Synopsis
Tommy gets hurt while rescuing a baby bird. To help his cut heal, Didi places a Reptar bandage over it. After Phil & Lil notice this, they try to get hurt, too, so they can get Reptar wrapped around their fingers. Meanwhile, Angelica steps in, telling Tommy that he'll have to go to the hospital to sew him up so he won't get a "reflection" (infection) and get "tangerine" (gangrene). After that, Tommy refuses to have any fun so he won't get hurt.
