The Big Trip is the twenty-ninth episode in the second season of Unikitty!.
It first aired on March 1, 2019.
Synopsis[]
It's time for the gang's yearly vacation, but Hawk refuses to go, claiming the gang's vacations are never fun for him because the others are terrible at vacationing. Hawk only agrees to go if the gang pass his super-intense vacation training course.
Plot[]
One day in the Unikingdom, Hawkodile is seen flexing for Dr. Fox, Richard, and Puppycorn in their living room when Unikitty flies into the room carrying a load of luggage. She drops the luggage on Puppycorn and announces it is time for the quintet's yearly vacation. The group is excited, claiming that each vacation is better than the last and that this would be their best yet. However, Hawkodile shows fear and hesitation for the vacation rather than excitement ("Oh, boy. It's that time already?"). When asked to explain his refusal of the trip, the hawk-crocodile hybrid says the vacations are never fun for him because the others are "terrible at vacationing," with flashbacks of the last three trips showing the bodyguard managing everything and supervising the group himself, making his experience stressful (he sheds a tear at the end of each flashback). The characters continue to negotiate with Hawk. He finally agrees to go, but only if the group completes his "awesomely epic vacation training course," which Unikitty, Dr. Fox, Richard, and Puppycorn agree to.
The first stage of the course involves taking proper selfies; Hawkodile gives the group smartphones with selfie sticks attached. He says this stage is important because if the gang lived the moment in their photographs, they would be "nonexistent." Hawk then sends the friends into the course, where they stop at each photorealistic cardboard scenery to take a selfie. The group is terrible at first, but they soon excel in the activity (except for Richard, who keeps taking photos in front of garbage bins; he still passes anyway).
After the friends complete the first stage, they move to the second, where Hawkodile informs that, due to an incident from a previous vacation where the characters develop foodborne illness from moldy cheese, need to condition their stomachs for suitability to any foreign meal (get "guts of steel"). He does this by excessively force-feeding the group metal. It works temporarily (everyone gets strong abdominal muscles), but the effects revert, and the characters' stomachs balloon to obese proportions.
Unikitty, Dr. Fox, Richard, and Puppycorn, are now overfull and need to urinate (or defecate; the cartoon never shows them drinking). They try informing their condition to Hawk, but it only leads them to the third stage. To find public restrooms in foreign lands and the unpredictability of their closures, the gang needs to learn the "Pee Pee Dance" to hold their waste and make it to another restroom faster. After completing this, the course's final stage ("Physical Endurance") occurs where the previously learned skills are tested as the gang climbs the tallest mountain in their kingdom. The characters use their skills despite Hawkodile pushing obstacles and reaching the mountain's summit, where they all use a single public restroom. Hawkodile congratulates his friends for finishing his training course, but he sees they have all fallen asleep from the intense activities. The ending reveals Hawkodile's course to be a plan to tire the group so they don't go on their yearly vacation.
