Nicole looked nervous and embarrassed about these random outburts. "Look, maybe i should probably just cut to the chase. How can I be a better mother to Gumball?" Nicole ask the doctor in the psychiatrist office

The shrink was a little uncertain about this kind of question. Every parent is different with their own parenting methods on how they raise their children, and ultimately, the doctor replied: "Nicole, In my humble opinion, and in my forty years of being a family therapist, there is not really any right or wrong answer. But you can try apologizing to Gumball for not being a great mother. Calmly sit him down in his mattress, or in the couch, either one, and talk it over."

"Yeah. I mean, a little talking can't hurt anybody, right?" Nicole took another sip of water. "And... maybe there is a way to help with my anger and emotions."

"Well, i have a few tricks up my sleeve." the shrink went into his small drawer and there was some therapy toys or squishies for Nicole to try out and relieve her anger. First, he gave her a small squishy ball that looked like the Earth. "This usually works like a charm." he gave the soft Earth ball to Nicole. "So go on, and try it. Squeeze it with all your might

the cat woman let out a sigh and replied: "OK then." she began squeezing the ball over and over again, and the anger and stress inside of her was slowly going away like hiccups. Yes, this method can work out for her after all. Maybe she didn't need to do any "Yoga lessons" with her hippie sister after all. Little did Nicole know that she was forgetting how strong she was with her inner strength, that after five more squeezes on the soft ball, she just... popped it that stuffing was on both sides of the room

Everyone made a yelp and, including the doctor, looking shocked at what just happened.

"Oh my gosh!" Nicole gasped. "I am so sorry, doctor. I... i didn't mean to do that." she looked very embarrassed and ashamed.

"No, no, that is quite alright, Nicole. The ball was getting old anyway." going back to his little box, the doctor pulled out more and more toys for Nicole to try out. But, it wasn't so much use. Toy after toy, Nicole just ended up accidentally breaking them one by one.

The doctor himself looked shocked at how all of his therapy toys were destroyed, and realized that Nicole may be a hopeless case.

Richard, Darwin, and Anais were as shocked at the doctor and Nicole were. This could be the most failed case that the doctor had in his many years of psychiatric experience.

"Doctor, I am so so sorry about it all of your toys." Nicole said, trying to put some of them back together. "I'll- I'll pay for them for you."

"No, no, it's quite alright." The shrink reassured her. "These toys are not that expensive anyway. I can always buy some more of them."

"Well, I don't think this is going to work out." Said Anais.

"I really hate to say this, little girl, but I think you are right."

"look, the reason why I am like that is because of my own parents." Nicole sounded bitter over mentioning them. "They were always very strict to me, and always expected me to do over the top things that no one else can do. My stress was because of my mother, and my anger was because of my father. They just drove me crazy, and they never even said they loved me!" Before everyone knew it, Nicole had tears in her eyes, and broke down crying in her hands. "And they always loved my sister more than me anyway!"

Richard, being a loving and caring husband that he is, comforted Nicole by hugging her close to him like a living teddy bear. "There there, honey." The obese rabbit tried soothing him. "I'm sure that's not true."

"Yes it is, Richard!" Nicole sobbed. "They always gave her some love and care and said that they loved her. They loved Penelope as they had never loved me." Then she buried her head in Richard's left nipple.

Meanwhile, Gumball was hanging out with Pipsqueak and Fluttershy in the cottage, and Pip's parents allowed him to hang out with the cat boy.

Both boys were reading some comic books together, and they were becoming more and more close together, almost... like brothers.

"So, Gumball," said Pip. "You have a brother that's a talking fish?"

"I know, it's weird. But like I said, the entire world where I'm from is so weird. My world will be like a weird fever dream to you when you see it."

"You want to hear my fever dream many months ago?" Pip smiled. "I got very sick with Hay Fever one time that I was seeing living bubbles and rainbow around me, and rocks were talking to me."

Gumball laughed. "That does sound like a fever dream. But I know a guy named Larry, who's also a living, talking rock. He works so many different jobs in my town, you can find him working anywhere. Fast food, retail, convenience stores, hotel jobs, you name it."

"Wow. How does he keep track of all those jobs with just one guy?"

"That... is a good question." Gumball admitted. "Everyone wonders that." He gasped. "What if he has super speed?"

Pip gasped right after. "Ooh, like Fili-Second from Power Ponies!" he turned back to the page he had read before this one, and looked at the super speed superhero in it. "Did you ever think of that?"

"I haven't, Pip. That would be so cool. Or... what if he can clone himself?" Gumball had another theory.

"Ooh. Yeah, what are the odds of one man running an entire city when it comes to business? He had to have clone himself, Gumball."

"Well one thing i know is that, Larry is the main driving of Elmore's economy, otherwise everything will fall into a total apocalypse."

Pip laughed. "Come on, that can't happen at all."

"It has, Pip. Believe me." Gumball pointed. "I've seen it with my own eyes." he pulled out his phone to show his pony friend the kind of horrible event that happened in his own town when Larry just went on strike.

"Wow." said Pip. "I don't mean to offend you, Gumball, but... you're world is kind of a mess."

"None taken. Saying that would be an understatement.
