 	SCENE 2 	Oscar gives it one last shot: he tells bath-hungry Irvine that bubbles come from soap, which makes you clean and smell sweet. Gordon gives her a bar of soap to observe, so that she can see (and smell) how clean it is. The smell makes her sick, and Oscar thinks he has succeeded.
 	SCENE 2cont'd 	Just then, Stinky calls Gordon from a restaurant, and requests that Gordon bring him to Oscar's trash can, because he has a surprise for Oscar and Irvine. They both become curious about what it is ...

 	SCENE 3 	Gordon brings Stinky to Oscar's trash can, and before Stinky reveals his surprise, he explains that a while ago, he grew a very smelly flower (as seen in a flashback), which was a major disappointment for him. But then he realized that maybe this smell of his could have some use for grouches, and he ended up authorizing the use of his smell for a new grouch bubble bath, "Bubble Blecch." Oscar and Irvine love the smell of it, and Irvine wants to be bathed in it, so Oscar gives his okay this time.

 	SCENE 5 	Irvine gets in the tub, and Oscar empties all the Bubble Blecch into it.

Irvine enjoys getting scrubbed by Gordon and playing with her Rubber Yucky. Oscar gets splattered with stinky foam and remarks, "Maybe taking a bath isn't so bad after all."
