The Wand

The Wand is the twenty-ninth episode of The Amazing World of Gumball.

Synopsis
Gumball and Darwin help Richard believe in magic again.

Plot
The episode begins in the dining room with Richard trying to unclog the kitchen sink with a toilet plunger and Gumball is pouring cereal for Darwin and himself. After explaining why lunch is better than breakfast or dinner, a plastic wand falls out of the cereal box and into Darwin's bowl. Gumball grabs it and makes a wish for six eyes, to no effect. Darwin tries wishing as well, but this time he waves it, yielding the same result. They conclude that the magic wand is fake. Richard, homing in on the words "magic wand", rushes over and asks Gumball for it. He first wishes for it to actually work, unlike the magic wishbone that crushed his childhood dreams. A flashback to Richard's childhood plays, showing him breaking a wishbone with his mother and wishing for his sausages to fly into his mouth. After waiting a while, he nervously asks his mom why his wish isn't coming true, to which she reveals that magic is fake. This causes Richard to scream for several years - he screams through major events in his life like his high school photo, his (presumed) first date with Nicole, and his wedding. After Richard explains how his discovery of magic being fake ruined his childhood, Gumball and Darwin now have to make his wishes come true.

Richard's first wish was the same one that crushed his dreams - the wish for sausages to fly into his mouth. Gumball and Darwin simply tied a sausage to a fishing pole and reeled it towards dad's mouth. He eats it and rejoices, but then he hears a noise coming from the kitchen. It was the kitchen sink, clogged and nearly overflowing with goop. He groans, thinking of the work that is to come, but then realizes that he still has the magic wand and simply wishes for the sink to unclog itself. Gumball and Darwin were hiding in the cabinet where the sink's pipes are located when they overhear the wish. Not knowing how to fix a sink, they start yanking the pipes in the hopes it would do something. The pipe's connector falls off, causing the cabinet to flood with the green goop that was in the sink. With no other readily available option, Gumball covers the open pipe with his mouth, filling his mouth with the disgusting green liquid and eventually swallowing it all at once. This bloats up his stomach, and after a poke, he spews it all out right into Darwin's face. Richard bows to the wand, worshipping it's supposed magical power, and bestows the name of Wanda onto it.

Then in the backyard, Gumball and Darwin grant one of Richard's wishes by ripping off his clothes. This catches the attention of The Robinsons, who go over and tell Richard to put some clothes on. Thinking he's a wizard, Richard casts a bunch of "spells" on the Robinsons.

First act by Gumball and Darwin leaves Gaylord in a bra and bikini, to the shock of him and Margaret and Richard, then the second act leaves Gaylord naked, shocking them and Richard again, which leaves Gaylord back in the same bra and bikini again, to which the fourth act has a watermeleon on Margaret's head, and then the fifth and final act has both Gaylord and Margaret hanging in midair because they are now caught by ropes. After Richard leaves, the Robinsons are convinced that Richard is a wizard, and they run in a terrified panic. Richard runs to the front of the house with Wanda, over confident with his "magic". Gumball and Darwin then decide to take Wanda from Richard. They meet Richard at the front door, to act a battle with Richard. Richard then continously casts a slip-over spell, slow motion spell, reverse spell, love spell, and an inside out spell, much to his horror, forcing himself to cast a "back to normal" spell at Gumball and Darwin, and they fake react to the spells.

Richard then makes Gumball and Darwin switch faces and butts, and makes them kiss each other. This then causes Gumball to tell the truth. Richard thinks they are making it all up, but when he tries to fly in midair, he then realizes that Gumball and Darwin were doing humiliating things for him, and the gang hug. Richard quickly realizes that Gumball and Darwin told him magic was fake, and he starts screaming again. Meanwhile, Gaylord Robinson finds Wanda on the street, and trys showing its power which he quickly regrets.

Trivia

 * Nicole wears her wedding dress in Richard's flashback, which is much bigger than when Gumball wore it in The Dress.
 * It is revealed in this episode that the Watterson's street number is 1026.
 * Granny Jojo was the cause of Richard's long-term screaming, disappointing him by saying that the wishbone's supposed magic and magic itself "is a fraud".
 * This is the first new episode that aired on a Tuesday.
 * This is the first episode where Mr. Robinson was seen completely naked.
 * Richard and Nicole's wedding flashback appeared once again in The Ape, but strangely, Richard was not screaming in that episode, implying that he was exaggerating a bit.
 * Richard names his wand, Wanda. This is most likely a reference to Wanda from the Fairly Oddparents. Also, Wanda carries a wand as well.
 * Goof: When Gumball is sucking up the sink water in the pipe after Gumball and Darwin break the sink pipe, one of the pipes disappears when the scene briefly changes from Richard back to Gumball and Darwin.
