Albert's Ailment

Albert's Ailment is the 6th episode of the second season of The Dreamstone (and the 19th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 26th of February 1992.

Synopsis
Urpgor invented a teleporter to steal the Dreamstone in a blink of an eye, attempting a test run using Blob's men. Meanwhile, the Noops prepare for the Dream Maker's birthday, however Albert is showing odd symptoms. The Urpneys successfully teleported to the Land Of Dreams, hiding in a large cake like box in a shop as the Noops approached, fetching as a surprise for the Dream Maker and hiding it in the tower. The Urpneys use this opportunity to steal the Dreamstone and teleport back to Viltheed.

Wildit inspects Albert, coming to the conclusion he has a rare disease, and the only cure to be found is a speckled yellow mushroom that grows only in Viltheed. They arrive just in time to overhear Blob arrive gloating of his success to Urpgor. The heroes ambush the Urpneys to get the stone back, but are overpowered and locked in a cell while Blob and Urpgor present the stone to Zordrak, who demands it be destroyed immediately.

As Urpgor prepared an elaborate machine to pulverize the stone, Albert managed to free the others after being cured by a mushroom conveniently growing inside the cell's pit, and arrived in time to snatch the stone from the pulverizer. As the machine malfunctions, the heroes back into the teleporters and arrive back in the Land of Dreams in time for the party. Meanwhile Frizz and Nug get another nasty surprise in the form of the heroes' leaves and globes, which have taken a life of their own...

Trivia

 * This episode marks the second time Zordrak had his evil claws on The Dreamstone.
 * This is the final episode to feature a vocalized rendition of "The War Song Of The Urpneys".
 * Zordrak is uncharacteristically moody (even for him) in this episode, demonstrating no enthusiasm about getting the Dreamstone, lashing out on Urpgor for perfectly working plan and did not praising Blob for his success (which he done every other occasion).

Goofs

 * Frizz has Nug's hair color when jumping and pointing during the scuffle with the heroes.
 * A frame overlap error occurs when Urpgor waits for the pulverizer to crush the test rock.
