Pixie pledges herself to eternal goodness, and with a sacramental bite of Sweet- ie's "sweet tooth," joins the ranks of immortals. Debuting new threads, and a new signature weapon, the sugar rush has gifted "Sweet P" with the skill, agility, and drip of a ninja warrior. We get hard-boiled deets on the Peter Cottontail, his hopped-up sidekick Jack Rabbit's jellybean habit, and a super-charged monster truck - fueled by ice cream. Plus, delve deeper into Sweetie's mission statement, and the reveal of a speakeasy for the council of immortals. On the salty side, Sweetie's sworn enemy Bart Volgare and his evil crime syndicate K.Y.E. may think they've destroyed the sweetness, but in time, Sweetie and her Candy Vigilante will see to it that all rotten eggs get their just desserts!
