Plot Summary: 
Tanager, Raincloud, and Mooses arrived in the spa town of Paraa, a place famous for its two inch tall glowing fairies, the Oreades. They met Hans Fessenden at the information kiosk in the train station. Mooses bought a flower from Xiomara's flower stall. Upon hearing his broken hearted love poetry, Mooses grabbed Hans by the face to urge him to pursue his lost love. Hans took offense, and Tanager took quick action, charming Hans to be their friend. Knowing that the charm would wear off quickly, the party proceeded to the Fessenden spa and resort to get away from Hans before his shift ended at 11 pm. Upon arriving at the spa, the heroes witness Sylvan Fessenden openly yelling at his receptionist, Kuri, at the front desk, not particularly caring that he was being horrible to his staff in front of customers. The heroes ask Kuri if she's all right and she leads them on a tour of the spa, where they learn that the fairies are being magically concentrated here to make them more rare across the rest of the country of Guaso and turn them into a tourist attraction. If the fairies were uniformly distributed across the country then they might not be as remarkable and draw as many people to the Fessenden Hot Spring Resort. The heroes spent the day at the spa as they thought about how to accomplish that, and the night with the staff at a local bar, then caught some zzz's in the Fessenden hotel. 
The next day, Tanager, Raincloud, and Mooses visit an open house hosted by Lena Topfer, where they witness a large number of pixies swarming around the zen garden in the house for sale's backyard. The home is being sold by Sylvan and Sonia Fessenden, owners of the Fessenden Hot Spring Resort, who are moving to the big city of Jishoap. Oreades pixies are playing pranks on Lena, the realtor, who Raincloud has a crush on but hasn't contacted since he met her months ago in Masquerade Madness. The pixies crumble up her fresh baked cookies and throw the crumbs at one another. Our heroes, Tanager and Mooses peering in from the zen garden in the backyard as Raincloud works up the bravery to ask Lena out to dinner, resolve to help her sell the house. 
Xiomara arrives, as an interested town resident, not as a potential buyer. She sees the tattoos and realizes the party is adventurers, and asks them to hunt a monster on her flower farm who has been scaring her chickens. The heroes agree, if Xiomara is willing to reward them with some flowers (they plan to plan the flowers outside the house for sale to draw the fairies outside to decrease the pranks). They find shadow wolves at the farm, epicyon, and nearly die but are saved by eight foot tall black exoskeleton creatures who don't speak their language but seem nice enough. They introduce the creatures to Xiomara, who begrudgingly admits they're fine, and introduces them to her chickens, who stop being afraid. Mooses experiments with the design of the zen garden and realizes that it attracts fairies by bunching up the local ley lines, like a lazy river of water if magic were water. The heroes take their flower bush reward back to the house. It's late and the house is locked, but they're able to plant the bushes in the front yard. They notice that the zen garden design has Lena's footprint in it, explaining why the fairies were pranking her all day during her open house. Having resolved to reduce the aggregation of fairies in town to mess with Hans and Sylvan, they smooth out the zen garden and Raincloud writes Lena a love note in the pebbles. 
They go next door to the chapel where Lena is visiting her great uncle. The black exoskeleton creatures see fliers of the house for sale and offer to buy it, without being able to speak the language. The alter ego of Tanager, Marvin Funke, CPA, facilitates the communication. Mooses remembers the wedding rings for sale in the gift shop and buys them, and, understanding, the exoskeleton creatures get married, and the episode ends with their inner jaws extending to one another, their first kiss as a married couple.
