## Plot

The episode starts with Onion walking to the couch, holding a sandwich, and wearing a face mask and nose plugs. When he is about to eat the sandwich, a bunch of flies eat the entire sandwich before him, he shouts "Apple!". He then walks out of the house to see the entire roof filled with garbage, Apple is making modern art out of trash (which is just a Statue of Onion made entirely out of trash) Onion scolds Apple for the mess, Meanwhile, Falafel is baking a pie and receiving complaints on the phone, when he takes his pie out of the oven, the pie starts filling up with flies so Falafel decides to share the pie with the flies but when he eats a piece of the pie a bunch of flies fly out of his mouth, he decides to take a shower, he then applies a charcoal face mask on him but freaks out because the face mask he applied on his face is full of flies, he screams. having had enough, Falafel marches up to Apple and Onion's house. Falafel sternly tells them to clean up and get rid of all the flies. He also tells them that he's checking them later after his tango class, and if he comes back to see even one fly left, it's not their home anymore, Apple begins to wonder if Falafel is joking but he's not.

Apple and Onion quickly tidy up, getting rid of the pesky insects. All seems fine, until they notice a fly sound, they realize that they forgot to get rid of the last one. Fearing eviction, Apple tries to kill the fly but Onion tells him they should do it in a humane way to get rid of it.

They try to shoo it away but it fails, Apple still thinks they should kill the fly but Onion tells him "NO!", they decide to catch the fly by covering the shack with a bunch of sticky tapes and getting the fly to get stuck in the tape by luring it with a donut but the fly miraculously dodges all of the sticky tapes so they drop a wall made entirely out of sticky tape for the fly to fall for but Apple accidentally gives the fly an idea on how to dodge the wall of sticky tapes (By telling the fly to fly through the wall sideways and spread it's wings and legs out.) the fly then lands on the donut, Apple tries to blow the fly onto the sticky tape but it fails. Onion decides to force it out using the legal system which involves an eviction notice, they send it to the fly, While waiting for the note Apple becomes impatient so they stare at the door harder for the letter to arrive, As the letter arrives, Apple throws out all the junk mail including a bunch of bills and a "You have won the lottery" letter until they find the eviction notice, they show the eviction notice to the fly but the fly takes the notice and shreds it, They finally decide to kill using fly swatters, when they swat they fly they start to hold a funeral for it and bury it inside bonsy, suddenly, they notice that the fly is still alive and that the fly they swatted was actually a raisin.

The duo eventually gives up. Then, they decide to see what the fly is going through using drum and base, and realize that being a fly is great. They can fly, stick to walls, and drink things. Having empathy for the fly, the duo decide to hide it rather than kill it. When Falafel inspects their home, it all seems good until he sees that the house he was inspecting was all made entirely out of paper, he hears the fly's buzz in the real house in one of their speakers. He looks, and discovered that not only did they hide the fly, they also made a tiny little replica of their furniture for it. Enraged, Falafel kicks them out. However, they tell him that being a fly is great, and while he disbelieves them at first, Apple and Onion make him see what it's like to be a fly using drum and base, he realizes that he was wrong when he looks through a fly's eyes. He lets the duo and the fly stay in the apartment.

Sadly, they learn that the fly had died in the speaker due to the sound of the drum and base, they bury it in bonsy, until Apple suddenly eats they fly wondering if it was a raisin but it was actually the fly.

The episode ends with an end card saying "R.I.P. FLY" 15 JULY(maybe) - 23 JULY(for sure) "SORRY ABOUT THE SPEAKER THING."
