Moody Tuesday

**Moody Tuesday** is the twelfth episode in Season 1 of *I ♥ Arlo*.

## Synopsis

When her ice cream cone falls to the ground, Bertie's good mood quickly turns sour — enough to infect her normally happy friends.

## Plot

Bertie is taking a stroll through Central Park, having gotten a nondairy ice cream cone which insanely cost $12, but is nonetheless having the best day ever. The second she licks her ice cream, it drops to the ground, causing her to become crestfallen and return to Seaside in a bad mood, and just wants peace and quiet. Naturally, Arlo joins her, joyful and banjo in hand, having remembered their friendship since the time they first met, and thought the best way to express said feeling is through song, and wrote a special song just for her. Just as he is about to sing, Bertie shouts his name in anger, causing him to break the strings. Before he could sing an acapella version in addition, she grumpily tells him she's not in the mood for a song right now. Arlo suddenly becomes crestfallen like what happened to Bertie, and he leaves her alone in gloom.

At the Department of Hair, Furlecia sees Arlo and shows him the mohawk she tried out, but he's too upset to notice. This causes Furlecia to fall into a bad mood as well, just as Tony arrives for his mustache trimming. The disappointed and fed-up Furlecia shaves of Tony's mustache completely, making him depressed in return. Alia then pulls up in her bus having an idea other than her pizza deliveries to expand the business and make a pizza face mask that can be worn and eaten. When Tony says he's not in the mood and reveals his shaved-off mustache, she gets a bad mood as well, and drives off. She then runs over Gordy's boardwalk art, making him gloomy as well, which Marcellus finds interesting.

Soon Arlo and his gang go back to their homes completely wrecked; that evening, a chain of bad moods starts spreading all over Seaside until it's completely quiet. Meanwhile, Bertie is still at the dock, meditating and focusing herself until she's in a good mood once again. When she returns to the boardwalk to announce she's done being antisocial, she's surprised that no one is answering her. Marcellus comes out of the fountain and lets her in on how resilient the Seasiders are to his negativity and sees their positive attitudes as "sickening". He adds that Bertie has a gift of misery and brought bad moods to the whole town, causing Bertie to realize she gave Arlo her bad mood which led to it being spread like a contagious disease. Marcellus then asks Bertie to give him an ointment rub, but she turns it down to apologize to Arlo, leaving Marcellus to try and moisturize himself.

Bertie goes home where she briefly encounters a moody Jeromio, just before finding the gloomy and annoyed Arlo in his bedroom. He proceeds to chew her out for making him upset before she reveals she gave him her bad mood, which he begs to take back. Bertie apologizes and asks if he would like to sing the song he wrote her earlier, but he cannot because his banjo is ruined and isn't in the mood. When she tries to tune it for him, he shouts at her wanting to be alone, prompting her to leave in sadness. This transitions into a song number where she feels sorry for putting him in a bad mood in the first place, so he forgives her, understanding her sadness as it's what everyone goes through, and quickly feels better.

As the song continues, the two proceed to cheer up their friends one by one: they fix Furlecia's mohawk, they use some of Furlecia's hair to make a replacement mustache for Tony, and Tony makes Alia the pizza face mask she imagined. At the end of the song, they sing and dance around Marcellus who once again asks for a back rub, but they leave him be and say goodnight to his chagrin. The episode ends with Marcellus blocking off everyone saying goodnight in annoyance, and Arlo quips how funny he is.
