Plot
Buzz wanders around nervously, until seeing Stone chaining himself to a tree. Buzz freaks out and tries to run away, but finds more trees with chains around them. He assumes the trees want to imprison him, so he uses his chainsaw to cut one down. This creates a domino effect that uproots all the other chained trees. Giggles comes falling out of her treehouse and splatters in the middle of Trixie's picnic mat.

An angry Trixie faces Buzz and casts a spell on him. Following the bright flash, Buzz realizes he has been turned into a tree. A woodpecker perches on one of his branches/arms and begins pecking him. Buzz is unable to do anything but scream as this occurs. The woodpecker soon moves into the hole it made, giving Buzz some fits of discomfort.

Stone is distraught at all the fallen trees victimized by Buzz's actions. He spots one last standing tree, oblivious to Trixie's spell. Buzz worries even more once Stone starts chaining himself around his trunk. The woodpecker then flies out of his mouth, causing him to spit out a few feathers. Stone lets out a sneeze when a feather lands on his nose.

Lumber soon comes along to chop the tree down. Buzz's fears reach a whole new level when he realizes the lumberjack bear's intent. Worse, he is incapable of running. As Stone and Lumber argue, a colony of termites crawls into Buzz's backside. This of course causes Buzz even more irritation. Suddenly, somebody starts cutting him with the chainsaw. Buzz's screams of pain go unheard by Stone and Lumber. Buzz finally falls and crushes the two. Arlo is revealed to be the one who cut him down, so as to reach the termites.

The spell wears off and Buzz turns back to normal, except without his lower torso. Then, to his surprise, two woodpecker chicks poke out of his eye sockets, as the woodpecker had previously laid eggs in him.
