SCENE 3 Gordon brings Stinky to Oscar's trash can, and before Stinky reveals his surprise, he explains that a while ago, he grew a very smelly flower (as seen in a flashback), which was a major disappointment for him. But then he realized that maybe this smell of his could have some use for grouches, and he ended up authorizing the use of his smell for a new grouch bubble bath, "Bubble Blecch." Oscar and Irvine love the smell of it, and Irvine wants to be bathed in it, so Oscar gives his okay this time.

Irvine enjoys getting scrubbed by Gordon and playing with her Rubber Yucky. Oscar gets splattered with stinky foam and remarks, "Maybe taking a bath isn't so bad after all."
