Plot[]
At school, Bailey laments that she often feels left out while Hamster and Gretel carry out superhero work, only for Gretel to notice that the other students have engaged in the latest trend of wearing "Party Animal Headphones." Not wishing to continually be made fun of by other students and wishing to attend a party, Gretel and Bailey make plans to acquire the headphones at the mall. When the headphones quickly sell out, however, Hamster reveals that he managed to purchase a pair for himself and Gretel, leaving Bailey left out once again.
When Gretel and Bailey attend the party–with Bailey wearing a decoy pair of headphones–the deejay, a disguised Earworm, plays a hypnotic song and instructs everyone to destroy the Taco Cucnhies factory as revenge for his contract being terminated due to his actions. Bailey, the only one unaffected due to the decoy headphones being incompatible with the sound system, rushes off to inform Kevin, who is attempting to wash his dirty clothes per Carolina's request. Repulsed by the putrid smell of Kevin's socks, Bailey resolves to use them to break the partygoers out of their hypnotic state. When Kevin eventually gets hypnotized as well, Bailey launches her sole remaining sock into the conveyor belt, dispersing the sock's scent across the entire factory. This then allows Hamster and Gretel to defeat The Earworm, after which Bailey realizes the importance of being herself.
