Silent Butt Deadly is the 59th episode of the series and the 5th episode of the third season. It aired on October 14, 2007, in Canada on Teletoon and December 2, 2008, in the United States on Cartoon Network.

After the group tags along with Nikki and Jonesy against their will when they go on a date, Nikki and Jonesy have a date at Jonesy's house that ends when Nikki accidentally wrecks Jonesy's bathroom. Meanwhile, Jude starts a secret relationship.

Main Plot
Jonesy and Nikki are on a date at the Gigantoplex when their friends arrive and sit behind them. Soon, they cause chaos in the theater, and the whole group gets out, annoying Nikki and Jonesy. However, when they figure out that neither of them invited the rest of the group, they take off while the rest of the group is in the bathrooms, and soon are having dinner at El Sporto's. Their friends find them there, and squeeze in, which annoys the couple and causes them to take off. When Caitlin suggests that they should make plans for the next night, Nikki irritably points out that she and Jonesy were attempting to go on a two-person date, rather than a group outing.

Their friends are surprised to hear this, and the next day they make plans to go off and do things on their own while Jonesy and Nikki watch a movie at Jonesy's house. To help them with this, Jonesy procures a romantic movie from Wayne, and when the two arrive at Jonesy's place they're ready to watch it. Unfortunately for them, Jonesy's younger brothers are hogging the downstairs couch.

Nikki proposes an alternate solution: she and Jonesy can watch in his room. Jonesy agreed, and soon the movie is playing. When Nikki leans in for a kiss, however, her stomach moans, and she realizes she has to use the bathroom. To minimize embarrassment, she first heads downstairs to try and use the downstairs bathroom, but since Jonesy's stepmother is taking a bath, she has to use the bathroom right next to Jonesy's room.

Once inside, things go wrong for her. First, the door refuses to close. Then, she has excessively loud flatulence that her boyfriend hears while using the toilet. Finally, when she's about to flush, the door swings open again, causing her to get up and rush over to close it. When she does so, she flushes but leaves toilet paper hanging into the toilet, which swiftly eats the roll and clogs. This causes Nikki to panic, and she calls her friends for help. Caitlin is the only one available to help at the moment, though, and her advice is simply makeup tips so that Nikki will look good when she exits the bathroom. Soon, however, Nikki gets passed on to Jen, who offers her instructions that are unfortunately too little too late, as Nikki ends up breaking the toilet, flooding the bathroom, and running away in tears when Jonesy opens the door on the scene. To top it off, Jonesy accidentally falls into the used toilet water.

The next day, Jonesy and Nikki are shaken by what transpired. While Nikki is worried that Jonesy will dump her, Jonesy finds himself unable to contemplate usage of bathrooms–a definite drawback given that his job is that of a bathroom attendant at Soft Rock Café. After being fired, Jonesy finds his way to Underground Video, where Wayne questions him on how the movie was. When Jonesy is responds that he didn't finish it, Wayne is shocked and offended–until Jonesy tells him what happened. Upon hearing this, Wayne reveals to Jonesy that he can never go back, as he now knows how disgusting women can be.

Jonesy doesn't want to believe that this is true, but can't shake the feeling Wayne could be right. When Wyatt encourages his friend to talk to Nikki, Jonesy decides to do so but chickens out at the last minute and instead of talking to her face-to-face has an awkward phone conversation where nothing gets resolved. Soon, the two are avoiding each other, and Jonesy admits to his friends that he's afraid that Wayne might be right. His funk continues until Jen points out that if Jonesy continues on the same way, he might end up just like Wayne.

This convinces Jonesy to get back together with Nikki, and he rushes over to the Khaki Barn. There, he runs in and plants a deep kiss on his girlfriend before breaking the kiss and burping long and loud. After doing this, he tells Nikki that she puts up with him despite him being gross all the time, so he's going to be perfectly okay with her being gross once, and they get back together.

Sub-Plot: Jude's Secret Girlfriend
Jude is having a good day: his friends are fun, he got free nachos courtesy of Jonesy and Nikki's ruined date, and he has a beautiful secret girlfriend who likes to meet him in hiding places around the mall. Unfortunately for him, he's not very good at keeping secrets, and when Caitlin pressures him to tell her, he eventually gives in and reveals that he's secretly dating Melinda Wilson. Upon hearing this, Caitlin spreads the information to all of his friends despite his protestations.

When Jen finds out, she advises Jude to issue an ultimatum to Melinda, as she believes Jude would be happier if he could express his affection in public. Jude agrees with this sentiment, but when he tries to get Melinda to go along, she refuses. Eventually, though, he comes up with a solution, and invites Melinda to meet him in an air vent. When she does, he farts to stink up the vent under the logic that if she truly loves him, she'll stay through the fumes. Melinda does not, and Jude breaks up with her, as he knows they wouldn't truly stay together.

Trivia
Reason for firing: The incident regarding Nikki's accident in the bathroom hit Jonesy's sore spot, making him prevent the customers from using the bathrooms.
 * Jonesy's job: Soft Rock Café's bathroom attendant

Errors

 * Jen gets a high score playing the Space Annihilator game. However, in the episode "Jonesy's Low Mojo", Jonesy (and later Nelson) was getting and making new high scores, all of which approximately took four hours to set. However, it was also the only game in the arcade, as Jonesy broke it and there were no replacements.
 * Following Nikki's bathroom incident, Jonesy never returns her phone to her.
 * Melinda hides Jude from two people walking by, which implies that she thinks of them as her peers. However, the couple are the "mature couple" that Wyatt and Caitlin followed around in "The (Almost) Graduate," and there they were implied to be in their late twenties or early thirties.
 * However, Melinda did mention that she was uncomfortable with "anyone" seeing her and Jude together.

Episode connections

 * This episode marks the third instance of Caitlin betraying her friends. The first instance was in the episode "Pillow Talk", where she tells her friends' embarrassing secrets to her boyfriend Dustin, who later reveals them as a result of him being hypnotized. The second was in the episode "The Journal", where she, along with Jonesy, Nikki, and Wyatt (sans Jude), reads Jen's most personal secrets out loud.
 * Jonesy gets hired again at Soft Rock Café in this episode. He was previously employed in the season 2 episode "Over Exposed."
 * Jude gifts Melinda a teddy bear that looks like Jingles. Appearance-wise, it is the same bear Jen has as shown in the episode "The Journal."
 * The arcade game Space Annihilator first appeared in the episode "Jonesy's Low Mojo."
 * The music that Jonesy puts on in his room is the same music that was heard at The Party Lime, from the episode "A Lime to Party."

Cultural references

 * The film name Tears on my Untamed Heart at Sunrise is a play on the 1993 romantic comedy Untamed Heart.
 * During the scene in the theater lobby, a piece of Darth Vader's theme (The Imperial March) can be heard in the background.
