Eggscellent

"**Eggscellent"** is the seventeenth episode in Season 3 (and fifty-seventh episode overall) of Pickle and Peanut. It first aired on February 27, 2018.

## Synopsis

Peanut must win a trucker's hat after Pickle falls into a coma from eating a massive omelette.

## Plot

The episode begins as Pickle and Peanut are watching an action TV show in which the actor flips the car (Peanut complains that he flips a car in every episode like, "Hey bus full of preschoolers, learn this. [crashing noises]."). Just then, Benson comes in and tells them that they need to get back to work. As Peanut is about to turn off the TV, a commercial promoting an eating challenge pops up. It says that whoever can finish the restaurant's 12-egg omelette will win a trucker hat with the words, "I'm Eggscellent" on it. Pickle becomes obsessed with the hat and tells Peanut it is a neat hat, but Peanut thinks that nobody wears them and that it's lame. After an arguement, Pickle convinced Peanut to go to the restaurant with him to try and win the hat.

At the restaurant, when the waiter comes to take Pickle's order, he asks for the Eggscellent Challenge. The waiter strongly advises him to choose something else, but Pickle is too stubborn to change his mind. When Pickle tries to eat the eggs, he has a deadly allergic reaction to them, causing Pickle to be evacuated by an ambulance to a hospital. Before Pickle loses consciousness, Peanut promises that he will win the hat for Pickle. Pickle then says his last words before he goes unconscious. Peanut, worried that his friend may be dying, shakes him to keep him awake, but to no avail. Seeing that Pickle is dying, the paramedic pushes Peanut and frantically tells the driver to be faster since they're losing Pickle. Peanut watches very worryingly at Pickle, who has been used CPR by medic.

The rest of the park workers arrive at the hospital to see what happened to Pickle. The doctor tells them that Pickle is in a coma due to the allergic reaction he had to the eggs. To make matters worse, he then says that due to the large amount of eggs he has consumed, there's a strong possibility that Pickle will never wake up again and the only thing to do is wait to see what happens. Once he leaves the room, Benson ridicules Peanut, stating that they brought the problems on himself and that it wouldn't have ended like this if he and Pickle worked. Enraged, Peanut strikes Benson in the face and precedes to attack him before Muscle Man and Skips attempts to break up the fight. Benson, who surprisingly didn't fight back, persuades him to calm down, as fighting wouldn't solve anything. Still, Peanut is mad at Benson for making it as their jobs matter more than somebody's life. Peanut then tells Benson that he doesn't really have any friends and that everybody only hangs out with him because he's their boss. Peanut then angrily storms off the hospital room and goes back to the restaurant.

In the restaurant, Peanut finds out that the hat is not for sale. So in order to win the hat, Peanut attempts the challenge but fails to finish in time. Back at the hospital, while Peanut is weeping to Pickle, then Skips and Benson come in. Benson apologizes for what he said earlier saying that it was insensitive to say something like that, and should not have been taken seriously. However, Peanut is still unconvinced and angered. In order to encourage him, Benson holds up a journal and Skips says that the journal belongs to a man called Johnathan Kimble, who used to work at the park a few years before they were hired. Johnathan, like Pickle, really wanted that hat, but every time he tried, he failed. Eventually, Johnathan came up with a way to win the challenge.

He tried to explain this to everybody, but they walked away. His method was to crumble the biscuits and put them in the water and to crush the eggs. Skips said that Johnathan was never seen again after that. After that, Peanut trains to do the Eggscellent Challenge. He and the park workers go to the restaurant to try the challenge. Peanut apologizes to Benson for saying he doesn't have friends and said even though he can be a jerk sometimes, he's still a good friend. At the restaurant, the same waiter serves Peanut but tells him not to do the challenge. Peanut refuses, and the waiter is forced to give him the omelette.

But when the waiter realizes that he is doing really good, he attempts to stop him, until Benson, Skips, Hi Five Ghost, and Muscle Man protect him. As Peanut is eating the omelette, the Park Workers are protecting him from the restaurant staff. When the timer ends, the waiter discovers that he finished under an hour. The waiter, horrified, tells him that *he* was trying to protect him. Peanut becomes confused by this and asks.

Suddenly, Peanut teleports to a mysterious room filled with hats, then the elderly man with knight armor, named Eggscellent Knight appears to him and tells him that Peanut had entered the final challenge, and asks him to pick the right hat in order to win the challenge. Then he warns not to choose wrong or he will die, just like Johnathan Kimble, who is a skeleton sitting in the corner, who picked up crown, which is incorrect choice (parodying the finale of *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade*, in which the title character has to find the Holy Grail out of a variety of chalices and drink from it, or select the wrong cup, drink from it, and age to dust). Peanut looks at Jonathan Kimble's corpse one last time, before he walks away and sees the collection in deciding which hat to pick. As Peanut chooses, he remembers Pickle talking about a trucker hat that was in the commercial they saw. Peanut sees a hat that resembles what Pickle was talking about and puts it on, and he didn't die, much to Peanut's surprise. The knight then tells him that he chose right, and Peanut teleports back to the restaurant. Once Peanut is teleported back to his right place, the knight opens the closet, revealing the whole collection of trucker hats. So he picks up one hat and places it on where Peanut have chosen it.

Back at the hospital, when Peanut puts the hat on Pickle, he wakes up from his coma and thanks to him but sees a TV commercial that shows a two person eating challenge based on steak and eggs. When Pickle wants to do it (so long as Peanut takes care of the eggs), Benson jokingly wonders if taking the hat off will make him go back into a coma, Peanut says there's only one way to find out. The episode ends with everyone walking towards Pickle to take off the hat, much to Pickle's horror.
