Ed's Benedict is the 45a episode of the 4th season.

When Dave and Ping-Pong sneak an egg into Edward's bed as a prank, Edward enjoys parenthood after he thinks he's laid an egg.

Plot

The Jelly Beans and Samson are birdwatching on top of their cabin, but they keep missing various exotic species that fly by. All they can spot is Dave and Ping-Pong playing checkers, and Edward going out to the lake wearing a rubber ring. Raj concludes that Edward is "a duck", which the latter gets annoyed at. "Beaver!" Clam pipes in. Edward insists that he's a platypus, and that "this mammal ain't layin' no eggs." He then goes up to the loons and demonstrates them as "boids": they molt, they have tiny brains, etc.

The next morning, Chip and Skip got up early. They mutter amongst themselves as to whether they should wake Edward up and tell him what they are seeing. Finally Chip utters a tentative "Good morning, Edward", and Edward opens one eye, then the other. Edward complains that he slept funny and begins to ask what the two "wise guys" are yapping about when he notices something huge and round right between his legs. Edward falls right off the bed in dreadful surprise. Very frightened, Edward peeks over the bed at the object. "W-wh-wha-what happened last night?" he trembles. "Oh, don't worry", says Skip, "I leave accidents in my bed all the time." "This was no accident!" cries Edward. He puts an ear to the thing. He doesn't know what this is. Nervously, he pulls back the covers and it's... an egg! Convincing himself it's just a nightmare, Edward screams at himself to wake up. But it wasn't a dream at all, and the egg is still there.

Edward goes to see Nurse Leslie about the egg. Leslie gets out a film about platypi and shows it to him. But before the doctor in the film can explain whether or not platypi lay eggs, the film breaks.

Trivia

Credits: Edward and Samson are taking their "babies" out for a walk. Samson's baby is a roll of toilet paper. He and Edward both then kiss their babies, and walk away.

As a matter of fact, platypi do lay eggs; just not male ones.

The title is a pun on "Eggs Benedict".

Quotes

Edward: Oh Scoutmaster Lumpus, did you hear the good news?
(Lumpus looks over)
Edward: I'm expecting!
(Lumpus and Slinkman stare in horror)
Edward: See you later.
Lumpus: Slinkman, did you see that?
Slinkman: Well actually...
Lumpus: Good, I didn't either.

Samson: (with binoculars staring up at the sun) Is it bad to stare directly at the sun?
Clam: (also looking directly at the sun with binoculars and getting his eyes slowly burned) Yes.

Edward: WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!
Chip: You wanna lay another one?
Skip: We don't have to watch.

Edward: The Ed-man is going to calmly walk over here... he's going to close his eyes... and when he opens them, he's going to wake up from this nightmare. (Edward shuts his eyes tight)
Skip: Sneaky!
Edward: WAKE UP, EDWARD!!! There, it worked!
