Poppy begins to suspect that her actions—no matter how whimsical or bizarre—might actually have consequences. Enter a scientist and a theologist, who attempt to explain “Chaos Theory,” “The Butterfly Effect,” and free will to Poppy, while she stares blankly at them as if processing the futility of existence. Inspired, Poppy decides to gift her beloved plant friends with free will.

Poppy grows disgusted with her puppet friends after discovering their disturbing hygiene habits. Meanwhile, a contestant on “Is It Cake?” gets a surprise ingredient. Poppy gifts Zwink a spa day to teach him about self-care. And Detective Poppy makes her noir-inspired debut, attempting to crack the case of who started a nasty rumor about dear Mr. Scib.

Poppy takes the puppets on a disturbingly enlightening journey through the nightmare known as "growing up." Meanwhile, Poppy surprises one lucky viewer with a seemingly harmless gift, pizza, leaving the recipient deeply unnerved. And a long-forgotten educational video on “second puberty” resurfaces, revealing the grim truth: there’s always another round of awkward changes, physical discomfort, and identity crises waiting just around the corner.

In this unsettlingly whimsical finale, Poppy invites a basil plant onto the show for a deep dive into the natural sciences. Then, Poppy heads to the LA Zoo to see the “exhibits” where her detached commentary turns the visit into a dark metaphor about captivity, futility, and the thin line between observer and observed. And Poppy gives a season ending performance taking us all into the wilderness.
