==Synopsis==
Fall is already beginning around the world, with the sky turning red and the leaves falling over the ground. However, the kids try to stop Chip from being affectionate to two girls, while the butterfly fairies are having a peace treaty with the bee fairies in Bee Haven, but the hungry trolls follow their tracks in hopes of stealing those jars of honey for their dinner…
==Plot==
Today is Fall, or Autumn in some countries, and the kids in Sideview Beach are excited to play around some leaves. They throw piles of leaves over each other, while Jessa collects some leaves to make an artwork of a tree. However, Celia is scraping off some leaves with a rake and making some piles of them, only for Chip to jump on the piles, thus ruining them. Celia gets frustrated and decides to scrape more leaves.
A young girl was strolling with her parents when she notice the kids playing along. She asks her parents if she can go and meet the kids and they allow her, so she came to them and tried to introduce herself, but Chip suddenly began to fall in love with her, much to her disgust and she tries to push him off from her.
Petunia asks the girl what is her name and she said her name is Calamari Cawthon, or Cally for short, and she's from the city of Lexington, Kentucky. Petunia wonders what kind of name is "Calamari" and Cally says her mom named her so, because she loves to cook squid for dinner. However, Chip slyly walks to Cally and begs her to have a date with him, but Petunia pulls him off from her.
Jessa shows Cally an artwork she made with leaves, then Rose tells her if she knows about butterfly fairies and she does, bewildering the kids. Another girl came to the scene and wondered what are the kids doing, but however, Chip enters a love triangle between Cally and the other girl. Petunia tries to tell him to stop being a sluggish kid, but he won't listen to her, so she decides to ask Cally what is the girl's name and Cally responded that the girl is her friend Arisa Morgan from Burnaby, Ontario, Canada.
The other kids try to consult with Chip, but he still tries to woo Cally and Arisa. Petunia eventually snaps towards Chip, causing him to apologize to the girls, but he is still lovestruck. Rose soon does a finger snap in front of Chip, breaking the love spell off him.
Meanwhile at the Bee Haven International Airport, the butterfly fairies exit the airplane and greet the bee fairies, while Frank, the prince-in-exile of the Bee Kingdom, spies on them. His henchmen are gossiping behind him, but he tells them to be quiet, as he's concentrating on Princess Butterfly, whom he will kidnap her.
At the Royal Beehive Palace, the butterfly fairies and the bee fairies are having a peace treaty at the throne room. Frank's henchmen spy on Princess Butterfly as she gives out her speech on the relationship between the Butterfly Kingdom and the Bee Kingdom. The butterfly fairies and the bee fairies applaud to Butterfly as she steps down for Prime Minister Ellis to give out his speech on the possibilities to end honey shortage.
Just when Princess Butterfly returns to her seat, she suddenly hears a strange sound when she sits down and the fairies witness this too. Butterfly gets up and finds a whoopie cushion on her seat. She throws it away and it hits Frank, who wonders where it comes from ad went to his henchmen.
Now sitting at the round table, Arisa shows the kids her magic flower, which is a white trillium. Arisa says the trillium is the symbol of the province of Ontario, but Chip thought it was state, like those of the United States, then Arisa corrects him that most first-level divisions of Canada are called "provinces", while the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are known as "territories". The kids clearly understand this.
Jessa claims that she would like to visit Nunavut, since she wants to paint some beautiful scenery for the Inuit, which are the natives of northern Canada, but she asks Arisa about the Inuit and she answers they are indigenous people who mainly live in the northern part of Canada, but some of them also live in Alaska and Greenland. Chip thought Greenland is full of green stuff, like the grass and trees, then Arisa corrected him that Greenland, being a very cold place, actually had land covered with ice and is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Arisa asks the kids if they want to visit the Bee Kingdom and they all agree. The kids hold onto Arisa's magic flower as it glows, sending the kids to Bee Haven, the capital city of the Bee Kingdom. The kids are astonished by the amount of honey around the city, then a bee fairy tour guide shows them the landmarks of the city, including the Honeycomb Park Monument, the honeycomb-shaped tower of the Hexagon Communications Centre, and the statue of King Cassius XVIII. Sam points out the bee fairies and tries to greet them, but they answered that they've got work to do.
Arisa reminds Sam that the bee fairies are very hard-working animal fairies and they will only take breaks on Sunday, then a non-working bee fairy named Lunette came and greeted the kids. She asks the kids if they want to buy some jars of honey, but Petunia says she doesn't want honey for now, then Lunette bids farewell to the kids as she leaves.
The troll guards are piloting a Halberd 1-73 helicopter, tracking down some honey for dinner. One of the troll guards points out a huge honey reservoir and they land near a large-scale honey factory. The troll guards sneak into the factory and disguise themselves as bee fairies. They began to "work" alongside the bee fairies.
The kids are given a tour around the honey factory, but Petunia notices the troll guards stealing the jars of honey, only for the tour guide to stop her from getting distracted, then she shows the kids the honey reservoir. They watch the honey go down the reservoir and into the jars.
The troll guards quickly snatch every box containing jars of honey and escort to the Troll Kingdom. The bee fairy workers notice the missing boxes and call the Royal Bee Police Department. The police officers arrive at the factory and try to arrest the troll guards, but they attack them with their spears. Rose and Petunia decide to finish off the troll guards, while Arisa and the other kids retrieve the boxes.
Arisa went to wake up the police officers, who were knocked out cold by the troll guards. One of the police officers notices the troll guards stunned by the twins and they get up to finally arrest them.
The police officers leave the honey factory as the kids and the bee fairy workers bid farewell to them. The workers thank the kids for stopping the troll guards and bid farewell to them as they soon leave the factory, but they were stopped by Frank and his henchmen. Rose and Petunia try to attack him, but he's proven too strong for them to handle. Fortunately, Lunette comes to the rescue, knocking out Frank and his henchmen with her magical powers.
The remaining troll guards (those who have yet to be arrested by the police officers) came and one of them asks the kids to give them honey and Petunia offers them some jars of honey she brought from a neighborhood grocery store and they come from Ogden, Utah. The troll guards thank the kids for the jars of honey and bid farewell to them as they return to the Troll Kingdom.
The kids thank Lunette for stopping Frank, then she offers them jars of honey and bottles of maple syrup she brought from a nearby grocery store, or supermarket as it was called in Canada. The kids bid farewell to her and return home using Rose's magic flower. Frank and his henchmen had ended up in a pool of mud, with Frank getting up and declaring to kidnap Princess Butterfly someday, as he smiles with a menacing look.
The troll guards return to the Troll Kingdom with the jars of honey. A troll guard knocks the gate and King Boogieman opens in response. The trolls enter the Great Troll Palace and head to the dining table, where the monarchs inspect the honey.
King Boogieman opens one of the jars and checks if the honey is from the Bee Kingdom, then Queen Peregia asks the troll guards if the honey really is from the Bee Kingdom, but the trolls find out that the honey actually came from Ogden, Utah. This upsets the monarchs, who really wanted to only have honey from the Bee Kingdom, but nevertheless, the troll guards eat the honey and find out that it tastes good. A troll guard asks the monarchs to taste the honey and they did. After all, King Boogieman and Queen Peregia actually like the honey and the trolls enjoy their feast.
At the community part, Arisa brought the kids some jars of honey and bottles of maple syrup for the pancakes that she and her mother made for them during their trip to Sideview Beach. The kids went to the round table and try the pancakes. Arisa hopes for the kids to like the pancakes and they do, much to her delight.
Chip accidentally pours too much honey on his pancakes and remarks "Oh boy, I guess there's too MUCH honey on my pancakes!", then Arisa hears the word "much", which reminds her of the TV network MuchMusic and asks the kids if they heard about it. Petunia replies that she heard of that network when she and Rose watch a commercial on TV about the MTV-MuchMusic Mega Summer Jam '99 event in Niagara Falls, New York and Ontario, Canada. Arisa understands this and a leaf falls next to Rose's pancakes.
Rose picks up the leaf and asks Arisa about it. Arisa recognizes that leaf as the maple leaf, which is a national symbol of Canada. Rose realizes this and the kids continue to enjoy their meals as episode ends with leaves falling over the screen.
