Now, I know that Shatanya's salon is a far drive from home,
but, you know, some folks would say
your mother is a rock!
I am there for a lot of people,
and some days, I need a little self care,
and your mama's gotta get her box braids lookin' right.
It's gonna be a long day,
so everybody's gotta be a team player!
I'm talking to you, Craig.

Now, keep still, Miss Nicole.
So, anyway, I told her,
"Ashley, you cannot have people in my house
making Internet videos about avocado smoothies,
leaving a mess all over my new couch!"
I said, "Good gravy! This is too much
for your mom to clean up --
for free."
You ever have that happen, Miss Nicole?
Well, I-- Keep still!
Now, I'm not gonna tell you again.
But, girl, isn't that crazy?
If Shatanya loses her hair license,
then she'll have to go back to business school,
and then she won't be able to do braids anymore,
and it'll just be a big mess!
Craig, don't you think?
Mm-hmm.
Craig, can I color, too?
You know, normally, I'd say yes.
'Cause you're very diligent.
Like, you could do all the sky parts.
But this time, I'm like...no.
This is the master version of my map.
It has to be absolutely perfect!

[ Dejectedly ] I remember when I had things to do.
Mom told us to bring an activity
'cause this was gonna take a while.
I brought my map, and you brought a doll
you lost interest in when you were 2.
So you chose poorly.
I'm so bored.
I'm...slipping...away.
Yay! Yay!
[ Gasps ]
And she says, "Mom,
all I need is 1 million subscribers."
I told her, "Baby, I've had this salon for 15 years,
and I've only had 32 clients."
Mom, can I have a quarter for the rocket ride outside?
Oh, sure, sweetie.
Craig, get me my purse! I'm gonna need you
to take Jessica outside.
Aw! But my map!
Craig, be a team player!
[ Sighs ]
It's starting! It's starting!
Whoa-ho-ho!
Whoa!
Hey. Over already?
Well, life's greatest thrills
are worth the cost of a quarter.
Let 'er rip!
Whoo!
Craiggy, I need more money.
Mom only gave us two quarters.
Just use your imagination or something.
Hmm...
Pretend like this is fun.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Wow. I've landed on an alien planet.
The air here is so thick.
A sign of alien life!
Are you my mother?
Speak up when you talk to a lady!
I'll been in space so long, I'll forget your face.
And I'll forget my face! I'll forget...
how to kiss.
Wow. I've been so many places --

Boy: Raj, what's going on over there?
Some kid poked me, and it startled me!
Hey! Startling a ranger is a reportable offense.
I'm gonna need your name and number.
Whoa, whoa. I don't think this kid meant any harm.
Raj, you're not thinking straight.
You're too startled.
I think he needs our help.
You need help, kid?
Yeah! I lost my sister!
She's small with big hair,
and she would've grown up to get her hair done at Shatanya's,
but I wasn't a team player,
and now she's gone forever!
Uh-huh, uh-huh. Got it.
Okay, kid, we've got all the clues we need.
We can help you find your sister.
I'm Raj, and this is Shawn,
and we're the...
Both: Honeysuckle Rangers!

Uh...
I know, right? We're awesome.
Lucky you ran into us.
This creek has some real unsavory types

But we can get you outta this in a pinch.
We've got your back because
we're all friends here.
Don't worry, kid. We're excellent trackers.
Nothing gets past us in these ol' woods.
We've got information on everything out here --
tree leaves, footprints, bird calls,
in case she turns into a --
Well, you know what? It doesn't matter.
She's only been missing for less than 48 hours.
There's still a chance she hasn't turned into a bird...

Jessica!
[ Exhales deeply ] Jessica, are you out here?
Whoa!
What is this place?
This was the ancestral home
of the Knights of Wisteria.
But that was a long time ago.
They've all gone...
to high school now.
Okay, so we went about four backyards west...
What are you doing? Uh, making a map
to find my way back to the salon.
But what's on the back?
Oh, my master map.
Both: Whoa!
That's pretty impressive, my friend.
Uh, wait a minute. What are these places?
The Ivy Grove? The Splintery Butt?
The Junk Pile?!
This is all the stuff at the creek where I usually play.
Both: Oh.
Honeysuckle excuse us.
[ Whispering ] Raj, this kid is from
a whole other neighborhood.
[ Whispering ] I know. That's 295 and everything.
You know what?
He would love to see this.
I bet it would make up for...
that thing at the banquet.
It might.

who would really like to take a look at this.
After we find your sister,
can we show this to our...
friend?
Uh...yeah, sure. Who's your friend?

Craig! Jessica!
Jessica! Oh, I was so worried!
I thought we'd never find you!
When we get home, you're never allowed to play again!
Mwah! I'm so mad at you.
Mwah! If you got hurt, I'd be so sad!
Mwah! You're okay now.
Mwah! So now I'm mad again.
I'm more than okay.
I've been exploring the alien habitat, Craig!
But the logs here are smaller than the ones back home.
Guess I put on a few preschool pounds.
We'll help you get this jelly bean unstuck!
Don't you worry. The Honeysuckle Rangers
have unstuck bigger kids than you,
and they never, ever break in half.
I mean, there -- there was that one kid, Rob Saul --
Shh! We don't talk about him.
Craig: Those symbols.
They're like the ones from...
the overpass.
Is he the friend they want to show my map to?
All right, jelly bean, suck it in!

Whoa!

Put me back in and pop me out again!
Uh...you know what? Uh, we don't have time for that.
We should really be getting back.
Hey, wait!
I thought we could show your map to our friend.
Yeah... well, it's really
more of a work in progress, so...

It smells like toots!

I thought I told you not to come back here.
I didn't even know we were on the other side of the overpass.
My mom's... running errands.
Say no more. Errands are the worst.
Why'd you help us? You chased me before.
I didn't realize we were from the same side of the creek.
I was just keeping my oath.
This poncho protects me from rain and light winds,
but it also comes with a responsibility --
to guard the overpass and protect our side of the creek
from invaders who threaten playtime.
