Avast ye landlubbers! Things take a swashbuckling turn when Rob and the gang set out across the lake to help Marnie Beaver make some pies, but proceed to get captured by pirates! Or - more specifically - Pie-Rats! The dreaded Captain Ratzberry and his band of pernicious Pie-Rats want to know the whereabouts of Marnie's pies, and will stop at nothing to get them! How are the gang going to get out of this one?

Rob and Abbie plan a race for the animals up Mount Cottonwood, but it doesn't take long for the racers to start getting distracted. Who will win? Find out in this episode of Tales from Cottonwood Trails!

A simple game of charades descends into total chaos after Morton turns up - wrapped in a fuzzy blanket - to show off his precious stick collection. Can Rob restore some much needed order?

Agent Double O Zero, the worlds best spy (who bears a striking resemblance to Morton the badger) comes face to face with his arch nemesis, the dastardly Dr. Vilus, in this gripping tale of espionage and crimes against humor, but, back in Cottonwood Trails, Morton doesn't feel quite so smooth and accomplished when he tries to run an errand for Ranger Abbie and feels like he's failing left, right, and center.

Step right up! It's the annual Cottonwood Trails carnival! But all is not quite fun and games for Rosie, Oz and Morton, after Rosie accidentally soaks Skud the Wolverine at the water shooting game. Their day then becomes a series of hair-raising interactions with Skud as he tries to get his revenge on them. Rosie and Oz take action by turning to Rob for help, while Morton, on the other hand, has no idea what's going on!

After the local creek floods, leaving the animals' brand new park under water, everyone's feeling pretty despondent, so Rob tells them a story to teach them how they can find the positives, and be thankful, even in the midst of tough circumstances.

In this second instalment, Rob realizes that Morton does in fact have a talent he can bring to the team - his ability to distract those around him - but will it be enough to help them win the day? Find out in part 2 of Cottonwood Trails - The Cold Conflict!

In part one of this wintery two-part episode, the gang get challenged to a game of Capture the Flag by Skud the Wolverine and his rebel crew, but, as the snowballs start to fly, Morton comes to the realisation that he doesn't have any talents he can contribute to the team!
