Through an almost unreal level of retconning, the show manages to avoid being canceled after the swimsuit episode, but the threat remains.  A "bath episode" is proposed as a way to counter this threat.  As things get more desperate, tempers will flare and the team will fall apart... is what my horoscope said today.
This is a nice bath.
Angenehmes Bad, oder?
Que c’est agréable !
Che bel bagnetto.
Que delícia de banho.
