Background[]
Season 3[]
In "Opossum in My Pocket", Chris and Martin activated Opossum Power to search through the Cypress Swamp for Chris' missing backpack and Jillybean via their sense of smell due to opossum eyesight not being the best. Once Chris found Gourmand's kitchen with the lost opossum joey, he proceeded to toss his juggled veggies at him as diversion before making off with Jillybean in his pouch. As Chris made his way back to the opossum den, Martin stayed behind with Aviva to assist and observe Jill and the joeys, before Chris was confronted and thieved by Gourmand who proceeded to stuff a boulder in his pouch to immobilize him. Chris, still weighed down by the boulder, struggled to make his way around the swamp, before observing Jill play dead during a coyote attack. After Aviva made a contraption to free Chris of his boulder, they made off to try and find Martin before his suit's DNA settings made him play dead just like a real opossum, but unfortunately, they were too late as once Martin stole Jillybean back from Gourmand, he was intimidated and dropped to the floor while Gourmand stole Jillybean once more. Once he recovered from it, Chris, Martin, and Aviva all headed to Gourmand's kitchen in order to finally take back both the opossum and backpack, but were first hindered by Gourmand's rattlesnake bag trap until they realized opossums had venom immunity and used that ability to walk across the snakes and carry both Aviva and Jillybean out, returning both things to where they belong.
