The Case of the Lazy Rabbit

**The Case of the Lazy Rabbit** is the twenty-third episode of the first season of Fishtronaut and the twenty-third episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode begins with Marina playing Animal Memory while Fishtronaut tells her to remember properly by memorizing where the cards are flipped (two hippos, two toucans, and two sharks) and Marina won the game with her good memory. Before trying to play a second game, Zeek appears and Marina tells him that if he wants to play with them. Zeek agrees to play with them by memorizing and confuses the rabbit cards for Eddy. Zeek tells Fishtronaut and Marina to meet Eddy, a rabbit who is a good running. Meanwhile, the gang meets Eddy who is doing a workout and the gang is challenged to a race across the lake. During the race, Eddy arrives back towards the trio and the trio decides to go racing again with Eddy. However, Eddy starts to feel tired while trying to go to the lake. Eddy tells him that he must rest and is very tired, telling the trio to play without him. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** gas pump and a picnic tablecloth

Receiving the clues, the gang decide to follow Pablo's tire tracks to find Eddie. The gang meets a man named Pablo who stopped his truck and they tell him if he saw Eddy. Pablo said that he never saw Eddy for a long time and his truck ran out of gas and cannot continue without gas, which reminds Fishtronaut of the gas pump clue (gas is important for a car to work). He also tells Marina and Zeek that Eddy may need food to continue running, similar to a car needing gas to continue moving. Fishtronaut explains to him what would be Eddy's problem: hunger. Pablo also says that Eddy did not appear when he delivered his meal.

Instead of following the tire tracks, the gang decides to follow the rabbit tracks while Pablo decides to get gas to feed the animals or they would be hungry. Following the tracks, the gang stops at a puddle and Eddy is hard to find. Dropping one the clues, the racing-flag themed tablecloth reminds Fishtronaut to look at the picnic area. The gang decides to ask some visitors to know if they saw Eddy the Rabbit. Meanwhile, Eddy is relaxing under the shade of a tree. He explains to Zeek that he's very tired and Marina tells him that he must eat, but Eddy says he's not hungry. He also tells the gang that he doesn't feel good, because of eating junk food, which is not healthy for Eddy. Eddy says that he loves to eat junk food, but Fishtronaut explains to him that junk food doesn't give Eddy energy. Marina explains to him that he must eat healthy food, which is the reason why Eddy lost the race. Eddy thought junk food would give him more energy and Fishtronaut tells him that he must rest his digestive system before he can race again. Meanwhile, while having a picnic at the carrot field, Eddy decides to eat carrots instead of junk food, which is good for his tummy. Eddy fells better after having a healthy picnic.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** racing flag

Receiving the flag, the gang decides to race again for a while and the gang decides to play Animal Memory again after racing again.
