Go To

After seeing the Kikiwaka heading toward the camp, Ravi and Tiffany called the police waking everyone up, but the Kikiwaka wasn't here. Tiffany and Ravi told everyone they saw the Kikiwaka, but no one believes them, especially Zuri, and they pin cones at them for waking them up and they all went back to sleep leaving Ravi and Tiffany humiliated.

The next morning, everyone is setting up stands and decorations for the Kikiwaka Day Festival and Emma, Lou and Hazel are competing to sell more food to make the most money so one of them can become Kikiwaka queen and dance with Xander who's wearing a Kikiwaka suit. That night, Emma and Lou worked to together so Xander wouldn't have to dance with Hazel so Xander sings a rap song while Emma and Lou danced to the music to get everyone attention. When Emma got back from using the bathroom and Lou who went to get her face painted, they found that their stands were destroyed by Hazel so later they told Hazel that while she was gone they put putriberries in her burgers. Hazel said they make people sick so she knocks the burgers off the peoples' hands and gives their money back.

Meanwhile, Gladys ordered 300 Kikwaka dolls but got kick balls instead. Zuri offered to help Gladys by letting the kids make the dolls. Gladys said Zuri can have whatever she wants and Zuri said she wants to use the shower because she heard the water is actually hot and Gladys agrees. Zuri had the campers make the dolls by telling them whoever finishes 20 dolls gets pizza. Gladys said that she needs 200 more dolls and said that Zuri can use the hot showers for the rest of the summer. Jorge said he was finished with his dolls and that he's going to get his face painted, but Zuri said he can't and she accidentally said if they don't make 200 more dolls, Gladys won't let her use the hot showers. The campers were mad that they were being used and that Zuri didn't actually order pizza for them so they stormed out of the mess hall protesting. Gladys told Zuri to make them go back to work, but Zuri said she doesn't care about the hot showers and made up with her friends by ordering them pizza and they forgive Zuri.

Meanwhile, Ravi and Tiffany were looking at a book about the Kikiwaka and they planned to lure it by using putriberries. They went into the woods and went behind a tree to wait for the Kikiwaka, but they didn't have to wait long when they saw the Kikiwaka on top of the tree and they ran from it while Tiffany films it. They hid in a tree log, but the Kikiwaka claws went through the log because it wanted the putriberries in Ravi's backpack. Ravi took off his backpack giving them a chance to run from the horrifying creature. They went back to camp and told Gladys they have video proof of the real Kikiwaka and she tells them to put it on. Everyone gathered to see the video, but when Ravi turned the camera on, it was revealed Tiffany had the camera on selfie mode showing a video of Ravi and Tiffany running for their lives with Ravi saying he wants his mommy and Tiffany saying she doesn't want her mommy. Everyone boos and laughs at the video. Ravi and Tiffany feel even more humiliated, but Ravi and Tiffany said they're glad to be outcasts together.

The girls didn't get to be Kikiwaka queen, but Xander was still upset because Gladys got to be Kikiwaka Queen and they danced by themselves with everyone watching.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Aborted Arc: Ravi and Tiffany have never resumed their quest to expose the Kikiwaka as of this episode.
  • Cassandra Truth: Only Ravi and Tiffany witness the Kikiwaka monster and no one would believe them. When they get footage for proof, it turns out they left the camera in selfie mode the whole time and are humiliated.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: After running from the Kikiwaka, alert viewers will notice Tiffany is holding her camera the wrong way.
  • Idiot Ball: Tiffany and Ravi somehow don't remember to use the putriberries to lure the Kikiwaka all the way to the camp, rather than directly to them.
  • I Want My Mommy!: Tiffany said this in the video when running from the Kikiwaka. Inverted by Ravi when he said, "I don't want my mommy!"
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Tiffany and Ravi managed to get the proof of the Kikiwaka, but Tiffany had the camera in selfie mode the whole time so all they got was themselves running from it.
  • You Have to Believe Me!: Ravi and Tiffany's problem.
