It's the first day of high school, and Fuzzy's teacher assigns the class an assignment to research the history of the Laurel Dale community. Fuzzy, Tui and Yar decide to find the buried loot of a local Indigenous bushranger.

It's the anniversary of Grace's death and Fuzzy wants to know more about how her mum died and why her mum's spirit hasn't appeared to her yet. Distracted and disheartened, Fuzzy gets lost on a class field trip to Lola's Forest. The entire class, including new student Teddy, has to look for her. Yar tries to hone his tracker ancestor instincts much to the annoyance of Tui, while Cat and Emmy try to battle spider-webs and forest creatures. Fuzzy comes to the spot where Grace passed away and realizes a big truth about her mum.
