But it didn't. A squishy? What's this guy for? For your emotions. Why? Because Follow the leader is starting today. No. I just...

I don't get it. Why would they do that on our first day back at school? Okay, let's not try and kill the squishy. And yeah, they love to watch us suffer. I got mine already. Mine's still loading. What's yours? Wear a costume to school.

I'm already at school. And I'm not in costume. You could raid the drama department's costumes. Yes! Wait, wasn't the last play they did Shrek? I'm gonna look like him. Remember the consequences of not following the leader last year? People are growing third eyes and legs!

Oh yeah. And when you failed, you couldn't stop levitating. You were like the real Miles Morales just hanging up on the ceiling. That wasn't funny. That was the worst day of my life. I had to go to four doctors and a veterinarian to figure out how to bring me back down. Sorry. Oh, Jess.

I didn't know you were in the drama club and they were doing Shrek for a second time this year. Go away, Sebastian. Not before I get a photo. Delete that! Nah. Sebastian! Sebastian! Wait, Billy Jean, what's in the bag?

A bag of dirt? I'm assuming your AI leader put you up to this. Yes. I finally got my first thing to follow. Will you help me? Help you with what exactly? I have to... Put dirt in someone's locker.

And you want to... want me to help with that? Please. It's a two-person job. This big is heavy. Fine. What are best friends for if not hiding dead bodies and carrying bags of dirt?

Luckily, we've never had to hide a body yet. OK, who's locker we putting the dirt in? Who's someone that really deserves it? Becky. OK, hurry, we have to do this now. I don't want to waste any more time. OK, here's Becky's locker, but you're going to have to pick the lock.

I'll keep watch. I got it open. That was fast. I have everyone's locker combo's member eyes. Of course you did. Okay, put the dirt in. And what are you Franks doing? Becky! You come here often? Yeah, dummy, it's my locker.

Oh, is it? What are you putting in it? What's even in that bag? Billy Jean. Were you trying to put dirt in my locker? Yes, but only because Billy Jean's AI leader told her to. And as you know, there's consequences if she doesn't listen to them. So it's not personal. Maybe it's a little personal.

Not helping. Are you saying you want me to let you put dirt in my locker so you don't get a third eye in between your toes like I did? Yes? No chance. Fine that I guess we'll just be on our way. Billie Jean, quick, now! You'll pay for this! Think we're in the clear?

I think so too. Thanks for helping me with that. If it weren't for you, I'd have an eyeball in between my toes right now. My AI leader wants me to take someone's lunch money? I guess that means I could take off this costume. My leader says I have to wear no shoes the rest of the day. Bucky? That's an easy one.

Yeah, it is. I just hope the pavement isn't too hot when I walk home today. I don't want to steal someone's lunch money. I don't want to be a bully. Well, maybe you don't have to steal it. Okay, yeah. Well, I also don't want to grow a second set of teeth or have my fingers turn into lettuce.

What? We don't know what the consequences are this year. It could be lettuce fingers. No, I mean, your leader said take someone's lunch money, right? You could try and get someone to give you their lunch money and then take it. But you don't have to be sneaky about it and try and steal it. Billie Jean, you're a genius. Did you already take off your shoes?

Yeah, why? No reason. Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters.

They say you can't put a price on sleep, but we did for the low, low price of $4999. Why are you in my room? Shh, you have a big exam tomorrow. Shop back to school at IKEA. Ella, could you please give you your lunch money? What? No way.

Ethan. Hey friend, any chance you want to give me your lunch money? Are we friends? I would consider us... acquaintances. Wow, you can't even pretend we're friends in order to get my lunch money. Bye! No, wait! We're best.

I love you! Ila! Any chance you want to give me your lunch money? Why are you trying to steal my lunch money? I'm not trying to steal people's money. I'm trying to get them to give it to me out of their own free will. This seems like a weird way to steal money. I'm not stealing!

Yeah, you're not, because I'm not letting you. Operation Ask People for their lunch money officially failed. Sorry, Jess, that was a hard watch. So much for trying to be a good person. Guess I'm going to have to steal. You're not gonna tell me NOT to steal? Nope. Not today. Today you might just have to commit a felony.

Alright. Who should my victim be? Ooh, do Sebastian. He always brings enough money for two lunches. Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to steal my lunch money? No. I was stretching.

Hey everyone, Jess is a thief. She was trying to steal my money. She tried to steal mine too. Mine too. Look, I might have been trying to steal your lunch money, but I was all the money. because my leader told me to. I have to. So you were stealing.

I think to make up for this, you should give me your lunch money. Give him the money. Give him the money. He already has enough money for two lunches. Give it to me, thief. Give him the money. Fine. Here. Now hopefully that teaches you a lesson. Well, I officially embarrassed myself in front of the entire school and failed what my

AI leader told me to do, so I really hope my fingers don't turn into lettuce. Man, I wish I could have just given you my lunch money. But Eugen, you had lunch money this entire time? Well, yeah, but... And you didn't think to give it to me? For some reason I wasn't thinking about... Ah! That'll be easy and most welcome.

Jess, time to get to school. Coming! Bye, Mom! I'll pick you up after. No! I mean... It's okay. I'll just take the bus. Are you sure?

Mm-hmm. Now go to work. Okay, bye! Jess, how are you today? Hi, Miss Peppa. Are you ready to face the school day? Mm-hmm. Well, there's the bell. Might as well get to it.

Oh, you go in without me. I need to check on something. Something to take care of. Yeah, it's my science project. Science project? That's not in school? Yeah, it needed to be outside overnight to look at the moon. Wow, that's very impressive. I'd love to see it. What now? You don't want me to see it?

Oh, no. Excuse. Excuse me? I don't want you to see it. Why? Stop asking you so many questions, Miss Peppa. What? Jess!

What's going on? I can't believe it just skipped school. We skipped school? Wait, Billy Jean, did your leader tell you to skip two? I lost track of time. Did school already start? Why is your own filled with squishies? My leader told me to buy all these squishies from the store. Sweet, you have so many.

But I'm out 200 bucks. Hey! That kid just stole my squishies! Hey, did your leader tell you to steal those? Nah, I'm just doing it for the fun of it. Get back here! Billy Jean, I love you, but I wasn't meant for this type of exercise. I say we let the kid happen.

Or not? My leader just told me to steal him back. Uh-oh. What? My leader told me to destroy all the squishies. They said what? But I spent so much money on them. Think about it this way, Billy Jean.

You either lose $200 or you turn into a skeleton for who knows how long, like I'm. Wait, there's a kid. I got him. And that's why you don't mess with Billy Jean Squishy. You only got them back because my leader told me to do the chicken dance. I'm getting out of here. Yeah, walk away. I don't know.

Alright, Billy Jean, I completed my task. Are you ready to complete yours? But I spent so much money on them. I can't do it. You gotta do it. What? No. Destroy the Squishies. Look at that girl over there.

She's destroying Squishies. What a monster! I don't have a choice! a choice. You disgust me. You owe me. Well, hopefully not money because I'm out. Dance all day? Okay. That shouldn't be that bad. Nice dance moves, Jess. Becky. First of all, clearly, you're jealous of me. Second of all, my AI leader told me to do this. So what? You have to dance all day? So embarrassing. She told me to dance all day. Now get away. All right, you two. Now it's not the time to start a podcast. Get to class.

Jess, no more dancing. Oh, I can't. Stop dancing or you'll get to tension. I can't because my AI told me to. That's it. Principal's office. Now. But you didn't send Sebastian to the office

when he couldn't stop singing the other day. His singing was music to our ears. Hello, Principal. Two and five Canadians will hear the words you have cancer.

Yes, because my AI told me to, and you guys are acting like that's foreign news to you, even though we've been acting weird all week. Well, it's important for you to figure out

when you should listen to your AI and when you should listen to your teacher because you're being distracting in class. Don't you know that disobeying your AI can cause severe consequences? There is also consequences for disobeying me. To stop dancing or I just might have to suspend you. What?

Your choice, Jess. There, see, was that so hard? Not yet. What? What's wrong? A third foot! How? Because you made me stop dancing. Just go to the nurse's office!

How is that supposed to help me? I don't know, but she'll know more than me! Hello, Nurse Jackie! Oh, Jess! Hello! What brings you? Ah! You have a third foot! Yep! Which should explain why I'm here. How did this happen? I didn't follow my AI leader.

Ah, I see. So what do you think we do? We could try cutting it off. Cut it off? Or you could live with it. You really think we could cut it off? Or you could complete your next order from the leader and see if it goes away after that. Wait, that works?

Yeah, the government got sued. Now the punishments have to be temporary. Okay, so I'll just do whatever my AI tells me to do next. Then it'll go away. Thanks, Jackie! Why do none of these shoes fit my new foot? Cut off someone's appendage? Like appendix?

Isn't that basically murder? Why are you holding that? Oh, sorry. My AI leave. told me to do something. Is it to cut down a tree? No, cut off someone's appendage, which means appendix, right? Appendix is not the same as appendage.

Appendage is like a leg. That's even worse! Ah! And you have a third foot? What happened? Yep! That was my punishment for not following my AI leader yesterday! Well, you better follow it now.

Yeah, I just can't think of a way around this one that doesn't end in murder. What if you cut off an appendage of a dead body? That's not murder. Okay, but where would I get a dead body? My uncle's a mortician. He could let us use a dead body there. Ooh, great idea. So your uncle's totally fine with us cutting off one of the dead body's legs in his morgue?

Eh, probably not. He's very serious about his career. He wouldn't let us operate on a body unless we had a mortician license. Trust me, I've tried. Why? No reason. Forget it. We're just gonna have to sneak in. No, no.

This doesn't feel right. I don't want to cut off anyone's leg without their consent, even if they are dead. Wait! Why don't you just cut off your own foot? Because I don't want to cut off your own foot. Because I don't want to cut off. I don't want to bleed out? But if the theory is that your foot will go away

if you complete your leader's commands, then it'll be healed. Do you really think that would work? Are you willing to take the chance? Aunt Karen, we need some help. My friend Jess here has a third foot and she needs to cut it off, so we need numbing injections.

I gotcha. Does your aunt do this a lot? More than you think. Okay, just sit still and... There, you should be numb now. Quick, Jess, cut it off. And there's no blood. Yeah!

You're healed. When will they just end this game forever? Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters.
