## Plot

The episode begins with a commercial for a discontinued cereal called "Super Sweeto Cavity Blast'ems", so sweet it turns the milk into soda and was taken off the market in one hour. Thankfully, Bobby the Elder had managed to get the last remaining box in existence. Just as everyone has their bowls and spoons ready to try it, disaster strikes as the box is empty, much to everyone's horror. Dot notices on the box that there's a booger on it, and it's fresh and huge. The only kid she knows with that kind of snot build up is Pinkeye. She believes he ate the cereal, but he denies such an act. If Pinkeye is found guilty, he will be forced to wear a very uncomfortable and chafing suit.

The girls take him to their HQ where they interrogate him to find out anything they can from him, having The Bow act as a lie detector thanks to her ability to read thoughts. When Pinkeye assures them that he didn't eat the cereal, The Bow, to her own surprise, finds out he's telling the truth. Instead, he has an alibi: he was at the Forever Mud Puddle having a mud bath with Billy. In the mud, a retainer comes out and Dot believes it's from Pinkeye's, since he has poor dental work.

Bobby, thanks Dot for bringing the real culprit to justice while patting her on the back. Dot tries to fit the retainer into Pinkeye's mouth, but it doesn't fit at all, so it's clear that he is innocent. Suddenly, the kids notice that Dot has some Cavity Blast'em crumbs on her back and accuse her of eating the cereal.

The girls bail into Pinkeye's backyard shed and need to find a way to clear her name. They find his shed which is riddled with sculptures he made out of boogers. They noticed that one of the boogers is actually a counterfeit one, and Dot puts two together. The kids find the girls and Dot reveals that the real culprit is none other than Bobby the Elder. Bobby denies it while he eats a Kale Chunk Bar, while Dot explains everything.

He took a sniff of the cereal and went crazy with temptation, eating it all up. He then took one of Pinkeye's boogers to place in the box, so he would take the fault. He also threw his retainer into the puddle to throw off any crumbs he had on it. And when he patted Dot on the back, he placed the crumbs on her so everyone would accuse her. Dot places the retainer in his mouth, and it's a perfect fit. Bobby confesses that it's true and ate the cereal, but only because he got tired of his kale bars. Now, the kids force Bobby to wear the suit...which he actually likes. Dot apologizes to Pinkeye for accusing him, and he forgives her, even giving her a sculpture he made of her, much to her delighted disgust.
