Marlene gets a new roommate named Rhonda, a walrus who is sloppy and has bad manners. Before her roommate arrives, she dances with Skipper and is very excited, but Skipper is paranoid that Marlene's roommate may be a spy, possibly with the intent of stealing Kowalski's newest invention, a device whose function is not yet known.

The zoo animals order Chinese food. All of the penguins read their fortune cookies and are happy with the results. However, Rico's fortune reads "You will meet a foul end". While Rico and the penguins do not believe in curses, Julien tries to make them believe by tricking Rico into believing that he is cursed (makes an elephant land on Rico, sends a popcorn cart in his direction) to the point where Rico hides in a pillow fort.
