Plot
Band conflict
While performing at a Dethklok concert in a city near Machaerus, Jordan, Skwisgaar accidentally causes an electrical shortage by stepping on an plug connected to the machines on stage, resulting in a very violent on-stage fight between the band members and thei fans suing them over damages worth 16.7 million dollars. As Dethklok nurses their wounds at Mordhaus, Ofdensen appears and announces that he decided to hire a therapist for them to prevent future stage fights.
After learning of the stage fight, the Tribunal sends in Dr. Johnathan Twinkletits, a former member of the band Amazelingtons who, driven mad by the breakup of his band, disappeared for ten years and emerged as a therapist with extreme methods in dealing with his patients. The Tribunal hopes that Twinkletits will treat Dethklok to the point of permanent separation.
Therapy and banana stickers
While an unhappy Dethklok listens to Twinkletits lecture to them about their current "problems", Skwisgaar makes a rude comment about him and is promptly slapped hard in the face, much to the shock of his friends. Twinkletits warns that if one band member makes a mistake, Dethklok going to lose everything. After witnessing a typical session in the recording room where Skwisgaar deliberately insults Toki by describing his guitar skills as "unplaying a guitar", Twinkletits has a reluctant Toki show off his "creative voice" by having him sing, which he does only after he is yelled at.
In the dining hall, while the band members are having lunch, Twinkletits reveals that he has made himself a member of Dethklok and rewards Toki with a banana sticker from a storage lock on his belt. Murderface asks if he can have one and, upon being refused, throws a tantrum and leaves. He is later interrogated by Twinkletits and forced to relive a past traumatic memory where he watched his father commit a murder-suicide act as a baby; for this, he earns a banana sticker.
Psychological validation
Over the course of the next several days, Twinkletits's therapeutic methods and banana stickers gradually cause the members of Dethklok to become nicer and friendlier to each other. One day, while making a phone call, Twinkletits unwittingly lets slip that he murdered the Amazelingtons with a pen after their breakup. A shocked Toki overhears this and informs his friends, who are at first incredulous until Nathan further confirms that he noticed that things had been "getting out of hand" after Twinkletits arrived. The band ultimately decides to fire their therapist, but Pickles tells them that they're not going to have banana stickers anymore.
Later, they confront Twinkletits and inform him that he is fired. Nathan reveals to Twinkletits that he found out the therapist had been using banana stickers for "psychological validation" so they decided to get a chest full of them to get it without his help. At this moment, Twinkletits loses his temper and attempts to kill them when he slips on a banana sticker and falls out the window and onto the ground, where he gets mauled by the yard wolves. The band then starts to feel a little remorseful of the situation, when Pickles reveals that he is hungry. The episode ends with the eyes of Dethklok glowing red.
