Kirby Buckets season 1 episode 9 titled "Mac's Back" showcases the return of Kirby's best friend Mac after he had moved to Australia six months ago. Kirby is overjoyed to see his friend and the two are excited to carry on their adventures as before. However, Mac has returned with a change, which Kirby is yet to discover.

Kirby organizes a welcome back party for Mac at his home and invites all his friends. Mac is welcomed to a new setup of Kirby's home, which has been entirely redecorated to match his taste. As the party progresses, Kirby and Mac engage in their favorite pastime of creating animations using Kirby's dream board. However, they create an unfortunate mistake that puts Kirby's family in danger.

Kirby's older sister Dawn takes them to task and confiscates the dream board. Dawn believes that the board is causing more harm than good and decides to dispose of it by throwing it in the trash.

Oblivious to Kirby and Mac, the board lands on a recycling truck. Kirby's dilemma becomes of extreme concern when they learn that Kirby's villainous animation has been brought to life by a freak electrical surge from the recycling truck. Kirby and Mac need to retrieve the dream board before the villains in the animation harm their family and friends.

Kirby, Mac, and the team devise a plan to infiltrate the recycling plant where the dream board was taken to. In their attempt to recover the board, the team encounters new challenges. They run into factory workers, guard dogs, and a bully that Kirby had a previous run-in with.

As they inch closer to the dream board, Kirby and Mac are welcomed with a shocking discovery. It turns out that the electrical surge did not only bring the villainous character to life but also Mac's favorite cartoon character, Gironimo. Gironimo is a character from Mac's favorite Japanese animated show that he watched while in Australia.

Kirby and Mac devise a new plan to retrieve the dream board while saving Gironimo. They trade places with the villains and lure Gironimo with some snacks. They manage to rescue Gironimo and retrieve the dream board before making a daring escape.

With Kirbys' villainous creation back within the confines of the dream board, all is well. The episode closes with Kirby happy with the safe return of the dream board, Mac, and the realization of what they can do together.
