Original airdate: May 5, 2015 (produced in 2014)
Subject: Springs

When Crusher attempts to cheat at the rocket game at the carnival, he accidentally makes the rocket malfunction and take off with him and Pickle stuck on it, and Blaze and AJ must save them.

Tropes:

  • Artistic License – Biology: In one scene, where Crusher and Pickle crash through trees while flying on the rocket, one of the trees have skunks in them. This is not possible in real life, as skunks are more likely to be seen living under trees, rather in the top of them.
  • Bears Are Bad News: A grizzly bear chases Blaze in the forest.
  • Don't Wake the Sleeper: Blaze encounters a grizzly bear fast asleep in the forest, and sneaks quietly past, trying not to wake him up. Then the rocket flies overhead, the bear wakes up and chases him.
  • Never Say "Die": Blaze and AJ are chased by a grizzly bear who presumably has the intent on eating them or mauling them to death.
  • Running Gag: The rocket flying through something, causing such to get stuck on Crusher.
  • Save the Villain: Blaze had to save Crusher, who is stuck on the uncontrollable rocket.
  • Smelly Skunk: Some of these get stuck on Crusher when the rocket scoops them up in the forest.
  • Talking Is a Free Action: Near the end, Blaze had to save Crusher and Pickle fast before the rocket crashes into the garbage dump. The rocket appears to be nearing the dump when he witnesses such, but between the time he asks the viewer to help him transform into a pogo stick to catch up and when he does save them, it took over three minutes for the rocket to fly that much.
  • "Test Your Strength" Game: Stripes and Zeg play one at the beginning of the episode.
  • Tempting Fate: As Blaze tries not to wake the sleeping grizzly bear, he notes, "The only thing that could wake up this grizzly would be a really, really loud noise." Cue the rocket flying overhead with Crusher and Pickle screaming loudly, and this wakes up the bear.
