When a physical reveals that Maurice is an Aye-Aye, he sets out to the Aye-Aye Kingdom to find out who he really is.
Tropes:
- Adventures in Comaland: Julien falls off a tree and hits his head, putting him in a deep sleep. During this time, he dreams of an alternate reality where Maurice didn't exist, showing what would become of his kingdom if there was no one to reject his more outlandish ideas.
- Big Sister Instinct: Maurice's older sister Brosalind is so glad to see that he's alive, she does everything she can to protect him even when the other Aye-aye want to have Maurice killed like he was supposed to be, denouncing the religious beliefs she grew up with in the process.
- Call-Back:
- In Julien's alternate reality dream, Julien became king when the birthday prank that originally got Rob exiled from the kingdom instead gave Uncle King Julien a heart attack, killing him.
- Maurice is told he was meant to be a sacrifice to the Bell Gods worshiped by the aye-aye that Maurice had recalled seeing as a child in "Love Gauntlet".
- The Chosen One: Whenever an unusually beautiful Aye-Aye is born to the Aye-Aye kingdom, that baby is known as the Chosen One, and is abandoned on the outskirts of the kingdom as a sacrifice to the Old Bell Gods.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Julien's dream shows that Maurice is one to him.Inner Julien: There should always be someone to say no to you. You know how dangerous you are when you're left unattended!
- Continuity Cavalcade: Julien's coma dream about life without Maurice is full of nods of his harebrained decrees in the past three seasons had Maurice not be around to tell him no.
- Continuity Nod: Julien found Maurice as a baby in the bushes, an event that is described as finding him in a Baby Patch. All of the details in the story match Julien's idea of where babies come from, suggesting this event is why Julien grew up assuming baby lemurs grow in bushes.
- Crisis Makes Perfect: Learning that he is an Aye-Aye, Maurice wonders why he doesn't have a musk gland, and tries but fails to trigger it, only to get it right when he needs to use it to fight of the mountain lemurs.
- Doorstop Baby: While on vacation with his parents, a baby Julien found baby Maurice abandoned in the bushes, and the two became friends ever since.
- Dream Emergency Exit: To wake up from his dream, Julien has to get someone to punch him. Clover is willing, but is too out of shape, so Julien just runs into her fist.
- For Want Of A Nail: Julien goes into a coma where he dreams of life in the Kingdom without Maurice; a complete wreck as Rob becomes his advisor instead and he lets Julien do anything he wants without saying no.
- Formerly Fit: In Julien's dream, Clover was fired from head of security because Julien considered security unnecessary, so she has become morbidly obese.
- Funny Animal Anatomy: The fact that Maurice doesn't look anything like the other Aye-Aye characters is an important plot point here.
- Internal Reveal: As it turns out, none of the characters knew Maurice was an Aye-Aye, Maurice included.
- Produce Pelting: Ted's singing at the bar gets the customers throwing fruit at him. When he decides to do some improv, they switch to chairs.
- Toilet Humor: When the mountain lemurs capture the aye-aye in sacks so that any attempt to use their musk gets the smell trapped inside the bag instead, Ted relates with his IBS in such unnecessary detail, the mountain lemurs decide to shove him into a sack too for good measure.
- Wham Line:Bell God Dingbert: Maurice, the Chosen One has returned!
Bell God Ringo If this is true, the prophecy foretold by the great Jingle-Jangle has come to pass!
Dingbert: You mean...
Ringo: Yes, Dingbert, The war of the beasts has begun!
