Episode Review[]

It is the day of filming their entry for the technology fashion contest and the girls are going on their next take. Strawberry starts by chatting up her recipe, including very important details and the use of myrtle berries; but she finds herself tongue-tied and unable to actually say, and before she knows it, they're going on take twenty-four.

As the girls are trying to work, Sour keeps distracting them.

First she mocks Strawberry for her performance, which gets her scolded. During another take, Sour loudly chews on a snack, causing the other girls to glare at her and Sweet to take it away from her. Just when it seems like Strawberry has gotten it, the power suddenly goes out, much to the girls' dismay about not finishing in time.

With no further choice, Strawberry decides that it would be better to wait since she has deliveries to take care of; noticing how late in the day it is, but first she has to see what is going on at the Berryworks. Upon arrival, Berrykin Bruce shows her the Sparkleberry Strainer, along with a few other various elements in need of repair. He is sure that they can have it fixed by the next morning - but he can't actually promise that.

Before Strawberry can deliver the news to the others, much to her surprise, she gets a phone call from her younger cousin, Apple Dumplin. She is excited to hear from her since they haven't talked in a pretty long time. Apple mentions that she will be paying Berry Bitty City a visit for a little bit. As Strawberry asks when she will be approaching, she watches as Apple flies overhead in the Butterfly Bus, breaks part of a house roof, and makes a crash landing.

As they embrace, Apple explains that the landing was from a storm they ran into on the way there. However, she assures that she is suffered worse trying to climb Mount Macadamia, or the time she spent on Crabapple Falls. But she stops upon recalling Tea Time Turtle and checks to make sure he is alright first. She introduces the intelligent turtle to Strawberry, mentioning that he goes everywhere with her, then they start to make their way over to the Market, where Strawberry was heading at the time.

As the cousins chat, Strawberry mentions to Apple that the other girls will be excited to meet her, since they follow her on her blog, and she is welcome to stay awhile. Apple is concerned that she may be a bother, but Strawberry insists that she at least will spend the night, which Apple agrees to since she can't pass up the chance the lay on a real bed - instead of her tent or a boat.

Once they reach their destination, Apple begins to tell Strawberry another story about the time she snuck on a Cargo ship. When Strawberry is about to organize the Marketplace, Apple lends her a hand, much to the former's worry, knowing how impulsive and mischievous the latter can be. Strawberry tells her cousin that she won't need any help especially since the latter is her guest. This saddens Apple a little bit, but she accepts it. Before Apple heads upstairs, Strawberry assures her that she will see her once she finishes work. Later on, Strawberry is on the phone with Lemon discussing finishing the video, and lets the latter know she will be at the Cafe first thing in the morning.

That evening, Strawberry has returned with a box of postcards she kept from her for a long time. She was hoping they could look

over them together, before they go to sleep, only for Apple to surprise her with a colorful light display she had installed in the bedroom. She was sure her cousin would enjoy them. Knowing about the video shoot in the morning, Strawberry asks about shutting them off since she needs to get some sleep. Apple is willing to do so, only to realize that she forgot to create an off button and she says they won't go off until sunrise. Teatime hands over an eye mask for Apple to give to Strawberry, much to her relief. Suddenly, Strawberry gets a surprise awakening after loud music begins to blast through the room.

Despite Teatime's silent pleading to Apple not to do this, the latter had installed some music she recorded during her travels - but just like the lights, she forgot the off button and is sure they will also go off on their own by sunrise. She hands Strawberry a pair of headphones to block the sound. By now, the two cousins aren't really seeing eye-to-eye. Strawberry really needs to get some sleep, but all of these distractions is only causing her problems. Seeing how annoyed her cousin is, Apple tells her that she will be camping in her tent. Initially, Strawberry tries to tell her it is fine, but Apple isn't listening and heads out to her tent.

The next day, Apple works on her blog to type up her story about the time she snowboarded, when three Baby Berrykins show up, wanting

to hear more. She hops on her snowboard she has set up nearby and tells them about her adventure in Apricot Alps. She retells her story, only to stop when she realizes that she can show the kids what happened, so she leads them to the top of the hill.

At the Berryworks everyone continues to work. They test out the recent fix and it works. Meanwhile, Apple decides to set up her snow maker using some of the pumps and pipes and her plugs, which causes another disaster at the Berryworks. Apple starts to snowboard down, while the Baby Berrykins follow her with their sleds on the newly formed snow hill. Tea Time Turtle nervously follows them.

Back at the Cafe, going on Take One-Hundred-Fifty-Three, Strawberry resumes her recording. By now she has been mashing and blending the berries, but her tiredness is ruining the filming. On the next take, she accidentally falls asleep, but after they snap her out of it, she gets it down perfectly with the next; the power suddenly cuts off again, much to the girls' frustration. When the blender overflows, Strawberry is at her breaking point and starts to panic.

The Berrykins try to shut down the Berryworks as Strawberry comes by for an update. As it turns out, there is a blowout in

the juice cooler. Knowing who was behind this, Berrykin Bruce, points out the snow mischief Apple has been getting into with the Baby Berrykins, and Tea Time, much to Strawberry's horror. Once the Baby Berrykins and Apple slide into each other, causing a crash landing, Tea Time nudges Apple while the Baby Berrykins also look over in worry. Strawberry and Berrykin Bruce glare at Apple. Strawberry tells Apple that she would like to have a word with her.

Later on, Apple reflects of this and decides to leave. Strawberry asks her to reconsider, explains that everyone feels bad what happened but things can be worked out. Apple explains that she isn't really like everyone else there, and hopes that Strawberry will understand. Sadly, Strawberry agrees to let her go but asks that she at least sends her an update every now and then, and more postcards. Apple promises and prepares to go, revealing that she was the one who broke the Bus to begin with and could easily fix it.

After she goes, Berrykin Bruce comes by to tell Strawberry about another thing Apple did. To Strawberry's surprise, he isn't angry at all - in fact he was hoping to hire her because her technique of mechanics amazed him. Strawberry calls out to Apple to speak to her, but she is unable to hear her.

That evening the girls try to get a hold of Strawberry and grow concerned that she left town. Their concerns are right though, when it turns out that Strawberry left to retrieve her cousin.

She had gotten a ride using one of the birds but she got lost in the stormy, evening sky. Now that the wind is picking up, she isn't sure how much longer she can keep looking. She refuses to give up though and continues to call for her, just barely hearing her cousin in the distance.

Using the bus, Apple reaches out to Strawberry and she asks how she found her. She goes over the modifications she made to the bus to pick up some signals, then she helps Strawberry get back home while the other girls wait for her to return.

After they land everybody cheers, including the Berrykins. Tea Time takes Apple's belongings from the bus. Berrykin Bruce asks Apple to lend him some help fixing things and teaching them her skills. Not only that, Blueberry exclaims that the Baby Berrykins want to hear more about Apple's adventures at story time, and everyone wants her to stay. As Apple reflects, her bus suddenly lifts up and flies off. She reveals she put in an automatic return because she realizes that the place she'd like to stay is in Berry Bitty City. Strawberry welcomes Apple home as the cousins embrace.
