When they’re under pressure when they learn at the last minute that the ship is about to be inspected for Bacon Berry's safety, Lettie gets mad at Lemo and everyone starts cleaning up and Lemo buys a cursed plant that becomes mutant.

## Plot

**\*SPOILER WARNING!\***
While wondering where Lemo has gone, Lettie, Freddie and Phil are cleaning up the ship. Phil says Lemo is "working on his best idea ever." And his best idea ever turns out to be a robot butler for the Calypso which can do laundry, dishes and all their cleaning needs, and with the Sudsworth's test spin, it immediately goes haywire and explodes, and Lettie yells at him about how it's his worst invention yet and if "nailing it meant destroying the ship and then he nailed it, like how he *always* nails it."

The UC then calls the Calypso to tell them it's their annual ship inspection and with Bacon Berry in their hands, they must make sure there are no dangerous or disgusting things in the ship in order to keep BB and they are sending Inspector Hammer. Now the Calypso is stressing over the fact that they cannot lose BB, and they must pull themselves together, but Lemo is assigned nothing but he wanted to help, so Lettie assigns him to get flowers to the table and Lemo goes off to get the flowers.

Out there, Lemo is with Bacon Berry looking for flowers and a mysterious eel scammer sells him a "Reef Sucka", and back in the ship, Lemo places the plant on a table and it grows a face and limbs and starts eating chips left on the table and it grows a bit bigger. As Lettie is inspecting the vents, the bed and the main console which were all checked and Lemo approaches her and tells her about getting the plant. and being proud drags Lettie to see what he brought; a mutant giant plant eating everything in the fridge, and Lettie yells at him that she said flowers and not a "whatever that is!" and Lemo says it was small and the Reef Sucka then belches and grows again.

Freddie and Phil return to say they heard all the burping and asked if they're having a contest again and Phil says he was practicing his burps and proves his case and Lemo tells him to next time, use his diaphragm and burps to show him like it and the three just burp around and Lettie tells them to knock it off and tells them they have to stop the disaster Lemo brought them and Bacon Berry tries to approach the Reef Sucka and Lettie pulls her away from it and now Inspector Hammer has arrived.

Lettie, Lemo and Bacon Berry meet the inspector and Inspector Hammer checks their happy greeting and as he is inspecting around and Lettie and Lemo try to have him convinced to approve the house, the Reef Sucka is running behind them along with Freddie and Phil and while checking the hallway, the plant is on the roof and BB tries to touch it again and Lemo pulls her away and they make it for the main deck, and the inspector checks the bedroom, the bathroom and the locker room, and as they enter the control board, Lettie expresses the plant's snarling as them cheering for his "fun inspection."

The plant, Freddie and Phil go to the kitchen, ***where Lemo, Lettie, Inspector Hammer and Bacon Berry are about to enter***. And as they enter, it turns out everyone had disappeared, but as seen the fridge handle is a little loose, which is very dangerous for BB's safety, the Reef Sucka breaks out with Freddie and Phil trapped in its vines and Lettie commands for Bacon Berry, Lemo and Inspector Hammer to leave the ship, and Lettie fights it off but is backfired immediately, and in the control board, Lemo and the inspector hide but the Reef Sucka quickly breaks in and BB then touches the plant and it immediately shrinks to its original size.

They have passed and the inspector's reason is because of their willing to keep Bacon Berry safe, by putting themselves on the line and it is an automatic pass in his book and they cheer, but they got to clean up the mess on the floor. And now Bacon Berry and Lemo bring the Reef Sucka to the eel scammer and the Reef Sucka then attacks the scammer and kicks him out.
