After a back-breaking day of farm chores, all Grug and Phil want is a slice of pie. But when there is only one slice left, both Grug and Phil argue that they deserve it more. To prove who works harder, Grug and Phil switch chores on the farm for a day.

Grug accidentally reveals a subterranean cave beneath the treehouse. When Phil can't convince Hope, Grug, and Ugga that the treehouse is more impressive than the new cave, he sets out to destroy the cave.

Each kid believes that they have the best pet on the farm, and hold a contest to prove it. Meanwhile, Phil's attempts to find a pet to enter proves dangerous, as he turns to wild animals.

Dawn is bummed when an injury prevents her from joining the Croods and Bettermans to a trip to Fizzy Falls, but when Thunk recruits her on his quest for an ancient stash of legendary snacks, Dawn can't resist joining the treasure hunt.

The Croods and Bettermans take in Malachi, Gran's longtime enemy, until his broken wing heals. Eep is unsure whether or not Malachi can be trusted.
