- July 28, 2016
In this episode of Bottersnikes & Gumbles season 1, titled "Undercover Gumble," the Bottersnikes come up with a plan to capture the elusive Gumbles. They know that the Gumbles always seem to be one step ahead of them, so they decide to send one of their own undercover to gather information.
The Bottersnikes choose Reg, the most disgruntled and anti-Gumble of them all, to go undercover as a Gumble. They give him a wig made of Gumble hair and a false persona to blend in with the Gumbles. At first, Reg is hesitant and doubtful that he will be able to pull off such a difficult task, but eventually he agrees to try.
As Reg begins to learn the ways of the Gumbles, he starts to see them in a different light. He observes how they interact with one another and how they use teamwork to overcome obstacles. He even sees how they are willing to put themselves in danger to save their fellow Gumbles.
Reg's undercover work pays off when he discovers that the Gumbles are planning to throw a party to celebrate their recent victory against the Bottersnikes. However, Reg also learns that the Gumbles are planning to use this party as a distraction to steal some supplies from the Bottersnikes' camp.
Reg is conflicted. He has grown to care for the Gumbles and doesn't want to see them get into trouble, but he also knows that he needs to remain loyal to the Bottersnikes. In the end, Reg decides to warn the Bottersnikes about the Gumbles' plans, and together they come up with a plan to stop the Gumbles from stealing their supplies.
The day of the party arrives, and both the Gumbles and the Bottersnikes are in attendance. Reg is torn between the two groups, trying to keep his undercover mission a secret while also trying to prevent the Gumbles from stealing. The tension builds as the Gumbles start to make their move, but Reg manages to stop them just in time.
After the failed heist, the Gumbles are disappointed and the Bottersnikes are elated. Reg has successfully done his job, but he feels a sense of guilt for betraying the Gumbles. As he reflects on his experience, he realizes that maybe the Gumbles aren't so different from the Bottersnikes after all and that there is a possibility for them to coexist peacefully.
Overall, "Undercover Gumble" is an entertaining and thought-provoking episode of Bottersnikes & Gumbles. It explores themes of loyalty, teamwork, and the dangers of prejudice. The writing is clever and the animation is well-done, making it a great show for both kids and adults.
