Shimmer and Shine season 4 episode 1, titled "Volcano Drain-o/Cleanie Genies," follows everyone's favorite twin genies-in-training as they set out on two magical adventures. In the first half of the episode, "Volcano Drain-o," Shimmer and Shine are tasked with helping their friend Leah clean up a messy situation after a volcano erupts in Zahramay Falls.
The volcano's eruption has caused a lava flow that has blocked the drain of the town's canal system, causing the water to overflow and flood the town. To make matters worse, the town's Clumsy Genie accidentally drops her cleaning supplies into the canal while trying to help, tainting the water and making it dirty. With no other options available, Leah uses her magic carpet to take Shimmer and Shine to the source of the volcano to see if they can do anything to help.
When they arrive at the volcano, they meet a group of fire sprites who inform them that the volcano is blocked by a large rock and that they cannot turn off the lava flow until it is removed. Shimmer and Shine use their magic to shrink themselves down to the size of the rock and try to move it, but they soon realize it's too heavy for them to lift. To make matters worse, the rock begins to shake, and they realize that an even bigger rock is about to fall on top of them!
Luckily, their quick thinking leads them to use their magic to create a barrier that protects them from the falling rock. They then come up with a plan to have the fire sprites heat the rock until it becomes small enough for them to move it. Using teamwork and their quick wit, Shimmer and Shine successfully remove the blockage, allowing the lava flow to stop and the water to drain properly.
In the second half of the episode, "Cleanie Genies," Shimmer and Shine need to help their friend's pet monkey, Tala, who has smeared mud all over Zeta's lair. Zeta is not pleased and demands that the genies clean her place up before she gets back.
Shimmer and Shine try to use their magic to clean the lair, but no matter what they do, they can't seem to get rid of the mud stains. They then remember that Tala had played with a group of Cleanie Genies earlier that day and decide to seek their help.
The Cleanie Genies, who specialize in cleaning, tell Shimmer and Shine that they need to use a special cleaning tool to get the mud out. However, the tool is broken, and they don't have any extra ones. Shimmer and Shine use their magic to create a new cleaning tool, but it's too big to fit inside Zeta's lair.
To get around this problem, the Cleanie Genies shrink themselves down to the size of the cleaning tool and enter the lair to work their magic. They successfully clean up the mud, but then Zeta returns earlier than expected, causing the Cleanie Genies to panic.
Shimmer and Shine come up with a plan to distract Zeta while the Cleanie Genies hide, and they successfully manage to pull it off. When Zeta leaves, the Cleanie Genies emerge from their hiding place, and everyone is impressed with their hard work.
"Volcano Drain-o/Cleanie Genies" is an exciting and entertaining episode of Shimmer and Shine that showcases the power of teamwork and creative problem-solving. With their magical abilities and quick thinking, Shimmer and Shine are the perfect duo to take on any challenge, no matter how big or small.
