ELEPHANTS ALMOST NEVER FORGET Diamonds gets amnesia after bumping her head and wanders into town.

MARVIN'S HIGH DIVE Jack comes up with the perfect new act to try to increase attendance at the carnival. He's going to have Marvin jump off a high diving board into a tub of water! Unfortunately, not only is Marvin scared of heights, but he's terrified of water too! Not wanting to disappoint his boss, Marvin keeps his fears a secret. In the end, he lands Jack in ""cold"" water, but learns that telling your friends you're afraid, is nothing to be afraid of. EDDY'S WRONG ORDER Jack's away for the day and Eddy has signed for a shipment of corn brooms. The only problem is that Jack ordered corn dogs, not brooms. Now Eddy's stuck with hundreds of brooms they don't need, and must use all his ingenuity to get rid of them all and get Jack's money back.
Stripes' Sticky Situation; Stripes Takes Off
STRIPES' STICKY SITUATION Stripes becomes obsessed with collecting bubble gum wrappers for a contest which boasts a ""fabulous prize"". The others eventually figure out what he's up to and offer to help. By the time Stripes has collected all the wrappers he needs, everyone has chewed so much gum they're sick of it! And after all their hard work, the fabulous prize turns out to be ... more gum. STRIPES TAKES OFF Stripes runs away after Jack makes an offhand remark about a certain replaceable tiger. Concerned about Stripes and about the radio announcement that warns of a Bengal tiger on the loose, Marvin and Eddy set out to find Stripes and bring him back. Everyone is relieved when Stripes returns home and a lesson is learned about saying things that you don't mean.
The New Band; Eddy's Video
THE NEW BAND When Marvin's old tape machine breaks, he promises his friends that he'll find them a live band for their show. After a few phone calls, he locates a band - The Penguins Five! Unfortunately the birds turn out to be noisy and bothersome, and refuse to practice! Just when everyone has lost faith and expects them to fail, the band comes through, giving a brilliant performance. EDDY'S VIDEO Jack wants to make a television commercial for the carnival and asks Eddy to shoot it. It's a simple enough task, until the carnival animals start getting too ""hammy"" and stop listening to Eddy's direction. When he gives up in frustration his friends realize what they've done and rush to apologize for being so self-centered. Jack is left to make his own commercial his own way.
Elizabeth's Biggest Fan; The Visit
ELIZABETH'S BIGGEST FAN When everyone at the carnival share stories of fan mail they've received, Elizabeth bursts into tears. She has never received a fan letter in her whole life! In an effort to boost her spirits, Marvin and Eddy forge a fan letter. The well-meaning deception goes awry when Elizabeth is determined to meet the author of her touching letter. In discovering its origin, Elizabeth learns that caring friends are worth more than fans any day. THE VISIT A famous astronaut is scheduled to visit the carnival, and everyone attempts to create their most impressive act. Eddy suggests they just be themselves, but his message is lost in the excitement of space inspired props and costumes. In the end, there isn't anytime to perform for the astronaut, but they do have a brand new set of acts!
Marvin's Roommate; Stripes' Dental Fuss
MARVIN'S ROOMMATE While Stripes is having his cage repaired after an unfortunate accident, Marvin invites him to be his roommate. However, when the two friends don't discuss their frustrations about one another's living habits, sleep is lost and nerves become frayed. Luckily, all it takes is a little help from Eddy for the two to realize how strong their friendship is and how important it is to communicate. STRIPES' DENTAL FUSS Stripes has a toothache but is too afraid to go to the dentist, so his friends devise a way to get the dentist to come to him. Doctor and patient are equally terrified of each other, until Eddy convinces them they have nothing to fear. In the end, both of them learn the importance of not making judgments based on stereotypes.
Marvin's Suprise; Eddy Learns to Dance
MARVIN'S SUPRISE Overhearing innocent talk of cake and gifts and surprises, Marvin mistakenly assumes his friends are throwing him a surprise party for the anniversary of his joining the carnival. When the day comes and no party happens, a disappointed Marvin realizes he shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. Fortunately, Eddy is aware of his friend's disappointment and throws him a wonderful last minute party. EDDY LEARNS TO DANCE When Marvin offers to teach Eddy how to dance, he quickly learns his friend has two left feet. Eddy becomes discouraged and wants to quit but Marvin keeps his spirits up and teaches him that you've just got to keep trying. Eddy finally masters the steps and performs with Marvin to the acclaim of his friends.
Visit to Grandma's; Gone Fishing

Eddy's friends are afraid of Grandma's reaction, until they realize that she's actually very understanding and a lot of fun too. GONE FISHING Everyone's been working very hard so Jack gives them a day off. The friends set off for a nice afternoon of fishing and picnicking.
