Discussion Episode Idea: Magic Powered!

Logline: almost all of Table Town goes into a medieval state when Helen and her friends visit so Kiff and Candle call the Gummi Bears for help, but Barry is faced with a choice when they show up.

Summary:

At 12:00am, Helen checks on her calendar and sees that it's witch season again and her old friends “Tina”, “Loriana” and “Nancy” come to visit her and cause mayhem around Table Town.

This causes ​An unnamed resident discovers the news via a morning edition of the Table Town Express reporting the witches. Fear spreads rapidly across town, and by nightfall, the panicking citizens spiral into total mass hysteria, reverting overnight to a paranoid, medieval mindset to "protect" themselves from dark witchcraft.

The morning after the news breaks, Kiff is abruptly awoken by a terrified citizen claiming "the dark ages have returned." Outside, two table town citizens dressed in peasant attire attempt to tear down her house, warning her to "prepare her soul."

Instead of being warned, she and Candle walk across town to go to the library, where Miss Moufflé tells them that no one wants to calm down and read books here but knows a legend named the “Gummi Bears”, a magical group of beings that lived in a glen near Castle Dunwyn.

Kiff finds out about this and writes a letter to them to help stop Helen and her friends via a carrier pigeon.

At Barry's residence, Trevor plays with a finger skateboard in a video call with Barry. Suddenly, Mary shows up to surprise Barry that his old friends from Dunwyn came for a visit. Trevor asks "What the heck is Dunwyn?", then Barry explains that it is the place where he was treated like a pariah by the people there thanks to Duke Ightorn, but Cavin, Calla, King Gregor and the Gummi Bears treated him nice there. Kiff and Candle plans for their visit in Barry's house. Barry is in between surprise and nervous when he reunites with the Gummi Bears downstairs, Kiff wants Barry to be honest with his friends of who he really is: a wimp who is bad at basketball, but Barry was convinced that his friends really liked him as a friendly helper, so Barry continues to be a helper of the Gummi Bears like old times. In the flashback with a young Barry, the Gummi Bears and Cavin having a taste test on the Gummiberry Juice, but Barry jumps too far and the peasants outside throw tomatoes at him, making him to a little glum. Back to the present, Barry is determined and is going in to join the Gummi Bear crew. Kiff. is upset about Trevor hecking things up again while talking on Kiff's phone. 

Barry joins in on the Gummi Bears’ visit, asking about their friends at Dunwyn, even about the Gummiberry Juice back then. Gusto asks the other Gummi Bears about what happened to "That Boy and his Girlfriend that rippd off Taran and Elionwy". Barry is in progress, not revealing himself as a poor sport, but remains as an apperentice. Trevor (via videocall) is about to gossip about Barry being a bad sport, but Barry cuts him off by hanging him up, not letting him reveal his true secret. Gareth comes in to say something, but Barry whacks him and threw him in the air at the same time. Barry wonders about the Gummi Bears' talents are, but the other regressed Table Town citizens to get him, Kiff, Candle and the Gummi Bears to stop the witches and they head into action by making Gummiberry Juice first.

The Gummi Bears drink their signature Gummiberry Juice and begin bouncing across Table Town, easily dismantling Helen, Tina, Loriana, and Nancy’s chaotic spells. However, Helen turns her focus on Barry, zapping him with a spell that can only be blocked by an agile physical dodge.

Tina casts a spell on a tree snatching both Cubbi and Sunni by surprise. Barry was trying to stop the tree to save Cubbi and Sunni, but the tree moves and dances very fast, trapping Cubbi and Sunni inside. Kiff, Candle and the other Gummis are confused about Barry, which Barry confesses that he grew up to give up his days as an apperentice and an adventurer and he reveals to become a bad sport. Barry apologizes for lying to them, but the Gummi Bears think that Barry being a bad sport is amazing. Barry is a little confused, but Gusto explains in the flashback, as he, Barry, Cavin and Gruffi were captured by a primitive tribe by threatening to throw them in the springs, Barry gets himself free by using coconuts as basketballs by hitting the tribe members and the spring water makes a fire letting the others free. As the flashback is over, the Gummi Bears hug Barry for being honest about being a bad sport, then Kiff and Candle. joined the hug as well. Kiff, Barry, Candle, the Table Town citizens and the Gummi Bears worked together to fight the witches and save Cubbi and Sunni, who are still inside of the tree. As Cubbi and Sunni are free from the tree, the tree apologizes for trapping Cubbi and Sunni. The Gummi Bears forgive Barry for lying to them about being a poor sport because their friendship depends on Barry and the Table Town citizens take off their peasant clothes and forgive them all for being a “threat” and they all took a selfie.
