwhite" it so they went to the forest and saw many bees until a white bee tried to sting Terro but Lillith caught it in a jar before it could.
Back at Melinda's lab, Melinda, feeling that she has failed Lucifer, fed the white bee some Helluvino pollens so she could get some rest but when it sniffed it, it turned her red, which meant that Melinda found the cure so she assembled the inhabitants to go around the forest and find as many Helluvino pollens as they can while trying to avoid getting bitten by any of the white monsters. Meanwhile, Perry, having heard what Melinda has said, snuck into her lab, grabbed some paint and painted himself green to avoid getting turned to normal.
Everyone that has yet to turn white, now armed with pollen-filled bellowers, marched outside and saw that the white monsters are coming to town so they aim and fired at all of them but each one they turned back to normal, they get turned back into white monsters until Milo is the only one left and is out of pollen.
Milo, needing more pollen, ran to Melinda's lab to get more but when he reached the lab, Perry ambushed him but hit one of Melinda's candles which caused the curtains to be set on fire. As Milo hopelessly tried to put out the fire, Perry bit him on his leg, causing Milo himself to turn white but it was cut short when the fire collided with the jar of pollen, causing Melinda's lab to explode and everyone to turn back to normal thanks to the pollen-created fog.
Milo ran to everyone and said that he's glad that everything is back to normal before Lucifer reminded him that they still need to finish the bridge so they decided to forget what just happened and resume their progress on the bridge while Lucifer sent some of the Monsters to go and rebuild Melinda's lab.
