Allstar has Occy guard his Kelp Picker overnight. Meanwhile, Junior's making sure Allstar loses to Junior at the Kelp Festival. While the Governor tries on his kelp outfit, Junior gets out a box and puts it in Occy's playpin at Allstar's house. Out pops a purple female octopus, which Occy falls for as she lures him elsewhere.

Occy and the girl

It's the day of the Kelp Festival, and Allstar's machine is going bonkers. It flies out of control, almost hitting Willie and the girl octopus. Thankfully, Occy saves them in the nick of time. Occy notices Junior's getting ahead, so he cuts through the kelp and beats Junior. The Governor declares his son the "King of Kelp," but the girl reveals that Junior had taken all of Allstar's parts out of his machine. Occy is then crowned King of Kelp, and he chooses the girl as his queen. Junior learns that it "doesn't pay to cheat anymore."
