Unfortunately, the Skipper loses again because Gilligan overfed their turtle on moss before the race. Mr. Howell takes Gilligan as a manservant which turns into a disaster because, as hard as he tries, Gilligan fouls up everything. The Skipper meanwhile is heartbroken without his "little buddy," but Gilligan convinces him to bet Mr. Howell again with his pocketknife as the wager. Howell agrees to the new race, but <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Mrs.%20Howell%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Mrs.%20Howell%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMrs.%20Howell%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-14680620445f609ef90f118" href="/wiki/Mrs._Howell" title="Mrs. Howell">Mrs. Howell</a> implores him to let the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Skipper%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Skipper%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSkipper%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-14680620445f609ef90f118" href="/wiki/Skipper" title="Skipper">Skipper</a> win.
