Charlie plays a joke on Matilda, replacing her chocolate-flavored milk for instant coffee. Matilda spends the night awake, and due to her power, dawn never comes. In the face of this strange event, Curlybeard, Bob, and Felicia think it's a zombie apocalypse, and seek refuge in a makeshift bunker in the yard. Meanwhile, Charlie and Matilda have fun in the town "by night", doing all the things they've always wanted to do but haven't been able to do until now, because children like them can't go out alone at night. The fun comes to an end when they get to the forest. Here, they find out that the trees are dying because without sun, they are unable to photosynthesize and sooner or later they will die. If the trees die, all humans die too, since no one will produce oxygen. In order to counteract Matilda's power, they have to make her sleep no matter what... and quickly!

Charlie and Matilda help Tropecio in his vegetable garden. When they can't find water to irrigate it, Charlie suggests Matilda spits on the seeds. She does, and due to her power, a tuber comes to life when Matilda's saliva touches it, turning it into a Frankenstein-like being. Charlie and Matilda decide to civilize this "mutant potato", and along with Curlybeard and Mortimer teach him to speak, how to behave at the table, and even give him a name: "Mr Papardelli". Mr Papardelli is quickly accepted by the whole town, but everything changes once he realizes that people eat potatoes. He feels like a freak and rebels against his creator: Matilda. But Charlie comes up with an idea, and using Matilda's power, creates a "Mrs Papardelli", who manages to calm the wrath of Mr Papardelli's.
