Charlie teaches Bumblebee how to hide.
Synopsis
While in the park, Charlie Watson begins asking Bumblebee questions about where he came from or if he remembers anything, but he is unable to answer. Charlie wonders if he could perhaps be a time traveler or alien. Before she can think further, the two notice approaching humans. Charlie tells Bumblebee to hide himself while she and Conan act natural. Once the couple passes, she looks over to see Bumblebee crouched behind a bench. Charlie reminds him he could have just transformed and decides he should practice.
Bumblebee at first practices his transforming by imitating a statue, but after a reminder from Charlie, he changes into a car instead. However, Charlie and Conan get hurt due to Bumblebee transforming while they are too close, annoying them. Bumblebee instead tries transforming while jumping, only to land on a park bench and trash can, further irritating Charlie and Conan. The impact jostles part of Bumblebee's frame off, and a holographic projector displays a message from another robot, with Charlie asking who it is.

Notes
Real-world references
- Bumblebee's first attempt at transformation has him imitate Rodin's The Thinker.
Trivia
- Much like the previous episode, this episode slightly changes Bumblebee's events to not spoil the film:
- Bumblebee's attempt to hide behind the bench mimics his hiding behind a small pile of sand on the beach in the film. Similarly, Charlie getting hit by Bumblebee due to her proximity echoes the film, where she gets sprayed with sand due to standing too close.
- Rather than being accidentally activated while Charlie attempts to fix Bumblebee in the forest, Optimus's message is instead triggered by the shock of Bumblebee's landing.
- The episode was originally uploaded to Bumblebee Japan's Twitter page and Paramount Pictures Japan's YouTube page, though the latter video was taken down.
