## Synopsis

Gloop is on Earth again. With his Gloopster, he is fighting Gekko in The Park. As Gekko deflects all the gloop projectiles fired at him with his shields, Octobella emerges from the Moat to see what is causing all the noise. She tells Gekko to be quiet, but refuses to help stop Gloop when Gekko asks her. One of the gloop balls that bounces off Gekko's shields ends up falling in the moat, much to Octobella's dismay. Gekko has enough and throws his shields at the Gloopster, forcing Gloop to retreat. When Octobella returns to the moat, she comes across the gloop projectile that landed there, and to her horror the gloop begins to multiply.

The following morning, when Greg wakes up thirsty, he notices the glass next to his bed is suddenly filled with gloop instead of water. Later, he is seen telling Amaya and Connor about what happened last night, and how mad Octobella was about the gloop landing in her moat. Then they notice all the water in the city has been turned into gloop. The three friends decide to stop this problem tonight. That night, when meeting up in Power Q with the other Power Heroes, they see on the PJ Picture Player how the gloop that fell in the moat is multiplying rapidly. Since the Moat is Octobella's home, Ice Cub hopes she might know what happened and how to stop it, but Gekko is skeptical as Octobella is a villain and would never help them. Owlette urges him to at least try. Gekko however is convinced he can handle it himself and heads back to the city in the Gekko-Mobile. Unaware that Gloop the Third is watching him from the Gloopster. No sooner is Gekko gone, or Gloop attacks Power Q and gloops all the exits, trapping the heroes inside. Gekko is on his own for this mission.

Gloop lands in the park and begins to shoot up the place with his gloop. Gekko tries to fight him, but is distracted when Octobella emerges from the moat through a hole in the gloop, and gets hit by one of the projectiles. With Gekko incapacitated, Octobella introduces herself to Gloop and claims to be a fan of his work. Gloop is flattered, but when Octobella asks him to remove the gloop from her Moat, he angrily orders his Gloopets to attack her. Octobella deflects their gloop projectiles with her bubbles, and they end up hitting Gloop himself, trapping him in his own gloop. Octobella tells Gekko she can handle it from here, and kicks him out of the park.

The Gloopets free their leader, who now wants revenge on Octobella first. Octobella tries to retreat into the moat, but discovers the hole she came through has been sealed shut, leaving her trapped outside. Gekko, who is still trapped in the gloop, contacts his friends in power Q. They again tell him to ask for Octobella's help, since she too wants Gloop to be gone and the city's water unglooped. Gekko refuses. Then Octobella reveals she was listening to the conversation while using her camouflage. She just as much dislikes the idea of teaming up as Gekko does, but realizes she has no choice. So with great reluctance, the two form an alliance.

Octobella uses her bubbles to capture the Gloopets, and using her camouflage she sneaks up on Gloop and steals his weapon. She traps Gloop in his own gloop again. She and Gekko, who is still trapped in the gloop himself, enter the Gloopster. On board, they try to figure out how to use the ships degloop gun, but since neither of them had a clue how the control panel works, they end up accidentally freeing the Gloopets from their bubbles instead. They immediately board the Gloopster to stop Gekko and Octobella. Fortunately, Percival alerts them to the danger and they hide before the Gloopets enter the cockpit. From a safe distance, they observe how the Gloopets use the ship to free Gloop the Third from the gloop he was trapped in. Then they attack the Gloopets and kick them out of the ship. Now that they have seen what buttons to use, they degloop all the water and Gekko. They then give Gloop his ship back, on the condition that he degloops Power Q first. Defeated, Gloop returns home, while on Earth, Gekko, Octobella and Percival shout the Power Heroes victory cry.
