## Summary/Description

Cricket puts Jasper in charge of her kitten's well-being whiles helping her big sister set up a double lunch package at the park – but despite his willingness to impress, her unpredictability in hiding will make Jasper's day tougher and more uncomfortable.

## Plot

Jasper returned to the café via his green machine vehicle. Inside, Dazzle served Mrs. Dunlop with soup without a spoon. When she checked for it at the under-counter wardrobe, there was Cookie. She picked her and a spoon to give to Mrs. Dunlop. Knowing well that kittens don't talk, she questioned her about her unexpected hiding around the café; her big sister knows it will still continue. Jasper came in with freshly-picked/harvested apple delivery and right after, Ms. Learnerbrook came in and greeted them. When Butterbean asked her what she wanted, she instead told them she and her class are going for a wildlife watch. Both Cricket and Jasper asked her what a wildlife is which brought at least from them – including Butterbean. When Ms. Learnerbrook provided the answer, both Cricket and Jasper mentioned an animal and uttered their corresponding sound – except the former who forgot the sound of a giraffe. She ended by requesting a special *wild-sided* snack for her students after their hike. Butterbean suggested animal crackers which she approved. Connecting her bean screen to the Beanitor, she showed her how they will make them. Ms. Learnerbrook paid with her card as she asked for 2 o'clock delivery time, which Jasper could negotiate. Butterbean was on her way to notifying Poppy about the animal crackers, while telling Dazzle to get the picnic basket. When Cricket wished they have a wildlife watch of their own, Jasper told her to hide behind the counter. The watch was rather focused on Cookie. Dazzle returned with the basket. Butterbean requested Jasper meet them with the picnic basket when the crackers are ready as she and her little sister are setting up two lunches that time, which he agreed. With Cookie unnoticingly appearing from the basket, Cicket asked Jasper if he could keep watch over Cookie while they're gone. He branded himself as *Ranger Jasper* saying kitty-sitting is easy. Cricket showed him what to do that means in a nutshell, it's the exact opposite. For his proof about him handling it, Jasper took her feeding bowl and filled it with cat food. Cricket told her kitten to be good for Jasper. Jasper wished them a *purrrr-fect* day to bring the giggle out of the sisters. Cricket in turn wished him good luck, which, in his first interaction with the viewer(s) still doubted, saying it's going to be easy. Jasper came into the main café area with Cookie behind suit. Unknowingly and for the first time, Cookie hid in the basket, Jasper called her out and she revealed herself. At the rear end of the café, he's washing the sweet ride; Cookie was playing with moving bubbles on her way out of sight but Jasper won't let her. He turned on the tap to wash the soap foam off the vehicle and unknowlingly, if not unwittingly, stepped on the hose. He saw the water halt flowing, but after pointing the hose end at himself and taking his foot off the hose, it splashed at him, with Cookie meowing. Jasper twisted the end to stem the flow, thought verbally it was Cookie's fault, *and again* when she attempted splashing foam to the ground. Thinking he wanted water to drink, or he's thirsty (as he told the viewer(s)), he imbalanced himself from tripping from the hose and, along with kicking the bucket out, fell with the sponge falling on his head. Jasper brought Cookie inside the kitchen, with both going opposite ways. Jasper said what he would be doing with Poppy asking him who he was talking to, as she saw no-one else in the kitchen. When he answered *Cookie*, he saw what Poppy saw and cracked. Poppy asked him if he lost her, which Dazzle overheard when she came in. Jasper pretended that he lost no-one to them, but he admitted it to the viewer(s). As Jasper searched for her from outside, both Poppy and Dazzle shared the processing of the snack special and made it as the *Let's Get Cooking!* song rolled. Jasper came back to the kitchen, still searching for Cookie, while both Poppy and Dazzle packaged the snacks ready for delivery. Posing at them as if to say, *"Got it!"*, he headed out to continue his search. Both girls saw Cookie then appear and shove herself into the basket to bring a giggle out of them. They brought out the basket to Jasper smiling whiles his worries grew. He told them and they knew, giving him the basket which he felt a sudden load. Once he left, they giggled at each other, but Jasper looked uneasy, adding he doesn't calloing himself *Ranger Jasper*. He hid his unease while riding his green machine to the park, where Cricket welcomed him. But on seeing his unease return, Cricket questioned him with anger, only to change her facial expression when she saw Cookie appear. Jasper *as if by timing antics* apologized and admitted his mistake until seeing Cookie for himself. After admitting that kitty-sitting is tough, Ms. Learnerbrook and the kids returned from their watch to meet Butterbean. After Ms. Learnerbrook told them what the basket was present for. When the female kid asked what's in the basket, Butterbean responded by doing the fairy finish as a surprise. Cookies flew off the basket and each got one. Jasper joked the mountain lion cookie which came to him is *the kitty I can handle*. When Cricket saw Cookie disappear yet again, Jasper saw his chance to restore his *"Ranger Jasper"*mantra, spotting Cookie after a butterfly – *and then after him*. She pushed him down, but he and Cricket giggled, ending the episode in the process.

## Trivia

* Jasper thought Cookie was behind his troubles while Butterbean and Cricket were away, unnoticed that it was entirely his fault.
* Dazzle and Poopy knew Jasper wanted to be free of trouble, but it will just not work. \*One might wonder what Cricket will do if Jasper told her Cookie is lost. This is one of the various times Jasper winks at Poppy.
