Rubbery decides to find out who is behind this. Meanwhile, Jade, Laura and Jess are shown getting ready to audition for the new member of Ricky's Angels. The first candidate is Kim, who does a quiz. She gets three yeses. The second candidate is Arthur, who does a vlog about Thomas Eats Fish. He gets two yeses Meanwhile, Rubbery shows the piece of paper to Bottle Wottle and asks it what it means, to which it doesn't know. The third candidate is Danielle, who impresses the judges with her judo talents, however she says she hasn't had time to practise, so eats a pizza instead. She is given three yeses (on the basis that she can do judo). The fourth candidate is Michael, who says he can become invisible, interesting the judges. He then hides around the curtain and declares himself invisible, which Jess clearly sees through and buzzes him. He then admits he can't become invisible, and is given three no's. Rubbery and Bottle Wottle find Noodle the cat backstage, and ask him if he knows what Foo means and who is behind it, to which he says he doesn't know, but is also investigating strange goings on backstage. They then notice a mysterious masked figure, and follow him. The fifth candidate is Jules, who says she's going to get the party started. The judges enjoy the audition, and give Jules the golden buzzer. The final candidate is Ken who says he is going to tell a joke. However he forgets the joke, and walks off in fear of upsetting everyone. The judges are just about to start making the decision, when the masked man gives Jade a piece of paper saying there's one more left. The judges are horrified to find it is Johnnyboy! The judges all buzz him off and tell him to get off the stage. Meanwhile, backstage the masked man takes off his mask, revealing himself as Simon Cowell! Rubbery, Bottle Wottle and Noodle realise he's rigging the votes, and decide to warn Jade. The candidates are on stage, and Jade announces the winner as Johnnyboy, causing confusion. Rubbery, Bottle Wottle and Noodle come onto the stage, and Noodle tells Jade that the votes were rigged by Simon Cowell. Simon appears and admits the truth. When asked about Foo, Simon says he doesn't know anything about it, and a piece of paper falls out of his pocket. Bottle Wottle pushes the piece of paper towards Jade, and it is the actual votes! Simon then runs away, being pursued by Jade, Laura, Jess, Rubbery, Bottle Wottle and Noodle. Outside, Simon is caught by Eve and Suki from EastEnders, who are police officers, and he is arrested. The result is revealed, and Jade announces the true winner as Danielle. Jules is confused as she had the golden buzzer and thought she had won, however Jade says she has a special part in the next video, pleasing her.

## Trivia

* "Foo!" originated from something that Jade does in real life with Rubbery, in which Jade says "Ffffoooo!" to her, which makes her ears go back.

## Goofs

* Jade wanted Rubbery's ears to go backwards, however found this difficult to animate, so instead put her ears going flat instead.
* When the judges are giving their opinion on Arthur's audition, Bottle Wottle appears behind the panel. This is a glitch caused by Jade copying it into the last scene.
* In the Noodle and Bun videos, Noodle does not speak, however did at his Britain's Got Talent Audition, which is why he can speak in this video.
* Simon Cowell in disguise and the man in black are both clearly Q's drawing.
* When Jade pushes the golden buzzer in Jules' audition, there is no sound effect.
* When Simon Cowell says the word "Foo!", Rubbery's ears don't flatten.
* When everyone chases Simon Cowell, only Jade, Rubbery, Noodle and Bottle Wottle are shown. However in the next shot, Laura and Jess have joined them. That being said, Laura and Jess weren't on stage, so maybe they joined in the chase offscreen.
* Eve and Suki aren't in police uniform, other than police hats.
* At the end, the crowd cheer. When the panel is shown, there is no crowd, so who cheered?
* Mankycat is shown as a darker shade of grey, whereas in his last appearance he was lighter.
