Short synopsis:
Whilst resting, the Fantasia are attacked by flying Birdboys. Their food is stolen, but more importantly the solar converter goes missing. The Birdboys’ camp is searched, but the converter is not found. Garland suggests that Ozul and Maska must be nearby, but Timon suggests something altogether more worrying – that Yves could have taken it. Yves is accused of treason to the Fantasia, but is Timon right? Is he hiding something himself?

Full episode recap:
After travelling for many days, the Fantasia set up camp to rest. Whilst practising a new routine, Yves takes Garland aside, and tells her that he plans to marry Maddie when they return to Solis – Garland is dismayed at this idea. Whilst Tane is keeping guard, the Fantasia are attacked from the air by Birdboys – feral boys with mechanical wings, enabling flight. They steal all the food supplies, and Tane, Yves, Garland and Timon run after them. Yves twists his ankle, however, and must stay at the camp. When the others return, they discover to their horror that the solar converter has gone.

Leaving it until morning, Maddie, Tane, Garland, Boomer and Timon go and confront the Birdboys at their camp. They admit to stealing the food, but say they know nothing of the converter. Garland suggests that Ozul and Maska must be nearby, but Timon disregards this, and has a much more sinister idea. He suggests that whilst at camp with a broken ankle, Yves took it, and has sold it to pay off his debts. Not quite believing Timon, Garland makes her way back to camp, broaching this to Maddie, who immediately dismisses the thought. Boomer, on the other hand, has found a pair of mechanical wings. He goes flying, but soon spots Ozul and Maska. Perched high in a tree, he overhears them talking about the solar converter.

Meanwhile, at camp, Lilith tries to engage Eden in a game of hide and seek, whilst Goneril tends to Yves’ ankle. Quickly, Lilith runs back carrying the converter – when they open the box, though, it is empty, except for a bag of money. When asked where she found it, Lilith is reluctant to say – she found it in her dad, Yves’ bunk. When Maddie hears of this, she calls for an immediate parley. The Fantasia agree that if Yves returns the converter, he can keep the money. If not, he will be ‘made’ to talk, and then ‘expelled’ from the Fantasia. Yves is shocked that the Fantasia could accuse him of this, and pleads that he has been set-up. At this point, Boomer tells Garland that he saw someone with Ozul and Maska – Timon.

Boomer secretly releases Yves, and the two of them go and confront Ozul and Maska. With the help of a Birdboy, they manage to recover the converter, just as it is about to be transported to the Nennog for destruction. Boomer returns the converter to Maddie on the condition that Yves is fully forgiven, and the Birdboys are given food as thanks. The converter safely returned, Maddie tells Garland that she is too ashamed to ever marry Yves, and that also she does not feel ready for such a commitment. The Fantasia begin preparations to continue.

Ozul and Maska, meanwhile, speak to the Nennog, apologising for not having obtained the converter. The Nennog asks to speak to their new accomplice – Timon steps forward, promising the Nennog that he will not fail in his mission again.
