The Doppelgänger

**The Doppelgänger** is the fourth fanmade episode of *The Rob Wiki*.

## Synopsis

Gumball and Darwin discover a doppelgänger of Rob.

## Plot

The episode starts with Gumball and Darwin watching TV. They flip to the news channel, where they are covering a recent TV outlet robbery. The police sketch of the burglar is a picture of Rob, much to the brothers' surprise. They run to Rob's hotel room. However, Rob has no memory of this incident. Darwin shows him the news, when suddenly the Doughnut Sheriff starts pounding on the door. They escape the hotel and run back to the Wattersons' house, where they get a ride to the TV outlet. They go in, grab copies of the security tapes, and leave.

They return to the house and start the tapes, but the Doughnut Sheriff starts pounding on the door, asking to speak with Gumball about the robbery on Pen Street. Rob hides in the basement, when he finds a secret portal to a mysterious room. Gumball and Darwin play dumb, and successfully drive him away. Gumball and Darwin tell Rob the sheriff is gone, and Rob takes them to the portal. Together, they step into the portal. They find the robbed TVs, and they discover the culprit: a doppelgänger of Rob.

The Rob doppelgänger stumps Gumball, Darwin, and Rob so he can escape into the shadows, and after they discover what happened, the trio emerge from the portal defeated.

Darwin gives an inspirational speech to the others, telling them to not give up, and they rush to the police station for help. They show the Doughnut Sheriff the tapes, and distinguish the fake Rob to the real Rob, using the fact that the fake Rob has no pig tail.

Rob leads him into the portal, but is too late: the Rob doppelgänger uses the TVs to make him become a giant static monster. He throws the Doughnut Sheriff into the hospital, and the trio run up to the roof and prepare to fight. However, the static monster smacks them over. Rob suddenly gets an idea; He orders Gumball and Darwin to get on his shoulders, and uses the remote to make him the same size as the Rob doppelgänger. Meanwhile, the Rob doppelgänger busts open a sausage factory, causing Richard, who is back at the Wattersons' house, to smell the sausages. Having found the Rob doppelgänger, Rob confronts him; Gumball and Darwin get in Rob's hair and controls him in order to attack the Rob doppelgänger.

After fighting for a while, Gumball and Darwin discover a cork in the Rob doppelgänger's chest; They create a plan to attempt to pull it out. Gumball positions Rob so Darwin can run over to the Rob doppelgänger and jump over to the cork. After some effort, the trio manage to remove the cork. The static drains from the Rob doppelgänger's body, and he lay defeated inside the sausage factory.

Rob tries to get answers from his doppelgänger, but he disappears before he can get them. The police appear behind them to arrest the trio, but Richard appears behind the police and eat the latter. Gumball believes they are off the hook, but Rob points out the damaged factory. Richard eats the entire factory, and the episode ends with the trio shocked at Richard.
