A problem with the grease traps at work causes a ginormous, greasy mess all around town.
Episode Summary[]
One day at work, Troy is busy looking at all the excess grease in the grease traps at work, just out of complete curiosity. Everything looks fascinating to him, but all of a sudden, there's an alarm sounding. Troy panics and tells everyone to evacuate the building. As soon as that happens, the building explodes and grease flies all over town!
Olivia is busy enjoying the nice summer sun. But it is all ruined by the greasy mess that ensues. Olivia is genuinely angry about this. She wonders what could have possibly have happened. She wonders if there's a way to clean this mess up. She doesn't think a 10-second tidy-up is gonna do the trick. She wonders if there's anyone in town that could maybe build a machine to clean everything up. Meanwhile, the grease is having bad affects on everyone in town. Traffic is stopped and slippery, people are messy, and residents can't leave their homes.
Olivia runs into a professor named Professor Smarts. She wonders if he could possibly clean up the grease. She confronts him and to her luck, he is able to do such things. He gets building, and is done in no time. He thinks he built a better machine than that triangle headed kid he met once. He tries to fire up the machine, but it then gets covered in grease. Professor Smarts can't believe he wasted his time with that machine. Olivia wonders if there are any other solutions. She then wonders if anybody is hungry.
Luckily, one of her former co-workers, Chris, is quite hungry. He decides to chow down on all the grease around town. He feels extremely sick afterwards, but he was happy to help the townspeople out. Olivia is happy and now she can resume her tanning. Chris is rushed to the ER to get all the grease pumped out of his stomach. All the excess grease is then filtered into a giant drain. But something is going on with all the grease...
