## Plot

The episode begins at the Bass Station as Larry informs Morton and Lemmy that Bowser's planning an invasion on the Mushroom Kingdom, as the two don't want to do that again. As they have stuff to buy, Lemmy asks who is paying for the snacks, Larry tells him he left his piggybank at home then Morton decides he'll pay for them before bumping into the giant Koopa who kinda exactly looks like Morton...then K. Rool tells Morton if he can come take a look of something that had been stuck on the toilet. As both Morton and the Koopa looking like Morton replied at the same time with sure, with the big Koopa realizing that the one bumping into him, is his long lost son as he is Morton Koopa Sr.

Later, Morton Sr. meets Larry and Lemmy, as he is buying the light bulbs at the station then Lemmy tells Morton not to talk to him as his father fled the Koopa Troop and abandoned Morton as an egg. Even though Morton Sr says that he changed since fled, but Lemmy is not buying it. Morton Sr. begs his son that he can hang out to prove to Lemmy that he actually changed, but Morton tells his dad that he has to tell his adoptive father, Bowser, first then Morton Sr insists of doing that.

Then at the castle hallway after their strange encounter with Morton Sr, Larry and Lemmy tells Wendy, Roy, Iggy and Ludwig that they ran into him at the Bass Station. Even Iggy knows that Morton Sr abandoned the Koopa Troop and left Morton at the castle as Kamek told the Koopalings. When Wendy asked if Morton's biological father is wealthy, Lemmy tells her that he abandoned Morton before he's born. Roy just sees this as his jealousy because Lemmy's real parents are dead, before Lemmy points out that his parents are dead too which he took it as an offense. Later at cabinet meeting room, Bowser was sharing a beer with Morton Sr as he thinks that he returns to rejoin the Koopa Troop. But Morton Sr instead of wanting to have a discussion about his biological son, Morton Jr which Bowser may sees Morton as a dumbass but pretty tough Koopaling though. Morton Sr. ask for the Koopa King's blessing as he wants to spend time with his son to make up for his mistakes then Bowser accepts that to spend as much time as he wants.

After letting the two Mortons spend time with each other, Bowser tells King Boo and Kamek that Morton Sr is back as he doesn't have to teach Morton Jr crap as an opportunity for his dad to rejoin the Koopa Troop, but Kamek reminds him of his desertion and abandonment of his son as he and King Boo knows how sleazy Morton Sr is. Despite of their doubts about Morton Sr, Bowser ignores them and tells them that he's going to be a great re-edtion to the Koopa Troop. Speaking of the Mortons, they were spending father-son time, running over the Goombas in Morton Sr's car as Morton's the one driving, eating at Goomburger as shake spilled on Sr's shell and Jr throws his at the Koopa and playing Donkey Kong Jr on the computer. Morton Sr tells his son that enjoys their time together past week, as he asked Morton if he can come stay with him at Mushroom City. Morton was uncertain about leaving his adoptive family as he grew up at the castle. But then again he tells his dad that he'll think about it.

The next morning after long hard thinking, Morton tells Bowser and the Koopalings that he is leaving the castle to go live with his biological father in the city which has everybody saddened, except for Ludwig as he leaves. Bowser understands his adoptive son's decision to leave the castle as Larry (who is trying his best not to cry) wishes him luck then Roy, Wendy, and Iggy will miss him and his stupidity but when Morton asks Lemmy if he's okay with his decision then Lemmy didn't seem to care if Morton leaves the castle because it was his choice. After Morton said his goodbyes, Larry begins to cry over the fact Morton's really gone but not before he asked his family if one of them can get his beef and bacon sandwich.

Three months since Morton left for Mushroom City, Bowser starts the cabinet meeting with the Koopalings and the elite trio about making the plans to take over the Mushroom Kingdom that he tells them that they have to go over these plans as Goomp forgot to what this meeting was actually about. Wendy is posting an invasion plans at social media. Then Paraplonk bought Bowser a jelly donut and Roy wants to leave, but Bowser tells him no then accepted the jelly donut. He tells the Koopalings the areas their units be at charge at as he stations Larry at the Grassland, Wendy at the coast and brings up Morton to take the desert before Roy and Lemmy cleared him up that he's not part of the Koopa Troop because he left to go live with his dad at the city, as Bowser forgot about that. Since Morton isn't here. Bowser stations Ludwig at the desert, but his adoptive son refuses to do so. Larry volunteers to go in the desert, but Bowser doesn't approve his suggestion. As Goomp asked why wouldn't Morton take the desert as always, but Sargent Guy tells him that Morton is no longer here. As Paraplonk tells him that he should've listen to the Koopa King, Bowser tells him to stop sucking up to him then tells Ludwig that he's going to the desert and won't hesitate to strangle him if he objects again. As Iggy realize that there's six of them, then Ludwig tells him that their father's plan was rushed. After hearing what Ludwig has said, he angerly told him to come up with a better plan if Ludwig is so smart, then he burns the plan down.

Later at the Mushroom City apartment, Morton Sr was going through the bills as it is awfully high. Morton asked his dad if he wanted to go to the movies with him, but Sr replied that he's got work to do all night to keep a roof under his head. Morton disappointly understood and tells him that they'll go tomorrow on Saturday, but Morton Sr tells him that he can't do that either because it's a weekend job, but tells his son to go ahead and invite some friends over for the day as he makes a broken promise to be back around seven or eight as he passed the football to Morton which he accepts.

Hours later, Morton has invited the Koopalings to his place as Wendy asked him if they can pretend they own it on her Instagoomba, as Morton doesn't mind it. Then noticed that Lemmy isn't here for the visit because Larry tells him that Lemmy says his reason of not coming over is because he thinks Morton selfishly abandoned his adoptive family which Morton understood. As both Roy and Iggy were checking out, Larry asked him when will they meet Morton Sr. but Morton tells the Koopalings that he's working every day as he is thinking there's a guy named Bill he's got to pay money to. As Iggy asked him if he ever gets lonely over his dad leaving the place to himself, Morton tells him "nah" as he's got food in the fridge.

Later in the throne room Bowser goes on a rageful rant on Morton abandoning him as he was the one who looked after his former adoptive son like the time the two went fishing then he fell into the pond and needed to be fished out. As he gets angry the fact that Morton decided to leave to go to live with "his lazy, good-for-nothing, dumbass dad", also brought times that he save Morton from being killed by his own stupidities, such as soothing his tongue when swallowing lava and pulling his head out of the oven, and swears that if sees the Mortons again, he threatens to kill one of them, turn one into a stew, and feed the stew to the other one. As he finishes his ranting, the Elite Trio tells him that they're actually here to see him for their paychecks which Bowser forgot that they're here.

Then at his room, Lemmy is sitting at his bed sighing as Larry and Wendy checks on him as he tells the two that it gets boring around here. When Larry asked him if he misses as Lemmy reminds the two that Morton chose to leave them for his scumbag dad. Wendy answers with Morton being his best friend, like the time he rescue him as he gets the tongue out of the snowman's mouth and Lemmy tells her that it's a snowwoman as Larry convinces him to come visit him, Lemmy asked him why should he do that after he left on his own. No matter how much he tried to stay strong, Lemmy broke down in tears as he admits that he misses Morton then Larry cries with him as he also misses him and Wendy getting a box of tissues.

Later at Whomp King's company, he catches Morton Sr not mopping the top floor as he's been in the same room two hours, then the lazy bum apologizes to his boss because the guy threw up every where. As he gave him the recycling speech, Morton Sr realizes that bring Morton Jr back into his life was a biggest mistake he just made and after his son calls him to pick up more toilet paper, this was the final straw for Morton Koopa Sr.

Then while he's by his lonesome, Morton finally gets a visit from Lemmy as he lets him in, as he asked his former adoptive brother of how things are going at the castle. Lemmy tells him that Bowser lost his temper in a meeting as Wendy recorded it which Morton finds it funny. When Lemmy asked him about Morton Sr, Morton tells him that his dad is good as Sr has been out for a long time when he tells him that he'll be back at 8 as the clock says 21:30 (9:30 pm if you're in the US) but Lemmy tells him that 8:00 is actually 20:00. But when Morton mentions that his biological father has came inside, grabbed a suitcase and get back in his car, Lemmy feels bad for Morton.

After waiting for hours, Morton realizes that Sr has abandoned him yet again. Lemmy tells Morton not to fault himself for Morton Sr.'s second abandonment and cheers him up by telling him that he's taught a lot by himself like spelling four letter words, then Morton added in the time he headbutted a rock where it smashes in one hit. Lemmy helped Morton regained his confidence after telling him that he doesn't need Morton Sr like his father didn't need him. He asked Morton to rejoin the Koopa Troop which Morton accepts his offer. From outta nowhere, Roy shows up to Morton's place because the castle's fridge ran out of food.

As night time approaches, Morton and Lemmy return to Dark Valley as they sneak into the castle hallway as Morton wasn't sure if Bowser will be okay about him comes back. Speaking of Bowser, he shows up to the halls. Morton asked his adoptive father if he can rejoin, but Bowser refuses to do so all because he thinks Morton sees him as a second choice after Morton Sr screwed his son over again. Morton apologizes to Bowser as he was happy to see his birth dad that he forgot the good times with his adoptive one and also didn't mean to be a dick like Sr was. Then Bowser accepted his apology and tells him and Lemmy to go to bed for an important meeting tomorrow. After the two are excited that Morton rejoins the Koopa Troop, Bowser is really glad to have his adoptive son back. In a flashback, Bowser gets a report about the seven eggs that were found in the homes that were destroyed in the attack. Asking if the identity of the parents of the eggs, Boomerang Bro describe one of the Eggs belong to deserter, Morton Koopa as he abandoned his egg. As Hammer bros plan to make an omelete out of them, Bowser forbids the troops from doing that as he takes them in as his own children then they concede as Bowser tells the Koopalings that they're safe with his care, ending this touching episode.
