Plot
Max is still hungry after Ruby makes him a strawberry jam and lettuce sandwich because the sandwich isn't in him, it's all over him! Ruby decides that Max needs a bath, but because he's still hungry he keeps bringing food into his bath. Each bath involves Max dropping his food into the bath, getting the water dirty, and himself. After taking Max out of every bath, Ruby decides he should take a shower instead. Little did Ruby know, once Max pointed out, taking him out of each bath also got her dress dirty in the process too!
Synopsis
The episode begins with Ruby putting food back in the fridge. Max is about to eat the last piece of sandwich, but it falls from his hand and into his poket. Max is still hungry. Ruby says to him that he's still hungry, because his sandwich is not in him, it's all over him. She then helps Max off the table. She laughs that he looks disgusting. He has jam on his face, lettuce in his ears, and bread in his pocket. She then brings Max upstairs to the bathroom. She turns on the water and helps Max get undressed. She puts dirty clothes in the hamper. She feels the temperature of the bath and it feels good. While Ruby continues making it, Max walks back down to the kitchen.
He goes to the fridge and gets out an orange flavoured sherbet. Ruby hurries to him and cannot believe Max is all sticky. They go upstairs and Ruby puts the sherbet on the stool. Ruby feels the water and it is still nice and warm. She puts Max in the bath and decides to give him a bubble bath. She goes to the cupboard and sees all the shampoos, and bubble baths, and chooses her favorite: peach blossom. In the bath, Max wants to have his sherbet. He picks it up and eats it. He then plays with it, using it as a toy boat. Then he turns the sherbet tub over, causing it to spill, and the water to turn orange.
After making more coloured water tubs, (green from the lime sherbet and purple from the grape juice) Ruby decides that Max must not have any more baths. So Max takes a shower instead. Now Max is clean after a shower, but in the end, Ruby's dress gets covered with sherbet and grape juice stains.

- All of the colors listed here are secondary colors minus brown (that being, orange, green, and purple).
