Plot

Rose in the dream date

The episode starts out with Jake and Rose on a literal “dream date” in a dream version of Paris. Jake asked Rose if she remembered anything about her parents. She said, “No. The earliest memory I have is crying in my Hunts-crib for my Hunts-nanny to change my Hunts-diaper.”

Jake said that he too, had the same memoirs. “Well, except without all of the 'hunts.'”

After a brief conversation, Jake decided to take Rose to his dream with the dream charm Rose had given him.

As the scene changed, both he and Rose are in a dream version of Hawaii. Rose comments on how beautiful the scenery is. She then said.”Listen, Jake. I wouldn't have the courage to tell you this in the real world. But I...” She was then cut off, thanks to Jake's alarm clock.

Tardy to school as usual, Jake gets detention from the principle, which is now Professor Hans Rotwood.

When Jake was in detention, Rotwood asked why he was late for school again. Jake started to explain, but got cut off. “Although flunking you out of 7^th grade would please me more than a alpha pooching on a hot plate. The school board mandates I give repeat offenders one last chance to do make-up credit.”

Rotwood told Jake that he would have to do a written examination of one of the greatest scientific minds of modern time. When Jake asked who, Rotwood said “Ahh, zat little detail will be plodded in my noggin.” Jake then gets upset by saying, “What?! I have to know what to study, otherwise how am I suppose to pass?” Rotwood then told him he doesn't expect him to, then he laughs evilly.

After the theme song, we see Spud and Trixie at the library during study hall. Spud is asleep while Trixie said to him, “Spud! You're slobbering! I did not hear my shoes asking for a spit shine!” When Spud awoke, he then said he couldn't believe he fell asleep without his 'equipment'. While Spud put that on, Trixie asked Jake how his studying is doing. Jake told her that he had exactly 43 hours to study every great scientific mind for his assignment and pass or else Rotwood will hold him back a grade. Trixie then said that Rotwood is being extra harsh then usual lately, with Jake agreeing. Then she asked him what's the real reason he's been late school. Jake admitted he had been hanging out with

Jake, Trixie, and Spud in the library

Rose in his dreams and it had been awesome. Spud then complains that no mater how hard he tried he couldn't remember his dreams. The scene then changed and showed Spud doing a test on sleeping, and his brain activity was pretty much nothing.

Trixie said she'll probably fail in biology because she can't seem to remember anything she reads. She then goes on to say that the only thing that needs “'Fixing' is the broken snack machine downstairs. Who's with me?” 

After she said that, Spud fell asleep again. Jake reminds her that he needs to study. He then reads aloud, “Did you know the flush toilet was invented by a dude named John?”

Jake and Rose on their second dream date

During that night, Jake was on another dream date with Rose. After awhile, Rose noticed that he 

wasn't focused on having fun with just the two of them. He then explains his assignment and ended it with, “Unless I can climb into his (Rotwood's) head and see what he's thinking, I”m toast.” That gave Rose an idea. She then led Jake into a corridor of dream doors. They soon stopped at Rotwood's. When they went in, they first encountered his actual dream. As Rose explained. Then they went further down in his subconscious and memories of his childhood. Towards the very end of their journey, they retrieved the test answers for Jake. A few seconds later, they ran into a Chimera, a mythical creature who the Greeks believed Hercules slayed. With both Rose and Jake together, they easily defeated it.

When Jake woke up the next morning, both his parents were in a really bad mood. Realizing this, he decided to skip breakfast and go to school where people are a little less 'hostel'.

When he got there, people weren't in a better mood either. When Rose told Jake that people had been saying that they've seen a creature that looked exactly like the Chimera, Jake knew he was in trouble. Now he, Rose, Trixie, and Spud have to figure out how to set things right.                                                                                           

Naturally, Jake turns to his grandfather, Luong Lao Shi for help.

Jake getting in trouble

After getting fussed out by Gramps, Fu Dog told them he could make an enchanted snare to trap the Chimera and put it in it's rightful place. All Jake and his friends had to do was sleep and meet Gramps in his dream and get the snare. Being that they couldn't stay at the shop due to loud noises, Spud suggests they go to the library. Once there, they easily drifted off.

Once again in the Dream-world, they spotted the Chimera right away. After pursuing it in Trixie's dream, Jake stopped them to make a “two-second” detour in Brad Morton's dream.

Where-as below in the gallery-you can see him as a ballerina. Naturally, Jake couldn't resist taking a picture. After that, he and his crew stopped at Grandpa’s dream to retrieve the snare.

With snare in hand, they heard the Chimera in Spud's dream. When they entered, the scenery looks a lot like Batman. Spud is struck with awe at the scene. “Whoa! I can't believe I don't remember any of this stuff!” Then he finds out he has his own butler. After the butler said, “There has been reports saying that the Chimera is in the warehouse district.” Spud then put's on his costume, and rushes out in the Spudmobile to save Spudoplis. With the help of Jake and his friends, of course.

When they arrived, Spud started blasting it with potatoes from his Spud-launcher. As he distracted it, Jake, who was in dragon form, opened up the snare. Just as the Chimera was about to be fully sucked in, Jake and his friends were woken up by Rotwood. With Jake awake, he released the Chimera back into Spudoplis. With Jake, Rose, and Trixie out of the Dream-world, it's up to Spud to face the Chimera, alone. At least for a little while.

Chimera

After Trixie threw a potato bomb out of the window and onto Rotwood's car, the perturbed conversation was cut short. Leaving them to get to the Dream-world and help Spud with the Chimera.

When they reentered, they saw Spud falling off a tall building. After he lands on a blow up mat, he saw he had a cut. At first he laughed it off, but then he fainted. Rose told Trixie to check on him while she and Jake go after the Chimera. Jake then changed into dragon form and started to open the snare, only to find that it was jammed. With the advantage of distraction, the Chimera jumps on him and sends the snare flying into the river by Rose.

Jake then realized they need tier the monster out before they can capture him. Rose again gave directions. She told Jake to go after the trap while she distracted the Chimera.

She decided to tier the beast by out running it. When she was running, she ran into her own dream door. After she went inside, she saw herself and the rest of the Huntsclan doing drills. Rose didn't have time to watch because the Chimera was almost upon her.

Meanwhile, Jake dove into the river and managed to retrieve the snare. As he was about to swim back up, a long octopus tentacle wrapped around him. As it pulled him, Spud came to the rescue in a submarine and chased the octopus away. Letting Jake swim back up for air.

Rose's parents

As Rose ran deeper into her subconscious, she hid behind a wall. The Chimera passed without knowing she was there. After she realized she was deep in her memories, she saw her parents and the day she was born, and how she was brought to the Huntsclan. After getting over the shock of this, did the Chimera see her and start to chase her again.

She ran quickly out of her dream and back into Spudoplis. There, she encountered a dead end. Just as she was about to fight, Jake swooped in and opened the snare, which in turn sucked the Chimera inside and imprisoned it.

The Chimera's capture

After returning the Chimera to Rotwood's dream, Jake and his friends woke up just as the professor returned from cleaning his car. He then dismissed them after he said, “Seeing Mr. Long failing my examination tomorrow will surely put me in a better mood.”

At school, Trixie said after she went into the Dream-world, it gave her the information she needed to ace biology. Jake realized that he didn't need the answers to the test, he already knew all the answers. Thanks to his trip to the Dream-world, he figured out that the the greatest scientific mind of modern time Rotwood was talking about was, non other than himself. With that said and done, Jake aced his test. Leaving a very baffled professor and a happy Jake. 

Rotwood baffled

                                                                                                                                                                             

Trivia

• On a "ten-second detour", Jake couldn't resist taking a peek in Brad's dream, in which that football player is a pretty ballerina (see gallery below). Having a good laugh of it, Jake took a picture of it on his cellphone camera.
• Spud has a hard time remembering his dreams, so he's amazed to learn he dreams of being a potato-themed superhero. According to Jake, the catchphrase "Tally-Ho" was part of the problem ("I don't think that'll catch on.")
• Trixie's visit in the Dreamscapes gives her an advantage as her dream of being a successful surgian lets her get closer to making that dream come true. She even likes the sound of being called "Dr. Trixie Carter".
• Mr. Rotwood was dumped by the love of his life for his "girly-man shoulders and pigskin smell".
• Rotwood's mother was a seemstress
• Rotwood has a car that he takes pride in, as he was very upset when somebody (unknown to him, Trixie) pelted it with a baked potato, though the thought of Jake failing helps set him in a better mood.
• When Jake, Rose, Trixie, and Spud eneter the dream-realm, behind Jake is a door that says 'Nick Filippi' on it. That's the director's name.
