Full Plot
The episode starts off with Mai waking up and preparing for the day. She rushes over to Woodland central, where she finds Chief Kaizane making another announcement. He declares that today is Busy Weekend, a monthly day where certain campers are chosen to work at the various establishments and earn rewards. Mai has been one of the chosen to work at the Greenhouse.

After a flashback to an incident in said area, Mai disappointedly sighed as she made her way to the Greenhouse. When she arrives, the building is filled to the brim with lush vegetation and early campers already preparing to take care of the plants.
