Ep 9. The Jokers

In Cry Babies Magic Tears season 1 episode 9, titled "The Jokers", viewers experience the mischievous ways of the titular characters. The episode begins with the Cry Babies Magic Tears all gathered together, playing a game of hide-and-seek. Each character is excited to showcase their hiding skills. Baby Luna finds a great spot behind a tree, while Coney hides under a pile of toys. Pandy thinks he's found the perfect location under a blanket, but as soon as he settles in, he hears a strange noise.

Suddenly, the Jokers emerge from the shadows! They're a group of four cheeky characters whose only goal is to prank the Cry Babies Magic Tears. The Jokers are led by their fearless leader, a stuffed puppy with shaggy brown fur named Scratch. Scratch and his accomplices, a mischievous green frog named Jumpy, a chubby blue cat named Giggle, and a squeaky-voiced pink mouse named Squeak, are always up for a good laugh.

Upon realizing that the Jokers have arrived, the Cry Babies Magic Tears prepare themselves for the ultimate prank battle. Baby Dotty creates a decoy by wrapping a pink blanket around a stuffed penguin and placing it in plain sight. Scratch spots the penguin and thinks he's won the game. However, as soon as he picks it up, he's drenched in a bucket of water that the Cry Babies Magic Tears had set up earlier.

The Jokers retaliate, but their first few attempts are unsuccessful. They attempt to play a prank on Baby Coney by pretending to be a pile of stuffed animals, but she catches on quickly and locks them inside a toy box. The Jokers then try to scare Baby Moon by draping a white sheet over themselves and shouting "Boo!" as they jump out from behind a tree. However, they don't realize that Baby Luna is an expert in illusions and sees right through their trick. She turns the tables by making the white sheet disappear in thin air, leaving the Jokers baffled.

As the prank battle continues, Scratch and the others become more and more desperate to come up with a successful prank. They decide to enlist the help of a passersby, a soft blue bunny named Bounce. They convince Bounce to pretend to be a lost toy and claim that he needs to be returned to his home in the forest. The Cry Babies Magic Tears fall for the trick, and Bounce leads them on a wild goose chase through the woods. However, when they reach the supposed destination, they find nothing but a bush and realize they've been duped once again.

The Jokers finally come up with their grand finale prank, and it's a doozy. They construct a makeshift carnival game and invite each of the Cry Babies Magic Tears to play. The game involves throwing a ball at a stack of cans to knock them over. However, the cans are rigged to fall forward instead of backward, ensuring that the game can't be won. After a few rounds, the Cry Babies Magic Tears begin to suspect something is up. They come up with a plan to skirt the rules and win the game by knocking over the cans when Scratch isn't looking.

With their mission to prank the Cry Babies Magic Tears completed, the Jokers bid their new friends farewell and head back into the forest. The Cry Babies Magic Tears are left exhausted but proud of their prank war victory. The sun begins to set, and the Cry Babies Magic Tears head back to their homes, eager to share stories of their adventures with their families. And with the Jokers gone, the woods become quiet once again, with only the chirping of crickets to be heard.
