Linda heads into the forest to search for a time capsule she hid when she was 10, and meets the mysterious Pig Man, who may know more about the capsule than he's letting on.

Linda receives a visit from her sister, who's furious at her for leaving. Meanwhile, The Verderer comes up with a way to stop the developers: living in a tree.
It's Eel Festival eve, and Linda joins up with Joy and the Eel sisters to help with the final preparations. But she soon starts feeling guilty about her big secret.
