The pair stumble upon a rainbow of Locals sunning at the blue pool of paint. Bong dives into the pool with a giant splash, covering the Locals. Now Bing must figure out how to restore each to its natural color Inspired by Bong's overlapping footprints, Bing comes up with a plan to combine different colors, restoring even the green, orange and purple Locals back to normal.
