==Synopsis==
Jessa's cousin Thomas Seaton, better known as Tommy Trouble, is coming to Sideview Beach ant the kids aren't quite ready with this. Tommy has always been wrecking havoc with them when they first met him (this shouldn't happen to the little butterfly fairies some time). Is there the kids can get him to act kinder? Well, maybe Rose and Petunia have an idea…
==Plot==
At the community park in Sideview Beach, the kids felt rather bored, having nothing to do so far, until Jessa informed her friends that her cousin Thomas Seaton is coming to Sideview Beach.
The kids are shocked, since they realized that the person is Tommy Trouble, who always causes trouble with them. They see Tommy and his parents walking in the park and Jessa ran to hug him, not having seen him for ages. The kids didn't know Tommy being Jessa's cousin and Tommy pops up. 
The kids went to Jessa's house and greet the Seaton family. Minerva and Horace hugged Tommy, while crying in joy, since they've never met him for a really long time too. The kids discuss on the latest.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, the butterfly fairies are having a special occasion on the inauguration of the Butterfly Kingdom's first prime minister Thomas E. Duff at the courtyard of the Celestial Palace. Bluebell went to take some chocolate cake.
Princess Butterfly makes a statement that the Butterfly Kingdom will have a prime minister for the very first time since the Butterfly Kingdom was formed, bewildering the butterfly fairies as they never know that it'll have a new governing system.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards are spying on the butterfly fairies through the monitors. Queen Peregia came and checks fit they found any ingredients for the curing potion for her husband.
Duff came to declare to be glad he became the prime minister and the butterfly fairies cheer for him. The troll guards witness this from far apart and crawl under the stage platform. They try to disconnect the plug from the microphone, but they got electrocuted.
The troll guards hide under Bluebell's table, while she gets some more orange juice. She returned to the table and heard some strange laughter. She lifts up the cloth and finds some troll guard underneath the table. She freaks out and almost fall over her chair, but she saves herself using her manipulating spell.
The other troll guards began to assault the butterfly fairies, leading to Duff calling the Royal Butterfly Army to attack the trolls offstage, which turns into a brief war between butterfly fairies and trolls.
Rose's magic flower glows, signaling her that Butterfly Valley is in danger, but Rose thought she wanted the butterfly fairies to meet a new human friend, who happens to be Tommy, so she asks her friends, Minerva, Horace and Petunia to hold her hand, but Tommy initially refused to do so, but reluctantly did as she uses the magic flower to enter the Butterfly Kingdom.
The kids ended up near the site of the inauguration of prime minister Duff and look around Butterfly Valley. The kids began to give Tommy a tour over Butterfly Valley as Jessa tries to show him the landmarks, including the Eternal Fountain at the Butterfly Square, the Monument of the Millennium, and the Celestial Palace, but Tommy decides to mess with the butterfly fairies at Famous Pizzas.
The kids follow Tommy and stop him from entering Famous Pizzas, but Tommy tells the kids to look left and goes to the Mall of Chrysalis at the right. The kids look back and realize he's now gone. They look for him across Butterfly Valley, then Jessa points to the right and the kids went to the Mall of Chrysalis. The kids asks the security guard if they can enter the mall and he allows them.
Inside the Mall of Chrysalis, Rose requests the other kids to split into groups of three and they agree with her. Mackenzie joins Rose and Petunia, Chip and Sam side with Cally, Jessa helps Brad and Celia and the Seaton siblings work together, while Rose commissions Tammi, Rhonda, Asmyra and Timmy to clean any mess if Tommy. Ernie gives the kids a set walkie talkies to keep in touch with each other and radars to track down Tommy, while he goes to consult with the police officers.
The kids went to search for Tommy across the Mall of Chrysalis. Rose, Petunia and Mackenzie enter a beauty store and he's not her. Celia, Brad and Jessa went inside a Chinese restaurant named "Jia Xin Delights", but he's also not here. Chip, Sam and Cally head to the grocery store, but they couldn't find him either. The Seaton siblings go to a toy store named "Mr. Patches' Playful Workshop" and Minerva points out Tommy to her siblings.
Tammi, Rhonda, Asmyra and Timmy came and found Tommy too. Horace quickly went to a nearby fishing store to buy a big fish net, so he can capture Timmy. The Seaton siblings set up a trap for Tommy, while Rhonda, Asmyra and Timmy clean up the mess as Tammi consults with the security guard. Tommy walked onto the "X" Jessa painted over and Horace throws the fish net on him. The other kids came and found Tommy in the fish net.
After removing the fish net from Tommy, the kids are about to leave the Mall of Chrysalis, but then Rose hears screaming from outside, so the kids went to the courtyard of the Celestial Palace to find out that the troll guards are attacking the butterfly fairies. Rose requests her friends to evacuate, while she and Petunia fight against the trolls.
The twins help the butterfly fairy soldiers finish off the troll guards with their attacking spells. The troll guards retreat afterwards as the soldiers thank the twins for their help. Duff came and congratulated the twins, whom he mistaken them as butterfly fairies, but Petunia stops him to recognize her and Rose properly.
Duff realized his mistake and the other kids came to the twins. Sam points out Duff and the kids wondered who he is. Duff introduces himself to the kids and Princess Butterfly came to remind them that the Butterfly Kingdom has a new governing system for the very first time since its creation. The kids are surprises about this and bid fare well to Butterfly and Duff.
The now-hungry kids went to Jia Xin Delights at the Mall of Chrysalis for a parent-free dinner, where Tommy apologizes to the kids for what he had done earlier. The kids forgive him and a qipao-clad waitress came with their dishes, but Petunia asks where are the dumplings she ordered and the waitress gives her a handful. Petunia realizes this and thanks the waitress for the offer.
The kids enjoy their meal, then Bluebell and her family came and sit at the next table. The kids, along with the family, enjoy their meals, with Spike gouging on a lot of dumplings, but Bluebell tells him to mind his table manners and Spike apologizes to her.
The kids have their tummies full and Brad pays at the counter. The kids bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and leave the restaurant. Tommy thank the kids for helping him act kinder.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards report to Queen Peregia about their failure to find the ingredients for King Boogieman's curing potion. Peregia gets upset, but then a troll guard reminds her that there's now a prime minister in the Butterfly Kingdom. Peregia realized that, now with prime minister, it would've been harder for the trolls to attack the Butterfly Kingdom.
The trolls soon think of another plan to get the ingredients for the curing potion, this time without the prime minister catching them red-handed.
The kids bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and return home using Rose's magic flower. The kids are still intrigued with the new governing system of the Butterfly Kingdom. They thought Princess Butterfly still commands all of the armed services, but she steps out her role to prime minister Duff.
Tommy notices an ice cream stand and runs to get some cones of ice cream for his new friends. The kids thank Tommy for the ice creams and being such a gentleman, then Rhonda kisses his cheek, causing him to blush and the kids laugh as the episode ends.
==Trivia==
*This is the first episode where the Butterfly Kingdom is depicted as a constitutional monarchy, rather than a absolute monarchy as in the last ninety-eight episodes of the 1998 series, which means prime minister Thomas E. Duff makes his first appearance. This never happened in the 1969 series.
*This is the first time any relative of Rose and Petunia's close friends enter the Butterfly Kingdom. In this episode, Jessa' siblings and cousin Tommy went to the country with the other kids.
*King Boogieman does not appear in this episode, due to him becoming ill after accidentally drinking a maximum sickness potion at the end of "Grown Lucky", although he was mentioned by Queen Peregia in a few scenes.
**He would not be seen for the remainder of the fourth season and nearly the entirety of the fifth season until his brief revival in "Bitter Trust This."
**The reason for Boogieman's absence is due to head writer Mike Mullock disliking the character, since he thought Queen Peregia was a better antagonist for the show, so he requested Julie Kaplan to write him out of the story for the rest of the series.
