Synopsis
Avid collector Remy struggles to cope after Cricket finds the rarest of all trading cards.
Plot
Cricket comes to visit Remy where they reminisce over a photo of themselves fishing. Cricket finds a binder labeled Galaxu and Remy reveals that he is an avid collector of Galaxu cards, a franchise centered around intergalactic monsters that you train and collect. Remy reveals a secret room underneath his bedroom that contains more Galaxu related memorabilia and products. Among them is an empty glass case that according to Remy is reserved for Starmadillo, the rarest of all the cards and the one that he has been desperately trying to find. The boys decide to take Vasquez to the card shop to see if they can find it.
At the card store, Remy entices Cricket to buy a starter pack while he buys an entire box's worth of cards. Remy fails to find the card, but is shocked that Cricket managed to find Starmadillo. Right away, Cricket shows no care towards maintaining the card's freshness as Remy quickly develops jealousy over Cricket having found it. Remy tries to convince Cricket to keep it safe, but he pays no mind and proceeds to abuse it. Remy tries to concoct a way to get the card away from Cricket, leading to him asking Gloria to make a fake card. However, Cricket sees through the fake and realizes that Remy was trying to steal the card from him.
Cricket ejects Remy from his house, forcing Remy to call upon Vasquez. Cricket in turn calls upon Gramma Alice and the two adults fight each other throughout the house. Remy declares that he deserves the card more than him because he has been a fan longer. He suddenly remembers the fishing trip and how something similar happened with Cricket who was actually happy for Remy. Remy urges the adults to stop fighting and admits that he has been childish for not letting Cricket keep the card. Cricket forgives him, but after stepping on the card, admits that he should keep it safe. Gloria then paints a photo about the aftermath.
