Airdate: March 20, 2023

"The Qyah Ice Classic": The town holds a contest to predict when the river ice will break.


"The Qyah Ice Classic" contains the following tropes:

  • Anthropomorphic Food: In Tooey's dream, there are talking muffins.
  • Binocular Shot: Utilized when Molly is using binoculars to spy on 'Timmy.'
  • Catapult Nightmare: Tooey jolts right up and grabs his chest after his dream. Played with in that the dream wasn't scary so much as it was weird, and Tooey was most likely scared by his loud alarm clock.
  • Cuteness Proximity: A picture Molly shows of a duck causes Tooey and Vera to go "Awwwww!"
  • Darkhorse Victory: Oscar initially didn't enter the Ice Classic because he usually doesn't win contests. However, by combining his friend's guesses, his guess ends up winning the contest.
  • Dreaming the Truth: Tooey dreams about Timmy the Tripod being born on April 30th at 12:16 PM. When he awakes, he decides to cast his vote that the ice will break on that date and time, only to later have another dream about him catching a salmon on May 2. This leaves Tooey very confused. Eventually, he chooses neither option.
  • Hand Behind Head: Oscar puts his hand behind his head after Vera sneezes on his model.
  • I Call It "Vera": Tooey decides to name the tripod on the ice 'Timmy,' based on his dream.
  • Ill-Timed Sneeze: Vera accidentally sneezes on Oscar's model of the tripod, ruining it.
  • Idiosyncratic Wipes: Feathers are used to wipe to the flashback scene.
  • Take a Third Option: Tooey has various dreams telling him the supposed date of when the ice will break - either April 30 or May 2. Eventually, Tooey decides to cast his prediction vote as May 5 at 5:00 PM, because 5 is his lucky number.
  • Whole Episode Flashback: Most of the episode is a flashback to Molly organizing the Qyah Ice Classic and making her guess.
  • Wink "Ding!": In one of Tooey's dreams, a talking salmon tells him to cast his prediction for when the ice will break as the date May 2, then winks with a ding sound effect.

"The Great Qyah Clean Up": Everyone gathers to clean up Qyah after winter.

"The Great Qyah Clean Up" contains the following tropes:

  • Buffy Speak: Mr. Rowley calls a grease catch pan a 'doohickey.'
  • Chekhov's Gun: A weird wire thing that Molly and Tooey find turns out to be the missing piece of Mr. Rowley's grill.
  • Continuity Nod: Tooey thinks he's found a sheep's horn that was lost in a battle with a giant ice worm, alluding to the episode "The Worm Turns."
  • Curse of The Ancients: The elderly Mr. Rowley's usage of "Bejabbers," "Gadzooks," and "Great horn spoon."
  • Unusual Euphemism: Mr. Rowley exclaims "Bejabbers!" which is similar in meaning to "Bejesus!"
