Plot[]

The episode begins at the cafeteria. Students are lining up to receive their latest lunch from Baron Draxum. April arrives to give a letter for Baron Draxum to read. When he reads it, he has been awarded by the Superintendent of Cafeterias Vivian Slopworth. He was quite impressed that she’s coming to visit but April said that he might blow his cover when she sees the messy dirty kitchen. Draxum asked why, because there are a few Silverfish working here and most of the ingredients are all mystic.

April tells him they need to get rid of all the mystical evidence before the superintendent sees. She tries to call Mikey for help but he says he's "saving the world". She accuses him of go-karting and he denies, then hangs up. The girl then told Draxum that they have to clean up before Draxum said that Slopworth is already outside the cafeteria. April told him to stall her while she convinced the Silverfish to make the kitchen spotless and get rid of all the mystic stuff.

Draxum welcomes the superintendent in the cafeteria while April and the Silverfish clean up the kitchen. During this, one of the tentacles released an oozequito. Once she got rid of them, Draxum introduced Slopworth to April until they saw the oozequito on Slopworth’s soldier. They tried to stall her while they tried to get rid of the bug and placed it in a pot where it injected itself on a slope of meat. Draxum lead Slopworth outside while a newly formed meat goblin escaped the pot. April started to chase after it and tried to restrain it until Mikey arrived and the goblin was thrown in a locker.

Draxum arrives and April and Mikey demand why he has an oozequito in the kitchen. The yokai explained that he was going to turn Dale into a cantaloupe mutant while April angrily scolds him that there is a mutant in the locker. The goblin escaped and Draxum tried to use his powers to stop him but April and Mikey stopped him from using his mystic powers. April told Draxum to keep the superintendent busy while she and Mikey chased after Sloppy Joseph.

While they chased him, April saw that he was devouring all the food like the gum, donuts and coffee. April realized that when he eats, he grows. The goblin started to grow bigger, fatter and nastier until it started to make his way to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, Slopworth presents Draxum a statue of himself made of fishstick. Then she announced Draxum as the best lunch person in the cafeteria. As soon as he was about to say a few words, Sloppy Joseph burst into the room and devoured the fishstick statue. Mikey and April arrive and remind Draxum not to use his powers in public. Draxum gives in and then demands the creature to leave. However, the creature devours all of the people, including Mikey, April and Draxum gets knocked out as he impales the creature with his vines. Thinking how to defeat the creature, Draxum starts to attack the monster and releases everyone out of the monster’s belly and back into its tiny form.

Slopworth angrily announce Draxum and revokes his award. Some of the lunch people and janitor remind him that things will be okay and said that he is one of them now.

After the cafeteria was cleaned up, Draxum started to get back to work. April and Mikey were proud of him and promised him not to use his powers which Draxum promised.
