Ed, Ed and Away

"Ed, Ed and Away" is the 10th episode of Season 3 and the 62nd episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds try to catch a red balloon after scamming Kevin.

Plot
Kevin strolls by minding his own business, but the Eds' "Crazy Ed's Custom Hot Bikes" opens, and Kevin happens to fall for it after Eddy makes fun of Kevin's bike. The test drive of the low quality, good-looking bike makes Kevin lose interest in buying it, and focuses on getting payback discreetly, deciding to send red balloons up to the sky, knowing each of the Eds would be interested in them and be distracted by them.

Ed wants to bond with the balloon, Edd is moved by it, wanting it to escape from harm's way and Eddy desperately wants to destroy it. Then, they head through obstacles to catch it, such as running through Rolf's farm, down dead ends and through Sarah and Jimmy's airplane imagination, but never do. Sarah ends up getting it and does Eddy's popping request without his help. Though Eddy is angry about this, Kevin lets loose of another balloon and now they are after another one and the Eds gets distracted again, they'll never know they were being fooled as pawns for his revenge.
