This is the twenty-first episode of Total Pokémon Action. After Bouffalant leaves Jellicent, she decides to put the cast through a series of uncomfortable dates. Four different pairings are picked with the goal of sitting through a date longer than the other person from the other team. Someone sabotages their team and successfully makes them lose. However, rather than anyone who participated, the losing team decides to vote out a particular castmate in order to make everyone happy.

Jellicent is upset after Bouffalant left her over the news of the affair. So, the movie of the day is Romeo and Juliet. For the challenge, four men and women on each team are picked and paired by Jellicent. The goal is to last through the date without breaking character. Ambipom is once again ready to sabotage his team any way he can so that they lose and Jynx isn't in danger. The first date is between Zoroark and Banette. Ambipom whispered something in Banette's ear. Then, Banette put to use the fact that people always called him a pervert by giving Zoroark inappropriate compliments. The second date had Drifblim and Bisharp. This causes her to rage and attack him. Bisharp is doing all he can to be a bad date with horrible manners. Drifblim grew more and more angry, so Ambipom decided to stay out of it. Then, Drifblim told Bisharp off causing him to run away out of fear. The third date was Girafarig and Chimecho. Chimecho talks and talks which Girafarig isn't fond of. She lets out an eye roll, so Jellicent gives the point to Chimecho and Team Ribombee. Girafarig was very bothered by this because she hates to lose and she was the only one on her team to lose. At least, by that point. The fourth and final date is Lopunny and Farfetch'd. Lopunny tries to make Farfetch'd uncomfortable by flirting with him, but instead he just falls head over heels for her. This in turn causes her to get uncomfortable and walk out. In the end, the score is one for Team Ribombee and three for Team Toucannon. Absol was so furious from losing three challenges in a row that it gave her an ominous headache. Her alliance of Ambipom, Azumarill, Gliscor, Mismagius, and Zoroark talked her out of targeting someone just based on the challenge otherwise the only valid targets for them were Bisharp and Lopunny. Instead, they aimed to find someone that if they left would benefit the whole team. Unown asked out the delusional Castform who was shocked because she assumed he liked Luvdisc. Leafeon's siblings Espeon, Umbreon, Jolteon, Flareon, and Glaceon are back and plotting about how to get one of them on the show to keep Leafeon in check. Glaceon convinced them to let her be the pick since Leafeon trusts her. Their brother Vaporeon arrives with baby sister Eevee. After some argument, the twins conclude that Eevee is actually perfect for their idea. At the Team Ribombee awards ceremony, it comes down to Bisharp, Lopunny, and Zoroark for losing their rounds and Vanilluxe which is a shocker. But, Vanilluxe gets the boot because they'd been arguing all day which wasn't helping anybody. Of course, they were confused because they didn't even participate. Vani was sobbing and babbling incoherently while Luxe was pissed and ready to leave. The two sisters loudly made their way to the limo and were sent away. Another castmate, technically two, down.
