I've got an episode idea! It's not much, but here's the basic premise! "Looking for Love In All the Wrong Ponds" When Valentine's Day comes around the New York City Zoo, the Penguins can't help but notice that other animals are falling in love with members of the opposite gender. But since Skipper and his follower penguins are trained professionals, Skipper makes them all swear that they will have nothing to do with love or members of the opposite gender until and/or unless they one day grow tired of the spy business! Ironically enough, at the same time, Marlene finds an abandoned perfume bottle accidentally dropped into her habitat. Unaware of what it is supposed to do, Marlene decides to spray it on after her daily swim. Not only does she find herself smelling attractive, there is even one animal who despite his head-strong behavior and stead-fast constitution, finds himself the victim of Cupid's arrow! When Skipper gets a whiff of the scent Marlene has, he inexplicably (to the other Penguins) falls head over feet in love with Marlene, and is going to great lengths to win her love! The penguins think that they must come up with a plan to save Skipper who has 'undoubtedly' become hypnotized; but without their leader, the penguins are having a tough time focusing on a single, concrete plan, so they eventually decide to split up and try their different methods. Private tries to beg and plead with Skipper, but that doesn't work. Kowalski tries to reason and bargain with Skipper, but that doesn't work. Rico just tries to stop Skipper from hanging out with Marlene, but all of his props, explosives, and traps, just end up backfiring on Rico and the other penguins! And with Skipper being Skipper, currently determined to do ANYTHING to win Marlene's love, is secretly taking Marlene for a day out in the town, into forbidden human territory where they go to watch movies, play video games, see broadway plays, ride on carnival attractions at Coney Island, and even see some of the great sites of New York City. such as the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Eventually, Marlene gets hit by Cupid's arrow to, and falls head over heels in love with Skipper. Eventually, when the other Penguins realize that none of their plans have worked or will work in dealing with Skipper's 'problem,' the Penguins decide they're going to have to ask for help from the notorious lemurs known as Julien, Maurice, and Mort! Julien says that the best way to deal with a 'female' problem is to make the male jealous with a much more attractive mate who can do much more to woo and attract her. When Skipper eventually realizes he can't compete with Julien in matters of love, Skipper will snap out of his 'condition' and Julien can then dump Marlene so that she will snap out of her love-induced state as well. Of course, to get Julien's help, the penguins WILL have to agree to one condition, and that's one month of allowing the lemurs to get private, personalized TV viewing at the penguins habitat. Will the penguins agree to it?
What do you think? Not bad for my first attempt of writing an episode idea for this series! Enough said!
