In the episode Hogatha's Heartthrob, the Smurfs find themselves in the midst of a love triangle involving the infamous Hogatha and two suitors vying for her attention. When Hogatha declares that she will only marry the Smurf that can bring her the most beautiful flower in the forest, both Hefty and Handy set out to find the prized posy.
As the competition heats up, the Smurfs soon learn that the flower in question can only be found in the deepest and most dangerous part of the forest. Undeterred, Hefty and Handy set off on their mission, each determined to win Hogatha's heart. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles, including treacherous terrain, dangerous creatures and rival Smurf groups also seeking the flower.
Despite the challenges, Hefty and Handy press on, each determined to claim the flower and win Hogatha's hand in marriage. However, when they finally reach the location of the flower, they discover that it is guarded by a fearsome dragon, who will only let the bravest and most daring Smurf take the flower.
In a heart-stopping finale, Hefty and Handy face off against the dragon, each putting their all on the line in the name of love. At the last moment, however, the Smurfs discover that Hogatha has been manipulating the situation all along and there was no flower to be found at all. Bitterly disappointed, Hefty and Handy return to the village, each nursing a broken heart and vowing never to let a girl come between them again.
Despite the disappointment and hurt feelings, however, the Smurfs ultimately learn that love is not a competition, and that true love comes from within. As they come to terms with their feelings, the Smurfs band together to throw a party for Hogatha, celebrating her as a valued member of their community and highlighting the importance of friendship, kindness, and forgiveness.
