Plot
The episode begins with Mina reading a math book while her friends play games with bubbles and Dodos. While watching the others play, Mina realizes she doesn't understand what is so fun about the games. Goomo answers her rhetorical question by explaining that they're "maximum funness." Mina, determined to show the others her idea of "maximum funness," brainstorms ideas for fun things to do, but can't come up with anything...until it hits her in the most literal way. A book falls on Mina's foot and opens up to a page about a great party. Mina decides to use the book as inspiration and throw a big party for all her friends.

It's time for the party to begin, and Mina's friends enter. They are less than impressed when they enter to just see a few party decorations coupled with Mina depicted on the big screen in her home, awkwardly stroking a balloon. Once everyone is settled into the house, Mina explains what will happen at the party. The kids are excited, but once again, their expectations are ruined when Mina is overly strict about the activities. She blends a "party juice" made of vegetables and fish that makes their stomachs churn, won't let Goomo eat any snacks unless he rates the food's color and texture, and contorts everyone into awkward, painful poses during a simple game of Freeze Dance. Mina is the only one enjoying the party.

Goomo suggests that Mina should check the Fun-O-Meter, which she constructed to rate the level of fun at the party, to see if they've achieved "maximum funness" yet. The Fun-O-Meter is at red - zero fun. Bello tries to tell Mina that she's been doing something wrong, but Mina doesn't realize it's because she's been overly-controlling and strict. She assumes that she needs to think of even more fun activities, so she gives her friends 30 minutes to complete connect-the-dots sheets. While Mina is gone, the others do what they want - they dance to music and make paper airplanes out of their sheets. When Mina returns, she is surprised that nobody did what she wanted them to. Bello explains to Mina that fun can't be measured, forced, or controlled - it just happens. Mina realizes where she went wrong and joins in on everyone else's idea of fun - she dances to the music and has a good time with everybody.

Songs
I Love You (You're My Friend) - used as the instrumental montage song Don't Get Angry - used as the vocal ending song
