| Synopsis | The crew of The Corporation ship Big Surprise are bored until they encounter a motel in outer space. A landing-team (of Spark, Jirk, Snott and Bone) beam into The Oasis Motel and avoid being thrown out by paying with Snott's old TV Guides. Jirk gets drunk and tells a joke involving a zeltan and a zeltan is offended. Some Woofriders are in a forest until they get sucked into a space portal which transports them to the Oasis Motel. Spark accidentally kills the zeltan with a volkan nervous pinch. The other people in the bar get angry at Spark and the rest of the landing-team but a brawl is averted by the arrival of the Woofriders. Bob Greggat tries to sell Thadeus Hoolittle a troublet, Thadeus refuses and suggests Greggat go to the bar to find potential buyers. The Woofriders rampage around the bar in search of food. Greggat shows a troublet to Jirk who looks interested (or thinks it is cute). Woofriders see the troublet and loudly proclaim their intent to eat it. Jirk and Shredder fight for the troublet until Jirk dunks it into a mug of beer. |

He quickly explains where The Ass-Men are. The Ass-men start chasing Fraz and ignore Thadeus who tells them Fraz is just a bellhop. Marvelous Mule starts getting a headache and a shadowy figure peeks from behind a door that is open slightly and gloats that Mastermule will control Marvelous Mule into destroying The Ass-Men. Thadeus notices Marvelous Mule is in pain but she yells at him and her face and costume start to change. The ass-men start running from Fraz when he appears with a machine gun and they retreat back the way they came until they encounter Bad Ass (the evil form of Marvelous Mule). |
