Ned asks Gordy for help, Gordy gives him a giant hamster ball, so no germs can enter Ned's path once he gets inside. However, Gordy warns Ned not to expose the ball to sunlight, but when it gets stuck between a desk and a wall, the sun shines directly to him, and he cannot break free. When he finally does, he walks past the nurse red hot, because of the sunlight that shined on him. The nurse checks the temperature of the bubble and because it is so hot she believes it to be fever, and forces Ned into her office, ruining his chances of meeting Mat Hoffman.

“Come let us mock at the good
That fancied goodness might be gay,
And sick of solitude
Might proclaim a holiday:
Wind shrieked and where are they?”

My mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap,
My days have crackled and gone up in smoke,
Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream.”
