Ep 18. Topsy Turvy Tea Party / Old Knotty

In the first part of the episode "Topsy Turvy Tea Party," Goldie and Bear attend a tea party hosted by the eccentric and unpredictable Topsy Turvy. Topsy Turvy has a reputation for hosting unconventional parties, but Goldie and Bear are excited to attend nonetheless. When they arrive, they find that everything is indeed topsy turvy - the cups and saucers are on the ceiling, the chairs are hanging from the walls, and the tea is served in upside down teapots. The guests are equally topsy turvy, with one guest wearing a hat on their foot and another wearing shoes on their head. Goldie and Bear navigate the topsy turvy world with enthusiasm, even when they accidentally break the ceiling light fixture and have to scramble to put it back together before Topsy Turvy notices. As the party comes to a close, Goldie and Bear realize that the chaos of the party was actually a lot of fun, and they wouldn't mind a little more topsy turvy in their own lives.

In the second part of the episode "Old Knotty," Goldie and Bear set out to find a cure for Bear's hiccups. They visit Old Knotty, an ancient and wise tree who is known for having magical knowledge. Old Knotty suggests that Bear try hanging upside down to get rid of his hiccups, but the plan doesn't work. Old Knotty then suggests that they try telling a scary story, as that always does the trick. Goldie and Bear take turns telling spooky tales, but Bear's hiccups persist. Old Knotty then tells a story of his own, about a woodpecker who had a similar hiccup problem that was eventually cured by a magical tree sap. Old Knotty sends Goldie and Bear on a mission to find the sap, warning them that it's guarded by a fierce creature. Goldie and Bear set out on their quest, but when they confront the creature, they find out that it's not so fierce after all - it's just a friendly critter who's happy to share the sap with them. They return to Old Knotty and give Bear the sap, which miraculously cures his hiccups. Goldie and Bear thank Old Knotty for his help and realize that they've made a new friend in the process.

Overall, this episode of Goldie & Bear is filled with whimsy, adventure, and valuable life lessons.
