The thunder trees have guided the toadlets on the final path to the Fairy Ring and now all that's left is to enter it to reach Toad Hollow. They, however, find themselves facing obstacles both practical and villainous in the final race to make it before the yellow ball goes down and they all become toadstools. After rescuing Earth Star from Erebus and a muddy pit, the toadlets face a large rift between them and the final path to Toad Hollow. Badgered by both Medea and Erebus along the way, Panther Cap and Earth Star find themselves trapped in the cracks. There, they share some heart-to-hearts on why Earth Star wants to stay in the forest and what exactly happened between Earth Star and his friends. Meanwhile, the other toadlets face a desperate decision as to what to do to save their friends, while still making it to the Fairy Ring in time. Fortunately, Mistle Toad is also around to help out.
