Popcorn Panic airs with Gone in a Flash.
Plot
The episode begins with Skipper looking at the popcorn stand through his binoculars. They begin Operation: Popcorn. Private plays "decoy duty" and begins to waddle, making a kid with popcorn walk over. Kowalski and Rico are swimming underwater. As the kid leans over, Kowalski bites the bottom of the bag open, while Rico grabs the popcorn in his mouth. The kid realises that his popcorn and begins looking in bag. Kowalski and Rico swim back and Rico spits out the popcorn into the hat that Private was wearing during his waddle act. Then it shows King Julien dancing and those watching him throwing popcorn at him. King Julien tells Maurice that "[his] booty is barely even shaking." He tells him to put both eyes on him—even his lazy eye. Maurice protests and says that he does not have a lazy eye, but Julien cuts him off saying, "It's okay. I have one too."
