## Synopsis

A group of teens are vandalizing an old mansion. Suddenly, a ghost shows them an ominous message and scares them off, one of them falling into an unknown abyss. The ghost - a little girl called Emilia - giggles, and turns to her friends, who are watching TV. In shock, they all watch an ad where the superhero Bulldozer claims he'll wreck the mansion in order for a golden plaza to be built; the children start to despair until the television adresses them directly and a sinister man claims their salvation is in his hands.

Dr. Flug and Demencia are fighting the hero Ringworm with little sucess. Once 5.0.5. appears, he drops his guard and the villainess manages to knock him out. Flug then scolds the bear for not staying in the ship; while he tries to be sensitive, Demencia straight up calls him useless in fights. Once they are summoned back by Black Hat (who remarks on the mediocreness of their job with the hero), they are given the mission of stopping Bulldozer from destroying the haunted mansion and acquiring its deed.

Taking the Hat Ship to the mansion, Flug instructs 5.0.5. to stay inside it, claiming he wants him to clean it before they come back; the bear is eager to help, but nonetheless sad at being left behind once again. Demencia and Flug enter the mansion and she teases him about being afraid, and he claims otherwise - as he endures the way more horrifying experience of working for Black Hat - before being spooked by Emilia. He runs off to the front yard in terror, fainting after the mansion comes to life to greet him; meanwhile, Emilia is surprised that Black Hat didn't come, to which Dem explains that having him in person costs extra.

Waking up, Flug snatches back his wallet from Demencia's hands, as she stole it during his inconsciousness. Emilia and the living mansion - refered to by the former as the Van Der House - explain to the duo that over the years, many had come to the place, but all were scared off. Bulldozer seems to have no fear, however, and they fear for their home. Flug promises to come up with a plan and asks to see their "mean faces" - which prove to be too much for him to handle, as he once again faints.

Back in the ship, 5.0.5. practices being scary on the mirror, but scares himself. He manages to see the arrival of Bulldozer, who rushes towards the mansion. Flug unleashes the ghost kids upon the hero, but he knocks them away with Berry, his wrecking ball-hand. Larry, a ghost who has affinity for possessing inanimate objects, tries to possess Bulldozer, to no avail, as he hits himself and forces the spirit out of his body. As their last resort, Flug sends in a Hatbot to fight him, but the wrecking hero tears the robot's head clean off with one punch. To 5.0.5.'s horror, he wonders how that would've gone if he did the same to a human with nothing but a paper bag to protect him; this prompts the bear to exit the ship and sprint to the mansion, fearing for the safety of his friends.

Bulldozer breaks into the mansion and decides to go for its heart first. Flug, in the meantime, asks if Demencia's in position - to which she says she can't be sure, as the hallway she's in has many doors and some lead back into it. When Flug decides to go to her, Emilia suggests using a specific door that leads to any of the orphanage's 5401 rooms - but she warns that if he misses it, he'll have to complete the circle to reach the desired room again. He passes through several, and slams the door on Demencia as she once again steals his wallet.

The doctor steps into a hallway, readying his dart gun, and he fires upon a large shadow - only to realize he's out of darts. When he identifies it as 5.0.5., he worries about his cute baby being in such a terrifying place while ignoring his concerns about Bulldozer. He then locks the bear in the furnace room and asks him to stay there until the job is done, for his safety. Wandering around looking for Emilia, he tells her it's up to the two of them to stop the hero - but Bulldozer steps in and tries to smash him with Berry, only to hit Emilia and break into the Orphanage's Private Rooms. He advances towards the heart, to Flug's despair, as that's where he left 5.0.5.

Flug and the ghost kids witness the hero break into the heart room, only to bump into the blue bear, who while at first surprised, welcomes him with open arms. Bulldozer then recollects the event where he lost his hand - it was bitten off by a bear cub. He shrieks in terror and runs away, into the woods. The kids celebrate and Flug congratulates 5.0.5. Leaving with the deed, the doctor apologizes to his creation, recognizing that he can be useful in the field, before they both realize they left Demencia behind. Back in the mansion, she plays *Villainopoly* with the kids and the Hatbot's head, and proceeds to bet all the money in his wallet.

In the mid-credits scene, Bulldozer reaches a cave, and tries to hide within it. Its inhabitants - Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear - notice him, and while Grizzly recognizes him from his commercial, Ice Bear threatens to call the cops.

## Cartoon Network/Warner Bros./Hanna Barbera references/cameos

* One of the paintings in the house features Hi Five Ghost from *Regular Show* fist bumping a ghost child.
* The teens that appear in the episode's beginning have their outfits based on Fred, Velma and Shaggy from the *Scooby-Doo!* franchise. The Spanish dubbed-voices for Fred and Velma also voiced their parodied counterparts.
* Grim from *The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy* is seen in one of the paintings where he delivers Emilia to Mother Poltergeist.
* The Violin Girl from *Courage the Cowardly Dog* makes a cameo appearance when Flug opens the door.
* The Clown from *The Amazing World of Gumball* is shown on the painting next to the door to the House's private quarters.
* Towards the end of the episode, Bulldozer ends up at the cave where the The Bears from *We Bare Bears* live in. The actors reprise their roles for this cameo in the Spanish version.
	+ In the English version, it only has Bulldozer screaming instead.

## Trivia

* Episode Lip-Sync: English
* The pictures that Demencia takes photos next to reveals that the previous owner of the Van Der Orphanage was Mother Poltergeist before she was a ghost.
	+ Furthermore, she's also revealed to be the caretaker of all the ghost children in there.
* This, alongside "The VVV", are the only episodes to include Mexican Spanish-idioms from the Spanish version implanted in the English dubbing, with Dr. Flug briefly referring Black Hat as "jefecito", a common moniker he refers to him as meaning "boss".

## Errors

* On the English dubbing credits, Bulldozer is credited as Bulldozing.

## References

* When Flug opens the door for the first time, a shadowy figure appears. This is a reference to the 1968 Mexican horror film "La puerta y la mujer del carnicero", which was Alan's first horror film he saw during his childhood.
* The Fred teen that couldn't escape in the beginning is later shown in the end trapped in a painting resembling that of *The Scream*, most likely as punishment for his vandalism.
* The Van Der House is based off the titular antagonist from the movie *Monster House:* it comes to life taking a rather grotesque appearance and can be killed by destroying its heart.
* When Bulldozer enters the house, he shouts "Oh yeah!", which is the iconic catchphrase of the *Kool Aid Man* mascot, usually said when the character runs through walls.
* Another time when Flug opens a door, Bulldozer shouts "I ain't afraid of no ghost" while he fends off one of the ghost children, a direct nod to the theme song for the film, *Ghostbusters*.
* Bulldozer uses the catchphrase "Voy a demolerlo!/I'm gonna Wreck It!" when rushing to the house's heart, in reference to Wreck-It Ralph.
	+ According to writer Diego Valenzuela (also voice of Bulldozer), that particular reference was inserted by Ituriel himself.
* After Bulldozer fled from the house, some of the ghost children did iconic victory dance moves with the hooded ghost doing the Thriller dance from the Michael Jackson song, *Thriller* and Larry did the iconic "5" dance from the classic *Peanuts* cartoon specials.
* The Animals that appear in Bulldozer's Flashback are a reference to Bambi.
