Ma and Pa Gorg leave Junior alone in the castle overnight for the first time; he has to protect the crown jewel. Gobo thinks that all the Gorgs have left, so he plans to map the castle, and ends up leading an expedition to explore the castle when Wembley decides (a final choice, for once) to come along. He keeps worrying about the Gorgs planning to eat him. The other Fraggles pull a prank during the episode by sounding like a ghost, then they enter the castle. Boober tries to find the Gorg pantry, and they think a grandfather clock is a Gorg closet, so they store a "shiny black ball" (a crown jewel) in it. Junior Gorg finds the Fraggles after making some garlic popcorn. Gobo spots a moving shadow outside, and the Fraggles set a trap. They catch Pa Gorg, who is pround of Junior for fulfilling the Gorgish rites of passage.
Notes
- This episode refers to events that occured in the second season episode "Sir Hubris and the Gorgs." In that episode, Gobo discovered a new passage into the Gorgs castle.
- In this episode, Doc invents a ghost detector (he tells Ned Shimmelfinney the truth: the detector is a fake that he made to make Sprocket feel safe) and it goes off due to a short circuit. It is unknown why Doc made the phony detector in such a way that it really could go off.
