The episode opens approximately 2 weeks after the festival. Guin attempts to contact Gary the Wizard by yelling 'FIVE' into a puddel she creates. Gary happens to be strolling by, and she gets him to agree to make her a 'Potion of Unhairing' in case her drinking Dr. Fuzz goes awry. After securing this promise, Guin removes her wig and false eyebrows and drinks the Dr. Fuzz, which causes her to grow moss.

Guin heads inside and meets Nike and Kodak in the kitchen. Kodak has just completed a cross-stitch of the three of them.

A knock on the door announces the presence of Gary the Wizard, with Guin's Potion of Unhairing. Guin trades it for a dick sculpture.

Soon, Helpless arrives, having been sent by Mike to gather the team at the museum.

At the museum, Daphne charges the party with traveling to an ancient dryad civilization and bring back artifacts of their culture. Mike promises to pay them more than usual, and supplies them with a wagon, stating that with will be about a three weeks' journey.

A day out, with Nike driving the cart, the party reaches a small town. Nike and Kodak rent rooms, but Guin opts to sleep outside, while pretending to be a statue, while Nike observes form the balcony. After several more days of travel, the party reaches a stand on the side of the road. They meet Lysander, a firbolg and his family.

Guin discovers the Magic Can of Beans, still in her bag, uninvestigated, and plants them by Lysander's house. She then attempts to prevent the party from leaving the farm in order to keep watch over the 'beanstalk'. Kodak bribes the firbolg child with a carved bear to water the 'beanstalk'.

After a week and a half of travel, the party comes upon a huge city, full of statues, which they soon realize are the citizens of the town, frozen in place. Nike insists on getting through town as soon as possible, but Guin wishes to explore a large store called Krelmart.
