Pennies is the second half of the 4th episode in the series.

Plot synopsis
Phillip and D.D. must make the city to believe in itself again after Phillip cleans the pennies out of the park fountain, possibly un-wishing everyone's wishes.

Detailed Synopsis
Phillip emerges from his mom to discover the fountain isn't working, and takes it upon himself to fix it. D.D. slides into the park to find Phillip has removed all the pennies from the fountain in order to fix it, and explains they are actually peoples wishes. D.D. takes Phillip to the charity he donated the pennies to to reclaim the wishes, where she decides she can't take them back without guilt. As the park-goers discover what's happened Phillip discovers he's the only one who doesn't believe in wishes. He tried to convince the masses that their beliefs in wishing are actually just confirmation bias, which fails after D.D. falls doing a flip (after admitting she wished to be athletically gifted). D.D. is forced to call the Mayor to clean up Phillips mess, the Mayor asks the park-goers to do a group rewishing of all their wishes. Phillip refuses to make a wish and is chased by an angry mob. After losing the mob, he finds D.D. attempting to rewish for her athleticism. He explains to her that the reason he doesn't believe in wishes is that he once wished for a suntan, and it didn't come true. Phillip agree's to break a wishbone with D.D., which causes her to begin falling down a hill, he wishes for her athleticism back, and she is able to save herself from falling. The mob sees this and believes all they need is confidence. Phillip decides to keep secret from the rest of the world, and D.D., what he wished for.
