## Plot

The episode begins with a recap that mostly focuses on Patrick Fitzgerald. The recap goes from his introduction scene to his death.

A funeral for Axel, Mark, and Penny was held at the cemetery, with Rev. Blue Jeans, God, his Angel, and The Genie giving out their speeches. Lidia struggled to hold back her tears, but was comforted by Watt.

The gang watches the blood that is still on the walls, reminiscing about last night's events. Lidia struggles to deal with the aftermath of Axel's death, but JunJun was relieved to be alive himself. However, Lidia snaps and says that she's got no one for her. When Maggie tries to talk to Lidia, she screams her to leave her alone.

As the blood was cleaned from the wall, Knife and Soap reunite after the shooting. Candle and Clover heard about the shooting, with Scotty saying that the shooting looked like "something out of American History X". Hilda and the others wondered about what might happen next.

Scarlett visits Gumball in the hospital and tells him that Penny has died. He goes to the mortuary and sees Penny's body, then sobs.

OJ and the Police held a press conference about the shooting, but Lidia accuses the police of failing to save his son and all the others from the shooting. Officer Flanigan understood what happened, and apologizes.

Shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Gumball is comforted by Nicole and Judith, who struggles to hold back tears. He asks Nicole that if she hates him for loving Penny, but she doesn't. Gumball later says that he has got nothing left for him and wants to leave the Blooper Center, to which Nicole and Judith agree.

Back at the cemetery, Suki visits Axel's grave to express her remorse for mistreating him over Maggie. She then leaves a rose on Axel's grave, then leaves. The episode ends with Yin and Yang putting up photos of Penny, Axel, and Mark at Rabbz, Gabriela comforting JunJun, Lidia reconciling with Maggie after their Rivalry, and Sam places torches outside the studio.

The end credits also features a poem from Jamel Delossantos which was about fighting for happiness. The poem reads: "Tragedies can come and go, but it is difficult to get over your grief. You are not alone. One day you will get up on your feet and fight for happiness and protection."

## Critical Reception

The episode received mostly positive reviews from fans and critics. Fans have expressed their emotions after the loss of Penny Fitzgerald. Clever Mark Entertainment says that "It was sad for Penny to go after 3 months". Another fan says that: "I actually cried on this episode. I can't believe Penny's dead. She was my favorite character, and i always loved her. Why would she have to be killed off by that psycho?"

A Wiki TV-owned Entertainment magazine Wiki Boulevard described the episode as a "Heartbreaking Goodbye for the Trio". They later said that the episode was shown as an example of post-traumatic stress disorder, which greatly affects some characters who were caught up in the shooting.

Fans also criticized Ramon for writing off their fan-favorite characters, like Axel and Penny. A fan on TikTok dressed up as Axel who demanded Ramon to bring Axel back to the channel. The other fan on YouTube uploaded a video of a crying Penny Fitzgerald who also begs to bring back Penny herself, calling out Ramon for his "stupid mistake" and described her kill-off as "unfair".

The poem at the end credits was also widely praised. Florence Downey from Komapest Journal agreed that fighting for happiness is the secret recipe for getting over the trauma and asks TEG1994 to help those who were struggling to cope with the loss of their loved ones.
