## Episode summary

The episode begins with a brief recap of the events of Marvin’s Prediction, Part 1 told by the external narrator. From there, things begin proper in Puffy Town, where King Leonardo is set to reveal a new construction in town which the people hope to be the playground they were asking for. When the tarp is removed, however, it is revealed to be a massive gold statue of Leonardo wearing his full regalia, much to the crowd's fury and disgust. They heckle him and demand he remove the statue and keep his promise to build the playground instead, and proceed to point out the asteroid looming large in the sky. Marvin then steps forward and insists that unless King Leonardo builds the playground, the asteroid is sure to strike Usapia, but Leonardo and Tommy laugh this off. Later on, the kids gather and spread information about the asteroid and its destructive potential, but most of those they talk to brush the threat off as unlikely. However, opinions begin to shift when reports of increased geologic activity spread around town, coinciding with doomsday prophecies.

Meanwhile at Castle Leonardo, Milly sees more ominous signs when she notices that all the castle's mice are fleeing. Moonlight Man comments on the phenomenon, and implies that the kingdom is in great danger. The next morning, King Leonardo continues to ignore the threat, but Tommy is no longer sharing that feeling after a restless night. He points to the asteroid, which now rivals the sun in size and is getting closer. Despite this clear warning, King Leonardo still brushes him off, much to his annoyance. After a few more observations, however, King Leonardo is finally convinced and starts to panic. Meanwhile, in the castle library, Milly is trying to calculate the time when the asteroid is expected to strike. At the same time, the Puffies have gathered outside of Mayor Bay's house to seek his council, and he directs them to ask Mr. Mage for guidance. At Seashell Valley, the great sage confirms that the asteroid will destroy Usapia soon, and Milly follows up by giving a more exact time: 48 hours from that moment. Resigned to their fate, the Puffies return home intent on spending their last moments as best they can, but Milly refuses to give up. She asks Mr. Mage if there is anything that can be done, but he remain silent.

As the moment approaches, Leeko wakes up to find the sky an ominous red, as the asteroid now looms large overhead. At the castle, Tommy offers his resignation to King Leonardo, as he wishes to return him to spend his last moments with his brother, but Leonardo won't allow it, and forces his assistant to stay until the end. Leonardo then spends his last few hours monkeying about the castle and forcing Tommy to participate. Seeing this, Milly resolves to do whatever she can to try and stop the asteroid, and Moonlight Man, his soldiers, Helios, and Luna offer to help. Milly then reveals that her plan is to try to use the castle's cannons to redirect the asteroid, and despite doubts about the efficacy of the plan, she insists they have to at least try. At that moment, however, Big Boom Volcano begins to erupt, in line with Mr. Mage's prophecy. This forces the people of Puffy Town to evacuate to the castle.

Seeing the arrivals, King Leonardo reacts naturally by trying to get them to leave, but Tommy turns on him due to his sheer audacity. After taking a punch from Leonardo, Tommy finally reaches his breaking point and cries. The two then fully come to grips with the hopelessness of their situation and weep together. Meanwhile, the villagers take the moment to confess to each other about various things they did over the years. King Leonardo and Tommy watch, and decide to confess to each other as well. However, despite all his rotten deeds up to this point, Leonardo presumes that he has never done anything worthy of confession, which causes Tommy to balk and remind him of the unwanted gold statue he left in Puffy Town. Presuming this to be the one bad thing he ever did, King Leonardo resolves to head down to Puffy Town while he still has time and rectifies the situation by destroying the statue and building the playground the Puffies asked for. A short time later, Leeko and Hover are staring at static on their TV, when King Leonardo busts through the door and takes Leeko to see the playground. Leeko is overjoyed and jumps onto a swing, and King Leonardo joins him and sings in melancholy fashion.

Suddenly, a catastrophic wind blows through the kingdom and Leeko and King Leonardo are swept high into the air as the rest of the Usapians brace themselves. At this moment, Milly and her crew ready the castle's cannons in a desperate bid to stop the asteroid. They fire them, but the cannonballs are stopped by the asteroid's force on the surrounding air. Milly is dismayed at first, but then she spots Leeko passing through the air with King Leonardo and calls for the Shooting Star. The Shooting Star catches Leeko, leaving Leonardo to end up hoisted by his robe on the castle's highest spire. At Milly's direction, Leeko vacuum-mouths the cannonballs and then spits them back at the asteroid, redirecting it just enough so that it heads back into space, though it does come close enough to King Leonardo to burn him up somewhat on its way out, thus affirming Marvin's original prediction. The episode ends as the town laughs at Leonardo's misfortune and Leeko comes over to get him down.
