Episode 2: Then one day, Cupig is mysteriously missing. The gaze that watched every move on Pork Avenue has gone. Without it, nothing is quite the same. The street Cupig built with his riches seems twisted without him. Even the perennial good weather seems to have deserted the street.

Episode 3: Cupig's uncle Frank, like any good capitalist pig, knows the exact value of all his assets. He has all the drive and ambition he could ever need, but he is also wise enough to know that Cupig is the brains of his operation. Whenever a new situation in the food industry needs a smart solution, Frank turns to his nephew. So when he finds Cupig mysteriously missing, Frank wastes no time solving the problem with the only method he understands: money.

Episode 4: Aurora liked the idea of a reward. Without stopping to ask Frank for advice, Aurora went to Cupig's penthouse to ask the doorporker if they had seen anything. Before asking, Aurora saw a trail of tiny gems leading away from a wall which had no door in it. Cupig was known to carry little gems around to give as gifts. What if he had dropped them in flight? So Aurora tried following them.

The trail led out into the country, to a place easily seen from Cupig's penthouse apartment. The gems ended at a strange object which pulsed and shimmered. What could it be?

Episode 6: The mysterious portal begins to draw Aurora towards it. The more Aurora struggles, the greater the pull. Just as Aurora realises the answer is not to struggle, it is too late. A haunting scene of lonely mountains appears, and between them a valley where a pet might die of sheer sadness. Yet nearby, a strange blue creature is laughing fit to burst.

"Welcome!" says the creature with a smile. "Oh - you're not supposed to be here!"

"I'd rather be anywhere else!" says Aurora. "How can I get out? Who are you? And what on earth can you find to laugh about in a place like this?"

"I am a Bubble Head," it replied. "This is one version of Bubble Land - and it could be worse! There's nothing here to laugh about, but I can't help myself. I have seen the end of the story! Ah well. As you're not supposed to be here, follow me; the quickest way out is to follow the gems. As you go, you will see that Cupig has already passed though."

Episode 7: Cupig finds himself sitting alone in a new strange dimension, while a melancholy feeling settles over him. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices the Bubble Head bobbing and blending into the scenery. Curious about this new place, he dusts off his pants and takes a hike.

Episode 9: After flitting all night, Cupig is happy to see one of the suns rising on the horizon, and takes a few moments to soak up the beams radiating down, illuminating the beautiful colors around him. A wispy form similar to a cat materialises out of the early foggy mist, and Cupig tries to strike up a conversation, only to watch the strange little being fade slowly away. Cupig's beginning to wonder if there's really anyone here to talk to?

Episode 10: Bubble Head chatters away in his ear, but Cupig has learned to tune him out when he's contemplating life's big mysteries. Cupig sees a grizzled grizzle perched in a tree, but since he's grumpy, Cupig decided that he's not really anyone who he'd like to associate with anyway! But Cupig is getting a little lonely here, and so he starts to search for the way out of this strange land...

Episode 11: Listening to the crickets chirping in the dark campground, Bubble Head and Cupig gaze up into the heavens and star gaze.

He turns to tell all of his friends, excited to share the new wonders, but when Cupig doesn't find any friends around him, he starts to feel a little lonely.

Episode 12: Floating along in the choppy river, slightly queasy from the constant bobbing of the boat and watching that infernal Bubble Head, Cupig tries to strike up a chat with the raven on the prow of the boat. But the raven, of little words, manages to squawk a single "nevermore" before flying off for better lands. Cupig is usually content to be out of the limelight, and enjoy his time away, but his longing for company and friends is starting to get stronger...

Episode 13: "How appropriate that it would rain on me," thinks Cupig as he pulls out his handy dandy trusty umbrella. Bubble Head assures Cupig it is going to be a quick rain, but Cupig is starting to feel that the rain is just a physical manifestation of the rain falling in his heart of loneliness. Surely this land has friends somewhere? Just hiding and waiting to jump out and yell "SURPRISE"?

Episode 14: Taking a night in an old abandoned hostel, Cupig re-purposes an old wheelbarrow, threatening to use Bubble Head for a pillow! While starting to doze, Cupig hears a faint rustling sound, and a thump! scrape! thump! scrape! Quickly notching an arrow in his bow, Cupig is shocked to see a zombified bear coming closer and closer! Straining to hear the muffled mumbles it seems to be emitting, all Cupig can hear in his anxious mind is "BRAINS!" and he's keeping his, thank you very much! But after a moment, Cupig realizes he's alone, again, as he drifts off into an unsettled world of strange dreams.

Episode 15: Resting in a field of wheat, growing for acres, but with no one around harvesting it, Cupig and the Bubble Head have a strange sensation of being watched. Not sure if it's yet an apparition in this odd and desolate land, or if there is something there, Cupig decides that this land is having a negative affect on his life and his emotional well being. Cupig needs to find a way out of here, soon!

Episode 16: A strange phenomenon of half day and half night, which has never been seen in Cupig's normal land of life. Choosing to rest for a while, Cupig settles into the camp tent, and sees an adorable little spider, who declares that he's been watching Cupig and Bubble Head with two of his many eyes. Cupig would normally avoid contact with such an adorable little pet (or rather smacked it with a shoe) but feelings of restlessness are taking root deep in his heart, and he's increasingly craving the company of family and friends, so trying to make a new friend might not be so bad an idea? But Cupig's sadly disappointed to find that, as amicable as this little arachnid is, the only thing he's able to share is the phrase, "Some Pig"! Which Cupig already knew he was!

Episode 17: Reeking of sulfur and an underlying stench Cupig wasn't familiar with, the Bubble Head stops to point out the active lava flow. Dipping down out of the direct line of smoke, Cupig relaxes for a few minutes, breathing in some fresher air. Spying with his little eye, a small blue monster watching him from a sugar cube tree, Cupig waves! Turning to confirm that Bubble Head saw him too, but when turning back, Cupig finds himself all alone again, and it's getting to be too often for his tastes...

Episode 18: Stopping in an abandoned cafe, looking for a bite to eat, Cupig flew up on a rickety stool at the sight of the small slimy black creature scuttling about on the floor. Cupig's appetite suddenly flying away, like he would like to as well, Cupig is more determined than before to find his way home!

Episode 19: Windmills growing tall in the fields along the river pump out bubbles on every revolution of their spinning blades. The bubbles float aimlessly, alighting on food trees, nourishing their need for sunshine and sustenance. Cupig floats along with Bubble Head, oblivious of the strangely compelling creature floating just below the surface. If Cupig had only looked over into the depths, might he have found what he was looking for in terms of friendship?

Episode 20: Stepping carefully through the strange, inky purple fog, Cupig felt a sense of relief as Bubble Head buzzed ahead to help guide him out of the mist. Purple clings to Cupig's legs, turning the toes on his trotters a strangely phosphorescent shade of green. Lurking in the strange fog is a little blue monster who seems to be scooping up handfuls of the inky air, leaving Cupig to wonder if it really tastes good? Feeling incredibly lonely, Cupig is looking forward to the end of this strange journey within this odd and seemingly unfriendly land.

Episode 21: Contemplating life, sitting quietly under a leafless tree, Cupig realizes that he's tired. Tired of his adoring fans, tired of this place, tired of finding no one here to make friends with, even though he has encountered some strange creatures here. After searching high and low, Cupig now realizes that even the Bubble Head has left him as well? Feeling like he's held the key to getting out of here all along, Cupig waves good-bye to the cute bat-like creature in the tree, and clicks his piggie toes together three times, muttering "I need to go home"!

Episode 22: Cupig is remembering a celebration back in his own time and place, when Cupig threw himself a roof rocking DJ spinning party! Everyone who was anyone was on the extensive guest list, and there was hardly an open space on the dance floor! Cupig sauntered around the party, schmoozing with all the guests, feeling the same kind of loneliness that haunts him in this strange land! Yes, pigs can feel lonely in a crowd! Cupig finally realised that loneliness was not a place, but a feeling that came from deep within. Cupig decided that maybe he needed to reevaluate his priorities, because fame and fortune had not brought him happiness, and perhaps start searching the universe for a meaningful relationship?

Episode 23: The vision faded. With it went the Bubble Head. Then the Dreamer appeared. Aurora had heard of her, but no description could do her justice.

"Cupig has now realised his deepest problem is loneliness," she said. "He is not here; he has one more thing to face before he can go home. When you walk through this portal, you will be back in New Pork City, with a magnificent egg to show Frank as proof of your tale. He will reward you.

Though you now understand Cupig's loneliness, only I can see his whole nature. You and your friends will share in understanding parts of it. If you come to understand it all between you, I will invite you to see Cupig's future."

With that, she disappeared. Aurora went through the portal, quaking.

Episode 24: Aurora was suddenly back on Pork Avenue. Before them was an awesome but scary egg, as the Dreamer had promised. Close by was Frank. Aurora was too close to tears to explain. Frank appeared to be drained, but forced a smile and was the first to speak.

"The egg is yours," he said. "There cannot be many more. There is only so much a pig can take. You cannot be expected to go back; I will seek others to do so, if anyone can face such things after all that has happened so far. I gave my word; you shall have your reward. These coins are just part of it."

Episode 25: Frank drove Aurora into the countryside, where he presented Aurora with a quaint little house by the side of a lake. It was quite unlike any other home Aurora had seen before! So Aurora thanked Frank and set about making it their very own. No more gourd house for Aurora! Frank went back to New Pork City to carry on waiting for his nephew to be found.
