MT scoffs at the possibility of Jesse resolving the centuries-old conflict, but he's adamant about his ability to do so and they go their separate ways.

Both find their respective methods difficult; branches continue to grow faster than MT can break them, while Jesse's attempts at peacemaking only serve to anger both families. When they start insulting each other for their failures, the tree begins devouring them, while also turning Jesse into wood. Seeing Jesse's fear and anxiety, MT apologizes for her behavior and immediately realizes that the tree is responding to their remorse by loosening its binds and returning Jesse to normal. Now with the knowledge that acting amicably gets the tree to leave them alone, the duo continue their journey unimpeded by giving each other compliments throughout. However, as soon as they reach the base, they find that Alan Dracula has already begun climbing back up the tree on his own by turning his feet into suction cups.

Catching up to the deer, MT and Jesse ride Alan Dracula to the top of the canopy once more. MT again apologizes for her behavior and reluctantly admits that the best course of action going forward would be for her to help Jeese

Added DiffLines:

* PoorCommunicationKills: Rather than properly explain to Jesse why she's so defensive around him, M.T. describes her relationship with Tulip as if they were actual friends growing up, in hopes of making him understand. Naturally, this causes Jesse to misunderstand and label M.T. a terrible friend, and leads to them arguing more.

* FeudingFamilies: The tree houses two branches of a family which hate each other's guts. Jesse's attempts to bridge the divide fall on deaf ears.
* ThePowerOfHate: The tree feeds on the animosity of those trying to navigate it, growing branches to ensnare and absorb them. The branches recede when people are polite.
* TakenForGranite: Jesse begins to turn to wood when his anger gets the better of him. Mirror Tulip figures out that being nice reverses the process.
