Summary[]

A Galumphalot frightens Orange during a blackout at Berry Bitty City. While waiting for the lights to come back on, her friends attempt to prove to her that it isn't real.

Episode Review[]

Blueberry is telling a scary story to the baby Berrykins about the Galumphalot but instead of scaring them, they simply laugh it off as Orange comes by to pick up something from the Cafe. Strawberry, who was making said thing suggests she sticks around for the story but Orange hesitates before leaving quickly.

Later that night, the girls are at Lemon's salon, having a special hair party until all of the power in town goes out. Orange is in the middle of a panic attack while Strawberry believes she may

know what the problem is. So she heads out to the Berry Works in hopes of investigating what may have happened. They realize there must be an error in one of the sections and Mr. Longface comes to help the Berrykins.

At the salon, Blueberry thinks they should go outside to see if they can help with anything. But Orange is too frightened and tries to cover it as Lemon comforts her. Everyone finds it strange since Orange usually isn't afraid of anything, but she goes on to mention it was Blueberry's story she had been telling the baby Berrykins that scared her.  Blueberry apologies and tries to tell her it's not real, since it came from her Fiction section but Orange doesn't buy it and refuses to leave. Raspberry tries to assure that its not there, considering she's been in the dark a lot of the time and has yet to see one, and Blueberry keeps claiming it to be silly.

Soon hearing a loud, rusty sound it's revealed to be a Berrykin with a giant screwdriver trying to solve the problem. The noise soon comes to a stop as Blueberry is still trying to assure the girls that nothing is wrong when a new sound begins.

Back at the Works, Mr. Longface suggests they bring in the big

bolt remover but still nothing works. The girls begin to think the Galumphalot is approaching so they all hide.

At the works, Strawberry arrives and asks about the issue. Mr. Longface claims they will need to remove the entire thing, then rebuild it but she mentions they may be able to do it on their own instead, but seeing how sad he looks she tells him to go and inform everyone that the power will be out for just a bit longer. After he leaves, the Berrykins quickly realize it's just a segment that needs to be fixed and upon opening it, they pull out a strawberry, which had been apparently jamming the works.

Back at the salon, the power is still out due to the light switch being down when Raspberry ask if the Galumphalot plans to come there next when Plum mentions it may be hungry, and Orange is worried that it might be hungry for food that tastes like them. However, Blueberry scoffs at the very idea, stating she's never read anything that said Galumphalots eat food that tastes like them, but then gets scared when she realizes that she's also never read anything that said Galumphalots DON'T eat food that tastes like them. Outside a trap suddenly falls down on poor Mr. LongFace. Lemon mentions that it came from Orange's store. The girls look from the door's window when she mentions they must defend the Salon. Though Plum mentions it may be smarter to just run and hide.

Blueberry suggests they defend the store by setting booby traps. Plum gets a bucket of water, opens the door slightly and places the bucket right above the door. Blueberry goes on to say they must knock the Galumphalot off balance. Lemon has the perfect mixture and begins to smear it onto the floor. Blueberry also adds they then need a way to rid of it. The girls then determine a way to get rid of the Galumphalot by releasing a very tightly pulled rope made of their hair elastics. Lemon panics as the creature in question knows her name. Poor Mr. Longface, who finally managed to free himself of Orange's trap, comes inside. The girls put their plan into action: the bucket falls on Mr. Longface's head; he slips on the gel; using the rope, the girls throw him outside. The girls cheer triumphantly, but then Orange asks what they should do when it returns.

Back with Strawberry she tries to figure out why the girls didn't show up when Mr. Longface appears with a bucket over his face as he trips over a tool. He explains that a Galumphalot was at Lemon's, having no clue that he was the figure they thought was the Galumphalot. The Berrykins try to assure him it's not real, but he claims it was and they need to do something, and asks if anyone has a plan. The Berrykins respond by running off and getting small butterfly nets which Mr. Longface disapproves of since this is a Galumphalot they're dealing, so they run off and get only slightly bigger nets which Mr. Longface says is much better, so they go in search of it with their butterfly nets.

Meanwhile, Raspberry is listening when she hears the Berrykins making little noises, which causes the girls to worry that it may be there more when they go to defeat it. But just as Strawberry stops them, the girls realize it was only the Berrykins. She ask why the Salon's lights were off, for Lemon to realize that someone must have left the light switch down, instead of up. Orange apologizes, as she feels it was her fault that everyone panicked and got frightened. Strawberry helps her see that a Galumphalot isn't really there by saying that if its not there in the light, it won't be there at night. And if she can imagine the Galumphalot being scary, then she can imagine it being funny too.

As everyone heads inside, Lemon offers to continue with their salon plans when she accidentally hits her light switch once more, causing everyone to panic for a second before she turns on the light again and apologizes. The next day everyone is shown hanging out together at the Gazebo and a small montage goes by as a song plays and the episode ends with everyone at the Berry Works.

Lessons[]
