Plot
There is much work to be done today for Zack's latest scam is to get all the kids rolling up to play his giant - and rigged - prize grabber machine. Double D is slaving away but Patrick's got other things on his mind, or rather out of his mind because he's busy playing with Jib his imaginary friend. Work on the grabber is held up for a while but Zack and Double D soon grow weary of Patrick n Jib's tireless antics, its time to get back to business. But Patrick isn't playing, or rather he is but not the game Zack would like him to play. Instead Patrick and Jib go around innocently putting their spanner in the works, distributing gifts for free and telling everyone that Zack's prize grabber is a money-making scam. Its just too much for Zack to take! Conscious that Jib will lead him to financial ruin he and Double D consult Jonny and Plank on the subject of imaginary friends and a way to get rid of Jib for good. Jonny is vague but Plank comes up trumps and surprisingly the plan works. Jib leaves, Patrick is heartbroken, Double D philosophical and Zack, feeling vengeful just wants to open Patrick's eyes. Don't blink!
