Other than Marcus, the Electric Company leaves town for the 4th of July. Jessica is at an concert, Hector and Shock are rock-climbing and Keith is at the beach. Manny and Danny couldn’t be happier—with everyone gone, they can pull the ultimate prank by launching a giant wordball balloon that reads "The Electric Company doesn't like you." Marcus enlists his friend Emily and Paul the Gorilla to help him stop the pranksters and save the Electric Company's reputation.
