In the third episode of season one of PB&J Otter, entitled "Bagpipe Blues / You Can't Come In," the lovable otter siblings and their furry friends find themselves in a couple of sticky situations.
In the first half of the episode, Peanut and Jelly Otter discover that their friend Flick has a new hobby - playing the bagpipes! However, the problem is that Flick is just learning and his playing is quite terrible, to the point that it's driving everyone in Lake Hoohaw crazy. Peanut, Jelly, and their friend Opal devise a plan to help Flick improve his skills and give him the confidence to keep practicing. They create a band called "The Bagpipe Buddies" and invite Flick to join. With their guidance and encouragement, Flick perseveres and becomes a skilled bagpipe player, finally earning the respect of his friends and family.
In the second half of the episode, Peanut and Jelly have a disagreement with their friend Munchy. Munchy is always barging in on their clubhouse unannounced, and the siblings have had enough. They decide to confront Munchy about his rude behavior and tell him he's not welcome in their clubhouse anymore. Munchy is hurt and confused, not understanding why they are suddenly pushing him away. But with the help of their parents and wise old Granny Minky, the otters learn a valuable lesson about communication and understanding. They realize that Munchy was just excited to spend time with his friends, and didn't realize he was being a pest. In the end, the three friends share a group hug and make up, and Peanut and Jelly invite Munchy back into their clubhouse - with some new rules about knocking first, of course.
