Lovebugs is the third episode of Season 5 of Big Mouth. It is the forty-fourth episode, overall.

Synopsis[]

Nick and Jessi get their own lovebugs, named Walter and Sonya, respectively, and start experiencing what it means to truly be in love.

Plot[]

Missy organizes an affinity group at the school, which Nick joins in order to impress Jessi. The order of business is to protest the school's outdated and offensive mascot, "the Scheming Gypsy." Ali convinces the others in the group that they should not be patient and protest the mascot at the wrestling meet the next day over Missy's protests. Nick gets a new creature, Walter the Love Bug, who convinces Nick that he is in love with Jessi. At Ali's house that night to make signs, the two seem to hit it off. At the wrestling meet that day, Andrew loses but boasts about his singlet emphasizing his sizable buttocks. No one in attendance notices the protest, so the group storms the match, only to get told off by attendees. During the protest, Jessi touches Nick's arm. Jay impresses another student Charles Lu with his "wrestling magic" and invites him to Panera to learn more with the Sorcerers, after which Charles and Jay wrestle before kissing. Andrew begins carb-loading to further fatten his butt; after eating too much clam chowder, he has diarrhea and tears his singlet in his rush to use the Panera toilet. Matthew starts acting irritable and paranoid to get Aiden to break up with him, succeeding to his dismay. At Jessi's father's apartment, Ali and Jessi are excited and talk, with Jessi revealing she has and uses Judd's shirt, before they decide to not follow Missy's patient approach and attempt to tear down the statue at the school, only managing to smash a crystal ball before being arrested. Later released by the police, Jessi is brought home and encounters Nick, who has been encouraged by Walter to make a "grand gesture." This gesture is a love song that only results in awkwardness and Jessi revealing she doesn't like him in the same way and Nick runs off in tears. Later, Ali appears outside Jessi's window, both excited about the day. Another love bug named Sonya lights up behind Jessi as she feels love for Ali.
