## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, where Leeko, Milly, and her family are watching a new program on Channel Lion Out Loud. Hosting the show is Marvin who uses it to predict the fortunes of everyone watching. He projects six cards with various imagery on the screen through his crystal ball, and asks the audience to choose their favorites. From there, he predicts that anyone who had chosen the card depicting clouds would be hit by something falling from the sky. Sir Chanter had chosen his card, and jokes about this idea at first, but Leeko accidentally tosses a spoon in the air which hits him on the head, thus vindicating the prediction. Later on down in Puffy Town, some of the adult Puffies talk about the prediction, and Mayor Bay affirms it by describing how he got hit in the head with a crab-apple right after picking the cloud card. While watching other Puffies gossip, Manny, Leeko, and the Puffy kids get an idea to try and make Marvin's fortunes come true after hearing them to see what would happen. Overhearing this, Bubbles steps in and offers them free drinks and snacks in exchange for them carrying this plan out.

Later on, Professor Antico is watching What's My Fortune at his collection and ends up choosing an unlucky card. His prediction tells him not to leave his home that day or his life may be at risk. Antico decides to ignore this prediction and sets out to do some archaeology work. At that moment, the kids set a trap for him by throwing a banana peel in his way and then rolling a barrel at him that causes him to be rolled down the street. Mayor Bay ends up hitting Antico by accident with his car, launching the poor professor back into his house through a window and breaking several of his artifacts. Later on, Antico is taken to Dr. Medico's clinic and wrapped in bandages, thus affirming Marvin's prediction. Next up, Chief Gordy gets the unlucky draw, and his fortune claims that he will make a grave mistake. At that moment, Manny sneaks in and uses Gordy's keys to free Slammer while the chief is not looking, and Slammer makes a run for it as Chief Gordy chases him down. Later on, Channel Lion Out Loud reports that Chief Gordy has been jailed for making the mistake of letting Slammer free, affirming Marvin's prediction.

Next up, Chef Peppermint gets a bad card and is told not to go near the ocean that day or he will face danger from the water. He decides to ignore this warning and heads to Seashell Beach to fish, but Manny sets a trap for him by catching his fishing line and attacking an apple to it, knocking Peppermint into the water as he casts. Leeko then runs in and vacuum-mouths Chef Peppermint back out of the water to get the apple, causing the chef to fall on his back after being pulled out and later being covered in bandages. Meanwhile, Milly sees what the kids are up to as the Puffies begin to wonder about Marvin's predictions and King Leonardo and Tommy brag gloat about the show's success. The kids wander into Marvin's studio as he gives Tommy a prediction saying he might get struck by lightning. At that moment, Manny instructs Leeko to let down the studio lights which crash to the floor and then shock both Tommy and King Leonardo as everyone at home watches. Back at the bar, Bubbles and the kids celebrate their success, but are interrupted when Milly barges in and berates them for their actions.

After a brief discussion, Milly convinces Bubbles to come clean and tell Marvin what he and the kids were up to. After they do so, Bubbles asks Marvin if they could continue doing this for a while longer, and he agrees, thinking it to be amusing. However, it is soon shown that everyone in Usapia wants to get their fortune read by him. Shortly thereafter, King Leonardo shows up and abducts Marvin using his Viruses and proclaims him to be the new Prime Minister of Usapia, thus replacing Sir Chanter. Marvin is then taken against his will to Castle Leonardo. Despite this, he shows up at Leeko's house the next morning and wakes the sleeping mouse up using a small flying rotor toy, then tells him he has an idea. Back at the castle, Marvin resumes his show dressed in divine robes and proclaiming himself as a great prophet. King Leonardo asks the Great Marvin if he has his blessing to destroy the Vinebush Forest to build his new golf course, and he says it is okay to do so, causing the kids back at the bar to become outraged. Marvin follows up by telling King Leonardo it is okay to raise taxes on Usapia as well, causing Milly and Bubbles to question his sanity. However, at that moment, Marvin concludes by proclaiming that neither of these acts will matter, because he predicts that all of Usapia will be swallowed by the sea. King Leonardo and Tommy doubt this claim, but Marvin affirms it by referring to the events of Marvin’s Prediction, Part 2, which gets everyone's attention. He commands all of Usapia to follow him on a pilgrimage to the coast of meet a terrible fate.

Soon, all of Usapia forms a procession behind Marvin as he heads out. Bubbles and the kids are left to survey the now-empty Puffy Town, and they are found by Helios & Luna. Meanwhile, all of the Puffies have gathered at the coast as Marvin instructs them to cross the sea. Not seeing a way how, Marvin proclaims that he will part the water, and with a click of his staff, the ocean suddenly parts to show a passageway across the sea floor. As Milly and the others arrive to witness the spectacle, Hover asks them where Leeko is. As everyone awes at Marvin's power, he immediately turns around and berates all of them for being so foolish. He then reveals that all of his predictions were tricks, and also shows that the water-parting trick was the work of Tornado Leeko, who reveals himself after returning the ocean to normal. Marvin then throws off his entire fortune-telling persona in front of the crowd, and also tells King Leonardo his plans are off. Furious at having been manipulated like this, King Leonardo tries to attack Marvin, but Tornado Leeko blows both him and Tommy away, thus ending the episode.

## Trivia

* This is the fourth episode of *The Beginning* trilogy to feature the Tornado Copy Ability.
* It’s never been shown what Leeko actually inhaled to get the Tornado ability. It would make this episode the second time where Leeko obtains a Copy Ability offscreen. The first is Puffy New Year!.
	+ It is implied he got the ability from the rotor toy Marvin gave him.
* When Marvin asks everyone to follow him to the sea, Sir Pathogen and the Viruses, for some reason, do not follow King Leonardo and Tommy out of the castle. Neither do Moonlight Man and his apprentices.
