Maddy is sick of working at #1 Curry, so Gauss
offers her a job with Grave. She accepts with stars in her eyes. Mr. Match and Count Zap are furious at her leaving, but Yahoot says she'll always have a place at the curry shop.Meanwhile, Commander Beef and the net agents need Lan to get them into a party Gauss is hosting, through Lan's connections with Yai. They suspect a Grave secret meeting is being held there, and plan to go in under cover.
When they arrive, they find out it was a setup to lure them into a trap. Gauss traps them in a room and starts to fill it with water. This makes Maddy a bit nervous, and she gets weary of Grave and Gauss. "We did some rotten things at World Three, but we never took it this far!" says Maddy.

Critique
If I liked Maddy before this episode, here's where I stopped liking her. Her character development here is nonsensical, and her motivations are contradictory. This episode focusing on her was probably a bad idea.
On the other hand, there are a few good moments here, and I like how over the top insane Gauss is. Lan actually has a few good lines as well, just look at that shit eating grin in the first screenshot! How can you not love that?
The animation in this episode is pretty hit and miss though, and a huge chunk of the lip syncing is only two frames of animation. It's especially bad in the opening scenes. This episode has it's moments, but it is pretty mediocre overall.
Rating: Thumbs down.
