Plot
After escaping from Anti-Pops' armada thanks to the sacrifice of Colonel Rawls and Chance Sureshot, Benson tells his team to believe that both Rawls and Sureshot will be fine somewhere safe, and reminds them to continue their mission to bring Pops to safety for his preparation against Anti-Pops.
Shortly, Eileen detects a certain damage on the park dome, and turns out to be none other than Skips' bed, which had been accidentally hit by Sureshot's "missed shot" during their escape. When it comes to remind about Skips' destroyed bed, the guys need to rest before continuing their mission and search new beds for several reasons other than Skips', such as Pops' bed is now a computer, while Eileen never had a bed in the park since she never worked in the place. To find a quickest route to the nearest bed store, Benson orders Eileen to navigate it, which is at UMĆK space store.
While the guys finally arrived at UMĆK, Benson orders Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost to guard the park dome from the arrival of one of Anti-Pops' assassins. Unaware to the guys, Anti-Pops' female bounty hunter is already on the trail for Pops to capture him without being spotted. Once the guys finally found their choices for newer beds, the are to check out their new beds is further than where they entered, according to an employee working in the same bed area. Luckily, UMĆK has a diner on commercializing their latest food, the meatball sub, in which the tagline read. "IIIIIT'S MEAT?" when they first entered, in which ingredients of the meatball is made of a living one, something Eileen could not eat anymore. While trailing Pops, the bounty hunter's cover is blown by an annoying lost guy who lost his girlfriend, whom the bounty hunter freezes, leaving the guys escaping from the bounty hunter
However, they are rescued by the owner of UMĆK and one the space operatives, a sentient armoire named Glƶmb, who then revealed to the guys of Pops' true lineage as the universe's Chosen One to defeat Anti-Pops, but Pops needs to train himself to unleash his true potential besides telekinesis. The guys thanked Glƶmb for helping them escape to the quickest passage way he provide for them from the bounty hunter.
Before escaping, Benson reminds his team not to forget bringing their new beds with them. As the bounty hunter managed to catch up with the guys, the bounty hunter attempt to freeze them and takes Pops away to Anti-Pops, but was interrupted by the UMĆK employees because the bounty hunter froze one of the employees from the diner while trailing Pops before his cover was blown by the lost guy she froze. Thought there is no escape from the bounty hunter, due to having her freeze ray, Pops, though unable to use his Chosen One's telekinetic powers, decides to help his friends fight the bounty hunter. As Skips and Rigby manage to trap the bounty hunter inside a chair with a wooden butt, knocking her unconscious, with Eileen uses the bounty hunter's freeze ray to prevent her from escaping, the guys manage to escape from the bounty hunter. However, Benson fears there might be more bounty hunters Anti-Pops hired, and tells his team to be cautious of the upcoming danger that may come upon them soon.
While guarding the park dome at UMĆK, Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost were hungry, and they found a single burrito and fight for that food. Luckily, High-Five Ghost found a second burrito hidden within another. When Pops ask if one of his teammates knows how to activate the packed beds, none of them knows and never been being given a manual to activate it due to a situation the bounty hunter made them through.
