He Who Laughs Last

He Who Laughs Last is the third episode of UBOs.

Summary
Zarlak is plotting to remove all joy and laughter from the world so our heroes must stop him. Plus Verne learns from some trapped fairies how to to turn into a clown.

Plot
Verne is kept waiting by Cassy adjusting her hair and looking at herself in the mirror. But the mirror is a magic mirror and she uses it to turn her hair red before deciding she prefers her hair purple.

In class after watching Gus do impressions of Ms Crystalgazer they all learn the invisibility spell. It goes well on everyone except Verne who only manages to vanish his clothes. He is embarrassed and zaps his clothes back on.

Meanwhile Zarlak gets help from an old hag in kidnapping fairies. (Seriously, the first few episodes including this one onwards are just Zarlak being really petty and doing spiteful things like removing laughter from the world etc)

In town Cassie and Gus go invisible with the spell they just learnt to prank people. (They are supposed to be the heroes and setting Verne a good example yet they are pranking the poor townsfolk!)

Verne hasn’t got to grips with the invisibility charm and rather than risk being seen in his underwear again elects not to go invisible. Until he sees how fun it is and successfully casts invisibility but it wears off just as he is carrying a pie around pretending to be a ghost.

Suddenly a dark cloud makes the world gloomy and miserable. Even people become depressed and unhappy. Cassy, Gus and Verne return to the castle.

In a turret with Ms Crystalgazer, a kid who wanted to be in Naruto, fat red wizard pupil, Native American girl (Oh my god! They take students from Ilvermorny and Mahoutokoro!) the characters are trying to find out why the world suddenly got miserable and gloomy. Gus tries to make the oddly familiar gargoyles laugh. He magics up a platter with a rubber chicken a water seltzer and a cream pie on it. Cassie says he doesn’t time for that or it won’t work and squirts him with the water seltzer.

The trio go back to their dormitory and find inside the pages of UBOs the land of fairies. They go there expecting it to be fun and cute. It is instead dark and gloomy and they encounter Zarlak and Rowse and Snerrot. Verne gets separated and finds loads of fairies that resemble him in cages. One of them turns into a clown in a banana car Verne explains is like one he had at his birthday party once.

He reunites with his Friends but also unfortunately with Rowse and Snerrot as a giant two headed dragon. Verne turns into a clown with a shiny rubber red nose (And I go ballistic with my clown obsession!) “I don’t like clowns, they taste funny!” said the Rowse and Snerrot two headed dragon. Verne wonders where his banana car is and summons an ordinary banana instead. He slips on the banana and falls on his backside. The Rowse and Snerrot dragon laughs and tosses himself onto his back mimicking Verne.

Verne as a clown conjures up a hose that sprays mud and Rowse and Snerrot play with it.
