Episode 3/25: Startled by the appearance of moving food, the ants watch in horrified fascination while Indigo, who's pragmatic, takes stock of the situation, and wonders why Captain Aubergine is waving a stalk of celery, which didn't come alive, by the way, at everyone? What is this madness?

Episode 7/25: And as if the rolling seas and general queasiness of the "crew" wasn't enough, up rolled a storm, blowing the ship about the waves, until the only thing that Indigo can think about is dry land and planting his paws firmly on some grass and soil!

Rubens is questing!
Episode 8/25: And just like that, the ship slipped quickly into the inky depths of the ocean, and Anthony was happy it was a storm and not a kraken that took them down to a watery grave. At least now the new friends can bob along the ocean and hope for a rescue!

Episode 9/25: Ah, bumnagit! cried out Anthony! There goes some of the things we are trying to catch! Follow that life raft!
AND JUST HOW DO YOU PROPOSE WE DO THAT? thundered Rubens, watching the raft float freely on the waves, gaining distance away from the ship's hull.
Er, I don't know? I guess eventually we'll drift to shore, right? replied the little sly egg.

Indigo contemplates the options and decides that a good stretch of his legs might be fun!

Episode 11/25: And then God opened the sky and poured rain on them, again! But they had been running so hard, up and down the hills, they welcomed the cooling rain.

Episode 13/25: Indigo realized that they lost quite a few of their groupie ants while shaking off that dog, but the one remaining has declared dedication to stick it out to the end. Rubens was nosy and asked if ants have individual names, since there were millions of them. The little ant nodded and said My name is Anthea! It's Old Greek and means flowery blossom!
And so Anthea gave Caron a big hug and the little pod of paws move on to search out magical foods!

Episode 14/25: Shhh! Don't look now, but there's a very rare avo-cat-o! whispered Anthony. Indigo can't figure out how he would know that it's an avo-cat-o, so perhaps this strange phenomenon of food transforming into living food is a thing? Anthea bravely is approaching it, hoping to snip a little taste, wondering if it will taste like and avocado or a fish? I mean, that is a fish in it's pit!

Episode 15/25: Big green and a sharing machine, the avo-cat-o offers up a delicious treat of dead mouse, turning the friends a strange green, nauseating them at the mere thought of eating a dead mouse. Rubens thinks that it's a shame Captain Aubergine didn't stick with them, because there is the treasure that he was searching for!

Episode 16/25: Grabbing up a truck parked on the beach, they all climbed in the bed and cab, chasing down the sunlight. Avo-cat-o, sharing his nest with the group, invited them to climb up into the tree with him, and explore all the collectibles he's amassed on his travels by the roadside trash heaps. It really is true, one mans' trash is another mans' treasure!

Episode 17/25: Rubens mentioned that hanging out with the avo-cat-o is interesting but it's not really accomplishing much for gathering up the little lively foods. And why is Anthony not coercing these foods to come with them as they search for the others? Maybe he's got an alternative motive?

Episode 19/25: The bar is full of some smart cookies and some muffins too! After a round of hard questions, Rubens is wondering if they can pull out a win? Indigo and Anthea are much more interested in sipping chardonnay and stout than answering questions about where the battle of Waterloo was fought.

Episode 21/25: Wait, said Rubens, there's an entire pub full of foods, alive and kicking, I might add, what's the deal that we aren't gathering them up?
Anthony, waving a final good bye to everyone, ignores Rubens and refuses to let Rubens bring the festive mood down from winning with practical questions.

Episode 22/25: Outside of the pub, the friends were walking along when what should appear? Eight tiny reindeer...oh wait.. no, wrong story! Right!

You see, Indigo has been asleep this whole time, hoomans refer to this as a food coma. Everyone has been enjoying his dream!
