Gumball and Darwin decided to go back home, but Hector stops them so he can tell jokes that he and his mom do all the time. Hector tells why the chicken cross the road. Gumball doesn't know. He then says its for a legitimate reason. Gumball responds by saying it was not a joke, it was a sentence. At that point, the music box turns on and Hector goes to sleep. Gumball picks up his diary and reads it to discover his secrets. He finds out things like he must not laugh, get over excited, shout, and sneeze. To them it was a how to guide to ruin a life. Darwin asked him who told him to write it all down. Gumball points out is was his mother. Hector's mom pops out and asked them why they were in his sons's bedroom. Gumball asked why she was trying to take a fun out of his life. After a brief conversation, they were told to leave.

Gumball and Darwin on a bench eating lunch with Hector next to them on a building eating a turkey sandwhich. Gumball wonders if Hector knows what his mom is doing to him, but Darwin said it's not their business. Hearing this, Gumball gets angry and decides to have a talk to Hector. He says it not his fault he's boring and says it's his mom's fault for him being boring. He tells him to tell her to get him real comics and movies. Darwin cuts him off at a real live hamster because he does not want him to know. Hector responds saying she's doing what's best for him. Gumball responded by asking if it isn't best for him to laugh, cry, and sneeze. He finally starts hitting him Darwin tells him he was hitting his toes, but Gumball knows. He now asked is he was going to stand up to her. Hector says he was in an angry tone.

When the boys got to the cave, Hector is already arguing with his mother because he is boring. He's end it by saying he's going to show what he's got. Hector leaves the cave still angry with his mother saying to try his breathing technique to calm down, but he responds by saying that was boring too. Hector's mom asked what Gumball and Darwin has done to his son. Gumball said they just improve his life. She asked what they know about giants. All he knew was that were just giants. She says yes and also their emotion. She explains to them she was giving him a calm life, not a boring one. If a giant isn't calm, they start destroying things. Hector starts destroying some of the forest. Next he moves on into the town. Hector destroys the Robinson's house. In response without noticing the damage, Mr. Robinson tells his wife to close the window. The Donut Sheriff attempts to stop him, but that is when he stomps on his car and decides to let him pass. Hector screams at a bunch of senior citizens saying he is not boring. Everyone else is blown away except the old mouse who asked what did Hector said.

Back at the cave, Darwin knew they had to do something to stop him. Gumball gets an idea to use Hector's mom witch broom to go and get him. He fails to fly as she said she's also a cleaning lady and the one he chose was just a normal broom. So the three got the witchy ones and flew off. Everyone was used to it except for Gumball who is afraid at flying at this height. Hector's mom explained they needed to be this high in order to get close to her son's head and play the music box. Now before they go on, Gumball apologizes to her. She said don't sweat it. She next said she is going to try to calm Hector down and she is going to give the music box to him. She throws it, but it falls. She tells to go get it while she and Darwin leads Hector somewhere safer. Gumball stops his broom, but this causes him to fall. While falling to the ground, Gumball sees his broom and goes to grab. He does it just in time before he hits the ground. The broom takes off again and just when the senior citizens got back into their positions. The broom knocks everyone out of their seat except the old mouse who fell off seconds later. Gumball was out of control and tries to stop the broom, but ends up skidding across the street. The good news was that he got the music box. The bad news was Hector who was about to step on him, but Darwin saves him in the matter of seconds. Gumball now commands Darwin to bring him up to Hector's ear. Only problem was is that the broom was carrying to much weight so Gumball was going to have to jump. This is a problem to him because he didn't want to grab onto Hector's butt. Darwin tells him to do it anyway. It results in Gumball squeezing his butt and Hectors swats him away to another part of his fur. While climbing, Darwin goes to meet Gumball with a smug on his face. He tells him before he can judge other people's life choices, he should judge his first. Gumball tells him to take a good long look at the duck. Darwin asked him what duck which results a duck hitting him. Gumball finally gets to his ear and tries to wind up the music box, but loses it when Hector's foot slid on a food van. Seeing what had happened, Hector's mom tells Gumball to whistle the tune in his ear. So then he starts whistling and Hector started feeling sleepy and fell at the stadium. Before fully falling sleep, Gumball apologizes for calling him boring. Hector responded saying that all the excitement that happened doesn't suit him. He decides to go back to being boring. Gumball says he wasn't boring, he was nuts. Hector finally went to sleep. Hector's mom and Darwin came along. She asked if Gumball was okay. He responded saying he was just fine. She said to him that she was going to take care of Hector from here.

At their house, Gumball and Darwin found out they had a friend request from Hector. They don't know if they should accept it. Darwin said if they did, he would get excited and trash the town.
