Tinker Ed

' "Tinker Ed" is the 14th episode of Season 5' and the 115th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy''. In this episode, Jimmy finds that though there's no such things as fairytales.

Plot
The episode starts when the students of Peach Creek Jr. High are gathered in the library, doing homework and reading books. Sarah is reading a poetic fairytale to little Jimmy, and to annoy those around her, she starts reading louder and louder until an enraged Kevin comes over and tells poor Jimmy, who has a belief in fairytales, that such nonsense does not exist. Sad Jimmy bursts into tears, arguing that fairytales do exist, and Rolf, worried about the safety of the load of baloney he literally has stored inside of his backpack, is afraid that the other kids are after his secret stash of baloney. Edd sympathizes with Jimmy while Eddy couldn't care less, but Jimmy's strong beliefs give the selfish and greedy con artist an idea for a scam. While Jimmy tries to transform an ordinary carpet into a flying carpet with his trusty stuffed dog Mr. Yum Yum by his side, Eddy walks over and tells Jimmy he saw a unicorn in the forest and that, for twenty-five cents, he'd take Jimmy to go see the unicorn if he wanted. Jimmy agrees and plans to take a picture of the unicorn to show to Kevin and prove that fairy tales really do exist. Jimmy is convinced by the costume and tries to play with the unicorn until the costume comes off and revealing the unicorn's portrayers to be Ed and Edd, making Jimmy not believe in fairytales anymore. Crestfallen, Jimmy runs off crying, while satisfied Eddy plans to spend the quarter Jimmy paid him to see the "unicorn," but Edd scornfully rejects even the temptation of sweet jawbreakers and scolds Eddy for his deceptive behavior. The trio is given something to feel sorry for when Sarah stops by to tell the Eds that their scam turned Jimmy into a miserable zombie. Edd realizes that the affect the manipulation had on Jimmy was worse than he thought, so he decides to have the Eds dress up as fairy tale creatures (such as a mermaid and a dwarf) and Sarah snaps a picture of the Eds and shows it to Kevin, who now isn't as doubtful of the existence of fairytales.
