Synopsis[]
Chowder eats a large amount of Dancing Diablos and breaths out the fire everywhere, forcing him to leave the Catering Company and move in with dragons.
Plot[]
Mung Daal and Chowder are cooking Dancing Diablos, which are extremely hot peppers. When the Diablos ignite Mung's moustache, he panics, and accidentally releases them. Chowder eats the Diablos to stop them from escaping, but he can't open his mouth without letting out a large stream of fire, since he ate the Diablos raw; he accidentally sets the kitchen on fire. Later, Mung, Shnitzel, and Truffles have to make a dish by singing as loudly as possible. Chowder is banned from doing so, because of the flames. After a few minutes, Chowder eventually snaps and opens his mouth, setting the kitchen ablaze again even ruining the soufflé in the process since he couldn't keep the fire in his mouth for long anymore. Despite this conclusion, Mung is angry at Chowder for carelessly opening his mouth that wreck the kitchen and scorches soufflé due to his defiance and then sends him to his room without any dinner as punishment, even though it was his own fault for not keeping Chowder in another room. Later that night, A sobbing Chowder, with his mouth closed, writes a goodbye note and leaves by using his hat as a hot-air balloon. Mung goes up to Chowder's room to apologize to him and tell him that he can learn to live with being on fire, but finds his goodbye note in bad writing. Chowder finds a dragon's cave and, after fire-dueling with one of the three dragons, befriends them. The four have a great time together, until Chowder digests the Diablos via extreme flatulence. He is kicked out and leaves them another goodbye note as one of the dragons looks at him leaving sadly. He then ends the episode by happily to Mung, Shnitzel and Truffles to work in the kitchen.

Meta-References[]
- After Chowder sets the kitchen on fire Mung yells at him saying "Look at what you've done! Now the animators are gonna have to draw all this fire!"
- After Mung explains to Chowder why he married Truffles he says to "never mention it again" and winks to the camera.

- Chowder burns the background away, including Mung Daal.
- Chowder rips a part of the background in his bedroom and stores it in his suitcase before he leaves.
- Mung is reading Chowders letter and says "It's a good thing I heard the voice over!" since a running gag of the series is Chowder's handwriting being unreadable.
Errors[]

- When the one dragon reads Chowder’s goodbye letter, the dragon had a tear in its eye. In the next scene it can be seen folding its arms in the background looking like its angry at Chowder.
