* FiveFingerFillet: Polly briefly appears to play this game with a pencil while Sprig is expressing frustration with Hop Pop's rules. Given that she doesn't have fingers, her version of it doesn't seem too difficult. She afterward stabs the pencil into the kids' books as though it were a knife.

TBA...

to:

TBA...The Plantars are excited to finally be leaving the valley to see what is beyond their horizons. However, just as they pass the sign exiting, Hop Pop reveals that he has written a road guide for safety, which practically limits their enjoyment on the road. Despite numerous eye-catching stops as well as an excuse for Bessie to go fast, Hop Pop refuses to let any of the rules to be broken, one of which includes complaining about breaking the rules. The kids have finally had enough when Hop Pop refuses to stop at The Best Diner. As they sulk, Hop Pop announces that they have arrived at the Ruins of Despair, which feature dome like stone structures which previously were factories. This makes Sprig and Anne long to leave the Fwagon even more.

Anne and Sprig trick Hop Pop into making a quick stop as they flee the Fwagon with Hop Pop in pursuit. Anne quickly pulls out her phone, and together they pose in front of one of the doors to take a picture; however, as soon as Sprig places his hand on the doors they fly open sending them both tumbling down a sloped passageway. Anne and Sprig enter one of the ruins and come across a technological structure which a surprised Anne identifies as a computer.

Against Hop Pop's wishes who followed them in, Sprig pulls the lever revealing the structure to be a factory as blue lights begin to flash as the arms and mechanics of the production line begin creating an unknown object. Hop Pop ends up on the assembly line as Anne tries to rescue him while Sprig tries shutting off the machine. Using Hop Pop's book, Sprig shoves it into the disc slot of the computer, which causes the computer to go haywire and attack Sprig; forcing the three to flee as the entire place around them blows up.

Hop Pop is furious over them disobeying, and is further incensed when Polly took Bessie and the fwagon out for a joyride while they were away. Sprig apologizes and claims he understands now what those rules were for before sadly entering the Fwagon. Hop Pop realizes that he has been suppressing all the enjoyment of the road trip for the kids, and admits that he was wrong. He decides to let up on the rules and promises to make a few stops for the kids to enjoy.

Later they head back to get ice cream from the diner they had passed up earlier. As Sprig and Anne question what the factory was about, a robot emerges from the ruins, unseen by the group.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Sprig's reaction when the computer brings out a buzzsaw to attack him with.

Has nothing to do with familiarity with in-universe fiction.


* GenreSavvy: Many of Hop Pop's rules are this, such as "[[TakeAMomentToCatchYourDeath Never stop to talk until you're absolutely clear of danger]]", and "[[WhatDoesThisButtonDo Never, ever pull a lever]]". Sprig [[GenreBlindness fails to see the point of either rule]] until he breaks them, with predictable consequences.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Once Sprig accidentally activates the factory's computer, the silhouette of a robot is shown on the screen. In fact, several robotic parts are shown, such as an eye and an arm. At the end of the episode, an actual robot emerges from the rubble.

** Rule 2 states not to celebrate until you're positive you're out of danger. When Sprig asks why, the factory explodes.
