Ep 13. Betty's Secret Admirer / Slime of the Century

Betty's Secret Admirer / Slime of the Century is the thirteenth season 1 episode of the animated television series Atomic Betty. The episode cycles between two main plots: Betty's Secret Admirer, and Slime of the Century.

In Betty's Secret Admirer, Betty receives anonymous love letters and gifts from a secret admirer, leaving her both flustered and curious. Meanwhile, Admiral DeGill attempts to capture a monster that is terrorizing a planet. As it turns out, the monster is Betty's secret admirer, a slimy creature called a Mudog who has become enamored with her after a chance encounter on another planet. After realizing that the Mudog is harmless and just wants to be near her, Betty convinces DeGill to release it back into the wild rather than destroying it.

In Slime of the Century, Betty and her crew receive a distress signal from the ooze-infested planet of Zulia. Upon arriving on the planet, they discover that a group of Slimeoids have taken over and enslaved the Zulians, using them to harvest a rare and valuable mineral. The Slimeoids, led by the tyrannical Queen Vorkana, manage to capture Betty and her crew, but they quickly mount a daring escape and defeat the Slimeoids, freeing the Zulians and stopping the mining operation.

Throughout both plots, Betty must balance her romantic curiosity with her duties as a galactic guardian, using her wit and courage to overcome a variety of challenges and threats. The episode showcases Betty's resourcefulness and determination, as well as her commitment to helping others and doing what's right, even when faced with difficult choices.
