Advance Guard from Another World
Jim and Gene are short on cash. They put out ads but the offers they get are for too little money. Aisha Clan-Clan tries to get them interested in a job hunting down and killing a creature in the sewer but they kick her out when they hear what the pay will be.
Jim and Melfina end up taking a job that they hear about from Fred Luo. Gene is a little too proud to help out. Jim and Melfina go looking for an escaped inset and a plant. It doesn't take them long to figure out that the insect is the creature in the sewer that Aisha is searching for.
Gene meets up with an acquaintance, a woman. They go to get ice cream. Something weird is going on with the ice cream stand. It is extremely popular but the ice cream is not very good. There is a large cactus in the ice cream shop. Everyone (Jim, Gene, Melfina, Aisha) converges on the ice cream stand. The cactus starts to put out some strange vibes.
The cactus speaks through Jim. It claims to be superior to all humans and keeps them away but Melfina is able to approach it. She smashes the cactus, killing it.
The narration at the beginning of this episode is about the six alien races with whom humans have come into contact.
Twilight Suzuka is also in this episode but she doesn't play a big part.
This episode doesn't feel like it advances the plot very much. It feels like it is played more for laughs than anything else. I have no recollection if this plant or any others like it play a part in future episodes.
