[edit] Plot
[edit] "Escape From Unwish Island"
Timmy gets a video recording of Imaginary Gary on an island in the Bermuda Triangle. After going to Fairy World to investigate, Timmy finds that there is an Unwished part of Fairy World, containing lockers where godchild's Unwished Wishes are wished away to. But since Timmy had so much, he needed a bigger locker. And then, they had to bring his most dangerous Unwished Wishes to the Bermuda Triangle, where no one foolish enough would go.
At the beginning of the episode, several villains kidnapped Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Chester, A. J., Sanjay, and Elmer.
Timmy heads to Unwish Island (via escape pod to Unwish Island), where he easily frees them, saying this is all a dream(Sanjay was the hardest to convince), and they take an escape pod back home. Just as Timmy prepares to leave via another escape pod home, the pod is crushed, and a Giant Sphinx appears (a wish Timmy didn't actually wish away), along with the others.
After a conversation, Timmy shouts he's not afraid of Gary. But the other Unwished Wishes surround him, and he tells Gary he's afraid of them: Super Bike, Dark Laser, Pumpkinator, and Giant Sphinx. So, Gary grabs Cosmo's and Wanda's wands and stars part one of his diabolical plot... a totally rigged trial!
Timmy is declared guilty before he can object. Part two of Gary's plot... Timmy and his Unwished Wishes that still like him (if there are any) against Timmy's most revenge-craving Unwished Wishes!
With Gary as the announcer, Timmy has the Founding Fathers and Mark on his side, against: Giant Sphinx, Super Bike, Dark Laser, Pumpkinator, and Super Toilet.
Timmy, Mark, and the Founding Fathers are thrown in a (totally-metaphorable) jail-head, shaped like Timmy.
Now that Timmy landed them in jail, the Founding Fathers don't like Timmy much at all now. Gary lets them out because of this, and Timmy has one last plot in mind. Timmy asks if they set him free, he could make it all better.
Later, it is seen Timmy turned Unwish Island into a paradise, where Timmy clones can be continually hurt (via volleyball, surfboard, drums, and waiters you can hurt).
But the clones don't just help his enemies... Timmy's clones are doing his chores for him (Which Mom and Dad believe to be Timmy going so fast he's everywhere at once. The episode ends with the Timmy clones saying in unison "At least somebody likes me!"
[edit] "The Gland Plan"
The episode starts out with Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda thinking up ideas on how to get horrible babysitter, Vicky, to move away, the motive mentioned here involving her dad getting a job in New Zealand. However, Timmy's dad walks in. For some reason, Cosmo morphs into what is termed, "face cake."
Later on, back in the goldfish bowl up in Timmy's bedroom, Cosmo starts turning into all sorts of things (in order: a fork, pneumatic drill, claiming drills (which are "all the rave"), a couple of plugs and back into a fork). Timmy starts getting suspicious. Wanda asks, in her words, "do you have a problem with your - you-know-what?" Cosmo replies in a panicked tone that his "fa giggly gland" is fine.
Minutes later, in a doctor's surgeon, Doctor Rip Studwell confirms that Cosmo is in poor health, because his fa giggly gland is far from fine. He says they need to find a donor, before it is too late. As Cosmo is an only child, Wanda questions where they would find a match for the fa giggly transplant. The "fa giggly gland" is the special organ in a fairy's body that allows him/her to morph into a different thing. If the transplant is not complete, a fairy godparent may have their days as a godparent ended.
So, the trio (Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda) go to the Fairy Prison. After meeting Anti-Cosmo, Jorgen von Strangle refuses to let Anti-Cosmo out. They conduct a number of plans: firstly, they try drilling under the prison in an armoured vehicle, but they only tunnel under a cloud, it goes right through and explodes in mid-air, whilst the threesome eject and land on another cloud. They try another scheme at the prison track meet, and after that fails, they try a hot-air balloon - bad mistake, as Cosmo morphs again in mid-air, this time into a heavy weight.
Their third scheme is disguising themselves as laundry men, taking out clothing etcetera. Jorgen investigates, but it is Anti-Wanda who rumbles the feat. However, at the last minute, Jorgen's fa giggly gland malfunctions. The transplant is a complete success, apart from more than just the fa giggly glands being transported into each other.
