Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: The Trouble with Scribbles

Bloo discovers a secret door at Foster's, but is told that nobody is ever to open it again. This of course makes Bloo even more curious, especially when he learns that pretty much everyone except him, knows what lies behind it. Curiosity eventually gets the best of him and he opens the door, to discover "Scribbles". Scribbles are basically unwanted or incomplete imaginary friends that were considered pests by everyone else, so they were simply locked up. Mac and Bloo don't support that way of thinking and try to free the Scribbles.

Recap

The episode begins with everybody cleaning up the house, and Bloo helping out by spraying air freshener. Mac and Frankie wants him to stop because spraying air freshener is not cleaning, but Bloo says that he is cleaning the air cleaning and freshening, so Frankie wants him to find someother place to clean and freshen. Bloo agrees and runs off. After dashing off Bloo sees a mysterious door, but Frankie and Mr. Herriman block him from entering the door saying that there are secrets behind the door. He tells him that he will pay the ultimate price, and Bloo tries to give him 7 cents, however Mr. Herriman tells him that actually he will get in trouble. Bloo talk to Wilt, Ed, and Coco about the secret door so Wilt carries him away. Bloo then begins to bug everybody about the secret door but still nobody tells him. A friend on a rocking chair explains that they had made a pact that they would never speak of it again. Bloo yells in frusteration and when he goes to sleep he dreams of the secret door and the secrets that they were keeping from him. Bloo can't take it anyvody so he runs to the secret door and opens it to see a small like thing come out and it plays with Bloo, and a few seconds later a giant amount of the things flew out. The next day Mac opens the door to fosters and sees a wave of those things. Furious, Mac asks a mad Frankie where Bloo is. Mac asks him he likes making everybody's life miserable, but Bloo says that they are great and calls them friends. Mr. Herriman says that they are imaginary friends created by babies, so Mac asks why they keep them locked up. Mr. Herriman says that they are mindless and annoying. Apparently Frankie had opened the door when she was younger, and Mac says that it is not fair because they have rights just like everybody else. Then Mac decides to let all the scribbles free, but Frankie ends up catching both Mac and Bloo. After being caught they brainstormed about what to do and Mac couldn't think about anything. Bloo was using the scribbles to do chores, and after complaining about Bloo because everybody thinks they are useless and he doesn't see how you using them to do chores and stuff is going to make people think that they are helpful, he realizes that doing chores is a pretty good idea. The friends like the scribbles helping around, but Frankie overloads a scribble because a scribble can only do one thing. Frankie wonders how useful that is, but soon enough she likes them as well. However the scribbles help was turning the friends into lazy slobs who don't do anything for themselves, and Bloo wonders why Mac thinks this has gone too far... on a giant bed of scribbles. Mac feels that everybody is not doing anything and wants to go play with Bloo, however Bloo tries to get a scribble to play with Mac. Mr. Herriman has some scribbles helping him but he snaps because he has a system. Mac and Mr. Herriman are complaining, and they run into eachother, and Mac says that this is horrible because all he wanted was for the scribbles to be free. Mr. Herriman says that this is the personal cost one pays for freedom, and once again Bloo tries to pay him with money. Then some people come wanting to adopt a friend, and adopt a scribble. That gives them idea and people adopt all of the scribbles so Mac and Mr. Herriman argu about whose idea it was. Frankie and Bloo then tries to get the person with pne of the last scribbles to not take it, but fail. Frankie and Bloo then tries in disappointment, saying that they are all gone. Suddenly 1 scribble flies by them, Frankie hopes that it is the toilet scrubber, but it is actually Bloo's favorite: the scribble that does raspberries for him. Mr. Herriman and Mac slap their heads onto their heads out of frusteration as Bloo and the scribble do raspberries at eachother. The episode ends there. ..
