The episode begins out in the open green mounds and fields of Amphibia, where the Plantar family are riding Bessie the snail towards a chosen destination. Every family member, besides Hop Pop and (Y/N), all have a grumpy expression on their faces, and for a good reason. Hop Pop is going out for the weekend, and is dropping the kids off at somewhere reliable, since he knows that three-out-of-four of them will just cause chaos back at the farm.

Sprig: (grumpy) I still can't believe you're bringing us to a day care, Hop Pop.

Hop Pop: (sighs) Look, I'm sorry, okay? But I have to go to the Annual Crop Convention. It's a long ways away, and I can't leave you kids on the farm alone for the weekend.

Sprig, Polly, Anne: What?

Anne: (groans) Ugh! Are you kidding?

Hop Pop: Wish I was, Anne. But you kids need supervision. (eyes go blank) Why, sometimes it feels like we have at least two wacky adventures a week!

(Y/N): Dang, two? I always thought it was three wacky adventures a week.

Anne: That's a rare occurrence, (Y/N). Speaking of (Y/N), why can't he look after us? He's literally the most responsible one out of us four.

Hop Pop: While that is true, Anne, he would be stuck dealing with you three for two days straight. He may handle two of you, but I doubt he could control all three of you.

(Y/N): Hop Pop's got a point there.

Anne: (deadpans) You're not helping, (Y/N).

Before any arguing can commence on the snail, the Plantars soon arrive at the day care, catching their attention as it looks more like a medieval training tower than an actual day care centre.

Hop Pop: Here we are!

(Y/N): (admiring the structure) That is one day care.

The door to the day care swings open, revealing the figure that is running the place. The person appears to be a light green newt with lighter spots on his tail, has long dark purple hair tied in a ponytail, and a short moustache and goatee for facial hair. He also appears to be wearing a French blue hat with a fancy blue coat with a cravat and gold lines going from his collarbone to his legs, as well as long black heeled boots. This is Tritonio Espada.

Tritonio: Greetings, I am Tritonio Espada, the instructor of this day care. (bows politely)

Hop Pop: (confused) Huh, I thought Briar and Iris Bogwater ran this place.

Tritonio: The Bogwaters retired last year and sold their business to me.

Hop Pop: Well in that case, I'm Hopadiah Plantar. This here is Sprig, Polly, Anne, and (Y/N). (Polly blows a raspberry as Hop Pop gestures to Anne) Anne may be gigantic, but she's also a child.

Anne: (offended) Hey!

(Y/N): (stifling a laugh) He's right, you know. You do act like a kid sometimes.

Anne: (punches his shoulder) Shut it, you.

Hop Pop: (gestures to (Y/N)) As for (Y/N), he may look the same as Anne, with the exception of being a different gender, but he's more of an adult than he may say.

(Y/N): (politely waves) Hi.

Tritonio: Ah, yes. I shall educate them! Teach them true discipline!

Hop Pop: Oh. I like the cut of your jib, Mr Tray-Tony. (pauses) Did I say that right?

Tritonio: (deadpans) Absoleutely not.
