Doyle's New Friend is the sixth episode of the first season of the animated television series Galaxy High School. The episode follows the adventures of two high school students, Aimee Brightower and Doyle Cleverlobe, as they navigate life at an intergalactic school where students come from all corners of the galaxy.
In this episode, Aimee and Doyle meet a new student named Krikor. Krikor is from a planet called Zorm, where the inhabitants are blue and have the ability to shape-shift. As the trio gets to know each other, Doyle becomes increasingly suspicious of Krikor's motives. He notices that Krikor is always asking questions about the other students and seems to be more interested in gathering information than making friends.
Despite Doyle's reservations, Aimee is thrilled to have a new friend and invites Krikor to join them in their extracurricular activities. They go on a field trip to a nearby planet and Krikor proves to be a valuable asset, using his shape-shifting abilities to rescue a fellow student who gets trapped in a cave.
However, when they return to Galaxy High, Doyle's suspicions are confirmed. He overhears Krikor talking to an unknown person about a plan to steal information about the school's security system. Doyle immediately alerts Aimee and they decide to confront Krikor.
Krikor reveals that he has been sent to Galaxy High by his planet's government to gather information about the school's defenses. The blue inhabitants of Zorm are at war with a neighboring planet and they believe that Galaxy High could be a strategic target. Krikor tries to explain that he didn't want to deceive his new friends, but he had no choice but to follow his orders.
Doyle and Aimee are disappointed by Krikor's betrayal but they realize that he was just following orders and didn't mean to hurt them personally. They come up with a plan to fool Krikor's superiors by faking a security breach at the school. Krikor is able to gather the information he needs, but it turns out to be fake and he is able to return to Zorm without any harm to his new friends.
The episode ends with Aimee and Doyle reflecting on the situation. They realize that even though Krikor was an enemy, they were able to turn him into a friend by showing him kindness and understanding. They vow to always be true to their own values and to never let others compromise their integrity.
Overall, Doyle's New Friend is a heartwarming tale about the value of friendship and the importance of standing up for what is right. The episode teaches kids about the dangers of blindly following authority and the importance of critical thinking. It also highlights the importance of empathy and compassion, showing that even enemies can become friends if we are willing to try.
