Episode Title:
Friend-in-a-Box.
Episode Description:
As Julien rummages through the zoo's lost and found box, he tosses aside a small Game Boy-type video game device which Mort begins playing with, soon believing the game's character to be his friend. Meanwhile, Kowalski unveils a thought-reading device to the other penguins, but it soon catches fire due to its "cheap circuit board". As Mort continues his focus on his new game, Julien becomes disappointed that Mort is no longer obsessing over his feet and giving him the thrill of kicking him off. After failing to get Mort interested in his feet again, Julien teams with Kowalski, who wants to use the game's circuit board for his invention, to separate Mort from the game. The plan works, but the other penguins' disappointment in Kowalski's selfishness prompts him to want to return the circuit board, though it, too, soon malfunctions. The penguins and Julien then procure a new device from a toy store, only to find that Maurice had given Mort a cell phone to pacify him in the interim, which he now finds enjoyment in.
