Plot
The episode begins with nursery music. It shows Anais' stuffed toys, Darwin's shoes, and a picture of Gumball and Darwin that has been broken. As Anais explains the crime scene, the music slowly becomes lower and off key, and she investigates the room for clues. The bedroom was trashed because of Gumball And Darwin. She then samples the bowl of spilled milk on the floor, and says there was a lot of sugar in the milk. It cuts to a scene of Gumball and Darwin eating bowls of cereal, causing them to have a sugar rush. She concludes that Daisy was caught between the sugar rush, and something bad happened to her. So Gumball And Darwin made it look like a robbery by trashing the bedroom. She wasn't 100% sure if that was the case, so she called for Richard and asked him if he knew anything. Richard said he heard a strange noise in the bathroom and Gumball and Darwin exited the house in a panic. She used what Richard said to further investigate the crime scene. She then investigates the bathroom for more clues. After investigating the bathroom, her next step was to find Gumball. She didn't know where he was, but she ended up finding Darwin, who was at the trashcan. Darwin seen Anais and quickly ran to the shed in the backyard. Anais followed him to the shed and commanded him to open the door. Darwin said he didn't have to unless she had a warrant. Anais showed him a "warrant", that she wrote out on a notepad, and Darwin gives her credit for writing it well. Anais then kicks in the door to the shed and angrily asks Darwin where they put Daisy. Darwin pretends he doesn't know what she's talking about. Anais threatens to hurt Darwin if he didn't speak. Scared of Anais's wrath, Darwin explains what happened. It cuts to the scene when Gumball and Darwin eating the bowls of cereal. They both ate the entire box of cereal, which caused them to have a sugar rush. Gumball blows a raspberry before throwing away the empty cereal box.They both laughs at the raspberry Gumball blew. Gumball then grabs Daisy and says to Darwin "This is how you laugh." Darwin takes Daisy from Gumball and does the same. They do this repeatedly until they start tugging on Daisy which results in her getting destroyed, which also breaks them free from their sugar rush. Back in the shed, Darwin breaks out in tears, saying "It was a accident." Anais then ask Darwin if he knew where Gumball was. Darwin says he's in the cellar. And that's where Anais goes next. In the cellar, she finds Gumball digging a hole with a trash bag next to him. Making a pretend gun with her hand, she commands Gumball to freeze. Gumball also makes a pretend gun with his hand. Anais tells him to throw it away. Anais then commands him to get on the ground as she walks towards the trash bag. Anais ask him why he's digging a hole. Gumball says he was going underground. Gumball tells her don't make a "pew pew" sound with her mouth, as in telling her don't fire the gun. Anais does this anyways, and she ends up shooting the gas line.
