Plot[]
Zombozo, at the mercy of toddlers
At an arcade, Max gives Ben and Gwen tokens. Excited to win prizes, Ben transforms into Cannonbolt and speeds away, accidentally leaving Gwen behind. Max intends to chase after them, but is distracted by a pinball machine. Meanwhile, Cannonbolt loses at a racing game, and rolls off in anger. He stops when he smells pizza, which he finds in a toddler play area. Cannonbolt then spots the toddlers wiping the pizza everywhere and playing with pink slime, grossing him out. He expresses sympathy for the party clown before rolling off, with Gwen close behind. Frightwig then enters the play area, and checks in on the party clown, revealed to be a depressed Zombozo. After a phone call with Acid Breath, she tries to remove the babies trampling Zombozo, only to find how sticky they are.
Frightwig notices the cousins messing around in the arcade, and decides she needs to get Zombozo out of the building so they don't further break him. She shows him a kid licking a swirled lollipop, which reminds him of his hypnotism discs. After some prodding, Zombozo regains his twisted composure and swipes away the snack from the toddler. He changes back into his usual outfit and gathers up the toddlers, tossing them into a ball pit. Using a hypno-disc, he hypnotizes the entire group. Meanwhile, Team Tennyson continue their usual arcade shenanigans, when suddenly, the playroom's door bursts open, unleashing a horde of hypnotized toddlers. As they cause chaos, Ben and Gwen notice Zombozo and Frightwig, with the former planning on looting the prize counter. As he wanders off, Frightwig confronts the cousins. Ben transforms into Slapback, but is met by a arcade cabinet flung his way. Gwen tries to strategize with him, but he runs into battle. Frightwig chases Slapback elsewhere in the arcade, leading to Zombozo. He calls out to him, but Frightwig manages to push him aside before Zombozo looks his way.
The Slapbacks are cornered
Slapback is knocked into a vending machine, splitting him into two. Frightwig tries to squeeze him with her hair, but only duplicates him twice over. She's forced to drop them, but strikes their backs, splitting them and making them tiny. She hands them a rattle, and suddenly, the Slapbacks are surrounded by toddlers that want to play with them. Frightwig leaves the retrieve Zombozo, though he doesn't want to leave. While the toddlers terrorize the Slapbacks, they are saved by Gwen, sticking them to a large teddy bear. The Slapbacks take the bear and place it in the play area, before timing out. Ben thanks Gwen, and they leave to deal with Frightwig and Zombozo.
Frightwig and Omni-Kix Heatblast banter
Frightwig pleads Zombozo for them to leave, but he refuses. She spots Ben, and he transforms into Omni-Kix Heatblast. They make a ruckus, but Frightwig blocks Zombozo's vision with an arcade machine. She continues to fight Omni-Kix Heatblast in secret, while Gwen goes to get Max for help. Max assumes Ben can handle the situation, but notes how sticky Gwen's hands are. Gwen gets an idea and rubs her hands on Frightwig's hair, tangling it in goo. Omni-Kix Heatblast blasts her with fire, accidentally destroying Max's pinball machine in the process. Zombozo turns around to see the cousins, and is prepared to handle them. However, before he can attack, he's grabbed by Frightwig, who carries him out the door. He laughs maniacally as they trudge down the street. Omni-Kix Heatblast questions if they should go after him, but Max points out how little damage he had done. Omni-Kix Heatblast reverts back to Ben, and decides to throw in the towel. Max proposes a way of getting the toddler's slime off of Ben and Gwen, which turns out to be hosing them down.
Frightwig: Zombozo! Are you ready to leave now, or what? Zombozo: I told you, I'm not doing the crime thing anymore. Frightwig: Don't you want to get the gang back together again? Zombozo: Sorry, kid, my 'get up and go' got up and went.

Frightwig: This really isn't necessary. Zombozo: Every criminal mastermind needs a criminal army. Frightwig: But they're just a bunch of sticky babies. Zombozo: And they're about to be a bunch of sticky hypnotized babies! (laughs)
When Zombozo reaches for the child's lollipop, the sleeve is from his usual outfit instead of the red coat he is wearing.
The arcade machine Frightwig places on the counter to obscure Zombozo's vision is absent from every following shot it should be in.

Trivia[]
This is one of the few episodes where the villain gets away with their crimes, as Max decides to let Zombozo and Frightwig go on account of them only stealing four dollars worth of stickers and trading cards.
