## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, where King Leonardo is ordering a special offer from Nebula Enterprises for free, minus a special set of service charges. Through the Monster delivery system comes a large pile of Leonardo Dolls, which the king proclaims are about to make him a lot of money. Using his Viruses, King Leonardo then sends a doll to everybody in Usapia. Milly and her family check the dolls and are about to dispose of them when a special Channel Lion Out Loud broadcast airs. In this broadcast, King Leonardo and Tommy announce that the dolls everyone just received are lucky, and will bring good fortune to all who keep them. Later on, Sir Pathogen personally delivers a box to Leeko, but Hover decides to keep the doll for himself, having been fooled by the advert like the rest of the kingdom.

That night, Milly decides to give the doll a try by placing it on her bed and sleeping next to it, as the rest of the town follows suit with their dolls. As the clock strikes 2 AM, King Leonardo wakes up and heads out to his balcony, where he utters a chant intent on hypnotizing the people of Usapia into liking him through the dolls. This chant causes those sleeping near the dolls to experience discomfort. The next day, the hypnosis appears to have had its effect, as Hover and the others decide they like King Leonardo all of a sudden. However, this effect quickly wears off as soon as they all realize this, and how ridiculous it sounds when they hear it from someone else. Not connecting this to the doll at first, King Leonardo is given another opportunity the next night to influence them. This time, he instructs them in their sleep to grab any spare change they have on hand and deposit it in their dolls, which they do. The next day, they check their dolls and notice coins jingling inside, thinking it to be a gift from the doll.

On the third night, King Leonardo rises once again to give yet another hypnotic command. This time, he commands his subjects to put all of their money inside the dolls. The next day, King Leonardo then reveals a new bank he has set up, and the people of Usapia go to deposit the money they placed in the doll the night before into the bank. As King Leonardo and Tommy celebrate their success, Milly is confronted by Moonlight Man, who berates her for following suit. As King Leonardo and Tommy seal away the money, Leonardo reveals his exhaustion, as his night-time hypnosis sessions left him sleep deprived. Tommy insists that they still need to get a hold of Leeko's doll, but Leonardo decides he will do it later. That night, Leeko takes his doll back from Hover while the bird is sleeping and cuddles with it in the tree. Meanwhile, remembering Moonlight Man's words, Milly decides to place her doll in a drawer to see if it will still affect her in her sleep. Lastly, King Leonardo decides to pull a fast one on Tommy by forcing him to sleep with a doll as well.

King Leonardo - fed up with not being able to sleep well - decides to get revenge on his subjects by using the dolls to torment them on the fourth night. Meanwhile, Milly sleeps peacefully due to her decision. The next day, Tommy complains to the king about his treatment, but Leonardo brushes him off. In frustration, Tommy smacks the doll, which causes Leonardo to scream out in pain. Meanwhile, at Leeko's house, Hover instructs Leeko to kick the doll out of their house, and he does so, which causes King Leonardo to get knocked over. Tommy intensifies this punishment by tossing the doll around, which, in turn, causes Leonardo to fly through the air. King Leonardo then rushes back to the throne room to ask N.L.E for an explanation, and Gene confirms that King Leonardo is linked to them, and that any abuse the dolls receive will also be passed on to him. Hearing this, King Leonardo rushes out to collect all the dolls in order to preserve his own safety. In the confiscation process, however, King Leonardo receives more inadvertent abuse, and is eventually kicked into a river. Leeko follows the doll in the river and Milly and Moonlight Man observe from a distance.

As King Leonardo is tormented, Chef Peppermint helps Leeko fish the doll out of the river, and then Leeko swings it around, causing further paint for Leonardo. Milly and Moonlight Man catch up with Leonardo and explain to him that the Puffies are withdrawing all their money from his bank, causing him to panic. He rushes to the bank, but arrives too late, finding an empty vault. In desperation, King Leonardo decides that if he cannot buy any more monsters, he can at least get his revenge on Leeko by attacking him with the last remaining doll. As Leeko is attacked, Chef Peppermint decides to help him by digging a hole and burying the doll inside, which, in turn, causes Leonardo to be buried into the ground, while Milly and Tommy watch with exasperation and apathy. After the doll is bitten by a mole, King Leonardo jumps out of the ground and tries to hammer Leonardo for "sneak-attacking" him. Hover then tells Leeko to vacuum-mouth the doll, and he does so, though he does not gain a "Doll" Copy Ability in the process. The episode ends with King Leonardo left stranded in Leeko's parallel innard dimension as his doll can be seen encased in a light bubble.

## Trivia

* This is the fourteenth episode in *The Beginning* trilogy to not feature a Copy Ability.
* This episode shows that the inside of Leeko is an entirely different pocket dimension.
* It is currently unknown exactly how Leonardo escaped Leeko’s pocket dimension, but it is somewhat speculated that Leeko must have spat him out after discovering that when inhaling the Leonardo Doll, he also inhaled Leonardo himself.
* This is the second episode in *The Beginning* series to have an unresolved ending. The first is Forget-Me-Never.
* There are several scenes in the episode where something nearly happens to the Leonardo Dolls, such as Manny nearly tossing one into the garbage, and Chief Gordy nearly knocking one off a table. These incidents are meant to be foreshadowing what will eventually happen to King Leonardo when one of his dolls is not so lucky.
