Episode Summary
It's Valentine's Day, and everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom is celebrating. Everyone is giving each other gifts of affection. Mario to Peach, Luigi to Daisy, Yoshi to Birdo, Toad to Toadette, Donkey Kong to Dixie Kong, Toadsworth to Felicia. Bowser Jr. looks outside the castle window and starts pouting.

He starts listening to a song that reminded him of his pathetic, single life. He goes to Bowser and wants to get a girlfriend. Bowser is busy preparing a torture of method to Allan, but he thinks it'll have to wait. Family over evil. Allan thinks that's somewhat sweet. Bowser says to be quiet. He still needs him locked up for his great scheme. Allan gulps.

In town, Bowser and Bowser Jr. go girl searching. Bowser Jr. spots a really cute Koopa girl. Bowser takes a good look at her and thinks she wouldn't be Bowser Jr.'s type. Bowser Jr. doesn't care and goes up to the girl. Bowser thinks he has more guts to the ladies than he does. Bowser Jr. introduces himself and the girl introduces herself as Kelly. Bowser Jr. thinks this is gonna be easier than he thought.

Pretty soon, Bowser Jr. scores a date, but he has to be sure she loves him. He started playing "Loves Me Not" to make sure. The flower gets a "loves me" so Bowser Jr. assumes everything will be okay. He takes Kelly out to MFC for dinner. Bowser is proud of his son.

Kelly and Bowser Jr. cause havoc together in town, after Bowser Jr. discovers Kelly has an evil side. They graffiti the town hall, shoplift some candy, and start playing horrible songs on the radio. Bowser Jr. and Kelly think this is going to be a great relationship.

When Bowser Jr. goes home, he is a happy camper. But, Bowser is up to some very serious things. Bowser Jr. wonders what's going on, and why his father has Allan hooked up to an electric chair. Allan explains his backstory. Allan was once an evil salesman. He sold trinkets to all the kingdom's greatest villains including King Boo, Petey Piranha, and the Koopa Bros gang. But one day, when he delivered a device that would destroy a church nursery, Allan knew it was finally time to give up the business. He gave up evil and became a good guy, somewhat. He still committed crimes every now and then, but they were all mild.

Allan was now there against his will as a revenge act for Bowser for never getting his nursery destroying device. Bowser Jr. thinks this is all boring and goes to his room. Bowser now needs him to make a very special delivery. Allan complains he still never got his end of the bargain. Bowser groans and gives him his juice-filled fruit snacks. Allan is happy now. Bowser continues his point. He says he needs Allan to help him find the location of a powerful space crystal. Allan gulps and says it won't be a problem. But he already knows it's going to be a very big problem.
