-->'''Ma:''' ''[reading aloud]'' "Now, Sir Hubris was not a Gorg. In sooth, he was only half the height of a Gorg, and not even a hand width in girth."\\

* WalkingTheEarth: Sir Hubris left his crown to Gorgus the Great because he had a desire to wander the universe.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: The Fraggles could have saved themselves a lot of pain if they hadn't been trying to trick the Gorgs into leaving—and if they had stopped to think who would take care of the garden with the Gorgs gone.

Finding a tunnel leading into the Gorgs' castle, Gobo overhears the Gorgs' story about the Sir Hubris, whose return demands that the Gorgs leave forever. Inspired, Gobo gets his friends to help him disguise themselves as Sir Hubris and trick the Gorgs into going away. But the Gorgs begin picking all the vegetables to take with them and plan to throw the Trash Heap into the well (the Fraggle Pond). Gobo, as Sir Hubris, tries to tell the Gorgs they don't need to leave after all, to no avail. The Fraggles show the Gorgs it was a trick and run back home.
