Peg's hat shrunk in the dryer! Peg and Cat go to the mall to replace it.
When Peg's hat shrinks in the dryer, Peg and Cat look for a new one at the mall - but nothing in Mac's store fits! If Peg can't find a hat, maybe she can find a hat alternative. Mac assembles Team Mellon, and they travel through time looking for things to put on Peg's head. Baby T-rex's egg is too fragile, and the Christmas presents are shaped all wrong. Will Peg ever find a hat that's just right?

- Not if I have anything to say about it!
Team Melon -- assemble!
(trumpets playing) I'm Captain Mac, leader of Team Melon, and sworn champion of uniquely-headed individuals such as yourself!
- I am not even seeing this!
- Peg, I was once like you: a tiny kid with a giant, bulbous head.
- Hey!
- My head was so big that NASA mistook it for a planet.
- We've discovered a new planet!
- That's just some kid with a big head.
- That's huge!
- I can hear you!
- Oh, sorry.
- Anyway, just like you, I realized that no normal hat would ever fit me.
- So what should I do?
- You need to find hat alternatives: things that are not hats, but which you can wear as if they were.
♪♪ Anything can be a hat, from shoeboxes to boots ♪ ♪ Appearances don't matter, only... attributes ♪ - Huh.
I guess that's true.
- ♪ Donner needs a hat that's tall to fit his antlers right ♪ ♪ But Baby T-Rex values length over height ♪ - Height standing up is the same as length lying down!
- But they're wearing garbage on their heads!
- ♪ So what if something's stinky or a style that you don't love?
♪ ♪ What matters is it fits your head like a glove ♪♪ - So you're saying I should wear garbage on my head?
- Uh-uh-uh!
Not garbage -- hat alternatives!
Does it look like Donner's wearing garbage on his head?
♪♪♪ - Finding a hat alternative is my only hope!
Let's do it!
- Alright!
- Rah rah!
- I know just where to start!
Put your heads together...
TEAM MELON TIME WARP!
♪♪♪ - (Cat): Ow.
- The prehistoric valley?
- Yup.
Baby T-Rex, show her!
- Rah!
- (Cat): Isn't that the egg you hatched from?
- The very same!
Go ahead, Peg.
Try it on.
- ♪♪ It fits on my head, so the size is right ♪ ♪ The weight is too Nice and light ♪ - I think you've found your hat alternative, Egg!
I mean Peg!
- I think you have an eggshell on your head.
- ♪ I can dance and jump and still feel agile ♪ - Oh, no, it broke!
- ♪ It was just too fragile ♪♪ My old hat would have never shattered.
I need something sturdier, Mac.
(Donner grunting) - Donner's got an idea!
TEAM MELON TIME WARP!
♪♪♪ - (Cat): Ow.
- The North Pole?
We're at Santa's Workshop!
- With its lovely gift boxes.
Holiday hat alternatives!
- ♪ Too square, too spherical - This'll take a Christmas miracle ♪ - ♪ Too small, too roomy ♪ ♪ Too tacky and perfume-y ♪ - ♪ I'm hearing lots of attributes ♪ ♪ But none that fit the bill I've got one more idea ♪ ♪ If this don't work, then nothing will ♪♪ - We're back at the hat store!
Is there one more special hat that you want me to try?
- Uh, in a manner of speaking... - This is a mop bucket.
- But it fits!
Almost.
Your head is quite wide.
Still, it's a great height.
Plus it's good for drumming.
♪♪♪ ♪♪ Hey guess what?
I'm tapping on your head ♪ ♪ Tonight ♪♪ - Mac, I appreciate your help, but this isn't gonna work.
- You're right, I shoulda rinsed it out first.
Gimme a sec!
- What am I gonna do?
My head has the wrong attributes for every hat or hat alternative known to man!
Or dinosaur!
Or reindeer!
I'll never find a hat that fits!
