The episode begins with the fwagon, being driven by Hop Pop, passing through a valley, while Sprig and Anne and Sub-Zero are inside watching a series on Anne's cell phone

Mariah: Don't you get it, Mother? I know you want me to be a ballerina, but my heart belongs to hip‐hop.

 She performs a brief breakdance

Mariah: Are you disappointed?

Mariah's Mother: No, I'm proud of you. 

Mariah's Mother/Anne/Sub-Zero: All that hipping and hopping was breathtaking.

Mariah: Oh, Mother.

Mariah's Mother: Oh, Mariah.

Anne and Sub-Zero starts crying

Anne: And that is the masterpiece, From Pointe to Poppin.

Sprig: Talk about an emotional roller coaster.

Sub-Zero: Right, this movie gets Anne every time--

The fwagon stops abruptly and Sprig falls

Sprig: Whoa!

Anne: Sprig! You all right, buddy? 

Sub-Zero: What the heck is going on out there?

Hop Pop: Come on, Bessie. Come on.

Bessie: *chirps*

Hop Pop: Almost there.

Bessie: *chirps*

Bessie's reins break

All gasps

Hop Pop: Oh, dang it! The ding‐dang reins snapped.

*sheepbug bleats*

He sees a sheepbug

Bessie: *chirps*

He goes to the sheepbug

Sheepbug: *bleats*

The sheep runs, being chased by Bessie

He screams

Hop Pop: We gotta get these reins fixed or we can't control Bessie.

Sprig: Don't worry, Hop Pop. There's a town right down the road. See? Ribbitvale.

Hop Pop: Ribbitvale? The most expensive town in all Amphibia? No way!

All screams

Anne: Looks like we don't have a choice, HP.

Bessie: *purrs*

Sheepbug: *bleats*

He sighs

Hop Pop: You're right. But when we get there, don't get sucked in by the fancy.

Sub-Zero: I make no promises.

They take the fwagon to the entrance of the city

Polly: Guys, look.

They see a lot of fancy buildings around them

Polly: So shiny. So sparkly.

She screams

Hop Pop: Hey! Hey! I said look away from the fancy.

Sub-Zero: And I said make no promises.

Sprig: It's like nothing I've ever seen before. A ten‐tier fountain. A solid gold snail carriage. There's even a One‐Eyed Wally. Wait. What?

All: One‐Eyed Wally?

Bessie: *chirps*

Anne: You didn't tell us you were leaving the valley, you scamp.
