Bear then invites his friends over to the Big Blue House for a fall-themed party.

Bear explains to Ojo that everything in nature is connected and that the changing seasons are an important part of that cycle.

Back at the Big Blue House, Tutter and Ojo help finish making the pumpkin muffins while Bear helps Pip and Pop rake up a big pile of leaves. They take turns jumping into the pile and having fun.
