Lemonade gets a call at the agency from one of the neighborhood kids, inviting her to play later. Lemonade tries to invite Tobin, and he explains that the kids harass and bully him daily. Lemonade decides that it’s time to break down the wall between Tobin and the other kids and drags him along. After a few minutes of tense awkwardness, Tobin and Lemonade join the game, and things go smoothly. Tobin thinks that Lemonade might be getting her stride back.
Mrs. Dickerson calls Tobin and Lemonade to report a nest in the woods, complete with a roof, which she has seen from a distance. They stop at Mr. Harold’s house first, arguing along the way about whether Bigfoot might like Twinkies or not. Three of the neighborhood kids join the investigation, meeting Tobin and Lemonade at Mr. Harold’s house to research a sighting in the woods.
At Mr. Harold’s, the kids go into the woods and split up to investigate. Lemonade and her new friend Eliza go one way, and the boys go another. When they meet up again, the boys profess that something is following them, and Eliza starts to cry.
