Ep 66. Bear Sitter

The episode "Bear Sitter" from season 2 of Grizzy and the Lemmings follows the adventures of Grizzy, a brown bear who lives in a forest ranger's cabin, and his constant battle with a group of mischievous lemmings who also inhabit the woods. In this episode, Grizzy is entrusted with the task of babysitting a baby bear, which he sees as an opportunity to show the lemmings who's boss.

The episode starts off with Grizzy lounging in his cabin, lazily flipping through TV channels when he comes across a commercial for a babysitting service. It gives him an idea, and soon enough, he volunteers to take care of a baby bear for the day, much to the amusement of the lemmings.

The baby bear, who is appropriately named Tiny, is adorable and playful, but also quite a handful. Grizzy struggles to keep up with him, as Tiny scampers around the cabin, knocking over furniture, raiding the fridge and generally causing chaos. Grizzy tries his best to keep things under control, but it soon becomes clear that he's in over his head.

Meanwhile, the lemmings are having a field day watching Grizzy try to keep up with Tiny. They take advantage of his distraction to pull pranks on him, like setting up a fake bungee jump that sends him flying off a cliff or covering the cabin in soap bubbles. However, Grizzy is determined not to let them get the best of him, and he comes up with some clever tricks of his own.

One of the funniest parts of the episode is watching Grizzy try to change Tiny's diaper. He has no idea what he's doing, and his attempts to clean and re-diaper the little bear are both hilarious and cringe-worthy. Meanwhile, the lemmings are watching on, cackling with delight.

As the day wears on, Grizzy becomes more and more exhausted, but he's determined not to show weakness in front of the lemmings. He tries to take a nap, but Tiny keeps waking him up with his antics. Finally, Grizzy comes up with a foolproof plan to tire out the little bear: he sets up an obstacle course, complete with a high-jump, a tightrope, and a maze, and challenges Tiny to complete it.

The plan works, and by the time Tiny is done with the obstacle course, he's so exhausted that he falls asleep on the spot. Grizzy is relieved, but also pleased with himself for having come up with such a clever solution. As he settles in for a well-deserved nap, the lemmings sneak into the cabin and steal Tiny's last bottle of formula.

Grizzy wakes up to find that Tiny is hungry and crying, and he has no idea what to do. Just then, the lemmings return the formula, having realized that they took their pranks too far. Grizzy is grateful for their help, and the episode ends on a heartwarming note as the entire gang gathers around to watch Tiny happily drink his bottle.

Overall, "Bear Sitter" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the characters' personalities and their ability to work together despite their differences. Grizzy, who is usually portrayed as the tough guy, is shown in a more vulnerable light as he struggles to take care of Tiny. It's a refreshing change of pace that adds depth to the character and makes him more relatable. The lemmings, as always, provide comic relief and mischief, but are also shown to have a softer side when they come through for Grizzy in the end. All in all, it's a great episode that's sure to delight fans of the show.
