Synopsis
Gumball and Darwin lose Anais' Daisy the Donkey doll and have to get it back from Tina Rex.
Plot
SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead |
Too scared to tell Anais that Tina has gotten hold of Daisy, Gumball and Darwin give Anais a cheap replacement which looks and acts nothing like Daisy - when the string of this toy is pulled, it sings in Chinese. The imposter doll explodes after a few seconds of use. Anais, after figuring out that the boys are lying due to their sweaty hands and their nervous body language, demands to know where the doll is. Gumball and Darwin reluctantly admit that Tina has the doll, to Anais' horror.
That night, Anais makes Gumball and Darwin go to Tina's house and get her toy back (with some cute eye persuasion). At the dump, which is where Tina lives, they find Daisy under Tina's arm. Anais tosses a pole that Gumball fails to catch and hits Darwin right in the face. They mess around with the sleeping Tina and get the doll back, but soon get chased by Tina as she tries to steal it back. Tina chases them into an abandoned car, and smashes the roof just as the trio escape, continuing the chase from Tina. Anais is holding Daisy and trips. Gumball told Anais to throw Daisy to him. Gumball then said that since he can't catch it, it will fly somewhere else. Gumball ends up catching Daisy, and gets cornered by Tina.
Anais succeeds in trapping Tina under a crane claw, and Tina explains that she has never had a toy before and that Daisy helped her sleep and that it gets scary at night. Anais decides to let Tina keep Daisy, as she has Gumball and Darwin to take care of her. Tina then tells the trio to start running, as her dad eats trespassers, just as her dad walks into the scene and roars.

Trivia
- In an early storyboard for this episode, Sussie was supposed to be tossing Anais doll around with Tobias, but the storyboard artists dropped her for Carrie for unknown reasons.
- Tina is shown to live in a junkyard, which may suggest that her family is homeless, or that they live there because it is the only place big enough for her and her family to live comfortably.
- Mr. Robinson's car is visible in the junkyard.
- On July 11, 2012, this episode was aired in the US with the UK opening. It's likely that this was accidental as it (along with the other episodes) is usually aired with the US opening.
- The song that the robotic Daisy sang in Chinese can be translated into: "I am Daisy the small donkey, I love to dance. I am Daisy the small donkey, I love to... [burns up]"
- In recent reruns, the title card and opening credits are cut out for unknown reasons.
Continuity
- In this episode, Anais gives her Daisy doll to Tina, but in "The Refund," she has it back, which implies that this episode may take place sometime before "The Quest", or that Anais bought another one.
Cultural References
- When Gumball tells Darwin that Tina's vision is based around movement, Tina states that that only works in the movies, referencing a (scientifically inaccurate) scene from the movie Jurassic Park.
Goofs/Errors
- When Anais was suspicious about Gumball and Darwin knowing where her Daisy the Donkey toy is, we can see that Gumball wasn't looking at her directly.
