Ep 23. Pie Hard

Big City Greens season 3 episode 23, titled "Pie Hard," follows the misadventures of a brother and sister duo, Cricket and Tilly Green, as they embark on yet another escapade in the bustling metropolis.

In "Pie Hard," we see the Green family delving into the competitive world of baking. After Gramma Alice, the family matriarch, accidentally breaks her injured friend's prized pie dish, she and the rest of the Greens enter a high-stakes pie-baking contest to win a new dish and patch up their friendship.

However, their lack of baking know-how and stubbornness when it comes to following the recipe puts them at an immediate disadvantage. They try to rely on their natural creativity, but their experimental ingredients seem to keep backfiring on them. When they run out of ingredients, they have to venture out into the city to find more, getting lost in the process.

Meanwhile, the new pie dish's owner, a formidable elderly woman named Edna, is determined to win the contest herself and won't let anyone stand in her way. When she discovers that the Greens have entered, she sees red and is more determined than ever to win.

The Greens return to the kitchen, with Cricket and Tilly preparing for the big baking showdown, while their parents, Bill and Nancy, try to assist as best as they can. Hilarity ensues as the family's grudging collaboration turns into a full-blown food fight, with flour, sugar, and fruit flying everywhere.

Eventually, Cricket and Tilly manage to create a pie with a unique twist, which they hope will impress the judges and win them the contest. However, when Edna discovers what they've made, she gets even angrier and sabotages their creation.

Despite the setbacks, Cricket and Tilly refuse to give up and come up with a new plan. With their family's help, they whip up an even more impressive pie, with a dazzling combination of flavors and textures. As they present it to the judges, the tension is palpable.

In the end, it's a close call, with both the Green family and Edna creating impressive pies. But when the judges taste the Greens' creation, they are blown away by its sheer creativity and delectable taste. The family wins the contest and the coveted new pie dish, and they also manage to patch things up with their injured friend.

As the episode concludes, the Greens celebrate their victory with a big family dinner, where they enjoy each other's company and the delicious pies they've made. The show's signature mix of humor, heart, and hijinks make it a fun and enjoyable watch for viewers of all ages.
