Summary[]

Spoiler warning!
Warning! Following text contains plot details and may spoil the storyline.

Alfred and Camille arrive at Milo's house to head to school together. Milo claims he feels unwell and they are concerned, until Alfred happens to spot a few books about witches, leading Milo to reveal that he saw a real one. He was on his way home last night after fishing and was walking by Mr. Russard's home when burst from his home and swung around his broom. Milo then saw a bunch of glowing eyes appear, and he was so frightened that he ran home.

Alfred and Camille express doubt and Milo gets frustrated, then asks for them to explain what he saw. They brush him off and tell him to get ready for school to avoid being late, and after arriving they discover it's been cancelled today. Cynthia, who happened to still be there, explains that Mr. Russard never showed up. With a free day, Camille and Alfred decide to humor Milo by paying Mr. Russard's place a visit. Camille happens to spot something shiny, but when she gets closer to it she gets snagged by a fishing lure and becomes entangled within a net. She yells out for help and tells off Milo when he reveals it was his stuff that he dropped last night.

Suddenly, Edgar jumps out and prepares to attack the trio, until he realizes it's just Alfred and his friends. He too saw the witch Milo claims he saw, and he shows them a picture that he took. Alfred then suggests they talk to Mr. Russard directly for answers, and Milo becomes anxious. Alfred asks Camille to stay with him then, and he approaches the front door, but he gets no response after knocking on it. The trio quietly walk around his home to find his broom, and they prepare to go when Mr. Russard appears, and seeing their concern he invites them inside.

Mr. Russard explains that he heard a strange sound and came outside to investigate, but every time he tried to follow it he found himself by the river. It's then Alfred spots his broken watch and sees what time it was stopped at, and Mr. Russard mentions that it broke when he fell the other day, having been caught off-guard by something. With nothing left to question for the time being, the group take off to resume clue hunting. They go on to confirm their Teacher's story but Camille realizes that Milo is being unhelpful. Before he can express himself, he suddenly starts to panic seeing the glowing green eyes again.

He falls into the river and his friends look around the spot, but all they can find are several tiny beads on the ground. Alfred remarks that this is a clue and they return to Hedgequarters to piece together what they have thus far. Alfred believes the beads they found are not actual beads, but something else, and he puts some under his telescope to deduce they are actually insect eggs.

With that, he gathers their classmates and brings everyone back to Mr. Russard's place, where he reveals to them and his teacher that the "eyes" are actually fireflies. They come out when it gets late in the day and their glowing is used to attract others. Everyone watches in surprise as they are surrounded by the beautiful glow of the fireflies, no longer fearful of any witches as Mr. Russard plays music for them.

Goofs[]

  • During the entire flashback Milo's bangs are solid colored until he falls down. It also happens:
    • While drying his bangs.
    • When he tells Camille to look into the telescope.
    • When he tells them to look at the egg.
  • Although Milo was shown falling into the puddle, he only has splotches covering his shirt. But most of him should have been wet.
  • Cynthia claims she was in the middle of getting her nails done, but she lacks visible nails.
  • Camille's mouth vanishes momentarily when she gets caught in the net.
  • Right before Milo gets the fishing rod with garlic, the "green eyes" in the image are different.
  • Milo's garlic necklace vanished after Alfred pulls him from the water. Granted, it could've slipped off.
    • Also notice that when he pulled it out the first time, each piece of garlic was connected. But throughout the episode, it alters between this and visible string between each one.
  • As Alfred tells Mr. Russard that everything is fine, Alfred's arm fur is visible, making it look like he doesn't have on his white long-sleeved top on.
  • As Milo is watching Mr. Russard in the flashback nothing is actually visible. The "green eyes" appear after he mentions them.
  • Mr. Russard said that it will be getting dark soon as it is nightfall, but when looking at the scenery it's still daytime.
  • Before Milo tells Alfred and Camille of what he saw, the shoulders of his shirt lack the lighter yellow coloring.
  • When Milo states he saw the "eyes" move, part of his right eyebrow is missing.
