"Paging Doctor Potatini" is the first segment of the fourteenth episode of the second season of Hamster & Gretel, and the eighty-fourth episode overall. It is paired with "Snazzy Pantzz" and premiered on Disney Channel on January 26, 2025.[2]
After disguising himself as a doctor, Kevin is mistaken for the prodigious teen doctor Dr. Potatini, but has to go along with it and stall for time when he has to remove a splinter from Ernie, the villainous baker.
Plot[]
Having escaped from prison, Ernie the baker attempts to execute his plan to cover the entire town in cake batter, only to admit himself to the hospital after getting a splinter in his "button-pushing finger." Meanwhile, a starving Kevin must wait for Carolina to finish her shift in order to visit a pasta restaurant with her. Seeing a platter of food being taken into an area restricted to doctors only, Kevin disguises himself as a doctor in order to access it. However, another doctor mistakes him for the teenage doctor, Dr. Potanini, and assigns him to remove Ernie's splinter while Dr. Fry attempts to expose "Potanini" as a fraud.
After failing to get in contact with Gretel, who is watching a movie with Dave and has silenced her phone, Kevin orders the nurse to give Ernie various exams in order to stall him. Eventually, an oblivious Carolina removes Ernie's splinter and after reclaiming his belongings–including the remote he will use to activate his device–prepares to execute his plan. Kevin then steals Ernie's remote, leading the baker to chase the teenager throughout the hospital. Having cornered Kevin, Ernie proceeds to shoot Kevin with a portable version of his device, inadvertently satisfying his hunger. Ernie is subsequently defeated when Fry barges in to tell "Potanini" that he has discovered that he is indeed a teenager.
