Burt was leading Neil to the base of Chick-a-Pin Hill. 

"I'm very excited to see your super colleagues perform" said Neil.

"Not as excited as we are, sir" said Burt. "Meanwhile, while we set up, here's a crossword puzzle all about the worst supervillains."

"Very good" said Neil.

As he did the puzzle, Burt faced his friends.

"Alright, guys. Neil leaves tonight. So we'll get through your superpower demonstrations if you just stick to the plan" he said.

"Burty, have you ever thought about just telling Neil the truth?" Patty whispered.

"I'd rather cut off my finger and stick the bone in my eye" said Burt.

He led Brer Bear to a stage near the river. 

"First up is our super speedy hero, the Bear Wonder" said Burt.

"I will now run across diss stage in less den a sec'n" said Brer Bear.

But it took him five seconds to even start to run and by the time he finished, his bones were cracking. 

"I musta forgot ter warm up diss mawnin" said Brer Bear awkwardly.

Burt ran up and led him off the stage. "Thank you, Bear Wonder. He can be a little silly at times."

On the Fishing Spot, Jeremy had set up a trap for Brer Camembert and he came out to find nothing in the cage.

"Brer Camembert took the bait, but he's not here" said Jeremy.

"He's close" Brer Fox sniffed. "I can smell 'im."

As Jeremy looked for the skunk, Brer Camembert snuck up on him. 

He turned around fast and he saw the skunk getting ready to spray.

"Brer Camembert! No!" Jeremy shouted.

The skunk raised his tail and sprayed Jeremy. 

"Skunk! Ev'rybody off deez grounds!" Brer Fox yelled. "All smell 'as broken loose!"
