Synopsis[]
When Maggie wants to bring home a pet germ, her dad won't let her, so she sneaks it home but faces a problem with training especially when Maggie's parents find out.
Plot[]
The episode starts out with the Pesky family on a tour. They look at a big fat man that eats flies, named Mr. Sizzlemore. This shocks Maggie, and her family. Then Maggie spots some germs, and she begs to have one. But her dad says, "Maggie, we aren't the kind of flies that carry flies. We raised you better than that."
Then they get back home and Maggie rushes to her room. Then she pulls out a germ that she secretly grabbed. It runs around her room. Maggie tries to give it a bath and it runs away from her. Then it eats her bed. It is not trained at all. Her mom comes in and questions her about her bed being gone. Then Maggie begins to try to train it but ends up getting hurt and breaking things. Then she realizes that petting it will make it behave.
She then plays fetch with it and takes it for walks. Maggie goes to the pet store to get it some stuff and the germ escapes into the house. Later, Maggie returns to her carton, but she is shocked that Germy has gone out the door, and Mr. Pesky screams at Maggie, who facepalms. They get mad because Stickyfeet doesn't allow germs, and Maggie lies and gets Pupert grounded, who goes to bed with no "supper" runs off crying to her room. Then Germy escapes out the window. Mrs. Pesky calls someone and tells them that a germ is loose. The SWAT Team gets called out to capture it.
They announce it to the town, and everyone starts screaming. Germy tries to escape the spotlights. They capture him and Maggie has to take him back. She makes it all dramatic when she sets him free. Then he runs off with his friends, while going into the human's mouth, causing him to get sick and fall of his hammock. Maggie then reveals that the germs serves the human sickness, ending the episode.
