**Plants vs. Zombies Plush: Peashooter and Paco's Adventure- Factory** is the eighteenth episode of Plants vs. Zombies Plush: Peashooter and Paco's Adventure. It aired on January 31, 2021.

## Synopsis

It's finally time for the "final" level! Peashooter and Paco find the factory at long last, where they find an ARMY of Zombies! Even a few enemy rushes will be thrown against Peashooter and Paco! Will they survive the onslaught of zombies? Or will they become a part of the assembly line?

## Plot

Peashooter & Paco are outside the gate to the factory, and Paco believes the level will be difficult, due to a broken flowerpot she notices. Peashooter then says it seems like forever since they started their quest for the crystals, and if Arnold, the Yeti & Bellsprout couldn't stop them, then whatever is in the factory can't either. With that, they enter the factory and Peashooter wonders where the zombies are (while Paco notes the large amount of exercise equipment). Gong appears and summons Boomer, but the plants manage to defeat both Kung-Fu zombies. Next up is Danny Boy, and he uses his magic to summon a Pirate Minion and The Zombie That Moves His Head. Danny then tells Peashooter there is nothing he can do to beat him, unless he pays him $5.99. Peashooter refuses this and is promptly attacked, but Danny is unable to defeat him. Meanwhile, Paco defeats the Pirate, but the other zombie flees, summoning Buckethead in the process. The mummy is confused as to what he is doing there, and decides to ask Paco, adding "oh, it's you." Paco becomes upset that he doesn't know how "fabulous" she is, and he gives reasons why as she attacks him. Peashooter then blasts him a few times, taking him down. Peashooter says she can thank him for the save, and comments on it getting, dark, hoping they can beat the zombies before then. However, Guitar Guy & Breakdancer Zombie appear, with the music causing Paco to dance, as Peashooter battles them. Eventually, the two zombies have an argument, giving Peashooter the opening to defeat them. Paco is exhausted, when Factor & Reginald von Hoofenberger appear and, to her surprise, eat Peashooter. The cactus laments her friend's death, feeling they were supposed to finish the quest together, but deciding to fight, no matter how weak she is. However, the Zombie That Moves His Head pushes a switch that causes Paco to disappear. With them gone, Factor celebrates the end of Peashooter noting they can leave happily (while Reginald comments on his voice).

Paco ends up in another room and is addressed by a mysterious voice, who tells her she is in the "EEE Rumpus Room." Several EEEs appear, and she is told to defeat all of them to regain Peashooter. Despite the large number of the mini zombies (including mini versions of Coney, Duckweed, Danny Boy & Mugalo) Paco manages to defeat them all, and is given a restored and healed Peashooter, leading to them heading back into the factory itself.

The two plants return to the previous room and use a double rapid fire attack to take care of Zombie That Moves His Head and Reginald. However Factor sniffs some nearby plants (after commenting about plants being in the factory in the first place) and "powers up," proving a challenge. Paco then sniffs one of the plants, which gives her fire powers, allowing her to defeat Factor. Peashooter comments on the factory making "power mints," though Paco claims the one labeled "Aloe Vera" is not considered a mint, and they can be used for power-ups. Just then, Robbie & Sun Zombie appear, but are felled when Paco sniffs a Power Mint to get ice powers, and by Peashooter, respectively. Peashooter replies that the challenge will be easy, before hearing the announcement of a huge wave of zombies approaching, but Paco is unconcerned, since they have the power-ups. Indeed, they make quick work of Mugalo, Jim & another Pirate Minion, so Ducktube activates a switch, which Paco wonders what it's for, but Peashooter doesn't care, since they have the powerups. Using them, the plants defeat Imp #2, All-Star, & Hambone, but before they can attack a second Imp, they both start to feel ill. Ducktube laughs at them and explains the factory has more secrets than they think, and Paco asks if a balloon is one of them. Shooting the balloon releases Bursa, a mucus themed plant (who Paco thinks is gross) who uses his Mucus Bombs to take out the imp; Ducktube begins to rant about how things go bad for him before he is blasted as well, which causes him to leave, telling the plants they can "go suck an egg." Bursa offers to do something to fix their poisoning, suggesting they move around and leave the plants. Peashooter agrees, wondering who would want to watch them sitting around anyway before Slim & a Neon Mixtape Zombie attack, with Bursa blasting the latter. The plants eventually fight off Slim and an interfering Bonko, with one of the Mummies poisoning himself by sniffing the same plant, causing Peashooter to note they have the same effect on both plants & zombies. Dark Wizard then appears and uses a fire blast, but Bursa moves Peashooter out of the way and takes the blast himself, and disappears. Peashooter then notices Dark Wizard (whom he hasn't seen in a while) and defeats him (as he is admiring some tools).

The zombies continue to come, with more Pirate Minions, Pete, Diez & Sam Sneak attacking, and the two plants fighting them off. Next are Chilly & Noodle, with the latter asking what he's supposed to do to fight, allowing Paco to easily take him out before he can do anything. After Paco takes down Chilly, Dark Spud Potato appears, but Peashooter notes he's going the wrong way, which leads the two into a discussion about him being "toxic," allowing Peashooter to beat him. Next to appear is Rolly, but he is upstaged when Coney announces his presence. Rolly asks who Coney is and he claims he is "you, but stronger" saying he's the only one who would have the idea to use him as a rolling log, which he does, singing a parody of the "Barrell Roll" song. The plants move to attack him, but Coney pushes a nearby button.

This transports them to the Toxic Waste Dump, with Coney appearing, introducing himself as their host, "the man they call ghost" ("nobody calls you that"). He runs off to activate the toxic waste, and tries to summon the boss theme, but Peashooter tells him he doesn't deserve it, as he's not a boss; however, Coney gets him to agree to let him be a "glorified enemy rush" and cues this theme before he leaves, causing Peashooter to comment on how dumb he is. The toxic waste is then activated and Paco is doused with it, leading Coney to return to fight Peashooter; knowing how Paco saved him, Peashooter decides to repay the favor. He battles Coney, who summons 2 Pirate Minions for backup, but they are easily defeated. However, he is soon cornered by the remaining mummies, while checking on Paco; seeing a balloon above, he blasts it, as Coney tries to hit him with the toxic waste and ends up hitting his mummies by mistake. Thankfully, the balloon contained Gatling Pea, who blasts Coney before reconnecting with Peashooter, saying Paco will be okay after some Plant Food. Gatling Pea then takes out some more pirate zombies, leading Coney to confront him and chastise him for ruining his boss fight/enemy rush, leading to Gatling Pea taking him out (though he is happy to receive a "Coney defeated" announcement). Gatling Pea leaves to go back to the factory while Peashooter checks on Paco and leaves her to rest.

Back in the factory, Gatling Pea asks if Peashooter is ready to fight by his side, and he is, as they take on the final wave of zombies. The wave includes Flagman, Newspaper (who quickly flees when he sees Gatling Pea), Norm, another Neon Mixtape Zombie, Chinese Spear Zombie?, Mallet, Ra, Bolbi, Wilhelm, & Big Daddy Long Johns, whom they all defeat rather easily, though the latter takes some time. Gatling Pea then praises Peashooter for effectively handling Big Daddy before the "Boss Fight" theme is played, causing Gatling Pea to be removed from the room.

A mysterious voice greets Peashooter, and he recognizes it as Gnomus the Red. However, before he can do anything, a large hand grabs him and takes him away. Back in the Toxic Waste area, Paco has recovered from her poisoning, only to find Peashooter gone. She too is then grabbed by the mysterious hand and taken away. The two are dropped into a carpeted room, where Gnomus introduces himself as their opponent, mentioning that he has never seen plants that considered themselves treasure hunters before. With that, he begins to battle Peashooter, as the other gnomes look on. Since peas have no effect on him, Peashooter uses his Vine Whip attack and eventually defeats the gnome leader. However, Gnomus quickly recovers and reminds them it wouldn't be that easy, and they haven't seen the last of the gnomes. With that, he grabs both plants and spirits them away.

Gnomus takes them to a darkened room, where the Boss Battle theme plays. Both plants claim they knew Gnomus was up to something, before Head Zombie reveals himself, claiming that he hired Gnomus. Paco replies that she wondered where HZ had been, while he asks if they like his new machine. After Paco asks him to explain himself, Head Zombie reveals that the Z Crystals could make Zomboss go insane or into a bloodthirsty rampage if not used carefully, so he hired the Gnomes to get them since he felt it was the best way to keep Zomboss from befalling that fate. Head Zombie asks for their help to destroy the crystals, but Paco refuses, since she still wants her million dollars, despite Peashooter trying to convince her otherwise. Before HZ can finish, Gnomus turns on him and reveals the Z Crystal, then brings forth Giga Duckweed to attack the plants. With Head Zombie attacking Paco, the giant Duckweed goes after Peashooter and manages to begin attacking him. Hiding for cover, Paco suggests the need for a balloon with an extra plant, but Gnomus reveals he designed the room so nothing gets in or out, meaning no aid for them. As things look dire for the heroes, Gnomus summons his fellow gnomes to watch his victory, and they congratulate him on finally defeating the plants. However, Paco realizes one of the gnomes is missing, just as Sandus opens the door to offer them sandwiches or fish, before Gnomus orders him to close the door. The other gnomes welcome Sandus and tell him they are watching Peashooter get annihilated, while Jeff mentions he saw a plant in the hall getting into a balloon, which Peashooter overhears, feeling that might be his last chance to win. Meanwhile, Paco disables Head Zombie's jet, but he detaches part of it and continues after her. However, the cactus notices the balloon and Peashooter pops it, getting Hypno Shroom, which disappoints both plants, but Gnomus is happy since he considers the plant useless. Hypno Shroom notes she can't do much, but suggests her mistress can, though Paco is against the idea, Peashooter decides to go for it. Hypno Shroom sneaks behind Gnomus and steals the Z Crystal, though dropping it and drawing the gnome leader's attention; when he asks what she plans to do with it, she replies "something psychedelic" and manages to resurrect the Royal Hypno Flower, to the dismay of both plants.

RF asks Peashooter what he summoned her for, and he points out the Gnomes and Giga Duckweed, and she uses her hypnotism powers on them (except Sandus, who is already out of it). Head Zombie, meanwhile, recovers after his vehicle was blown was up due to the use of the Z Crystal, then promptly flees upon seeing the Royal Hypno Flower back again. RHF then has the hypnotized gnomes and large zombie attack Gnomus, with Peashooter reluctantly thanking her. She then offers to blow them up, though Paco persuades her to spare Giga Duckweed by claiming they are saving him to defeat later. The blast ends up scattering the Gnomes and blowing up Gnomus, though not before he vows they haven't seen the last of them. With Gnomus gone, the Giga Duckweed reverts back to his smaller self, and is told to go home, but not before he gives the plants the Z Crystal, (which he mistakes for a piece of rock candy). Paco & Peashooter celebrate getting the last crystal, and Hypno Shroom notes it couldn't have happened without her mistress. Royal Hypno Flower then says she must be going and a voice tells her that her time among the living is up, so she disappears "in the nether." Peashooter questions Hypno Shroom about this, who quickly dismisses it and leaves, and the other two promise never to talk about it again.

Back with the other plants, they bring the crystal and celebrate, with Sunflower hugging Peashooter, and Chomper congratulating them as well. Wall-nut is given the crystal and analyzes it, unable to determine it's origins, only admitting it seems "interesting." With that done, Wall-nut places it with the others, and Sun-Shroom and Pitaya comment on having all of the crystals. Peashooter & Paco reply that they couldn't have done it without help from their fellow plants, before Citron interrupts and reveals there is a message for Paco from someone named N. Brio ("(gasps) Paco's moolah!"). Paco contacts N. Brio via laptop who congratulates her on collecting all of the crystals, leading Chomper to comment on his ugliness (before learning it is not a pre-recorded message, meaning Brio can hear him). Brio then instructs her to bring the crystals to the theater for her reward, and Sunflower & Chomper offer to come along, since they don't know if Brio is up to anything. Before Peashooter can say anything, Paco grabs the plants and leaves to get her money. Mac & the others watch them leave, and Wall-nut suggests they should come along, with Crazy Dave telling his plants to move out.
