"The Celebrity Crush!" is the 918th episode of SML Movies.
Synopsis[]
Penelope has a celebrity crush!
Plot[]
Penelope shows Junior a music video created by famous British singer Toby Sherbert. Junior is disinterested in him, but Penelope begins hinting that she has a celebrity crush on him. Cody reassures him that it's just a fantasy and not real feelings, but Penelope shows them a personal cameo sent to her by Toby and free tickets to his next meet and greet.
Junior listens to Toby's music to see if it's all an act, but finds incriminating evidence about him describing Penelope's physical appearance. Cody also finds a page about Toby doing the same thing with other girls, and find out that Toby is planning to parachute into the meet & greet venue. And as a shocker to them, they can't get tickets to stop Toby from hitting on Penelope because the event was sold out. Junior decides to sabotage Toby's entry by ruining his parachute. Cody agrees to hack into their delivery service for him, as long as Junior doesn't go overboard.
Junior cuts big holes into his parachute (originally supposed to be small holes so that Toby will break his leg when he falls, making him unable to perform and see his fans after the show but Junior didn't have smaller scissors to cut the parachute), much to the disapproval of Cody. Penelope calls him and tells him about a cancer patient named Thomas skydiving with him as a Make-A-Wish thing and the parachute had "Cancer Free" on it to symbolize Thomas' freedom from cancer, silently shocking him.
As Steve Staleburger commentates on the event, Toby straps Thomas to his chest and uses the parachute, but the holes in the parachute makes it come apart and makes them fall faster and kills them on stage, which the trio watched it happen live on TV with guilty expressions. Penelope leaves in tears with her doppelganger and Toby's girlfriend, also named Penelope (which that meant their plan to supposedly injure Toby for hitting on Penelope was all for nothing and Toby was now gone from the face of the Earth because of Junior's stupid act of suicide to him). And during the SML Question box and Holiday Collection, Toby's spirit can be heard singing to the viewers.
