## Synopsis

The Donut Shack is selling their fall line of pumpkin-flavored items. Connor comes in to order six pumpkin donuts and apple cider donuts each in the same box and a pumpkin spice latte. Kyle starts making his order and says that they're all out of pumpkin flavoring. This gets Connor to cry and Doug to check up on them. They explain the situation to them and Doug sends them out to find some more flavoring while he takes over their jobs until they come back.

At Cart Market, Missy, who works there, tells the boys that they're all out of pumpkin flavoring and won't expect the next shipment to arrive until two weeks later. Missy tells them that there is another way they can get pumpkin flavoring: "straight from the source". They arrive at a pumpkin patch through the power of cartoon logic. Missy goes back to work, and Mike and Kyle think of how they're going to get pumpkin flavoring straight from the pumpkins. Kyle tells him to use a juicer and they get to work. Right when Mike is about to stab a pumpkin with the juicer, a voice tells him to stop.

This came from a pumpkin named Johnny who is trying to protect his beloved "Martha" from getting stabbed. Johnny refuses to let them kill his "family members" and calls the police on him. A cop answers and tells him that it's not illegal to kill pumpkins. He hangs up on Johnny, and when Mike threatens to smash him with his foot, Johnny surrenders. He cries and starts to "pee" pumpkin flavoring.

This gives Mike the idea to have the pumpkins pee out their flavoring. Later, back at the Donut Shack, Connor is happy that he got his order. Johnny shows them the bottle which is stored in the kitchen. The episode ends with Johnny revealing his secret recipe.
