Synopsis[]
The gang make a quick stop on a planet that brings their greatest fears to life.
Plot[]
Skips, Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, and Benson are driving in the van when they discover that they are low on fuel. The computer tells them of a nearby planet, a planet that "makes your innermost fears come to life". The guys decide to stop there (as they don't really have much of a choice) and they land on Fear Planet. Benson decides to get the gas and walks over to the pump, not believing in his fears being able to come to life. Just then his only fear, sharks, appear and they bite his arms off. As Benson fills up the gas can, another shark appears and it eats him before he can get the gas back to the van.
Skips then volunteers to get the gas can back to the van, and he tries to keep his mind clear so that none of his fears will appear. Skips is doing great until he is almost at the gas pump, when Rigby asks what he is afraid of. Just then, flying disk freestylers (Skips's greatest fears) appear and repeatedly hit him with their frisbees, killing him.
Pops then reveals he is afraid of the dark and the sun starts to go down. Rigby manages to get the sun back up by telling Pops to go through the alphabet and name cookies. Mordecai goes out and closes his eyes and asks Rigby to guide him to the gas can. Right after Mordecai picks up the can, Rigby thinks of his fear, Amusement Park Mascots. Mordecai opens his eyes and sees one standing right in front of him. He then runs to the van as the fears of Benson and Skips also appear due to Rigby now being afraid of them. As Mordecai gets into the car, he realizes a flying disk free styler has the key resulting in Pops, Rigby, and him staying stuck on the planet.
