Gemtastic Frenzy

"Gemtastic Frenzy" is the seventh episode of Battle of the Breeds. It premiered on March 20, 2021. In this episode, Paw retells the story of his missing gem.

## Opening

The episode starts in the Box of Losers, Ruler is still upset over the unfair advantage that got him eliminated. Domino and Mug watch him lose it, swearing that he will kill Pudding when he gets out. Domino and Mug both agree that Ruler stands no chance. This leads to Ruler starting to cry out, "WHY?!"

## Contest

Everyone gathers around when Paw announces the next contest. He teleports them all to the beach and tells them a story about how when he was young, he got a special gem for his birthday. He lost it on a cruise ship and 30 years later, everyone's at the beach he's for sure thinks the gem is located. The contest is to pick 3 people from each team and go underwater. Cookie and Max both agree first. Caney is chosen by Droidy despite her not being able to swim. Lamp agree to go, only if GPS comes along because electronic buds must stick together. Battery excitingly asks to go, but Pencil Top doesn't want him going. Battery ignores him.

## Under the sea

Everyone searches for the gem, but have no luck. While underwater, the Shiny Glasses talk about their thalassophobia and then come across a Cake swimming underwater. The cake then exclaims that they are a prey for monsters who like cake. Suddenly, a giant tongue grabs the cake and pulls them into a hole with an echoing shriek. The three stare in horror.

## End of Contest

In a turn of events, Caney has the gemstone, but casually throws it away, which turns into a horrible mistake. Lamp grabs the gem and Max confronts him, but GPS gets in the way. Max throws a rock at GPS's helmet, breaks it and GPS drowns. Battery and Max get into a fight and the gem flies out of Lamp's grasp. It breaks Cookie's helmet causing her to drown as well.

Lamp walks onto the shore and gives Paw his gem, giving the Shiny Glasses their second win. The prize was that they were going to get recommended character to join their team, however TV convinces him to make it 2 recommended characters. Much to Rango's chagrin.
