In this episode, the initial joy of freedom from humans is replaced by the harsh reality of "Cibopolis" politics.
The emotional core of the episode involves a trial presided over by Rutabaga Ginsberg (Natasha Rothwell). A popsicle named Pops Icle is accused of stealing a tooth to save his family from melting, but tragically melts before the eyes of the court.
Julius the Orange (voiced by Sam Richardson) uses his massive hoard of human teeth to buy up real estate, forcing perishables into slum-like conditions because they cannot afford refrigerated housing.
