The Spoiler

"The Spoiler" is the 34th episode of Season 3 of The Amazing World of Gumball. It is the 110th episode overall.

Synopsis
When Gumball and Darwin have to wait to see a movie, they must go an entire week without someone spoiling the plot.

Plot
The episode starts with Gumball and Darwin's dilemma of not having enough money for a new movie called "The Screamening." Anais comes into the room with her piggy bank, saying that she has money, but Gumball and Darwin admit that they have already taken the money from it in the past. They also admit that they've raided Anais' safe. Anais mentions that Nicole had just given her $30, and would allow Gumball and Darwin to have it if they let her watch the movie with them. Gumball refuses to take her since it is a scary movie and it will make her flip, so he decides to wait for his allowance at the end of the week. Anais taunts Gumball, emphasizing the fact that he must avoid spoilers for the whole week. Darwin realizes that "The Screamening" is a scary horror movie, and starts pestering Gumball with questions as they go to school.

At the school cafeteria, their classmates overhear Darwin talking about the movie, and attempt to show them spoilers, much to Gumball's discontent. In rage and frustration, he consumes everyone's food and eats half of Anton. At home, Gumball once more deals with spoilers on Elmore Plus and the mailman. Anais takes advantage of this and tries to persuade Gumball with several items, and even a subliminal message on the TV. However, Gumball stays adamant and still refuses to take her, explaining that she will be traumatized if she saw the movie. Anais once more tries to explain that she can take it. Gumball shows her a photo of a piranha. Anais turns pale and freezes.

Gumball later goes to his room and calls Penny, who teases Gumball by pretending to give a spoiler. Suddenly, Patrick, who is apparently eavesdropping on their conversation, blurts out a spoiler. Several more eavesdroppers reveal themselves, including Darwin. Gumball gives up, goes outside, and starts digging a hole to bury his head in. The radio then goes off; there is a contest to see who knows the Screamening best. A question is asked, and a caller - Rocky - attempts to answer it; another spoiler. Before Rocky can answer, Gumball apparently beats him up. When Gumball returns, however, Carmen's father spoils the meaning behind the movie's title. Gumball buries his head into the hole.

Saturday finally arrives, Gumball has all his stuff and to prevent spoilers, he blindfolds and earmuffs himself causing him to bump into many things. At the movie theater, Darwin reveals that he had watched the movie, and spoils the first line of dialogue. While eating popcorn, they find out that Anais has stowed away in Gumball's backpack and is recording the whole movie. Gumball screams, distracting Pantsbully from his phone call. Larry then notices Anais and gives chase. Gumball, Darwin and Anais escape under the seats but are stopped for a moment by "fossilized soda."

They successfully evade Larry, but Gumball taunts, saying that Larry's paycheck is the same size as his I.Q. Larry hears this and turns around. Gumball, Darwin and Anais try to escape but realize they are cornered. Gumball gets stuck in a folding chair, and says that they should leave him (so that he can continue to watch the movie), but instead, Darwin has an idea that he knows Gumball won't like.

Darwin spoils the movie's ending as "The demon baby was a figment of his imagination because the dentist has 7 different split personalities and every character in the movie is him." The audience voice their dissent and leave. This allows Gumball, Darwin and Anais to get away. While leaving, Anais turns back and catches a glimpse of the demon baby and turns pale once more.

Outside the theater, Gumball and Darwin eat ice cream. Darwin apologizes for spoiling. Gumball, surprisingly, thanks him from saving him from the worst ending ever and that he got his money back. They turn to Anais, who is still in her freaked out position. The episode ends with Gumball smearing ice cream on Anais.
