The big kids travel to Saturn to discover the truth. At the same time, Mitchell is also entering the baking contest, but he keeps getting nervous when around Mindy.

Mindy and Carrot are entering a cooking competition and are making desserts representing the different planets of the Solar System. But they hit a bump when they can’t remember if Saturn is cold on the inside and hot on the outside… or the other way around. Jet, Sydney, and Sean fly with Celery out to Saturn to find out before the competition begins, so Mindy and Carrot can finish their entry in time!

'''Curriculum''': The planets in our solar system can be divided into two categories -- terrestrial (inner planets) and gas (outer planets). Saturn is a gas planet that seems to have a hot solid inner core of iron and rocky material surrounded by an outer core probably composed of ammonia, methane, and water.

When Mitchell enters the house, he acts very socially awkward, speaking almost robot-like.
