Later that afternoon, Flippy practices his jousting in the courtyard against a dummy jouster Handy made. Handy is peddling the dummy while Grin is helping Handy with the hand devices due to Handy's lack of hands. PePe and Disco Bear give Flippy a few pointers to guide him safely. The Winkster and Prince Bill tell Flippy to focus. Flippy heads to the dummy but misses and stabs Disco Bear in the eye with the lance killing him. PePe is startled by this and does a face palm.
