The four Ghostbusters left the lab, and entered the kitchen.
Egon went to a nearby cabinet, took out a large bowl, headed to the refridgartor, took an ice tray out of the freezer, and poured all the ice cubes into the bowl.
"Egon, are you on some new fad diet?" asked Peter.
"It's for Winston," said Egon.
"I don't think he needs to diet."
The bowl of ice is for his hand.
I'm going to try to freeze the ring off his finger."
"That may work," said Ray.
Egon placed the bowl of ice onto the kitchen table and said, "Go ahead Winston."
"Well, OK then.
Worth a try," said Winston, as he took a seat and placed his hand in the ice bowl, in hopes that the ring will fall off.
While Winston tried the method, the other ghostbusters waited.
And waited.
And waited.
"Say guys, do you think I can take my hand out of the bowl now?
I'm starting to lose feeling in my fingers," asked Winston.
"Go ahead," Ray answered.
Winston then took his hand out of the bowl.
And was slightly peeved to see that the ring was still on his finger.
"Maybe you can finally get it off now," said Peter.
Winston once again tried to remove the ring, however, not only was he still not able to get it off, but knocked over the bowl of ice on the ground in the process.
Thankfully the bowl was unbreakable.
But there was ice and water all over the floor.
Egon went to get a mop and bucket and Peter grabbed some paper towels to clean up the mess.
"Sorry about that," said Winston.
"That's OK.
It was worth a try, said Ray.
"What about the opposite of ice?
Steam and heat?" Peter suggested.
"That may work," Egon answered.
Ray took a teapot out of the cupboard, filled it with water and placed it on the stove.
As he turned the dial on the stove, Ray said to Winston," Place your finger by the spout, maybe the steam will make the ring fall off."
Within moments of putting the teapot on, steam began to spray out of the spout.
However, the amount of steam increased and a huge patch of it cascade the kitchen.
Winston made his way to open the window, but ended up bumping into Peter and nearly knocked Egon out of his seat.
"Hey watch it Zeddmore," said Peter.
"Winston please try to be careful," Egon added.
"Sorry you guys.
It's hard to see anything with all this steam," said Winston, as he finally managed to get the window open.
Just then the ghostbusters heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Everything OK up here guys?" asked a voice.
"Yeah we're fine Jeanie.
Everything's under control," Ray called.
"For the most part," Peter added.
"Any luck getting that ring off?" Jeanie asked Winston.
"I tried the soap and water trick, but that didn't work," Winston answered.
"We also tried ice and steam.
None of them work either," Egon added.
"So that's what it was, said Jeanie, I though for a minute it was an experiment gone wrong one of you was trying to cook something."
Speaking of cooking, anyone else hungry?" asked Peter.
A few moments later, after the steam finally cleared the kitchen, everyone had a quick bite to eat.
The ghostbusters had leftover pizza from the night before, while Jeanie had a tuna salad that she brought from home.
After eating, Ray was putting the plates in the sink when a thought popped into his head.
He then took a large bowl from the cupboard, opened the fridge and began to remove serval items.
"Ray what are you doing?" asked Winston.
"I just thought of a trick that my great Auntie Stantz used to removed stuck rings, answered Ray, as he poured a mixture of soy sauce and yogurt into the bowl, among other, Do we have any hot sauce and peanut butter?"
"Yes.
We always keep the handy when I'm in the mood for a pb and hot sauce sandwich," said Peter.
"Great."
Ray then mixed the two ingredients into the bowl.
"Raymond, are you sure you know what you're doing?" asked Egon.
"I sure do," Ray answered, as he stirred the items in the bowl.
He took the spoon out of the bowl and said, Perfect.
It's ready.
Put your hand in the bowl."
While Winston seemed very skeptical, he sat down and placed his hand in the bowl.
"I guess whatever works, he said, By the way, how long do I keep my hand in here?"
"About an hour," Ray answered.
As a way of passing the time, Ray and Peter played a game of cards, Jeanie read a magazine and Egon adjusted a PKE meter, meanwhile all Winston could do was look at the clock and wait, and wait and wait.
Exactly one hour later, Winston was allow to take his hand out of the bowl.
Winston's entire hand up to his forearm was covered in residue for Ray's elixir.
"Now just rinse off that residue off your hand and that ring should slide off like butter," said Ray.
Winston went to the sink to clean off his hand, then tried to take the ring off, but it was still stuck.
"Sorry much for your brilliant plan," Peter said to Ray.
"I don't understand unless, said Ray, Now I remember that remedy was for face blemishes.
I must have gotten the two mix-up silly me."
Winston, Peter, Egon and Jeanie all gave a look to Ray.
"It really doesn't matter now Raymond, just please dispose of whatever that is.
Even with the window open, the scent is still over powering," said Egon.
"Yes please," Jeanie added.
"I agree.
And I've changed Oscar a few times," said Peter grabbing his nose.
Ray took the bowl off the table, but slipped a bit on some water, leftover from the ice treatment.
Though he didn't fall, as he grabbed onto a chair, the bowl slipped out of Ray's hands, and the contents covered Winston.
"Aww Damn it!" Winston snapped.
"Reminds me of the first time Oscar threw up on me," said Peter.
Frustated by what was happening to him, Winston leave the kitchen fuming.
"Poor Winston.
All the bad luck he's been having," said Jeanie.
"Not to mention he's running out of clean clothes," Peter added.
