A Bigfoot named Charlie spends a weekend at the bears' house, trying to hide from avid Bigfoot paparazzi.

Tropes:

  • Bad "Bad Acting": Panda indulges in a bit of this to convince the Bigfoot hunters that "Princess" is his girlfriend, but then it gets a little too real when he uses it to air his grievances with Charlie.
  • Butt-Monkey: Charlie turns Panda into one over the course of his visit, including taking his bed, using his pillow to unclog a toilet, and keeping him up with his endless questions.
  • Call-Back: Panda has a framed photo of them and Lucy.
  • Death Glare: Ice Bear to Charlie, repeatedly.
  • Disguised in Drag: Charlie poses as Panda's "girlfriend" to dissuade the cameramen and Bigfoot enthusiasts.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Panda's patience with Charlie quickly deteriorates as time goes on, with the bigfoot inviting in wild animals becoming the final straw and he demands him out.
  • Stepford Smiler: Grizzly tries to be nice and offer hospitality to Charlie even though he too is starting to feel uncomfortable by the latter's antics. At end of the episode after Charlie leaves, he tells his brothers to lock the door.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: And for good reason, too, what with all the cameramen and Bigfoot enthusiasts swarming the bears' den.
  • Tranquil Fury: Panda and Ice Bear make it very clear they don't like Charlie staying with them. Ice Bear in particular seems very pissed Charlie tampered with his soup, but is calm about it.
  • The Unhug: Panda and Charlie share a rather awkward hug at the end of the episode.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: At dinnertime, Charlie tells a story about a guy who backed his truck off a cliff, complete with explosion sound effects. Panda quite rightly wants to know what happened to him, but Charlie doesn't know, nor seem to care.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Charlie does not like cameras, even smacking Panda's phone into his soup.
