When Flint decided to fly up to reach the FLDSMDFR using the Flying Car II, Manny volunteered to be a pilot. "I am also a particle physicist," he deadpanned, before clarifying that "no, that was a joke. I am also a comedian." In the skies, Manny proved himself to be a capable pilot, with Flint admitting "you're a lot better than me." Manny was able to retrieve Sam and Brent from the Meat-a-roid before it exploded and returned them safely to the ground.

When Flint and Sam designed Sparkswood, Manny volunteered to help in any way that he could. After being relocated to San Franjose, Manny found employment as a veterinarian, with job duties such as helping a cow deliver her calf. However, he remained loyal to Flint, willing to drop everything (including the newborn calf) to return to Swallow Falls.
Manny continued to be of invaluable assistance on the island, even cooking his famous "Gorilla Stew" for the gang. He also pieced together that the Foodimals had attacked because they had knowledge of Live Corp that Flint did not, turning the Live Corp logo backwards to reveal the word "Evil."
