Plot
The episode starts with Coolio flying around in loops with Tiphi by his side. He closes his eyes and laughs, until he hears a scream and sees Tiphi being picked up by a badger. The screen cuts to Coolio knocking on Nibbles' door and getting pushed off of the doorsteps by Nibbles' teeth and both of them knocking on Grubbie's door, who follows them as well. Coolio discusses the plans to save Tiphi from the giant badger, Nibbles and Grubbie nodding in approval.

Nibbles creates a "weapon" (a stick on fire) but accidentally burns off his arm. Grubbie thinks of just asking the badger to give back Tiphi, but Coolio says that won't work. They finally think of something at the same time and run offscreen. Tiphi is seen in a dark brown hole with the badger surrounding her, blocking off the entrance. Suddenly, Coolio, Nibbles, and Grubbie appear with an apple, a replica doll of Tiphi, and a rock, respectively. Coolio tapes the apple to the doll, but also tapes it on himself accidentally. He screams as he pulls it off, but he pulls off his arms and bleeds to death. Nibbles tries the stick again but burns himself. The fire spreads to the badger, burning him to ashes.

Tiphi is picked up and is taken out of the hole by Grubbie, who smiles, knowing he saved an insect. Suddenly, Tiphi slips out of Grubbie's hand and rolls into a rock, literally shattering to pieces. The episode ends with Grubbie wondering where Tiphi went.
