A Cry For Help The toadlets are having a blast in Toad Hollow, where everything is fun and there are no dangers to worry about. Panther Cap, for his part, is enjoying some nice relaxation time because he's tired from all the adventures. It's then that he receives an urgent call from Mistle Toad, who's in danger, urging him to leave Toad Hollow and make the big climb. Though some toadlets are reluctant to leave Toad Hollow, helping Mistle Toad is too important. Elf Cup, Shaggy Mane, Oyster and Slippery Jack, however, are asked to stay behind. They decide to follow along anyway as the toadlets find themselves in a radically different forest covered with thick white. There, they soon face old and new enemies but find that they're still strong when they stick together. |

The Healer The Toad Patrol continues their journey to rescue Mistle Toad, coming upon a big block of thick wet, a frozen lake. They have some rough encounters with rumblecrushers and snowmobiles, but also encounter a new friend, Loki the otter, who helps them to get across the thick wet. Unfortunately, Panther Cap falls through a hole into the chilly wet. Fur Foot dives to save him, but it ends up being Loki who rescues him. He's fallen into a deep sleep and the toadlets all find a toad tunnel. While searching for a way to help Panther Cap, most of the Toad Patrol is trapped outside, while Beauty Stem is inside with Slippery Jack and the sleeping Panther Cap. She must rely on intuition and a friendly visitor to help him out. |
