See No Ed

"See No Ed" is the 2nd episode of Season 4 and the 79th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds are nowhere to be seen and Kevin freaks out and thinks that the Eds are plotting an attack on him and the others through scam.

Plot
The episode begins with Kevin, who is showing off his skateboard in the Lane while the rest of the Kids watch in awe. Rolf's decision to join Kevin while he was aloft on his skateboard may not have been the brightest decision, and down the goes! Rolf crashes into the ramp, while Kevin pulls his bike out of nowhere landing safely and swiftly. Jonny, who's hoping to have a turn, gets the skateboard pulled out from under him by Sarah, leaving him to fall onto the ramp. Before Jimmy can have his turn, Kevin makes sure to remind Jimmy to be quick with his turn before the Eds show up to ruin their merriment and fun. Jonny claims that he wouldn't count on it because earlier this morning, the Eds were nowhere to be seen at the Playground, the Creek, the Junkyard or the Sewers. The other kids acknowledge the fact that the Eds seemed to have disappeared, so Jimmy decides that it's time for a party at his house to celebrate a day with no Ed interference!

At Jimmy's House, the party is just beginning in the backyard. Nazz, Sarah and Jimmy are all playing "pin the tail on the Eddy" and Rolf is messing with raisins in the cookies while Kevin is drinking a glass of milk. Kevin has a suspicion that the Eds are up to something, but Rolf is quick to deny this. Jonny meanwhile has found something in the drink cooler; a monkey mask! Sarah thinks it's just one of Ed's "stupid" drawings, and Jimmy wants everyone to relax and have some cookies. Of course, sticking your hand into the cookie box doesn't always go as planned. Jimmy's found a rubber glove with wool stuck to it that he claims is a "monkey hand". Kevin thinks that this has something to do with the Eds. But does it? He declares that everyone should search the Eds' houses for them. Rolf and Kevin go to find Eddy, Sarah, Jimmy, and Nazz leave to find Ed, and Jonny and Plank search to find Edd.

A search of the Eds' homes proves fruitless and Jonny hasn't seen them at the dump or sewers either. So where are they? Well, they're obviously up to no good that's for sure and if only paranoid Kevin could prove it, then he'd be able to relax and have fun. A trail of masks, gloves, and banana peels finally brings the kids to the gates of "Chimp Wurld" where, ignoring Kevin's advice that it is a scam by the Eds, they all pile in for some simian fun and are soon swinging from the vines, climbing into the tree houses, and generally running amok. Kevin can only watch in horror as one by one they all fall victim to faulty workmanship, his nerves are in shreds - he just knows the Eds have got his number so why prolong the torment? It's enough to make him scream out of fear and run for it.

So where are the Eds then? Not so very far away, in fact, and not terribly happy either because Ed's lost his monkey mask and his monkey glove, Eddy's lost his temper, and Edd's about to lose something very close to him, his underwear… oh my! The episode ends as it irises in while Edd is shown covering up himself.
