After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an article for this episode. This is the episode where Maya met a centipede named Hieronimus who was anxious like Max the earthworm from the eleventh episode and was full of self-doubt. The episode starts where Maya was sleeping on a flower, but she was woken up by Hieronimus' moans who didn't know what to do and asked if he could eat that rolypoly bug he found that it was already curled up into a ball or not and then, he counted his legs to answer his question if he could eat up the rolypoly, but two of his legs did not rise and then, Maya came to him to ask about his problems and that she told him that she had met some other centipedes before and he answered her that they're a big family as he belonged to the same family group as other centipedes and that he showed her the rolypoly he found, but when Maya gave a little puff it made the rolypoly go away and Hieronimus wasn't happy about it as he keep repeating himself if he could eat it or not and Maya asked him what was troubling him the most and he told her that he has rheumatism and she asked him what is it and he answered her that they are great pains, but after that, he walked to exercise himself if the pains in his legs passed and Maya curiously followed him if he could but in the end he tripped and fell down, but he didn't give up and continue walking, but this made Maya sleepy who decided to go back to the flower where she had slept earlier. In the next morning, Maya was flying around and saw Hieronimus doing exercises with his four hind legs on two flower roots, but again, he tripped and fell down at the end. Maya told him that it was a funny "game", but he told her that it wasn't really a game and he explained more about the pains that he have and told her to try a stick to do a test on all his legs and Maya agreed to do it by playing the stick on his legs like a xylophone and she found out that it was two of his legs that have rheumatism and she told him that he can do a lot to make his pain go away like cooling and heating his legs as an exercise that would cure his two sick legs in a river and Hieronimus did his effort, but he got too cold and too hot that he decided to give up by repeating himself if his legs get any better or not at the end. Then Maya decided to help him with another thing he could like playing music with the orchestra and she imagined that he could do it, but he answered her that he would do it otherwise and he imagined that he would fail in the end. But Maya understood that Hieronimus had his doubts and told her that the disease is not as easy to cure as she thought and that everything has two sides and Maya told him she knew that, but she also told him not to doubt himself so much which he agreed, but he asked her why she came again to him and she answered him that she is his friend which he asked her back why is she his friend and she answered him because she cares for him and likes him, but after that, she decided to leave for a while because she told him that she talked to him too much and flew around and met Willy who was wondering about the flower he found (which it was a bell-shaped flower). Maya asked him what is going on and he told her that the flower that he found doesn't have any nectar inside it which it surprised her when she has heard it from him where he tried to check the flower again and found nothing and some pollen dust fell on his face which made him cough to tears and she asked him if it is true that it doesn't have any nectar and then Willy asked her why she had never heard of nectarless flowers before that even Miss Cassandra hadn't yet taught about it at school which Maya finally understood. Then Willy himself started to doubt about that such flowers exists which it made Flip laugh about his question which he answered him that there are indeed nectarless flowers, but Willy told him that without nectar, a bee cannot go to the flower and that it will not be fertilized, but Flip had shown Maya and Willy that the wind can do as well as bees by pointing at the bell-shaped flower where the wind shakes it so that the pollen dust falls down to the soil to be fertilized and that not all flowers need any bee which Maya understood and agreed with what Flip had said about them and and she asked Willy if he agreed with what Flip said and he seems to agree by saying "right!" and Maya thanked Flip about the thing that she have learned about the nectarless flowers and Flip told her that she needs to thank Willy instead as he was the one who doubted about the existence of nectarless flowers and Willy asked if he had any doubts and Maya told Flip that she now understood Hieronimus and that it's not bad to have doubts and Flip told her that if they didn't have any doubts then how will they be able to learn new things in life which made Maya hesitate to go again to find Hieronimus what he is doing, but Willy asked her where she was going and she told him that she was going to Hieronimus and he jealously asked her who he was and she told him that he is a friend of hers who has rheumatism which Willy didn't understand and didn't know about rheumatism when Maya was already gone by this time. Then Willy asked Flip if he had heard what Maya said before she left and he answered him that he had, but Willy out of jealousy told him that Maya has a new friend and Flip told him that he shouldn't be jealous about someone who has rheumatism and gave him a tip to go find a flower full of nectar to get better and they left together at the end. Hieronimus continued to do his exercises when suddenly a mantis appeared that she wanted to eat him and tried to trick him with her tricks, but she failed and gave up and left regretting that she didn't manage to eat him in the end. When Maya found Hieronimus, he warned her that a bird (which it was a quail) was coming from behind him to eat him and he also told her that she should hide so the quail wouldn't catch her and eat her. The quail was chasing Hieronimus while trying to eat him, but fortunately, he found a rock to hide so the quail could not eat him and Maya had noticed that all of Hieronimus' legs were cured and she told him that he can walk with all his legs before the quail noticed her and went after her by trying to eat her too and Hieronimus have found out that his two sick legs were cured and he started running happily to make the quail to chase after him and he hid in the rock again so that the quail could not eat him and he told Maya how all his legs are fine that at last the quail gave up and it flew away which after that, Maya was very happy that she congratulated him at the end. Then Flip and Willy went to see what Maya was doing and they found her where she did a test on all of Hieronimus' legs with the stick in her hand and found out that both of Hieronimus' sick legs had indeed been cured that both of them were rejoiced at the end. Flip was also very happy when he found out that Hieronimus' sick legs had been cured, but Willy was still so jealous of him and he even told Willy that it was amazing that Maya can play on Hieronimus' legs, but he didn't answer him because he was still jealous of Hieronimus who has become Maya's new friend and the episode ends where Flip and Willy were watching Maya "playing" on Hieronimus' legs. Here are the ranking results that I have gotten for each character who have appeared in the episode:

4. Flip (2 minutes, 21 seconds)
Despite he made it to the top 3 and got into the second place in the previous episode, unfortunately, he fell out of the top 3 and got into the last place as there are no other important characters who have appeared in the episode, but don't worry, he will be ranked higher in the future episodes like the ones that focused on him.

3. Willy (3 minutes, 4 seconds)
Once again, Willy have managed to get some screen time and made it to the top 3 by making it to 3 minutes and got into the third place and earned his fifth bronze medal, but he is a bit upset that he keep earning more bronze medals than silver or gold medals and that Hieronimus have beaten him in terms of screen time which you will find out how that centipede was ranked in the episode.

2. Maya (9 minutes, 22 seconds)
Now this is something that will surprise you a bit, but yes, she have fallen out of the first place for once again despite she got a lot of screen time and got into the second place and earned her fourth silver medal, but she didn't mind losing to another friend that she had met 'cause she helped him to cure his rheumatism, so that's why.

1. Hieronimus (12 minutes, 14 seconds)
And of course, it was Hieronimus who have managed to get the most screen time out of all characters 'cause he had exercised so much to cure his legs with help from Maya and got into the first place and earning his first and (possible) only gold medal as he didn't get so much screen time in the other episodes he appeared in, but I'm very glad that he made it to the top for his debut episode though.

And that's all of the results that I got from this episode and I'm planning to test the screen time of characters in the eighteenth episode which is the one where Maya met a frog and is the tenth episode of the European version which I will explain more about that episode in the article that I will make soon.
