The Case of the Fibbing Fishy

**The Case of the Fibbing Fishy** is the tenth episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the sixty-second episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Marina, Fishtronaut, and Zeek doing a guessing game by saying that anyone who guesses right gets a point. Underwater in the lake, some of the lake fish are talking to a miniature fish who tells a fake report that he saw a hungry piranha that is bigger than a whale shark, which terrifies the lake fish. Back with the trio playing the guessing game as we continue with Rosy noticing the terrified lake dwellers who listened to the miniature fish's fake report. Before Zeek tries to answer Fishtronaut's riddle, a barracuda bites his tail in which he confuses the fish for a shark as Fishtronaut tells him that the object used to cross without getting wet is a bridge and sharks live in oceans. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a liar's nose and a ball of yarn

Receiving the clues, the trio is curious what these clues are four. Back underwater, the miniature fish tells three yellow fish about another fake report of giant hungry frogs against yellow fish as the three yellow fish are afraid of his fake reports as the miniature fish lies to the lake fish about this report. Meanwhile, the trio meets some marmosets who are sensitive to the cold that keep themselves warm by wearing sweaters and and a warm blanket. Fishtronaut is curious that the yarn clue isn't about someone who is could but which animal that provides wool for the yarn, and Zeek is curious that the nose clue reminds him of Neppy's nose. The trio then decides to meet and talk to Neppy.

Upon meeting Neppy, he is curious if the nose clue belongs to him or if the trio is looking at him. Fishtronaut tells him that the nose clue has something to do with Neppy, but Neppy says he's not the only animal with a big nose in the park and the anteater's nose is bigger than his. Back again in the lake, Rosy is worried that some of the fish tell her of listening to the miniature fish's fake report about an attack on the lake as she tells Fishtronaut above land that something strange happening in the lake. Rosy is worried that the lake dwellers are nervous and she doesn't know what's happening to the lake fish. Marina and Zeek decide to continue investigating for a nose that is the same of someone else's nose and animals that provide wool while Fishtronaut decides to investigate on the lake. The nose doesn't match the panda, the jaguar, the stork, and the kangaroo, since the nose is not the same shape of the animals encountered. Behind Marina and Zeek is a herd of llamas, animals that produce wool like sheep as the two decide to talk to them.

Back at the lake, Fishtronaut tells Rosy why the lake dwellers are nervous about the fake reports of attacks on the lake and Rosy doesn't know who is spreading the fake reports. Fishtronaut and Rosy decide to meet Happy Plumb for help. Upon meeting Happy Plumb, he tells Fishtronaut and Rosy a riddle: "He who never tells the truth appears to lie, even when telling the truth." Fishtronaut then tells Rosy that the nose clue from the P.O.P. is actually a liar's nose. Fishtronaut then tells Rosy that the nose clue has something to do with a liar in the lake as Fishtronaut tells Marina that he found out that the nose clue she and Zeek have is actually a liar's nose and this clue has something to do with a liar who scares the lake dwellers. Fishtronaut and Rosy decide to find the liar in the lake and put an end to the fake reports, as well as the rumours he is causing. While trying to find where the liar is, a swordfish and a crab tell them that he's hiding inside a cave.

Inside the cave, Fishtronaut and Rosy find the miniature fish resting inside on an anemone bed. Rosy then reveals the liar's name the Fibbing Fishy to the fish who is scaring the lake dwellers as Fishtronaut and Rosy confront him for lying to the lake dwellers and scaring them with fake reports and rumours; the Fibbing Fishy says that it wasn't him who scared the lake dwellers and instead a butler, but Fishtronaut and Rosy tell him that he's continuing to lie again. After showing the clam towards Rosy and falsely claims himself to be a super agent, the Fibbing Fishy escapes from his resting spot, not because Rosy and Fishtronaut are angry at him, but he's worried that he might be punished for lying to the lake dwellers. Meanwhile, Rosy tells the lake dwellers to avoid listening to the Fibbing Fishy's report, in which the reports the lake dwellers listened to are fake.

Meanwhile, Fishtronaut meets Marina and Zeek who stopped the investigation for finding woolly animals, because of the rain. Fishtronaut tells Marina and Zeek that he found out that the Fibbing Fishy is the one who is spreading lies while Marina tells Fishtronaut to find out what the ball of yarn is for as Marina tells Fishtronaut that she talked to the llamas and the clue has nothing to do with the llamas either. Back at the lake, the Fibbing Fishy sees a dam that is about to burst. He then tells a capybara that he must leave the water, because the dam is about to burst and the water can wash away anyone who is near the bursting dam. The capybara refuses to listen to him, not seeing the dam from a distance and saying that the Fibbing Fishy is still lying, even though he saw a bursting dam. The Fibbing Fishy then encounters a flock of sheep who tells the leader of the flock not to cross the river, because of a bursting dam and the Fibbing Fishy tells the sheep that the water that came from the dam when burst can wash away anything that is near the dam and anyone crossing the river. However, a hippo tells the sheep that the flock can cross the river and the Fibbing Fishy is still a liar and the words that he say are not true, albeit not seeing the dam about to burst. The Fibbing Fishy tells the animals that he lied to the lake dwellers before, but he is almost telling the truth and not lying, because he saw the dam that is about to burst. The sheep refuse to listen to the Fibbing Fishy's warning, because they think that the fish is still lying to them, despite not seeing the dam. The sheep decide to cross the river without noticing the dam about to burst.

The Fibbing Fishy tells Rosy that she's the only one who can save the sheep from the rushing water coming from the dam, but Rosy is disappointed that how could she trust the Fibbing Fishy, even though he lied before. Back to the trio, Rosy tells Fishtronaut on his Communicator that she listened to the Fibbing Fishy worried that the dam is about to burst and the rushing water will wash away a flock of sheep. Fishtronaut then remembers Happy Plumb's riddle and starts thinking that the Fibbing Fishy could be telling the truth, despite the animals not seeing the bursting dam. Back at the river, the dam begins to burst and the flock of sheep begin crossing the river, minus a lamb who is terrified that the water will wash him away. The Fibbing Fishy then tells the lamb to cross the river to avoid getting swept away by the rushing water. Fishtronaut grabs the lamb and then reunites him with his mother. The mother sheep thanks Fishtronaut for saving the lamb from the rushing water. Marina tells the Fibbing Fishy that if it weren't for him, the lamb would be swept away by the river. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a medal and a message from the S.E.A.

Receiving the reward, Fishtronaut hands the Fibbing Fishy the rewards from the S.E.A. in honour of his bravery and helping saved the animals from the bursting dam. The fish is then excited that Fishtronaut gave him the rewards and everyone near the river is happy for him receiving the rewards from the P.O.P..
