Tadc episode 3

The episode opens with the characters surrounding Pomni, who's attempting to hold her breath, but being unsuccessful, Jax reminds her they can't die from asphyxiation, despite it feeling the same, as he wants to see what Pomni does when she holds it for long enough. Ragatha and Kinger try to give positive encouragement as Pomni reattempts. She ends up having her face change colours in a speed increasing hue shift. Jax explains different things happen to everyone who holds their breath for long periods - Kinger glows, Ragatha's hair sticks up, Gangle's mask spins, and Zooble 'turns straight', Zooble tries to correct him, saying their limbs simple straighten, before flipping him off. Jax refuses to show what happens to him, as he asks 'the viewers' what they think it is, annoying Zooble.

Caine flies into the gang's time, wondering why they aren't getting ready for the adventure. He reveals The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor - a mansion filled with paranormal activity, where the cast has to solve mysteries and capture ghosts. Before announcing more, Caine notices Zooble is once again absent from the cast, panicking as he made the adventure 'really cool and mature' for them. Though they are still no where to be found, causing Caine to freeze in place, and Bubble to speak backwards while flying from the bottom of the screen to the top. Pomni questions if the NPCs will become self-aware again, to which Caine is unsure, despite being the boss. He then opens the portal to the adventure. The five venture into the mansion, with Ragatha wondering how scary it will be. Pomni just hopes it won't be a terrible nightmare, as she hates horror and jumpscares. After saying this, Jax jumpscares her, laughing at how timid it was, asking if she's scared of vacuums too, to which Ragatha shuts him down over, telling him about the rough times she's had. Jax comments everyone's had rough times. Gangle and the rest hear odd laughter coming from the doors as a ghostly silhouette enters, laughing at them. Pomni's eyes launch out of her sockets in fear, as the now cute ghost, Ghostly, introduces himself as their guide for the day. Pomni's eyes fall to the ground, though still attached to her eye-sockets. She picks them up, questioning why they won't go back in. Kinger reminisces on his first 'wild take', though also doesn't know why the eyes won't retract.

Ghostly advises the group to choose which door to go through: either the 'normal door' - which is labeled as rated wow for all ages. Otherwise, they can go to the 'scary door' - which is labeled as rated AAAAA for 'mature Zoobles' only. Before Ghostly can further speak, Jax sucks him into his vacuum. He comments he thought they were supposed to capture all the ghosts when Ragatha shouts at him for it. Gangle asks him which door they should choose as Kinger continues to try and help Pomni, to which Jax grabs Gangle's comedy mask off her face and throws it into the scary door, upsetting Gangle. Kinger rushes into the nearly opened passageway to retrieve it, not noticing he's still holding onto Pomni's eye, dragging her down with him. The remaining three look on mostly in horror, as Jax is happy he found which door was the scary one.
