Do The Worm

Do The Worm is the first episode of The Troop.

The Troop discovers that a Mongolian Death Worm is in Lakewood after it attacks a construction site where the vibrations from jackhammers attracted it. The Troop attempts to kill the worm by packing an old washing machine with explosives and detonating it to attract the worm. While they manage to detonate the washing machine over the worm, the worm splits into three seperate death worms. At this point, they realize that the worm will attack the senior dance--a school dance known for music so loud the room shakes.

Felix and Hayley each have a way of getting in--Hayley is dating Brad, a senior, and Felix is going in with the AV club--but Jake does not. In order to get into the dance, Jake dates Brittney, a terrifying senior. When they get there, the music is playing incredibly loud and Felix and Hayley attempt to convince the DJ to turn it down, but find that it is difficult to keep it that way. People begin to tell them to turn up the music, and so they have to. When the vibrations attract the death worms, Felix electrocutes them with specially rigged speakers. The speakers destroy the worms and everyone cheers Felix as a hero. Unfortunately for Felix, they must be snarked and he is retured to his pre-worm social status. Because the gym is seriously damaged, Mr.Stockley explains that there was a plumbing problem and that the dance is over. Everyone goes home, unaware of their near brush with death.
