Rumpel gets excited, and Nils tries to calm Rumpel down by saying they will find a way to get rid of her. However, Rumpel is happy with her being there, as it's an honor for a Grouch to have a junk fairy living in their junk garden.

However, just as Rumpel has complained about the hard work to Nils, the fairy awards Rumpel with 1 out of 5 points for having a good junk garden. Rumpel doesn't get to celebrate for long, though; the fairy has found some old hubcaps that could be a little rustier and the fairy has decided that she will stay for another night. Rumpel is unsure what he thinks about it. Nils tries to convince Rumpel that now that he has received one junk point, they should try and get rid of the fairy. Nils tries to be nice towards the fairy and asks her politely to leave; however, she likes the place too much to leave, but thinks it could use some good Grouchy music.
