P.E.L.T.Skipper attempts to break his record on the obstacle course, but fails as he comes tenths slower than ever every time, worse than the last. Skipper decides to do P.E.L.T. to prove he is a leader. Meanwhile, Kowalski takes over as "Commander Kowalski" & begins using a ring binder of missions, which involve stuff such as saving King Julien from under the clock tower bell, cutting off the metal parts of the wall in Burt's habitat to free his trunk & freezing Marlene's pool to drain it (which Skipper observes while searching for Steps One, Two & Three of P.E.L.T.) Skipper however, believes he'd failed at the tasks & when he meets Kowalski & the others, he quits the team & requests Rico to smoke-bomb him. However, just as Kowalski answers Private's question on what happened, the three are caged & the Blue Hen grabs Kowalski's Freeze Ray & freezes Rico before he could regurgitate a stick of dynamite. She claims she'd set everything up, all starting with malfunctioning the stopwatch & then, putting Julien under the bell, tying Burt's trunk & doing something to Marlene's place to the point Skipper would leave & she'd capture them. Kowalski attempts to distract her with his swagger, but she says she won't be distracted again. She says she'd freeze the zoo & become the star attraction as she was the only one left, become famous for being famous & become the next senator for Delaware, which Private interjected that last time she'd planned to be president, but she claims she's being more realistic. She freezes Kowalski & Private & leaves to freeze the zoo after sending them back to their habitat, Skipper appears a minute after she leaves as he came back for his mug. Just as he's about to leave, he notices the other penguins are in ice cubes, he uncovers Private's face & Private tells him it was an ambush. Skipper goes out & attacks the Hen in the Lemur Habitat & cuts his way through every blast of Antarctic coldness in the freeze ray & manages to freeze the Hen. The other penguins spend their time recovering from hypothermia by the ice cubes in a large flat pan of hot water while Skipper congratulates himself, drinking fish coffee on top of the frozen poultry.
