WeatherViolet14 September 2010
First, in the City, Curious George helps Chef Pisghetti and Netti with their garden on a rooftop, they showing Curious George plans to expand the garden somehow. But first, Chef Pisghetti harvests tomatoes, eggplants and garlic in order to make the perfect meatless "Jardeno" burger.

For the first time in the series, Netti is identified as the wife of Chef Pisghetti, making her Netti Pisghetti, but anyway, she and Curious George continue to assist Chef Pisghetti in the kitchen, as he dices onions to form the perfect recipe for vegetarian "Jardeno" burgers.

And once Netti and Curious George tell Chef Pisghetti that the results are perfect to cater these for Rescue Squad 86's picnic, Chef Pisghetti asks Curious George to set a pizza box of Jardeno burgers onto his truck so that he may deliver them to Rescue Squad 86.

But outside, Curious George begins to speak with Gnocchi, Chef Pisghetti's pet Cat, and then he sets the pizza box into the rear of the wrong truck, whose driver and passenger immediately drive away, causing Curious George to run to wave them down in order to capture their attention, but to no avail.

So, Curious George tells Gnocchi, Chef Pisghetti's pet Cat, that he sees no reason to tell Chef Pisghetti about the mix-up. After all, Curious George had no way of knowing that there would be two truck out back, so Curious George and Gnocchi, Chef Pisghetti's pet Cat, climb onto the rooftop garden in the hopes of duplicating Chef Pisghetti's recipe.

Well, Curious George turns to the wrong page and attempts to create Jardeno burgers from dirt and fertilizer, using Chef Pisghetti's plans to expand the garden instead. He then fills a pizza box with dirt burgers to slide onto the rear Chef Pisghetti's truck to deliver to Rescue Squad 86 for their picnic.

Now, Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat attend Rescue Squad 86's picnic, along with Chef Pisghetti and Netti, when The Fire Chief and Andie, Stig, and Stew, Firefighter members of Rescue Squad 86, sample Curious George's dirt burgers, the reaction, of which, causes Chef Pisghetti to announce his retirement from cooking.

So, will Netti, Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat be able to save the day after discovering "The Truth About George Burgers?"

-----

Next, in the Country, on a rainy day, Curious George and Jumpy Squirrel play outdoors around lots of puddles, and with a rubber ball, which Curious George manages to lose, but soon finds after it rolls into a cave and lands in the dark.

Well, Curious George has never before seen the inside the cave, but neither can he see anything inside the cave, and so he cannot locate his missing ball.

Now, back at the Country house, the Man with the Yellow Hat is baking his famous banana walnut cake, but Curious George doesn't want to help, so he instead locates the flashlight and carries it outdoors, to invite Jumpy Squirrel into cave, but Jumpy Squirrel doesn't want to go inside.

But, inside the cave, Curious George discovers a new playground with rocks, a stream, and stalagmites, projecting upward from the base of the limestone cave, where he plays with shadows created from the beams of the flashlight and soon discovers his ball, but then accidentally knocks the flashlight from the stalagmite with the ball, losing both, and is now truly afraid of the dark.

So, Curious George returns to his room, to jump onto his bed with his teddy bear, when the Man with the Yellow Hat enters to turn out the lights for the night, causing Curious George to become afraid once he awakens in the drafty shadows.

Well, the Man with the Yellow Hat awakens to discover nearly every light in the house turned on, and so he turns them off, while Curious George follows him to turn them back on. So, the Man with the Yellow Hat gives Curious George a night light, explaining that there's nothing to fear, or at least not until the storm causes the power to go out, possibly for four days and four nights.

And when the Man with the Yellow Hat looks for his flashlight, it is missing because Curious George has left it in the cave! So, the next morning, Curious George takes the leftover walnuts to leave a trail for Jumpy Squirrel to follow him into the cave so that he would not have to search alone, and once before its entrance, the rain causes Jumpy Squirrel to follow Curious George into the cave.

Well, when Mr. Quint arrives inside to step out of the rain, too, thus causing tremendous fear in Jumpy Squirrel, but not in Curious George, because now they have two flashlights and the ball, so it's pretty silly for Jumpy Squirrel to feel fear, but not Curious George now that they are able to find their way back to the kitchen, with Mr. Quint, to sample the Man with the Yellow Hat's banana walnut cake, but can this ease the tensions of Jumpy Squirrel and "Curious George in the Dark?"
