When people need stuff done at the park they turn to Skips.  Problem is all these responsibilities are causing Skips a lot of stress, so much so that when he takes a stress test at the mall the readings are off the charts! The pharmacist tells him that if he doesn’t lower his stress, Skips could die. As a result, despite the fact he needs to take the rest of the day off, Skips is ordered to take the rest of the day off. The next day Skips tries to go back to work, but again his stress overcomes him and he nearly dies. Pops tells him about ringing some bell in the Himalayas where doing so will relieve him of all of his stress. Skips kinda knew about the bell, but said he didn’t want to do it because the process of actually ringing the bell may  make him a lot worse.  In any case, its worth a shot and the guys fly over to the mountains and traverse through all of the dead bodies to reach the bell. Skips orders everyone to keep their ears covered while the bell is ringing. Skips sets off the bell and all of the sudden a big huge stress monster comes warping out of him. Unfortunately, Skips had forgotten his ninja sword in the car, and when Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, and Pops try to get it stress monsters emit from their bodies as well and merge with the other monster. Thankfully, all that stress is no match for teamwork and the occasional spear or sword and the guys defeat the monster. Benson promise Skips that in the future everyone will pitch in on chores.

Stress is a killer, but this week’s episode was very good. I don’t know if this week was the funniest episode I had ever seen, but the fight sequences at the end were good enough for me. Do yourself a favor, don’t ‘skip’ this week’s episode!
