Everything is Crabs

"**Everything is Crabs**" is the first episode of Season 3 of *Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts*. It premiered on Netflix with the rest of the season on October 12, 2020.

## Synopsis

The hunt is on for Dr. Emilia, and friends start to vanish. It'll take teamwork to make Kipo's dream of a Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance work.

## Plot

Kipo describes how she and her group looked everywhere for months for Dr. Emilia. They couldn't find her and the other 1000 humans with her.

Snakes surround the otter band, who are performing a play, and tell them that they're dinner. All of a sudden, humming-bombers nectar bomb attack and took Camille.

Kipo plans a HMUFA meeting, for the Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance, but everyone tries to make other plans.

Kipo tracks down the Humming-bombers to ask them if they took Camille. They just sob and reply that they didn't. They talk about one of their own, Boom Boom, that also went missing. Kipo thinks that someone else is behind all of these disappearances- Emilia.

Kipo and the gang go to the wolves to look for Boom Boom and Camille but the wolves say it wasn't them. They do say that someone told their centrifuge.

Kipo holds the first ever meeting of HMUFA, along with the snakes, Timbercats, humming-bombers, but everyone starts fighting and blaming each other. The Timbercats admit to stealing the centrifuge. Kipo tries to reason with them that Dr. Emilia wants them to fight amongst themselves instead of fighting her.

Scarlemagne tells Kipo that the only way to get the mutes to work together and listen to hear is to get them to fear her. Kipo tells Scarlemagne she isn't him and she wants them to want to help.

Kipo sees baby Timbercats, wolves, and hummingbirds playing together in harmony. All of a sudden, mega crabs descend Kipo turns into a mega jaguar to fight them off. Her mom comes to help fight. The snakes stay to help the Timbercats fight, but the wolves and humming-bombers leave them to fight on their own.

They win the fight and have a big crab feast to celebrate. They welcome the snakes to the HMUFA. They realize that Dr. Emilia is at sea because only a sonic emitter could’ve made the mega crabs come up from the ocean.

One of the the-otters runs in, declaring that Jamack went missing. They found a dart on the forest floor. Kipo and her dad realize that she might be gathering test subjects for her experiments.
