Stella and the birds wake up Gale for some hiking. When they come across a fork in the trail, Stella and the birds go one direction, but Gale goes another. Gale finds a tree trunk with a crown and a book. When she puts on the crown, Gale garners attention from the Pigs who think she is the next Queen. She rushes back to the group, who are watching the waterfall and the sunset from an outcropping. When they are preparing a tent for the night, Gale daydreams of being Queen and accidentally sets the tent on fire. Stella gets upset but Gale leaves in a huff. The pigs build Gale a chair and carry her off.

The birds don't have much time to miss Gale after her departure before a great ruckus erupts in the forest beneath the Big Tree. They find out that the forest is being cut down to build Gale's new castle. Stella decides to attempt to convince her to come home.

As construction continues on her castle, Gale settles in to read The Book, learning the legend of the powerful Golden Egg. However, it appears that The Golden Egg seems to be located under the Golden Tree. Stella and her friends are determined to protect their house.

Poppy's beloved gong was completely destroyed in the attack on the Big Tree, and is not able to play well in their makeshift band. Fortunately, Dahlia repairs and revamps it into a complete drum set. But when the new set ruins the entire band, Poppy has to get creative.

Luca is tired of being treated like a baby and being forced to take baths, and will do anything to escape it, even if it means running away. But when he arrives at Gale's castle, he finds out even the pigs are forced to take baths as well.
