The episode begins with the fwagon, being driven by Hop Pop, passing through a valley, while Sprig and Anne and Sub-Zero are inside watching a series on Anne's cell phone

Mariah: Don't you get it, Mother? I know you want me to be a ballerina, but my heart belongs to hip‐hop.

 She performs a brief breakdance

Mariah: Are you disappointed?

Mariah's Mother: No, I'm proud of you. 

Mariah's Mother/Anne/Sub-Zero: All that hipping and hopping was breathtaking.

Mariah: Oh, Mother.

Mariah's Mother: Oh, Mariah.

Anne and Sub-Zero starts crying

Anne: And that is the masterpiece, From Pointe to Poppin.

Sprig: Talk about an emotional roller coaster.

Sub-Zero: Right, this movie gets Anne every time--

The fwagon stops abruptly and Sprig falls

Sprig: Whoa!

Anne: Sprig! You all right, buddy? 

Sub-Zero: What the heck is going on out there?

Hop Pop: Come on, Bessie. Come on.

Bessie: *chirps*

Hop Pop: Almost there.

Bessie: *chirps*

Bessie's reins break

All gasps

Hop Pop: Oh, dang it! The ding‐dang reins snapped.

*sheepbug bleats*

He sees a sheepbug

Bessie: *chirps*

He goes to the sheepbug

Sheepbug: *bleats*

The sheep runs, being chased by Bessie

He screams

Hop Pop: We gotta get these reins fixed or we can't control Bessie.

Sprig: Don't worry, Hop Pop. There's a town right down the road. See? Ribbitvale.

Hop Pop: Ribbitvale? The most expensive town in all Amphibia? No way!

All screams

Anne: Looks like we don't have a choice, HP.

Bessie: *purrs*

Sheepbug: *bleats*

He sighs

Hop Pop: You're right. But when we get there, don't get sucked in by the fancy.

Sub-Zero: I make no promises.

They take the fwagon to the entrance of the city

Polly: Guys, look.

They see a lot of fancy buildings around them

Polly: So shiny. So sparkly.

She screams

Hop Pop: Hey! Hey! I said look away from the fancy.

Sub-Zero: And I said make no promises.

Sprig: It's like nothing I've ever seen before. A ten‐tier fountain. A solid gold snail carriage. There's even a One‐Eyed Wally. Wait. What?

All: One‐Eyed Wally?

Bessie: *chirps*

Anne: You didn't tell us you were leaving the valley, you scamp.

Wally: Oh, um‐‐

(???): Walliam, you know these pungent common folk, do you?

Wally: Uh, yes, Father. I met them on my business travels.

(???): These must be your servants from Wartwood then.

Hop Pop: Servants?

Wally: Yes. That's right, Father. These are my servants.

He groans

He referring to Anne and Sub-Zero

(???): And this must be some kind of exotic beast you tamed. Though I sooner would have had it stuffed.

They grunts

He laughs

(???): Anyhow, I am Wigbert Ribbiton.

Hop Pop: Ribbiton? As in Ribbiton's Ribbons? The finest web crusty floss in all of Amphibia?

Wigbert: That's us. And when I retire, Walliam here will be head of the Ribbiton family empire. Right, Walliam?

Wally: Right, Father. Can't wait for that.

He sighs

Anne/Sub-Zero: Hmm.

Wigbert: Hello. Looks like someone needs repairs. My mechanics will make her right as rain in no time.

Mechanics: Hup, hup, hup, hup.

Hop Pop: Oh, mighty kind of ya.

Wigbert: You'll be joining us back at the mansion, of course?

All: Mansion?

Wally: Oh, no. They couldn't‐‐

All: Oh, yes, we could.

Cut to the Ribbiton Manor

The door to the mansion opens

Wigbert: Here we are.

They walk towards the entrance of the mansion

Wigbert: Some of my prizewinning birds. Ever seen a frog torn in half by a peacock? Grizzly stuff.

*peacock shrieks*

Inside the mansion

Wigbert: It's, uh, one of our smaller rooms but please enjoy.

The plantar and Anne and Sub-Zero enter Wally's bedroom

Anne: What the heck, Wally?

All gasps

Hop Pop: This place is magnificent.

Sub-Zero: What happened to "Look away from the fancy?"

Hop Pop: It don't count if ya don't have to pay for it.

Sprig: Hey, let's go explore.

Hop Pop: Okay.

All laughs

Anne: So... Walliam, what's going on here? I thought you were a fun‐loving tramp, not some little rich boy.

Wally: The truth is I live like a bum in Wartwood because... Well, it's what I love. This life may look nice but there's so many rules. And if my family knew the real me, well, they'd disown me for sure.

Sub-Zero: That's just frog abuse.

Anne: Just be honest with them. Tell them the truth and I know they'll support you. Just like my favorite movie From Pointe to Poppin'.

He grunts

He pulls his accordion out of a hole in the floor

Wally: It's just too risky, Anne and Sub-Zero. I have to hide these around the house, or I'd lose my mind.

Sub-Zero: What about that time you told me not to care what people think about you?

Wally: This is different. This is my family we're talking about.

Anne: I still think you should be honest with them. I mean, what do you have to lose?

Wally: Well, come with me and I'll show you.

He walks and bumps into the wall

Wally: Meant to do that.

Anne: Yeah, yeah. Of course.

The Plantar are walking down the hallway

Polly: Welp, we're lost. Probably gonna be stuck here forever.

Sprig: Oh, I know. Let's just open some doors at random. One of them's gotta be an exit.

They open a door and see that in the room there are several frogs taking a steam bath

Frog #1: *groaning*

Hop Pop: Sorry, we're just‐‐ Carry on.

He closes the door

They open another door

All gasps

In the room there's some broken furniture and there's three frogs hitting a chair with bats

She kicking the chair to pieces

Female Frog: Hi‐ya!

They close the door

They open another door. In the room there are several peacocks

Peacock: *shrieks*

One of the peacocks turns and turns out to be a frog in disguise

Frog #2: Shh.

All sighs

They leaves

Anne and Sub-Zero and Wally enter a stable

*horse whinnies*

Wally: So much of my past is here. It would break my heart to leave it all behind.

He opens one of the doors

Beetle: *chirps*

Wally: Meet Fiddle Leaf. I've been riding her since I was a wee tadpole.

Anne/Sub-Zero: Aw.

They sees a picture of Wally and his beetle from years ago then see Wally with his Beetle

Anne: Ugh. Well, if you're not gonna tell 'em, what are you gonna do?

Wally: Maybe if they could see how happy I was living in Wartwood, they'd understand and accept me for who I am.

He groans

Wally: Who am I kidding. Well, I better go get ready for dinner.

Anne: Right. Dinner.

Wally leaves. The plantar come in

Sub-Zero: Hey, where you guys been?

Sprig & Hop Pop: Around.

Polly: Rich people are messed up.

Anne: Dude, I've just spent the last hour talking with Wally about how miserable he is. Well, tonight I'm gonna help him come clean.

Sprig: Oof. Are you sure meddling is a good idea?

Anne: Pfft. It's not meddling. It's the right thing to do because it happened in a movie. And movies are never wrong.

Sub-Zero: Yes they are, all the time.

Sprig: Okay.

Later, in the dining room

*chattering*

Frog: I hear the market has really taken off.

He clears throat

Wigbert: A toast to Walliam's valet.

He shrieks

All shrieks

They clears throat

Anne: Great segue. To thank you Ribbitons for your hospitality, I have prepared a special presentation.

Frog: It talks. Oh, capital.

Anne: Gonna ignore that. Now, please enjoy this video of Wally's life in Wartwood. Edited by me, also thanks to Sub-Zero for teaching me to edit.

Sub-Zero blushed

Sub-Zero: Oh, stop.

She plays a video on her cell phone

Wally: Wait. What?

*beeps*

First is seen Wally playing the accordion

Wally: ♪ Oh, I'm a vagrant With a heart of gold ♪

He falls

Wally: Aw. Whoop.

 *cat yowls*

There's another video where Wally's in a chicken coop with some chickens

Anne/Sub-Zero: Wally.

Wally: What can I say? I sleep better with company.

Another video is seen where Wally is bathing in a pool

Wally: ♪ La la la la laa La la laa ♪

*whistle blows*

Wally: Ooh. Gotta go.

He laughs

He falls

Cops: Oy, oy, oy!

The cops beat up Wally

The video ends

Anne: Cue emotional acceptance.

He clears throat

Wigbert: Walliam! That is how you've been acting outside of Ribbitvale? Unacceptable. You have brought shame onto the house of Ribbiton. Worse. You've been lying to us.

Wally: I‐I only lied because I didn't think you'd accept the real me.

Wigbert: Well, you weren't wrong. We do not accept this. You are henceforth forbidden to leave this town.

He gasps

Wally: Then you leave me no choice.

Wally takes off his ribbon, rolls it up on a fork and spins it around the table

They screams

They gasps

The fork hits a gong

Anne: What? What does that mean?

Sprig: Family challenge.

Hop Pop: Come on, Anne and Sub-Zero. You've been here long enough.

Wally: If my family won't accept me for who I truly am, then I don't want to be a Ribbiton anymore. I challenge you to a winner‐takes‐all duel.

Wigbert: Very well. One‐on‐one Beast Polo. You win, you can leave Ribbitvale and live however you like. You lose, you take over the family business and stay in Ribbitvale forever.

Butler Frog: *gasps*

Wally: I accept.

They groans

Anne: Kinda went off script there.

Sub-Zero: I knew this would happen.

In the hallways

Wally: Why did you do that?

Sub-Zero: You told us this is what you wanted. You said, "I wish I could see me in Wartwood."

Wally: But I didn't actually mean it.

Anne: Look, I just wanted to help you be proud of who you are. A poppin' lockin' fresh don't stoppin' hip‐hop B‐girl.

Wally: A what?

Anne: Never mind. What can We do to fix this?

Wally: You know what Anne and Sub-Zero, you've done enough already. I've got to face the music on my own.

He leaves, playing the accordion

*music plays*

Anne/Sub-Zero: Ugh.

At the polo field

Crumpet: Hi‐ho, Crumpet the Frog here, and welcome to the official Ribbiton family challenge. A ribbiting game of Beast Polo. Hey, see what I did there? Ribbiting, riveting? Because we're frogs?

Hop Pop: Well, this guy's quite the character.

Crumpet: Okay. Here comes the ball now!

Polly: I don't see any‐‐

Sub-Zero: Come on Wally you can do this for Wartwood and for life--

Wally's dad takes off his fake eye and puts it on a pad

All gasps

He groans

Crumpet: And now the players will pick their beasts.

Wigbert: I choose Andromeda.

Beetle: *grunts*

Wally: And I choose Fiddle Leaf.

Beetle: *chirps*

Wigbert: Not so fast. Fiddle Leaf is a Ribbiton family beast. Since you no longer wish to be a Ribbiton, you can't ride any of them.

Wally: Well, then what am I supposed to ride?

Anne: I'll be your beast!

Wigbert: What in heavens?!

Wally: Anne?

Anne: Look. If you're gonna go down, you might as well go down fighting. Plus, I got you into this. At least let me try to get you out.

Wally: All right. You know how to do this?

Anne: No, but I'll figure it out.

Wally: Well, here. Put this bit in your mouth.

He gives Anne a rein

Anne: Not happening, bud.

Crumpet: Okay, fellas. Let's keep this game cool and friendly‐like. Three, two, one. Ee‐eee!

Wigbert: Hiya!

*nickers*

Wigbert: Hiyah!

Crumpet: Crump Sir Ribbiton has scored the first goal.

*crowd cheering*

Wally: Turns out dad's still got it. We might be in trouble.

Anne: Well, then come on. Let's step up our game and demolish this old man.

Wally: Steady. He's still my dad.

Anne: Sorry, I'm just so competitive.

The ball is put on the field

Anne: Ready?

Wally: Ready.

*whistle blows*

Crumpet: That beast may be small, but it sure is agile. A goal for Walliam.

He grunts

*crowd cheering*

It's seen moments in the game where sometimes Anny and Wally score, and other times Wally's dad does

Crumpet: All right, folks. This is it. Next goal wins.

Anne with Wally and Wally's dad run in the field, but Anne stumbles

She falls

She grunts

He laughs

Wally: Oh, no!

He throws the ball

He grunts

The ball bounces off a goalpost

*Andromeda whinnies*

He grunts

Wally: Ah. He missed.

Anne: Second wind.

Wally: Come on, Anne. We're so close.

Anne: He's too fast. We'll never make it.

Wally: That's what you think.

He pulls his accordion out of Anne's hair

Anne: Wally, how long has that been there?

He chuckles

Wally: A season at least.

Wally uses his accordion to hit the ball before his dad gets it

He gasps

Crumpet: Goal! Walliam wins.

*crowd cheering*

Hop Pop: Ooh. They won!

Sub-Zero: You did it!

Anne & Wally: We did it!

Wally: I can finally be myself.

Hop Pop: Can't be yourself without your signature hat.

Wigbert: Ow!

He clears throat

Wigbert: Well, son, I concede defeat. I suppose this means goodbye forever.

He sobs

 Wally: I don't want to leave forever. I just want to be able to be me, wherever I am.

He hugs his dad

Wigbert: You mean you still want to be a Ribbiton?

Wally: Of course, I do. But you have to accept me for who I am. Both Walliam and Wally.

Wigbert: I suppose we can do that. Ah, accordion, eh? You know, I used to love playing the jug, but I gave it up a long, long time ago. Oh, all right. You got me.

He grunts

He reveals a hole in the field where he was hiding jugs

Wally: You've been holding out on me.

Crumpet: Aw. Isn't this great? I just love happy endings. What do you say? How about a song? Always works for me.

Wigbert: I don't see why not.

Wally: Thanks, Anne and Sub-Zero, for everything. Well, not everything.

Anne: Don't mention it.

Sub-Zero: You're welcome.

Wally: Hit it, Pops.

Wally and his dad start playing

A peacock appears

Peacock: *shrieks*

All screams
