## Plot

It starts with a blue puppet channel surfing when Sally tells him it's almost time for his Naming Ceremony, where he gets a name in front of everyone. They go there, and Jacob gives a long, boring speech. The audience just can't wait for him to get to the naming part already. Meanwhile, in Eugene's neighborhood, Eugene is also watching the ceremony. Jacob is just about to name the blue puppet. He names him Edward. Everyone cheers. Eugene, interested by how close that name is to his name, is happy too. Jacob then announces that he misread, and renames him Eugene, much to the other Eugene's shock. Eugene walks up to the podium to give a speech, only to be interrupted by music, ending the ceremony. News Guy reports about the ceremony, making *Eugene's Show* Eugene more angry. He decides to go out to see the other Eugene as a montage is played.

Meanwhile, the new Eugene celebrates his victory by watching reruns of the ceremony. He eventually catches *Eugene's Show* and is just as confused as Eugene was when he saw Eugene at the ceremony. Lil' Susie and Jacob show up and are in shock as well. Jacob realizes this might be a clone and yells for Alfredo and asks where his brother is. Alfredo worries that Jacob may be upset if he finds out, but says that he's on a date in the noisy part of New York City. Cut to the date, where they can barely even hear each other because of all the noise. His girlfriend eventually leaves, dumping him. His phone rings so he goes to a quieter part of town to answer his phone, but gets interrupted by a flying superhero desperate for money. He answers the phone but Alfredo and his brother just end up in an unrelated conversation, so Jacob snatches the phone, but he gets interrupted by Eugene's arrival. Alfredo tells his brother to come as quick as possible and hangs up. Alfredo finds free teleportation across the street. Chaos has ensued back home, and everyone talks over each other. Luckily, Alfredo's brother has just landed at the house and gets everyone's attention. He measures both Eugenes to see if they're clones. They are the same height and length so they do seem to be clones. Both Eugenes start arguing, which makes Alfredo's brother furious. He yells that they're all puppets and they all have clones. Jacob says that when Sally gets back, each clone needs to hide because she doesn't like clones. Just then, Sally comes back and screams upon seeing the clones, then she wakes up from her dream, but both Eugenes appears next to her bed, mad at her for not liking clones. The new Eugene states that *Eugene's Show* Eugene will move there, but when Sally turns on the TV to an empty set and instrumental of the theme song, Eugene changes his mind and runs back to the studio to film his show. Sally then realizes that those two were a part of his dream and wakes up again.
