Bertie is stunned and falls from his motorbike when he sees a bear eating at a public picnic table, which doc dismisses as intoxication, but the apprentice doesn't drink and other bear spottings follow, all over Waldau's woodland, where previous and current mayor foolishly check the bee hives as the bear couldn't resist. Nerd Gustav Ott's siting is laughed away by classmates, except fat simpleton Ben Armbruster, who insists to help him convert a shed into a bear trap, which they get trapped in when the bear arrives early. Pawel and Nelly bump into wounded Quintus, who was injured by an escaped bear from his ex-circus sanctuary. Bertie patches him up, Philip joins the search.
