Hall Monitor

"**Hall Monitor**" is a nineth episode *The Amazing World Of Gumball* episode from Season 7. In this episode, Mouse becomes hall monitor in Nicole watterson's Boating School, but she overthinks about it and it results in chaos.

## Summary

At Nicole's Boating School, it is time to select the hall monitor for the day. Nicole notices that Mouse she's the only one who has yet to serve as hall monitor. Mouse then approaches Nicole, and after desperately attempting to find another candidate, she is forced to give the hall monitor duties to Mouse.

After being elected as Boating School Hall Monitor, Mouse gives an extremely long speech, which ends up lasting the entire rest of the school day (and thus her whole tenure as hall monitor), while putting the entire rest of the class to sleep. Out of sympathy, Nicole watterson allows Mouse to at least wear her uniform until the next day, though privately apprehensive of her decision.

However, Mouse goes above and beyond the call of duty and decides to become the "hall monitor" of the city, with disastrous results. Her activities include an atrociously vain attempt to direct traffic, resulting in a massive pile-up, and scaring a couple out of their house in the guise of the "Open Window Maniac," with the intention of showing them the "dangers" of leaving a house window open. Later, Mouse comes across Gumball eating a strawberry ice cream cone and labels him a criminal after Patrick drops the ice cream on the ground.

Then, a newspaper boy comes up to Mouse and Gumball, and gives them a newspaper with the headline "Maniac strikes Bikini Bottom." Mouse looks at the newspaper headline alerting about a maniac causing trouble around town, blind to the fact that she is herself the article's subject. SpongeBob suggests they stop this maniac, which gives a saddened Patrick the chance to, in his words, "be good" by becoming Mouse's "deputy." They end up getting ice cream twice as part of Gumball's "ex-criminal" advice and then decide to split up to find the maniac, communicating using walkie-talkies.

Seconds after Mouse runs off, two police officers pull up next to Gumball. They ask him if he has seen the maniac, showing him a wanted poster with a picture of Mouse, which he at first mistakes for an imagined, separate maniac, and screams with terror at the mere sight of the poster.

The cops patiently assure him that it's just a drawing and not the real thing, and instruct him to tell them if he has seen the person when they show the picture. Gumball agrees to cooperate, but he keeps screaming whenever the police show him the sketch. Eventually, the cops decide to have a little fun and repeatedly show and hide the picture as Patrick screams every single time. The officers then drive off, suggesting to Gumball that he take the ice cream cone off his head.

Soon, night suddenly falls and Gumball becomes frightened. He calls Mouse and asks her to return. Mouse comes back as Gumball finds a poster of the maniac before he sees Mouse in the distance across the street. However, Gumball recognizes him as the maniac rather than Mouse. He alerts Mouse through her walkie-talkie, and Mouse attempts to escape the maniac. Everywhere she goes, Gumball tells her the maniac is there, causing Mouse to hide in a mailbox for safety. Upon being told that the maniac is also in there, she bursts his arms and legs out of the mailbox, sprinting around the city in a blind panic. In her terrified state, she topples several buildings and crashes through a fence covered in the wanted posters. After seeing a poster from the fence, he finally realizes that she is the maniac who has been reported in the newspaper and is being pursued by law enforcement.

The police arrive to arrest Mouse, but Nicole watterson appears and scolds Mouse for her foolish actions and destruction of the city, much to his sadness. She then explains the situation to them, letting out that she is *her* responsibility. The police interpret this as taking responsibility for the crimes, and she is arrested instead.

After that, Gumball comes home. Sometime later at Boating School, Mouse is working with the class on their essay while she is being broadcast on TV from jail, until she tells Mouse that she needs to see her after class, "six months from now." as the episode closes.
