Scotty is unhappy that the Water's Edge is a mess and directs Carmen, Salty and Splish and Splash to tidy up their respective areas. After bumbling the job by rushing through it the first time, the group tries again and do a first rate job cleaning up when they take their time. All except Scotty, who rushes through and makes more of a mess than the others! Meanwhile, Nat asks for Skitter's help when he can't decide what to invent out of some old boxes. Nat's indecisiveness pays off, however, after watching Skitter skillfully crack open a bunch of nuts while he's trying to decide. They both decide that a Nat Nutcracker is what Nat needs the most!
