It's Talking Hanks birthday again. But instead of his usual bossing people around, he is sick. And who is the guy who is the best at not making people sick? Jeremy, of course.

Plot
Tom and his friends were eating a cake when Ginger enters, excited to go to the carnival. Just then, they realize that the cake they were eating was Hank's birthday cake. Remembering a previous birthday where they were forced to make a fan episode of Bongo & McGillicuddy, they believe their trip to the carnival to be cancelled.

However, Hank enters sick and unwell. Seeing this as an opportunity, Tom sits Hank down before going to the carnival. Meanwhile Jeremy feels insulted that Hank was hanging around with another germ besides him. Nevertheless, he makes Hank a bowl of soup and tells him to watch TV. However, he sneezes soup onto the remote. This sent an electric shock into the TV, and Bongo and McGillicuddy stepped out.

They decide that it was unfair that Tom ditched Hank, so they decide to throw him a party. Hank launches out more of his favorite TV characters into the real world. However, he nearly lets Kaptain Kriminal into the real world. Anyway, they party, and Hank makes a toast to the germ that got him sick, shocking Jeremy.

Just then, the remote falls off the stool, causing a shock to be sent to the TV, letting Kaptain Kriminal escape. He and his minions break the remote then bullies the characters. So, realizing they needed more of Jeremy's soup to make a new remote, they find Jeremy, who was offended that Hank liked a different germ.

Hank finds him in the storage room and apologizes for letting in another germ. So, Jeremy gladly makes a new bowl of soup, then used the remotes to zap the minions back into the TV. They cheer, but Hank starts feeling dizzy and passes out.

Meanwhile, Tom and his friends feel guilty about ditching Hank on his birthday. So, they try to win him a prize from the carnival games, only to find all of them were rigged. So, Ginger steals a balloon from the balloon dart game, which was made of metal. The carnival staff begs him to hand it over, offering a prize. Ginger was about to decline, but Tom gladly accepts.

Hank wakes up from his coma; it was all a dream and he never met Bongo & McGillicuddy. However, Tom gladly gives him a Bongo & McGillicuddy figurine from the carnival as his birthday present.

Trivia

 * "Hank the Director" is both referenced and clips from the episode had been used as the gang eat cake, Jeremy says to not question cake, Ben and Ginger explain that Hank likes the show and bosses the gang around which is unlike Hank and Jeremy turns on TV to the episode where Hank learned his lesson to stop being making his friends act.
 * "Bye, Bye, Bongo!" is also referenced as Bongo and McGillicuddy enter the real world, like how Hank visited their world and it turns out that the cartoon characters coming to life was just a dream.
 * The title, Talking Tom and Friends, is also referenced as Bongo says "Let's show this pathetic punk that this show is for protagonists".
 * "Lost Friend Will Zee" also has a callback when Hank explains how there are extras remotes in the couch.
 * This episode was mistakenly made public a day before it's release but was quickly privated.
 * Compared to Bye, Bye, Bongo!, Bongo and McGillicuddy are drawn differently in style, possibly due to a consequence of the fact that Season 4 has People Moving Pixels producing the animation.
 * In the episode, Jeremy turns the TV on, playing a scene from the Bongo and McGillicuddy episode in Hank the Director, the same episode where Hank learns that bossing his friends around was a mistake but it is instead drawn differently instead of the footage we first see in the episode.
 * This episode was orginally called "Hank's TV All Stars" and was going to be the 13th episode of Season 4.
