[Summer] "Potlatch Problem."

Oh, the spirits are on their way.
I'm so excited I could bear roar!

[roars]

This will be the best potlatch yet.
Wait. There they are.

I'm doing my present dance.

[laughter]

Dad will be giving away
our potlatch gift any minute.

I hope you have a sweet tooth.

Oh, I've got a sweet tooth,
a stick tooth and a "tooth" tooth.

Thluck tucks have teeth
for every occasion.

Ooh, I hope the gift is jam. [giggles]

Tricksters love jam. [slurps]

So do moms. Yum.

Well, it's your lucky day.
It's jam! [chuckles]

Our Skycedar family recipe is made
from wanáy'x mountain huckleberries.

You can't grow them in California, so they
had to be specially delivered. Cool, huh?

Yes, yes, yes!

I've always wanted to try those.

Wait. We're giving away all of our jam?

Darn tootin'.

Huckleberries are a big deal
for us Cowlitz and we wanna be good hosts.

But it's so yummy.

At least let me have
a little bit of jam for myself.

Okay, but just a taste.

Hey!

Mm... When I said I wanted
a little jam for myself,

I meant I wanted a lot of jam for myself.

Mm, yum-yum.

Summer, you're supposed to share the jam.

But why would I share it
if it tastes so good?

When I was a kid, I loved giving
homemade treats to friends at potlatches.

-It feels good to share.
-All right. Here you go.

-Yum.
-Thanks, Summer.

-That did feel good.
-[Dad] Great.

Because that's not the only sharing
we'll be doing today. Hey, friends.

Ready for your gift?

[cheering]

Fishy joy!

[grand music builds]

-What?
-[all gasping]

That wooden cart is beautiful! [giggles]

This was full of huckleberry jam jars.

Now it's full of something tricky...

and sticky.

Raven and raccoon prints? And carrots?
Looks like the work of the Trickster Trio.

At least they left
a teeny bit of jam behind.

[slurps and swallows]

-[hiccups] Oops.
-[laughter]

Us tricksters may love jam,
but it sure gives us the hiccups.

[laughs]

We'll find that jam.

This is a job for the Spirit Rangers.
Come on.

[upbeat music playing]

♪ Let's go, Spirit Rangers

Follow those sticky prints!

[propulsive music playing]

Trickster Trio, I know you're in here.
Give us the jam back!

[Raven] If it's jam you want,
it's jam you'll get!

[screaming]

-Ugh!
-[splat]

Oh, I've been hit.

[slurps] Mm!

Jammy.

Jam slam. Everybody scram!

Turtle dive!

[grunts]

Bear crawl.

Summer slide. [calls]

Phew.

I'm glad that's over.

Over? It's not over
till the jam cannon sings.

-[gasping]
-Jam 'em, Raven.

[screaming]

[screaming]

Uh-oh.

[tense music builds]

[splat]

Now we're really in a jam.

We're stuck. [grunts]

I can't even move my turtle toes.

You'll never get away with this,
Trickster Trio!

We just kicked out the jams.

You're never getting
your jam back, Rangers!

[cackles]

[Raven caws]

I think I'll give myself a reward
for a prank well done.

Hey!

If you eat all the jam,
the Rangers will get free!

Yeah, there's lots of jam to eat
in our hideout.

[singsong] Now, let's hop out of here
so I can get my grub on.

The jam is too sticky. I can't get out.

Today's your lucky day.

While the jam was flying,
I was hiding, like a true hero.

Remember I said tricksters love jam?

[chomps, swallows]

Great idea, Xuxa'w.

If you eat all the jam, we'll be free.

-I hope you're hungry.
-I was born hungry.

[Coyote gobbling]

-[giggles]
-[straining]

-Hurray!
-Yeah!

[slurps]

[straining]

[grunts]

-[screams]
-[thud]

We're as free as birds. [calls merrily]

It's not easy being a hero. [burps]

Now, how do we find the rest of Dad's jam?

[hiccups]

Oh! [chuckles]

That's the biggest hiccup
I've ever done! [laughs]

[hiccups]

Hiccups.
If the Trickster Trio is eating jam,

I bet they have the hiccups too.
I can use my turtle toes to find them.

That's as silly as it is genius.

[ancestral music playing]

[hiccups in distance]

[hiccuping]

[giggles] I can feel
their hiccups in my toes.

We can rescue the leftover jam
and save Dad's potlatch. Let's go.

Good thinking, boss.

That was the most delicious
jam heist ever! [hiccups]

Oh, you said it. [hiccups]

Hey, Trickster Trio.
We need that jam for the potlatch.

Too late. [hiccups]

We ate it all!

-What?
-No!

Wait, I have the perfect replacement.

-Bug jam.
-Yuck.

[chuckles nervously] Thanks, 'Onokok,

but I'm not sure everyone at the potlatch
will find bug jam as delicious as you do.

Eh, it's an acquired taste.

Ugh!

Mm.

We could make our own huckleberry jam
to replace what the Trickster Trio ate.

[gasps]

You can make your own jam?
With your own one, two, four paws?

Ha! I thought the only way
to get it was to steal it.

Dad taught us how.

If we knew
where to find huckleberry bushes,

we could make all the jam we wanted.

We may not be in Cowlitz territory,

but I know exactly where all
of Spirit Park's huckleberry bushes are.

You do?

What can I say? I love shrubbery.

We can show you as long as you make us
more of that delicious jam.

Well, it's not like we have
a lot of options.

Let's do it.

Almost...

-[screaming]
-[danger music playing]

[Summer] Gotcha.

Whoa!

Thanks, Summer.

And... Raven?

Don't mention it.

No, really. Don't mention this to anyone.

Eddy, fresh huckleberries coming right up.

Berry bull's-eye, Kodi.

[grunting rhythmically]

I love mashing things,
but it takes so long.

I know a way
we can mash it a little faster.

Stone Cold, give me a boost.

Stone Cold turtle toss!

Emergency orca!

Aah!

Hey!

Well, I did mush them faster.

[ominous music playing]

Could someone else stir this jam?
I'm getting really hot up here.

Let me give it a whirl. Wind blast.

-[calls]
-[wind blowing]

[screaming]

Eddy, Kodi, catch the jam!

-Got it.
-We missed some.

[yawns]

Mm!

Huckleberry jam?

Tastes just like my volcano mama
in Cowlitz territory used to make.

There. That should be
enough jam for everybody.

Thank you for your help, Trickster Trio.
Dad's potlatch is saved.

And now we'll take our jam.

-Huh?
-[ominous music playing]

-What?
-Our jam.

You made the jam,
and now we're stealing it.

-[laughing evilly]
-Ooh.

You shouldn't have,
but we're glad you did. Bye!

Stop. You can't take all of the jam.
We made it to share.

"Sh... are"?
I've never heard that word before.

Why would I share?

Sharing makes people happy.
And it feels good.

I learned that lesson from the potlatch,
and you can too. Come on, give it a try.

-I don't know.
-Mm-hmm.

[birds chirping]

Jam for you.

And for you.

And for me.

[clears throat]

I mean, and for you.

This huckleberry jam is
the best potlatch gift ever.

Thank you, Trickster Trio.

You know what?
That actually felt kind of nice.

It did feel nice to sha... re. Who knew?

I feel warm and fuzzy,
and not just because I'm a rabbit.

Rangers, you saved my potlatch.

Get over here.

This means so much to me, kiddos.
Thank you.

The huckleberry jam is a big hit.

Jammy jam!

Yum!

Tasty!

This is so good!

Next potlatch, we should see
how the spirits like Chumash qhayas jam.

Genius. Elderberries are delicious.

But for today, I want you kids to have
your own jars of huckleberry jam.

It's my potlatch gift to you.

Thanks, Dad.

Eddy's ready for jam.

Huh?

It's full of carrots? But where's our jam?

Ha! You were right,
sharing does feel good.

Especially if it's pranks.

Remember, you'll never out-trick
the Trickster Trio.
