"Love Ed" is the second segment of the twenty-seventh episode of the second season of Kiff. It is the one-hundred-eighteenth segment overall.

Synopsis

Kiff and Barry give Ed tips for wooing Helen, who doesn't know he exists.

Plot

Helen is grocery shopping at Slim Pickins with Kiff and Barry, whom she has roped into helping her with her errands by making it a big part of their grades. There, Kiff and Barry are surprised to see Ed, as he was previously banished from town for scamming Table Town Middle School. While Helen is busy watching KlipKlop videos of herself on her phone, Kiff and Barry sneak off to confront Ed, assuming he is planning another scam. However, Ed, who is browsing for greeting cards, claims to be a changed man and says he is there because he has fallen in love with Helen. Although repulsed, Kiff and Barry decide to help Ed woo Helen, figuring that Helen having a boyfriend means that she will have somebody else to do her errands.

Assisted by Kiff and Barry, Ed follows Helen around Table Town and performs various romantic gestures for her, but she overlooks all of them. Later, while Helen is walking down the street, Kiff, Barry, and Ed hide in a nearby bush. As a last resort, Kiff and Barry simply push Ed out of the bush into Helen's way so that he can directly confess his feelings for her. Helen, who has apparently already forgotten who Ed is and has to be reminded about their previous run-in, flatly rejects him. However, after Ed performs a romantic, magic-themed ballad, Helen is moved into accepting his invitation to dinner.

That night at Café Penguino, Ed and Helen's date starts off well, but things quickly go south when Helen refuses to share her spaghetti with Ed, who insists that lovers should share everything with each other. Ed becomes emotional and abandons the date, loudly announcing that he will take the next tram out of town and never return. Kiff, Barry, and Helen rush to the tram station, but they just barely miss Ed's tram. However, Kiff and Barry are able to convince Cherry Berry, a self-described "hopeless romantic", to reroute Ed's tram back to the station so that Helen can talk things over with him. Helen gives Ed the key "to her heart... slash apartment" and apologizes for not sharing her spaghetti with him earlier. She tells him to go ahead to the apartment while she buys spaghetti meals for the both of them.

On the way back to the apartment, Helen thanks Kiff and Barry and says that Ed will be helping her with her shopping from now on, which the duo are pleased to hear. Upon returning to the apartment, however, they find that Helen's "junk trunk" of magical valuables has been ransacked and Ed is nowhere in sight. Attached to the trunk, they find a note from Ed in which he admits to having scammed Helen the entire time so that he could steal from her trunk – specifically one item, a magical pair of multi-pocket shorts known as the "Shorts of Doogadu", which Helen previously posted a KlipKlop video of herself wearing. Meanwhile, Ed puts on the shorts and goes on a spree of thefts around Table Town, using the shorts' many pockets to hold all his stolen items.

Helen is seemingly heartbroken by Ed's betrayal, but her crying then turns into laughter. She reveals that she was never in love with Ed and was always aware that he was scamming her, and that she in fact posted the KlipKlop video in the first place knowing that Ed would come across the video and be unable to resist stealing the shorts. Helen then summons back the shorts, whose pockets are still full of Ed's things, and takes a wallet out of the shorts, her revenge complete.

Now wearing a cardboard box, Ed returns to the tram station. As all his things were in the shorts, he can neither pay the fare to take a tram back home nor use his wand to fly home. Ed tries to charm Cherry into letting him board a tram for free, but she tells him she is married and walks away.
