Cleanliness Is Next to Edness

"Cleanliness Is Next to Edness" is the 4th episode of Season 5 and the 106th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Edd's shower is out of order and tries to find another shower to use in order to start off his day.

Plot
The episode starts with Edd waking up, while at the window, Ed and Eddy are telling him they're going to be late for school, but Edd tells them that today is Saturday as he shows on his calendar. Eddy got enraged when it's Saturday, but Ed tells that his belly told him that it Gravy Day. Ed then gets a flyswater out and smacks his belly and tells it, "Bad belly". Eddy is still enraged, and started to chase Ed. Edd started his day by getting ready to take a shower, but a sticky note told him that the shower is out of order due to renovations. Edd started to go all around the Cul-de-Sac trying to convince them that his shower is out to renovations.

Edd started at Eddy's house. Eddy was still angry at Ed, telling him to scram because of his belly. Ed is still telling him that it was his belly's fault. When Edd was about to ask for a shower at his house, Eddy threw him out, refusing. Ed thinks that Edd's belly also lied to him too just like Ed.

Jimmy was next, with a beauty salon, giving Jonny a makeover. Sarah checked for a shower, but said that Jimmy has an open in three weeks. Edd freaks out about this as he said he needs one now. He glued Sarah's hands, refusing to go away until he gets a shower. He also accidently tripped an object hitting Sarah, which got Jimmy scared. While Jonny was also with Edd, he asked him if he can use his shower. Jonny simply replied by saying "Nope". Sarah, angrily, threw Edd out.

Then, Rolf comes to scene. While Edd was trying to convince him, Rolf couldn't hear him as he had two potatoes in his ears. Edd wrote with dirt words that said "Shower". He then gone crazy with trash until Edd's Ghost of Edd's Cleanliness appeared to tell him to stop it. Edd wanted to use his shower, but he went away after he smelled Edd and he said, "No shower for me". Lastly, he went crazy and saw more trash at Nazz's house. Nazz allowed Edd to take a shower at her house, but Edd was shocked and embarrassed because he saw a bra on the sink.

After all that, Eddy was enjoying his shower, while also seeing Ed at the window again. Ed told him that he found someone who looks like Edd, but it was him. Reeking, Ed started cleaning him by "Removing custard out of his bellybutton". While Edd was scared because Ed had a cheese grater, Eddy wanted to go get a camera for this, also telling Ed that before the screen turned black.

 * Jimmy had his third scam in this episode (also in "Ed in a Halfshell" and "Stuck in Ed").
 * Edd's parents' message was all the way across his unfinished bathroom, as if they expected Edd to crawl across the dangerous beams to get to it. One would think that they would put it on the door with a warning telling Edd not to enter the bathroom.
 * If Edd's bathroom had already been torn apart like it was, wouldn't he have known about it long before it was renovated?
 * It is revealed that without a shower to cleanse himself, Edd can become mentally unstable and insane, even to the point of having hallucinations.
