IMDb
No more secrets. With things spiralling out of control at the tech conference, Talking Angela realises it might be time to come clean and reveal her secret. But now there's more at stake than just her heart. Does this mean the end for Tom and Ben Enterprises?

Plot
Previously, Angela blurted out to Ben that she liked Tom. Because of Ben's inability to keep secrets, he built a machine that could erase the secret from his memory. Ginger has been reading up on a creature that sucks brains, and Tom has been invited to a tech conference, and walks home to find a blinding light and a mysterious character in a robot voice.

The character turned out to be Ginger. Earlier, Ginger saw Ben carrying a vacuum cleaner and assumed he had fallen victim to the brain sucker. He explained the legend to Tom and Hank, and Tom asks where they were. He takes Ginger's protective foil hat and learns that they were at Angela's apartment. Tom calls Angela, but Angela wanted the secret covered up, so she didn't answer the call. So, Tom orders Hank to get Ben to come home.

Ben was working on the mind eraser in Angela's closet. Once the machine was finished, he got Angela to put on protective glasses and activate the machine. Ben lost all memory of the secret. Hank enters the apartment, so Angela tells him to test out her bouncy couch. He then sees a romance show on TV and stays to watch it.

One hour before the conference, Tom was worried because Hank didn't return with Ben. So, he gives Hank a call. Hank acted very strange, like he had no memory of being invited to a tech conference. Ginger then assumes that Hank had lost his brain to the brain suckers. Tom believes him, puts on a tin foil hat, and goes to the apartment themselves. Meanwhile, Ben was watching the show when he spills hot nachos on himself.

So, Angela stands up and tries to pick off the hot cheese and nachos off Ben. What they didn't know was that Tom and Ginger was spying them from the window. From his angle, it looked like Ben and Angela was dancing. At one point Tom even sees them kissing.

Heartbroken, Tom walks home in tears. He packs up his things and prepares to leave town. However, Ginger begs him to stay because of the tech conference. Tom agrees.

At the conference, however, he tells the whole town about his dishonest, girlfriend-stealing partner Ben. So, he gives away all the inventions and gives away the entire company. Meanwhile, his friends find out he was the conference. They rush onstage and drag him backstage. Ginger explains the misunderstanding, but Tom wasn't willing to take the company back. So, Angela admits that she likes Tom. She explains how she didn't want to reveal the secret because it would hurt the company. So, Angela puts on some safety glasses, rushes onstage and activates the mind eraser. Tom was willing to stay in town, and kisses Angela romantically..So, Ginger snaps a picture and puts on safety glasses, and Hank finds the mind eraser and presses the button, accidentally wiping the mind of himself and his friends, except Ginger.

Trivia

 * This is, so far, the longest episode of the entire series, at 12 minutes and 28 seconds, which also makes it the first and only episode to exceed 12 minutes.
 * This episode premiered the day before the pilot “The Audition” in 2014:
 * More specifically, the pilot aired on the 23rd of December, while this aired on the 22nd of December.
 * The design of the Mind Eraser and the protector shades might be a reference to the Neuralyser in the Men in Black films.
 * This is the only episode so far where Ginger tells the viewers to subscribe to the TTAF channel in the Youtube version of the episode. He also says “I am so glad Season 2 of Talking Tom and Friends is coming soon!” meaning he's confirming Season 2.
 * Unlike the Youtube versions of all other season finales, instead of a sneak peek of the first episode of the next season, this one has a brief montage of clips from Season 1 in the top right corner after Ginger tells the viewers to subscribe. Season 2 may not have had any complete clips ready for public viewing at the time.
 * At one point, Tom says, "And I'm all out of bubblegum." This is likely a reference to the iconic quote from the 1988 movie They Live.
