*Foz tries to play an old Spanish guitar, and Xuli is delighted when her first ever souvenir selfie flutters out of it. It shows her on holiday as a child in a Spanish town with her long-lost friend Maria. Foz suggests they visit Maria, but there is a problem: Xuli was so young when she used to holiday there that she can't remember where it was! Luckily, Foz's keen eyes quickly spot an important clue, and soon they are searching across Spain in hope of a reunion.*

## Plot

The episode starts at the Go Jet Academy. Go Jet Cadets are rushing out of the Academy Dome, cheering. Ubercorn watches them, smiling and wishing them a happy summer holiday. Foz is standing in a hallway. He is surprised by all the running cadets, so he goes to Xuli's room to hide from them. He sees all of Xuli's belongings packed up in cardboard boxes. Xuli explains that she's just finished packing her things for the holidays. An old purple Spanish guitar catches Foz's eye, and he picks it up to take a closer look. An old photo falls out of the guitar. Xuli catches the photo and examines it, then exclaims in joy. She tells Foz that the photo is her first ever souvenir selfie, and the other girl in it is Maria, her old friend. The two girls used to meet in Maria's hometown in Spain when Xuli was on holiday. Foz suggests that he and Xuli can go visit Maria, but Xuli can't remember where Maria's hometown is because she was so young at the time. Foz comments the situation sounds like "a real-life puzzle", and points to their first clue: the plants bearing pink flowers in the background of Xuli's selfie.
Xuli and Foz find Lars and Kyan packing equipment, preparing to go on a camping trip. Foz asks Lars for help identifying the plants. Lars tells Xuli and Foz the plants are Spanish fir trees, which grow in Spain and Morocco. Foz is excited at the discovery of their next "clue", and runs off to the academy library, with Xuli following him. In the library, Ubercorn is taking a book out of a shelf when Xuli and Foz running up to him, interrupting his holiday. Foz tells Ubercorn of their situation and asks the unicorn where in Spain do Spanish firs grow. Ubercorn tells them these trees only grow in the natural parks of Andalusia such as Sierra de Grazalema. He then offers the two Go Jetters flying JetPad there to find Maria. Xuli is delighted at the opportunity and accepts it, thanking Ubercorn before Foz announces, "Coordinates set for Sierra de Grazalema!"

On JetPad, Xuli stands by the airship's gigantic window, admiring the view and humming Maria's song. Foz walks to her and asks for more information about Maria's and her holiday adventures. Xuli remembers that she and Maria always ate churros during those holidays; Maria would always snatch the last one. Foz thinks this might be another clue, but upon asking JetPad, finds out that churros are available all over Spain. Foz is a little disappointed, but as they approach Sierra de Grazalema, he gets excited again, eager to find more clues.

Xuli and Foz explore in the park. Xuli finds an old swing similar to that she and Maria made, but it is not a clue. Seconds later, she sees some tourists on their way to canyoning and follows them, seeming to remember something. When they arrive to the canyoning site, Xuli tells Foz she and Maria used to watch tourist canyoning in Maria's hometown, but the two girls were too young and too nervous to try it themselves. She adds that the canyon is in the middle of Maria's hometown. Foz gathers all the information and concludes that Maria's hometown is Rhonda, and proceeds to tell Xuli some Funky Facts about said town. Then the two Go Jetters hop on the Vroomster, flying off to Rhonda.

At Rhonda, Xuli sees her favorite churro stall, surprised it's still there. She buys some churros for herself and Foz. Xuli's mind is filled with all the happy memories she made in Rhonda: the view of the canyon, the warm sun, the smell and taste of churros, and the sound of Spanish guitar. Foz interrupts Xuli's reminiscing, pointing out if they follow the sound of guitar music, they might find Maria. However, the person playing guitar is not Maria, but a man instead. Xuli feels defeated and thinks she'll never find Maria. She and Foz sit on a sidewalk in silence, then Xuli hears a faint singing and joins in. Foz realises it's Maria's song, and they follow it to where Maria is.

Maria greets Xuli enthusiastically. Xuli introduces Foz to her old friend. Foz is curious about how Maria knows Xuli would be here; Maria says she saw the Vroomster and guessed if Xuli was in it, she wouldn't be able to resist the churros. As Maria says this, she snatches Xuli's last churro. Xuli sees this and chuckles, remarking that "nothing ever changes". Foz asks Maria if she has time for some holiday adventures, to which Maria replies, "Of course!" Xuli suggests that they go canyoning, since they are a bit older now. After they finish canyoning, Xuli takes a souvenir selfie to remind her of this exciting holiday adventure.
