## Summary

The episode begins with Marina playing a unique version of bowling with a coconut as the bowling ball and pineapples as the bowling pins and Marina almost made a strike during the game. While Zeek does an attempt to play bowling, an orange started rolling down and knocking the pineapples by accident. The gang found out that the orange came from Mrs. Flora's bags. Mrs. Flora didn't mean to knock down the pineapples, because the orange fell from one of her bags. Zeek asks her that if she wants to play with Marina and Fishtronaut, but Mrs. Flora says that she must clean the house on Cleaning Day. While trying to play bowling again, Marina is distracted by some bubbles on the lake, along with Fishtronaut and Zeek. Fishtronaut explains that the bubbles coming out from the lake isn't normal and the gang doesn't know where the bubbles are coming from and Fishtronaut decides to investigate what is the mysterious cause of bubbles from the lake.

Meanwhile, Fishtronaut visits Rosy Barb wearing a safety mask, and Rosy tells her that something strange is happening in the lake and the water has a weird taste. Fishtronaut explains to her that where the other fish are and Rosy says they have left and can't stand the strange smell in the lake. Fishtronaut returns to Marina to explain that something weird is going on in the lake: countless bubbles start coming out of the lake and the bubbles are causing an unhealthy taste for the lake dwellers. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives to help the agents.

**P.O.P. Clues:** sponge and tree trunk

Receiving the clues, Fishtronaut tells Marina and Zeek to go exploring the forest while Fishtronaut goes with Rosy Barb where the water is neat. Upon meeting Rosy, they talk to a sea sponge named "Spongey". Spongey the sea sponge tells them that a lot of fish from the lake showed up earlier. Rosy Barb explains where the fish are living and Spongey explains that the fish have left the salty water. The two fish decide to find where the lake fish are living at. Meanwhile, Marina asks an ovenbird to know if she noticed anything strange with the trees in the forest. She explained that a large tree trunk fell into the middle of a river. Meanwhile, Fishtronaut and Rosy enter the cave and found out the lake fish are inside. The fish explain to them that the water is not good for the fish and won't come back if they smell strange water. Fishtronaut and Rosy decide to meet Happy Plumb while Rosy tells the fish to stay in the cave.

Upon meeting Happy Plumb, Fishtronaut and Rosy ask him what has happened to the lake. Happy Plumb asks the two with his riddle: "What has happened is uncleanliness for some is certainly some dirtiness for some". When Fishtronaut listened to his riddle, he thought that the water is polluted. He then decides to analyze the sample of the water in the lake. After analyzing, the gadget shows an image of a detergent container. Fishtronaut found out that the detergent is polluting the lake and causing mysterious bubbles to appear. Fishtronaut thought of Happy Plumb's riddle, which is about pollution in which the detergent is polluting the lake. He then talks to Marina and Zeek on his Communicator and Marina explains that she and Zeek saw a large foam of detergent on the water.

Fishtronaut explained to Marina and Zeek that the detergent is the main cause of scaring the fish in the lake, causing pollution to the lake water. Fishtronaut explains to him that the trunk must be removed so the detergent will slowly disappear and the fish in the lake will return. All of a sudden, a horse named Ringo appears behind the agents and tells them that he can't drink the water that is polluted with detergent. Marina ties a rope on the trunk to be pulled away from the river and Ringo and the trio work together to pull the trunk out of the river. Having pulled the trunk out of the river, Ringo is happy to drink the water from the river again. Meanwhile, Rosy and the other fish return to the lake and the fish are happy that the water doesn't smell bad.

Having removed the trunk, Zeek tries to play bowling again, but Fishtronaut explains that the mission is not finished yet. Fishtronaut explains to him that who could have thrown detergent in the lake. All of a sudden, Mrs. Flora appears near the trio and tells them that she can't find the detergent and thinks that the detergent container fell out of her shopping bag. Fishtronaut uses his gadget the Large Container Detector to find the detergent container. Having received the container, Fishtronaut brings it back to Mrs. Flora but she says that the container is empty. Marina explains to her that the container fell into the water and caused a foam of detergent and the detergent caused the water to produce bubbles. Fishtronaut explains to her that the container in the water was an accident and the problem was already solved. All of a sudden, the rain arrives to clean the lake and Mrs. Flora is worried that her children would come to the house with dirty shoes due to the rain. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the gang and Mrs. Flora.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** cleaning stuff (a mop, a bar of coconut soap, and a featherduster)

Receiving the rewards, the gang decides to help Mrs. Flora clean her house during Cleaning Day.
