So Todd, Juku and Cutiepie all went to Granite Falls.
The weather was awfully hot there. And Juku was awfully homesick too.
He cuddled Cutiepie a little for comfort and then crawled into the tent to cry.
The son got to pour his sad little heart out to dad.
And eventhough Todd was sick he left Juku and Cutiepie on their own at the base camp and went exploring the area.
Todd wasn't alone either. Had forest animals to keep him company.
There were quite a few unidentified plants out there, growing, a few ripe. Trying to identify them.
As he collected some insects he wanted to try roast them.
Oh no! Is the nightmare recurring!?
Phew! He got to put himself out in time.
Juku found dad and tried the roasted beetles too.

Then the gang headed into the Deep Forest to find the hermit's house.
More Granite Falls beauty on their way.
Once they made it there, no one was at the house. So Todd put Juku in bed. Todd himself tried fishing, catching bugs and harvesting local plants.

Later they went back to the forest ranger's cabin cause there were more plants there, still growing.
While they waited for the plants to ripen, they had some dad and son bonding time.
They both got a bit scared too in the middle of the woods in thunderstorm.
Cutiepie was a bit bolder and ran outside in the rain once it cleared up only a little.

Juku took the chance to catch up with mum while it was raining and they couldn't do much.
Todd felt too cooped up in the forest too and cut off.
He knew Kylli didn't like the woods much though. Plus if she came, JT would have had to come aswell and he got horribly homesick too. So...
Todd found someone off of the dating app. Christine Pack. Juku had gone exploring out of Granite Falls a little and was off the lot so Todd had all the opportunities with Christine. Well, there was no place to woohoo though.
So just a kiss happened.
Juku got back before more stuff could happen. So Todd sent the lady away and everything was done.
