Go To

The fifty-second episode of the first season of the 2007 revival series of The Magic Roundabout.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Ahem: At the end of the episode, Florence sternly clears her throat as in a way to get Dougal into helping Dylan to make another scarecrow.
  • Death Glare: Florence gives Dougal one after he caused Mr. Grimsdale to crash when he tries to claim that it wasn't his fault. At the end of the episode, she gives Dougal another one upon seeing that he has accidentally destroyed Dylan's scarecrow.
  • Here We Go Again!: Dougal was forced by Florence to do the rest of the deliveries on the cart as a punishment for causing Mr. Grimsdale to crash where he damages his bike and hurts his back. He spends the entire episode doing the deliveries until he delivers the pies at Florence's house before setting out to look for her. While doing so, he mistake Dylan's scarecrow for a monster and rallies Ermintrude and Brian to help him tackle the "monster" until Dylan shows up. After realising his mistake and having destroyed the scarecrow, Dougal was forced by Florence to help Dylan make another one to make up for it.
  • Mistaken Identity: Dougal mistakes Dylan's scarecrow for a monster who kept Dylan prisoner and informs Ermintrude and Brian who join him to tackle the scarecrow. While Dougal and Ermintrude, Brain begins to realise that they've got the wrong end of the stick until Dylan arrives with Florence and Mr. Rusty and see the destruction of his scarecrow.
  • Never My Fault: Dougal tries to claim this to an disappointed Florence as he was trying to stop Fly for pestering Mr. Grimsdale, but her angry glare shows that she isn't buying it, making it clear that the accident was indeed Dougal's fault.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While trying to stop Fly from pestering Mr. Grimsdale and to save his pies, Dougal accidentally causes Mr. Grimsdale to crash into the bandstand where he hurts his back and damages his cart. Florence was cross with Dougal for causing the accident and forces him to do the rest of the deliveries on a pull cart as a punishment.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Florence gives two of these to Dougal in the episode. One, when she is telling him why he must do the deliveries as a punishment for making Mr. Grimsdale crash, resulting in him hurting his back and his bike being broken. Two, when she finds out that Dougal (along with Ermintrude and Brian) has destroyed Dylan's scarecrow.
