The episode starts from Nicole's point of view, being forced to deal with a hyperactive 4-year-old Gumball, who does all sorts of mischievious things, such as catapulting oranges, putting objects in the washing machine, breaking the ceiling, and is somehow able to bring both sand and snow into the house. She goes upstairs to find Richard in a bath of grape soda. She then finds Gumball in his room, acting so cute his mother can't even stay mad at him. Tired of their son's behavior, and in desperate need for sleep, the parents decide to get him a pet fish. Gumball is fascinated with his new pet, and decides to call it Darwin. Despite Darwin being unable to respond to his owner, Gumball enjoys playing with him very much. However, one early morning, Darwin doesn't wake up, and Nicole and Richard realize he's dead. Not wanting to upset Gumball, Richard buys a new fish to replace the dead one without telling his son that his first fish died.

After many fish end up dying because of Gumball and or Richard's irresponsibility, Richard goes to the pet store to buy yet another fish, who is interrupted by Larry, who said that the last two fish jumped out of the tank when they saw Richard coming. As he walks home wondering how he's going to explain this to Gumball, Richard is offered a fish by a man from a mysterious van. As Richard purchases the fish, the man tells him that this fish is very special, and must be treated with good care.

The new Darwin is placed as Gumball's new pet fish. Later on, Gumball is seen playing with Darwin under the kitchen table. However, he notices that Darwin is unusually intelligent for a goldfish, as he is able to understand everything he says, and is able to mimic facial expressions. Out of curiosity, they both reach their hands out for each other, and unknowingly establish a strong bond between them, which they can feel in their hearts. Then, Darwin demonstrates his ability to talk. The amazed Gumball wants to surprise his parents, and tells Darwin to look as dumb as possible, and goes to tell Nicole. Richard walks into the kitchen, and sees Darwin floating motionless in his bowl, thinking he's dead. Richard goes and almost flushes him down the toilet, but Gumball stops him at the last second. Nicole then decides to take a family picture. When she tells everybody to say "Cheese," Darwin jumps out of his bowl to say it. Nicole and Richard are startled by this, and accidentally throw him out of the bowl. He lands on the lever and the toilet, and gets flushed, much to Gumball's horror. A title card saying "To Be Continued..." then comes up on the screen.
