A Rose by Any Other Name / Queen Bee Simon experiments with playing positive and negative words to plants to see how it affects how they grow and thrive: the plant that hears positive words through the headphones grows happy and healthy; the plant that hears negative words through the headphones grows mean and aggressive. Once big enough, the monster plant goes berserk and begins devouring other plants in its path. Realizing that he has literally created a monster, Simon tries to capture the rogue plant, and switch out its headphones so it can listen to more positive words of encouragement in order to stop the madness. Brittany is afraid of bees after a past experience resulted in her getting stung. Upon seeing a colony of honey bees has constructed a new hive in their tree, she calls an exterminator, who is unable to remove the hive until the following day. After a mishap with Simon's shrink ray, one of the worker bees brings Brittany back to the hive, where honey is used to treat a wound that she received to her knee, as well as to calm her nerves. The queen bee decides to have Brittany spend the whole day within the colony in order to see all that honey bees do and how beneficial they really are for everyone; after gaining a new appreciation for the bees, the queen bee anoints Brittany their new royal protector, and intrusts her to keep them safe. The next morning, as the hive is being smoked by the exterminator, Brittany must reverse Simon's shrink ray in order to enlarge her back to her normal size so that she can stop the exterminator from destroying the hive, and instead, relocate it to another tree.
