Summary[]
Spoiler warning! Warning! Following text contains plot details and may spoil the storyline. |
Milo tries to wake up a very sleepy and cranky Alfred. He and Camille showed up to go fishing like they planned, and Alfred looks to see that it is only 6:00 am. Milo was so excited that he could hardly wait, but Camille insists that Alfred needs time to wake up and get ready, telling Milo to calm down. It turns out that Milo wasn't even that excited about fishing- it was more or less the food he packed for it.
Eventually Alfred gets up and they head out to the lake when they find Mr. Remy putting up logs to barricade the path. They ask what is going on and he refuses to let them pass, accidentally revealing that he found an amazing discovery while trying to get them to leave. Milo tries to explain that they only came to do some fishing and should be allowed through, and Alfred asks Mr. Remy what this discovery of his was. Mr. Remy almost tells them, but he stops himself and forces them to leave.
The trio are disappointed until they overhear him bring up that he has to finish preparing for the Tree Expert who will be coming soon. With nothing better to do, Milo suggests they enjoy lunch, but Alfred believes they might still be able to go fishing, if they can determine what it was Mr. Remy is hiding from them.
Sneaking back to the location, the trio observe Mr. Remy until he leaves and attempt to sneak through. They realize he's starting to drift off to sleep, which would make things more complicated, so they try to force him to leave. First they try to lure him away with a sandwich Milo made, using a fishing rod to pull him in another direction. Milo is disappointed over having to waste the food he was anticipating for their goal, and they hurry to the past the blockade to discover a group of furry trees.
They curiously observe them and Milo takes a picture as Alfred remarks that the fur only reaches a certain height on each of them. Alfred goes on to take a sampling of the fur as Milo enjoys the remainder of lunch. Until they hear a noise nearby that alerts Mr. Remy to their direction, forcing them to run from the spot. Mr. Remy returns to find nothing but the lunch they accidentally left behind, much to Milo's distraught as he helps himself to it. Alfred and Camille are forced to keep him quiet as they observe him, which worsens when a bug stings Milo, then he ends up hurting himself moments later when the coast is clear.
The trio aren't able to get very far when Mr. Remy stops them, and he trips over a thick tree root chasing after them. They run all the way back to Hedgequarters to overlook what they have so far. But as this is going on, Milo appears to be really itchy. Camille and Alfred observe Milo as he desperately tries to make it stop, including rubbing his back against something. This inspires Alfred while they overlook the pictures again, and he notices how the furry trees start at one location and travel as far back as the lake. He then notices a hair on Milo's back after Camille snaps at him for scratching himself so much, and something dons on him.
The trio head back to speak to Mr. Remy when they find a crowd gathering around to listen to him explain his amazing discovery. Alfred points out that they have identified the trees so they shouldn't waste their time listening to him, then he asks to show Mr. Remy what he found. Mr. Remy agrees and he hears Alfred out to realize the trees aren't growing hair- it's actually hair that was rubbed on them by wet, itchy moose. The crowd prepares to disperse but Mr. Remy stops them, suggesting they cheer for Alfred for having deduced what was really going on. Just then, the Tree Expert shows up, and Mr. Remy and Alfred start to laugh.
