The Biggest Trouble Ever

The episode begins with a journalist Bert Choat introducing himself in front of the school. The clip changes to two construction workers (from "The Great Jungle Gym Stand-off") putting the 60 year old statue of Bile T. Ninety-Eighth XCVIII in its place, which has returned from overseas after eight years getting shined. The workers realize that they left the bolts to secure the statue to its pedestal in their work van, but they decide to take a break and go for lunch. Back on the playground, the children are busy cleaning the school for the re-dedication ceremony. The Recess Gang are part of the Leaf team and sent to the front lawn to clean up some stray leaves. Greta explains to Gus that the town is "a buzz" over the statue's return to the school. When they see the statue, they appreciate its majesty and then climb it, just when the statue is revealed and the whole town sees them atop the statue. Moments later, it starts to tip over to the side; the gang evacuates and the statue shatters when it hits the ground. Mr Boyd exclaims "You six are in the biggest trouble ever!"

Later on the local TV News channel, Bert expresses his anger and gives the children the name "The Destructive Six." He reveals that Mayor Frisbee will conduct a secret meeting to decide a punishment for the kids. The next day while on the way to school, the children decide that they will apologize to Principal Prickly and explain their side of the story. Later, they are forbidden from recess and from seeing Prickly. They are given punishments by Mr Boyd that he thought were 'appropriate'. For several days the kids had to clean the floor with toothbrushes, peel onions and cut grass on the playground with scissors, while wearing orange coveralls, like prisoners. Bendy tells C.J. and the rest of the gang that he wishes he could have done something so bad that he would have landed on the news, but Mr Boyd orders him to go back to the Circle. During the punishment, Mayor Frisbee tells them they will be attending a hearing with himself as the judge since the council has decided a punishment: to send the six of them to six separate schools. This shocks everyone, even an outraged Mr Boyd and Principal Prickly protest that this sort of punishment is a little too extreme. C.J. is at a loss for a plan when Mr Boyd asks if she has one.

The gang's parents tried to get an appeal but were denied. At the hearing in city hall, C.J. gives the gang's genuine apology, stating that the friendship between the gang can't be broken than the statue itself. However, Frisbee refuses to accept the apology (despite Prickly's protest on behalf of the kids) and as he is about to declare the punishment, Bile T. Ninety-Eighth C (grandson of Bile T. Ninety-Eighth XCVIII) enters city hall.

Ninety-Eighth berates Frisbee for treating the kids like felons and shows everyone a slide projection of photos of Boyd, Prickly, and others climbing the statue together when they were children, which Boyd is a little embarrassed at, and Prickly fondly recalls. However, Ninety-Eighth next pays extra attention to Mayor Frisbee as a young boy in the photo, the only one actually trying to break the statue by pushing it over. Ninety-Eighth tells Frisbee that the kids can't be punished for doing things that kids have always done, and always will do; one might as well punish them for being shorter than adults. He berates Frisbee as a "jingle-headed public servant" and reminds him when someone apologizes for an accident (and accidents will happen), the matter is closed and sternly "strongly urges" him to do so. Recognizing that pursuing the matter will only make him look even worse, Mayor Frisbee quickly proclaims the matter closed and pardons the kids, to which everybody celebrates; even Prickly and Boyd hug each other in relief. The kids then thank Ninety-Eighth for vouching for them.
