Summary
TRIOMelissa fights her fear of flying to save Bert and Cedric. Will SmithBert and Cedric are fixing an old Helicopter. Schaeffer watches fatherly with Broo. However after a test flight a la Bert the helicopter is in need of a new "stabiliser" part. They both go back to the mansion to get it. In a lull Ralph asks Melissa if she'd like a flight and offers to "teach" Melissa how to use it but she declines (scared of flying).
For the entire episode Cyril has the pigs put the mansion on full security as he keeps getting notes from a former business partner. Cyril is scared because he left his old companion at a bad time in the company (prompting a brilliant as ever flashback) and one note says "Cyril I'm going to give you what you deserve." The full security surprises Bert and Cedric when they attempt to get into the mansion in an old way of Cedric's. They are stuck on a ledge which is rapidly shrinking. Ralph sends Broo to get help. Melissa cures her fear of flying when she flies the helicopter to save Cedric and Bert from the Cryil Sneer mansion security system. Against all odds she does it. Ralph (believed to be an expert pilot) is too scared to actually fly the helicopter, because he has never flown one before either, when help is needed.
In the end, the former business partner easily gets to Cyril because, upon noticing Cedric (primarily) and Bert trying to get into the mansion he orders security to be turned off. All the old partner wants to do is to give Cyril a share of the company since he sold it for millions and had always considered Cyril part of it. He thanks Cyril for helping him by realising there was not enough money in the company to employ both of them and so leaving. His share works out at about $10 because he left it at such a low time.
Cedric, Melissa, Bert and the pigs laugh at him as the credits kick in. |
