HTF's Episode Description
Be prepared for your first introduction to Flippy, the troubled war veteran bear who suffers regular flashbacks. Flippy is the only Happy Tree Friend that intentionally inflicts harm on his fellow friends, which is how an innocent game of hide and seek turns deadly.

Plot
The gang plays a game of hide and seek in the forest. Flippy begins counting while Toothy, Flaky, and Petunia hide. While counting, a woodpecker starts pecking a tree. The sound reminds him of machine guns firing, causing Evil Flippy to emerge. He throws his throwing knife through the woodpecker before running off to look for the gang.

While Toothy hides behind a tree, Flippy appears in camouflage and snaps Toothy's neck. Then, as Flaky is searching for a place to hide, she gets caught and hung by some piano wire Flippy lowers from a tree. Finally, Petunia, noticing Flaky's death, becomes scared, walks backwards, and falls into a punji stake pit Flippy created, Flippy hands her an active grenade, which explodes as the screen goes black.

Moral
"After a blue rain out comes a rainbow!"
