At career day, Kiff and Barry secure summer jobs at City Hall to help the citizens of Table Town. The mischief continues as Kiff unleashes five forces of chaos, and Helen (voiced by Lucy Heavens) is the only one who can help. Then she has to have an uncomfortable conversation with Barry about finishing Martin’s orange juice.
