Madame Zelza

Episode Title Card

***Madame Zelza*** is the eighth episode of the second season and the sixtieth overall episode of the animated series, *Space Goofs*. It was aired on December 6, 2002.

## Summary

A fortune teller moves next door and Candy, Bud and Gorgeous spend all their money on her, so Etno proves it's all a scam by becoming a fortune teller himself into believing a superstition. So, he must then try to run Madame Zelza out of business.

## Plot

A psychic, Madame Zelza comes to the Aliens' house for rent along with her crystal ball, tarot cards and horoscope chart, plus the whole panoply accompanies it. However, after Gorgious accidentally breaks her crystal ball, destroying the overrated future, pointing at the object, Madame Zelza announces the curse called, "The Dreaded Curse of the Two Thousand Dirty Gym Socks" that would've made their life difficult until they have to pay 5000 € (euros). During the curse, Candy's vacuum wouldn't start, Gorgious was sick from eating chocolate-stuffed oysters and Bud's favorite show, *Babe-Watch Beach in 3D* was cancelled, until Etno specifically researches, reacts and demonstrates the irrationality of Zelza's such practices.

Furious at Zelza, losing her customers to Etno disguised as Madame Zetno, she roars at them and Gorgious tells her not to cut, plus she walks into the Aliens' garage, putting a bowl on Etno's head. At the end, they've been proven to her that they're not Hawaiians, transforming back to their normal selves to scare, chase and blast Zelza away into her spaceship to Zigma-B, which Etno has created and Candy has enabled and pushed the lever.
