There, Muscle Man asks everyone questions and Skips becomes frustrated. They head back to the Park until Muscle Man notices a stress tester. He goes on it and shows that his stress is moderate. Everyone wants Skips to go on it, so he does. His reading then says critical and the doctor comes over. The doctor tells him his tress readings are 'off the chart' and looks at his arm, revealing the dark line of stress. The doctor tells him he will die of he doesn't lower his stress. Later, at the Park, Benson tries to get Skips to take the day off but Skips tells him he has too much to do. Benson tells him to once more and Skips agrees and sleeps. He then dreams himself getting put under too much stress in a circus and wakes up.

Later, everyone is at the house getting jobs and Skips is wearing a blue jumper over himself. Skips then says he'll be fine and will be able to work. Benson gives him his job and he falls down the stairs and knocks himself out. He wakes up, with lots of black lines on his chest which are leading to his heart. Pops tells him he needs to visit an ancient bell that will get rid of his stress when he rings it. They leave to the Himalayas without Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost and soon arrive at the mountains. They walk up to the bell where there are several dead bodies. Skips tells the guys to cover their ears as long as he rings the bell and he begins pushing on the wood, making it ring. His stress leaves his body and turns into a dark monster. Rigby notices that Skips forgot his ninja sword and runs to grab it. He uncovers his ears and another dark creature comes out of his head.

Everyone uncovers their ears too and the stress goes into the monster that was already made. Skips gets the sword and attacks it. Mordecai, Rigby, Benson and Pops help Skips battle it with the dead people's weapons. They begin slicing off their heads and all that is left is the large head. Skips battles it and spears it through the mouth, killing it. They all head off but find that the car's tires have been speared. Skips wants to fix it but the guys do it for him. Skips then ends the episode by smiling.
