The Rescue Team is drawn into the woods to solve the mystery of what's making the Griffin Spruces fall.
Synopsis
[edit]
Chief, Cody, Chase, and Boulder walk through the woods, discussing the old riddle of the tree falling and whether it makes a sound. They're actually there to find why the trees have been falling down, though Boulder's attention is caught by some strange flowers. They hear the sound of a chainsaw and find Milo sawing at a tree, but as it turns out, he's just carving sculptures out of already-fallen trees. Cody spots more of the flowers, but as he goes to pick them, a tree starts to fall. Luckily Boulder manages to catch it before it flattens the boy. They take samples of both tree bark and the flowers back to the firehouse.
Graham sets about trying to identify the flower, while Kade attempts to write a story as part of his application for a web seminar, though he isn't having much luck. Graham comes up blank on the flower, but Cody finds it in Griffin Rock Tales and Legends, a book which identifies the species as the "Northern Red Fairy Bell", which is supposedly used by fairies. Blades asks if this is a real thing, but the others tell him it's merely a fable. Chase relates a Cybertronian fable which ends with the characters being eaten by giant space monsters — as it turns out most Cybertronian fables end that way. Dani gets a call from Taylor who has accidentally locked himself in the old reservoir tower, and heads off with Blades to help. Meanwhile, Graham has determined that the trees are falling over because they're being killed by disease. While they're discussing going to take a look, Cody gets a call from Frankie who invites him to help make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander. As it's dangerous for Cody to go alone, Heatwave and Kade are volunteered to go too.
The three groups head into the woods, but Frankie's group find Mrs. Neederlander's cabin deserted. They find animal tracks leading away as well as footprints, and start following. They soon find more of the Fairy Bells, and then realize they've lost their way. Frankie reveals she's been making a trail of crackers, however the birds have been eating them. Meanwhile, Blades discovers things are rocky between Dani and Taylor. They find Taylor himself, though Dani refuses to talk to him, and Blades helps him down from the tower. When Taylor says he wanted to take some pictures before leaving the island, Dani does not react well. Chief, Chase, Boulder and Graham aren't having luck finding the fallen trees, and Boulder theorizes that fairies are behind it. They find themselves swiftly getting lost.
Frankie's group hear cat noises and head into a cave where they find Mrs. Neederlander and Mister Pettypaws. As they go to leave the cave, trees fall and block the entrance, but Heatwave uses his dino mode to clear a path. Dani's group also realize they're lost.

Real-world references
[edit]- There are numerous references to fairy tales:
- Cody names Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Hansel and Gretel as examples of fairy tales.
- In an obvious nod to Little Red Riding Hood, Frankie sports a red hoodie while carrying a basket on a hike to Mrs. Neederlander's cabin in the woods.
- Kade makes reference to Goldilocks and the Three Bears as he tests Mrs. Neederlander's oatmeal.
- The idea of a wolf visiting Mrs. Neederlander is probably also from Red Riding Hood.
- Frankie leaving a trail of crackers is a reference to Hansel and Gretel.
- Taylor stuck in the tower is a reference to Rapunzel.
- The idea of Taylor being turned into a frog and requiring a kiss to turn back is from The Frog Prince.
