The DVD

**"The DVD"** is the first episode of season 1 of *The Incredible World of JCTOT* and the first episode overall.

## Synopsis

JCTOT and bennybean07 go to extreme lengths to avoid paying a DVD fine.

## Plot

The episode begins with ringtop02 asking JCTOT to return a DVD of *Alligators on a Train* back to Tatsu Video Games to avoid paying a fine, and after a bit of deliberation and a violent outburst from ringtop02, JCTOT fearfully obliges.

She goes to the kitchen to ask bennybean07 of the DVD's whereabouts, only to find bennybean07 using the disc to cut a pizza. JCTOT grabs it from him and tries to clean it with a sponge, but she accidentally uses the abrasive side, scratching the disc up and causing her to freak out. In the ensuing panic, she accidentally drops the disc into the kitchen sink's garbage disposal, shredding it to pieces. JCTOT then decides they need to find a splace the DVD without their father finding out what they have done.

First, she tries to replace the DVD with a cardboard cut-out, but the trick fails to deceive Tom, who sends them increasingly urgent notices. Instead of facing the consequences, however, JCTOT decides the next best solution is to beg for money on the street to pay off their debt, though unsurprisingly, it too fails to work (with the hobo getting rich in the process by taking their earnings and winning the lottery).

Back at home, JCTOT and bennybean07 search for jobs in the newspaper, eventually settling on a job in cosmetics for make-up testing. The two go in a booth that manually applies the make-up, but JCTOT suffers an allergic reaction, horrifying the employee.

They return home once more, where JCTOT discovers a bunch of more letters from Tatsu Video Games. She realizes that she and bennybean07 are in trouble and she tells bennybean07 that they have to hide the letters before ringtop02 gets home. Then, they get a call from him who suspects something is amiss; when the two try to assure him that the situation is under control, he suspects that they are lying and tells them he is coming home. Panicked, they double down on one last resort, however degrading and unlikely to work it may be. Right as ringtop02 arrives and discovers the letters from Tatsu Video Games and becomes enraged, JCTOT and bennybean07 run away from the house. A chase ensues, with ringtop02 trying to chase them down to reprimand them, but it ends when he accidentally slams into a wall.

JCTOT and bennybean07 arrive at Tatsu Video Games and hand over the DVD, which turns out to be a homemade version of *Alligators on a Train*, featuring cardboard cut-outs and the pair's names exclusively in the credits. Unconvinced, Tom orders JCTOT and bennybean07 to return the original DVD immediately. Upon hearing this, JCTOT and bennybean07 cry and confess what happened to the DVD and beg Tom not to tell ringtop02, who turns out to be right behind them. He pays off the fine of twenty-five dollars for the lost DVD, telling JCTOT and bennybean07 that he still loves them no matter what they do. Unfortunately, he fails to account for the late fee on the DVD, totaling seven hundred dollars, and the episode ends with a freeze-frame of them running away from Tom to avoid paying it off.
