## Plot

Butterbean and Cricket landed in front of their café and the latter pointed the former to a moving truck. Butterbean told her they were getting some new neighbors, which got her excited. She wondered if some kids are among them; Butterbean was unsure but assured her it would be great. They entered the café and greeted Dazzle, who did likewise. Jasper entered with cheese weighing about 100 pounds just as Butterbean asked about the scenery. Cricket asked him if that was cheese; he made a chesse pun and said where it was from: the dairy farm. Mr. Brookhouse came in and Cricket told him about his moving truck. He replied that his team were done moving their furniture into their house. The girls shared their excitement before Butterbean asked him what he wanted from the café. He wanted four of both blueberry muffins and mixed juices and while he waited, Cricket asked him if kids are included, as she wanted someone she can play hide and seek with. He agreed. Dazzle made and packaged them for him in next to no time. He thanked them, to which they did likewise, before he left.

At the original café, Ms. Marmalady looked at Mr. Brookhouse first before his team still moving furniture into the house through her spyglass. She began scheming on how to compete for their attention. Spork and Spatch suggested to her a party, but she negated it and rather told them to keep an eye on them and see what they are doing. They both insisted on their side of activity before the monkeys left. Mr. Brookwrench's truck left the house and Cricket thought of meeting them right away, but Butterbean told her to give her a special café welcome. Cricket then mentioned almost everything she can think of, making her big sister giggle and say they can put them together in a nice welcome basket. Butterbean showed her how they'll make the basket after she connected her bean screen to the Beanitor and her little sister thought of a kind of card for them which pleased her. They made the basket of one of each in accompanied with *Let's Get Cooking!*. Cricket was assured that the new neighbors will feel welcome.

Butterbean told the viewer(s) her team especially Cricket were excited to meet them and introduce themselves, but it was her and her little sister who went ahead instead. Spork and Spatch met them and asked them what they were carrying and Butterbean more than replied. When Spatch made it known to them that they will tell their boss and left them, Cricket became suspicious. But Butterbean put her off on that saying they have new neighbors to visit. They knocked their door but no-one responded; Butterbean suggested they leave the basket and meet them later so they will have a nice surprise waiting for them when they get back. Cricket worried about Spork and Spatch taking it but her big sister fended her off what she calls it as "silly" that it would be fine there and that they should get back to the café. Ms. Marmalady spyed on what the sisters left there and saw it as "welcoming". Spatch added there was a card inside. Ms. Marmalady said anyone can write a card before saying whatever she writes on it; the monkeys looked puzzled. She wrapped the card and gave it to them to replace the card with it. Spatch asked her if the new neighbours would think she made the basket for them; she affirmed and compared her now starting to make a new basket whiles Butterbean has already done it for them. She sent them away and caution them to clean the puddle they left when they return to prevent anyone from slipping. The monkeys were undecided as to whom they should give the card to. Cricket watched the basket from the window whiles Jasper came to the main area and declared to Butterbean he is done helping Poppy chop the huge cheese into little cubes. She thanked him and told him and Cricket to take their lunch breaks. Cricket wanted to eat her lunch where she was so as to keep an eye out for the monkeys in case they want to touch it, but Butterbean assured her that nothing would happen to it. She saw two persons moving under some leaves and angrily stormed out of the café. Butterbean shares her thoughts with the viewer(s) about Cricket always thinking Spork and Spatch are up to something, but thinking this through herself, they usually are.

Cricket saw the persons head towards the house and failed in her first attempt to catch them. She continued to where they were and hid behind a bush. She caught them just as they took the basket, frightening them such that they flew the basket and dropped it, making her guilty. Butterbean heard the squeal and came to ask Cricket what had happened and the latter admitted her mistake. The parents came and wondered what was happening and asked if their kids are okay. Cricket apologized and admitted she thought she saw someone else whiles her big sister puts the basket back together. The female parent took her apology and Butterbean introduced herself, Cricket and Puddlebrook and gave them the reason for the basket being there. In turn, the parents introduced themselves as the Newbrooks and their kids as Billy and Bobby. Spork and Spatch came and gave the card to Butterbean; she opened it and read it with Cricket reading the last bit aloud, justifying what she said earlier about the monnkeys being up to something. Ms. Marmalady became annoyed whiles she saw via the spyglass Spork and Spatch showing her the note. Cricket felt bad and wanted to make it up to them by coming to their café; her big sister agreed and showed them the way to their café. Spork and Spatch thought of it as a party and they all went. Poppy served up a meal platter of cheese, fruits and vegetables and exclaimed to them to enjoy! The bean team took up the opportunity to welcome the Newbrooks to Puddlebrook which they appreciated and expressed their happiness for. Butterbean used a welcome bean to do the fairy finish on the meal platter to assemble and mount into an exact replica model of their new house much to their awe. Mrs. Newbrook lamented on it being almost too beautiful to eat, but Mr. Newbrook feasted on the leaves to invoke giggles out of everyone. Butterbean gave Spork and Spatch a tray of smoothies to give to Ms. Marmalady and told them to tell she can come over. They went to their café and Spatch was about to give her her smoothie but Spork bumped into him and her smoothie instead landed on her head, dripping the smoothie down her body. Cricket began playing hide-and-seek with Billie and Bobby. Butterbean summed up the day's events with the viewer(s), initially in the background, saying it was great having neighbours which, when they become friends, would be *fairy special*. The monkeys sprang up out of nowhere whiles Butterbean sips on a smoothies and giggles after which the episode fades out.
