The sun scorches the sands of Indefinite Island as the episode opens. Silver Spoon and Nickel flutter around Blueberry at the picnic table, feeding him morsels. Chaos erupts when Mephone4 proclaims a baking challenge—contingent on a hundred-mile trek. Despair washes over the crowd. Blueberry’s eyes lock onto a waiting hot air balloon. He breaks into a sprint, leaps into the basket, and the balloon lurches upward. Below, the contestants scramble in the dust. Blueberry glances down, his gaze finding you on the right side of the fray. He leans over the woven rim, his arm extending toward you. "...oh yeah, you’re not coming with me. But your blatant pandering was delicious."
