Description

Lost in Space...Camp / Super Hot Chocolate In an alternate storyline from "Suck Toad," we see Simon, Theodore, Jeanette, and Eleanor at space camp. Unfortunately, Theodore has a difficult time during his stay, between being separated from Simon - who was placed in a more advanced course than the others - and dealing with a bully who keeps harassing him after he ended up throwing up in an anti-gravity simulator. Unable to concentrate on his activities and exercises due to his misery, Theodore continually fails, and calls Alvin to have Dave come pick him up; upon hearing about his bullying problems, Alvin persuades Theodore to stand firm and show everyone what he's made of. Jeanette and Eleanor sneak Theodore into a spaceship simulator to help him get in a little extra practice, though the bully attempts to report them to the instructor. Realizing they accidentally slipped him into the advanced simulator, Jeanette and Eleanor enlist Simon to bring him back before they can be reported. For a school bake sale, Alvin tries a new recipe for "Super Hot Chocolate," thinking that "super hot" means that it should be as scalding hot as possible. Unable to resist temptation, Theodore samples the hot chocolate, only to severely burn his tongue to the point that it disables his tastebuds, and Alvin learns that the "super" part of the recipe name meant astounding. Theodore falls into depression due to being unable to taste anything, and after he begins dressing in black, isolating himself, and describing his misery in poetic ways, he soon garners a cult following among the rest of the students, who suddenly seem him as a wise sage. Desperate to snap Theodore out of his depression, his brothers and The Chipettes inform him that he will be able to taste again when his tongue heals.
