Ep 9. Maggotron / Love Hurts

After a long and hard race, the snail racing team, Turbo FAST, arrives back at their garage. They find Skidmark, one of the team members, attempting to fix his car. Skidmark explains that when he was attacked by Maggotron, a giant maggot, during the race, his car was damaged. White Shadow, the leader of the team, notices that Skidmark is acting odd and discovers that he has a crush on Maggotron.

The team decides to help Skidmark by finding a way to impress Maggotron so that he can ask her out. They discover that Maggotron is attracted to shiny things and decide to use this to their advantage. They build Skidmark a shiny car, hoping that it will impress Maggotron.

Meanwhile, Turbo, another member of the team, is dealing with heartbreak. He has fallen in love with a snail named Tanya, who is in love with another snail. Turbo is determined to win Tanya's heart and seeks the help of the team to do so. He tries various methods to impress Tanya, but none of them seem to work.

As Skidmark prepares to ask Maggotron out on a date, the team discovers that Maggotron is not interested in snails. They realize that Skidmark's crush is one-sided and that they need to tell him the truth. However, they are worried that he will be heartbroken and decide to delay telling him.

In the meantime, Turbo continues to try and win Tanya's heart. He turns to his friends for advice, and they suggest that he write a love letter. Turbo writes a heartfelt letter and delivers it to Tanya. He waits anxiously for her response but does not receive one.

The team decides to confront Skidmark and tell him the truth about Maggotron. They plan to do so at a party they are throwing in his honor. However, before they can do so, Maggotron arrives at the party. She reveals to Skidmark that she is not interested in him but in his car.

Skidmark is heartbroken, but the team steps in to support him. They remind him that he is a valuable member of the team regardless of his love life. Turbo, who has been dealing with his own heartbreak, is inspired by his friends' support and decides to move on from Tanya.

The episode ends with the Turbo FAST team coming together to celebrate Skidmark and his love for his car. They all come to realize that love can hurt, but true friendship is what really matters in the end.
