Ep 2. Fort in the Road

Anne and the Plantars continue their journey to the city of Newtopia in the second episode of season two of Amphibia titled "Fort in the Road." Along the way, they come across a group of toads led by a tough and intimidating toad named Captain Grime. Captain Grime demands that the Plantars join his army, but they refuse and continue on their journey. However, the group soon realizes that they are being followed by Captain Grime and his army.

As they try to evade Grime's troops, Anne and the Plantars stumble upon an old fort. Hoping to find refuge, they enter the fort but soon discover that it is not abandoned. They meet an old and eccentric frog, who introduces himself as old gambling man Frobo. Frobo explains that he used to run a casino in the fort, but it has been closed for years. Nevertheless, he invites Anne and the Plantars to stay and offers to show them around the fort.

The group discovers that the fort is not only filled with riches, but also hidden traps and mazes. Meanwhile, Grime and his troops are still hot on their heels, and the Plantars must find a way to defend themselves. Hoping to use the fort as a hiding place or even a trap for Grime, the group decides to fortify the fort. They create a series of booby traps and barricades to defend the fort and their treasure.

As the sun sets, Grime and his troops arrive at the fort, but the group is ready for them. They use their booby traps to slow Grime's troops down, and they fight bravely to defend their home. However, it soon becomes apparent that Grime is not just after the treasure, but he's looking for something else entirely.

In the end, the Plantars and Anne discover that the true treasure of the fort isn't gold - it's the memory of the old gambling man, Frobo. They realize that he has been lonely and hiding in the fort for years, and they offer to take him with them on their journey to Newtopia. Frobo agrees, and they all set off together, leaving the fort behind.

Throughout the episode, the themes of loyalty and friendship are explored. Anne and the Plantars remain true to each other, even in the face of danger and adversity.
