This is the moral heart of Part 4. Corky is immediately swarmed by visions of fairies, floating hot dogs, and talking dolphins. He doesn't turn evil; he has a nervous breakdown out of sheer joy, realizing he wasted his life being miserable. Crocker, seeing the fairies, screams "FAIRY GODPARENTS!" and is dragged off by camp nurses.
