IMDb
Talking Tom has a terrible toothache, but he won't get it fixed because he's terrified of going to the dentist. He lets Talking Hank hypnotize him into not being scared any more - and it works. In fact, it works too well. Now Tom isn't scared of anything, which leads him to make some pretty reckless decisions. Will the gang be able to save Tom from himself before he ends up getting hurt?

Plot
Tom was too afraid to go to a dentist appointment to get his cavity filled, so Hank hypnotizes him to make him brave. He went through the appointment with no problem.

However, this made Tom seek dangerous thrills, like riding on the roof of a bus and skateboarding on the garage roof. At one point, he was about to skateboard blindfolded down a slide so scary it's considered to be only for show. Desperate, Hank tries hypnotizing Tom to make him wimpy again, but it doesn't work and he slides down anyway.

Tom woke up in a hospital, with his friends mourning over him beside his bed, pretending that Tom had died. He regrets being so brave, and his friends reveal it was a prank to make sure Tom learns his lesson.

Censorship
In some countries, this episode, along with Lost Friend Will Zee, were banned due to the serious injuries that Tom made, and to prevent kids from immitating it.

In the US, this episode isnt available on the Talking Tom app, but it is available on digital, DVD and on YouTube.

The scene that shows Tom crashing was cut in the final animated version due to pain references. However this scene is avaiable on DVD and digital streaming, but isnt available on TV.
