The Good Germ

"Boy, being better than everybody else sure feels good."

- Jeremy

The Good Germ is the 3rd episode of Season 4 of Talking Tom and Friends

Synopsis
Jeremy the Germ is a painfully gross roommate so Talking Tom and Friends try to help him control his worst impulses. Success? Not likely.

Plot
The episode begins with the gang all partying and Tom explaining why to Angela. Ben tells them to be quieter because he's trying to wallow. Hank tells him it could be worse and describes Ben for him to say that he is talking about Ben. He accidentally leans on a laptop and gets shocked.

Ben goes back inside, whilst Jeremy comes outside. Jeremy goes onto the bounce house with Tom trying to stop him. Ben tapes the bounce house off and Ginger gets slime on him. Jeremy torments the gang which leads Tom to call him a fun-time-ruining jerk. Jeremy says they can't make him change and Angela said that it would be a waste of time and they go off to get ice-cream, now ignoring Jeremy. Jeremy starts to sing about how sad he is when he realises he can change.

The gang come back to see a clean garage and for Jeremy to tell them he's changed. They go outside and have a redo of the party. Ben admires the jelly beans' organization but Hank eats them all. Tom throws some jelly beans in Hank's face and they all have a "jelly bean war".

Jeremy ties them up to the bounce house for making a mess and starts to eat the trash when the vacuum doesn't work. He starts growing as he eats and sings about how nobody let him change.

They all struggle to escape the bounce house but all they do is make it move, Angela realises that maybe that's all they need to do. The control the bounce house by jumping and wiggling and run to Jeremy, starting a fight. Jeremy knocks them over when Ben shocks himself, causing a distraction. He makes the bounce house do a flip for Ben to grab a soap bar and throw it into his mouth, causing him to throw up all the "trash" and revert to his normal size. Ben notices how he indirectly used tech to save the gang and the bracelet shocks him.

Jeremy wakes up and asks the gang what happened for the gang to explain. Hank tells him that he can live in the Storage Unit instead of the bathroom and Jeremy sings about how he is clean now. Jeremy abruptly stops his singing and then lies down on a pillow and goes to sleep.
