'''Say it Ain't So Joe''' is the 23rd episode of ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]''. It aired on October 28, 2007 in English.

The [[Battle Brawlers|Brawlers]] decide to track down [[Joe Brown|Webmaster Joe]], thinking he is a spy for [[Masquerade]]. They find out that he is in the local hospital in Cure City, so they go there to find him. When they get there, [[Dan]] rushes into the elevator dropping [[Drago]] and getting separated from him. Later, a boy in hospital pajamas confronts Dan, giving him back Drago and revealing that he is Webmaster Joe. Dan quickly challenges Joe to a battle. To Dan's surprise, this was Joe's first Bakugan Brawl. Just when the battle is starting to get exciting, Joe suddenly faints and is taken back to his hospital room. When Joe wakes up he tells the Brawlers that he is not telling anything to Masquerade; confirming the information the Brawlers discovered on his computer. The Brawlers believed him and ask him to join them in their fight to stop Masquerade and [[Naga]] from destroying both [[Earth]] and [[Vestroia]].
