Ep 2. Teddy vs. The Wild

In the second episode of Prince of Peoria season 1, titled Teddy vs. The Wild, the story picks up with Theodore (Teddy), the Prince of the fictional nation of Peoria, settling into his new life in America with his host family. This time around, Teddy’s host family plans to take him on a camping trip in the woods, but Teddy is not very thrilled about the idea of roughing it in the wilderness, as he has never really been outside the palace before, let alone in the woods.

However, as they head towards the campsite, they run into a problem when the GPS navigation system in their car fails, leaving them stranded in the woods with no cell service and no way to get back on track. As the group sets up camp and starts to gather firewood, they soon discover that they might not be alone in the woods.

When they hear strange noises around their camp and notice things missing from their supplies, they realize that they are dealing with a wild animal of some sort. Everyone starts to panic, and even Teddy is frightened. But the fearless sports lover Teddy decides to take charge and catch the wild animal in order to protect his host family.

As the night sets in, Teddy sets a trap using his knowledge of sports as a strategy. He picks a football and ties it to a tree branch with a rope and positions it near the supplies area, hoping to catch the animal. The trap works, and Teddy finds himself face to face with the wild animal, which turns out to be just a raccoon. Teddy frees the raccoon and the next morning they eventually find their way out of the woods.

Alongside the main plot of the episode, we also see Teddy trying to make friends in his new school.
