The Cone Of Shame

## Synopsis

Mike is advised to wear a cone to stop his scratching, which makes him saving his house from the raccoons a lot harder.

## Plot

The episode starts out as Stephan trying to get a cone on Mike's head to stop him from scratching. Mike trots over to a mirror and envisions himself struggling to eat food with the cone on and everyone laughing at him. Mike then tries to get the cone off, to no avail and falls on his head. He then sees Freddy and Mercury sneaking around his house. Mercury laughs at Mike because Mike is stuck on his head because of the cone. Mercury then alerts Freddy that Mike is stuck and can't protect the house. Freddy laughs and both the raccoons start stealing stuff from the home and run away. Mike starts barking, still on his head. When Mike barks though, he moves a bit. Mike keeps on barking and he eventually falls off a set of tiny stairs into the living room. Back onto his feet, Mike gives chase on the raccoons, but his cone is blocking him from going outside where the raccoons are. Mike improvises, and finally gets out of the house. When he gets back onto his feet, he sees Freddy and Mercury eating food and wearing luxury clothing. When Mike gives chase to stop them, Freddy whistles over at Iris, catching her attention. When Iris looks, Mike stops in his tracks because he doesn't want to be embarrassed with the cone over his head. Mike runs behind a wall and inside. The raccoons laugh as Iris lays down in her sun chair. Inside, Mike finds a remote controller and starts controlling a drone. The drone attacks the raccoons, knocking Freddy off of the table. The drone attacks once more, this time shaving off Freddy's tail hair. The drone comes back again and attacks Mercury, knocking him out. The drone starts going after Freddy again, but Fluffy curiously jumps on top of the drone, causing the drone to spiral out. It crash lands near the raccoons den, while multiple trees fall where the crash site was. When Mike thought Fluffy was dead, Fluffy drearily walked up to him somehow, unscathed and happy. The raccoons hide under a table while eating cookies. Mike attaches a fake butterfly to a fishing rod and throws in near Mercury. Little did the raccoons know, Fluffy loves butterflies, and pounces on it, but Mike pulls the butterfly away, revealing Freddy's face behind it. Fluffy scratches Freddy while Mercury tries to get Fluffy off Freddy. Mercury succeeds, but still has Fluffy in his hand. Mike deploys the butterfly again, this time at Mercury. Fluffy chases Mercury while Mercury screams, running Freddy over. Freddy gets Fluffy's favorite mouse toy and gives it to Fluffy, distracting Fluffy from the butterfly. The raccoons then get all their previous ate up food and start throwing it at Iris' home. Mike, enraged by this, puts horrid things in a trash bin and shakes it up to create the worst smelling and tasting thing ever. Mike then drives an RC car filled with cookies outside to lure the raccoons. Outside, Mercury notices the cookies on goes after them, leading Mercury to the trash bin. Mike then goes into the raccoons vision and Mercury sizes up to try and fight Mike. As Mercury gets closer, Mike puts a book on top of his cone, sealing his cone off so no smell can come in. Mike then opens the trash bin and the horrid smell comes out. Both the raccoons are running around trying to get fresh air, while Fluffy is about to pass out because he has no mask. Mike catches Fluffy into his cone to shield Fluffy, and the raccoons pass out. Mike presses the air flow button and all the stinky air gets sucked up. Mike then pushes the raccoons back to their den and cleans up the house. Mike then sees Iris sadly cleaning up the mess the raccoons threw at her. Mike decides to help her and gathers up the rotten food in his cone and empties them in the trash, ending the episode.
