Eyes Cold Lemonade

Eyes Cold Lemonade is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the seventh of the second season, and thirty-fourth overall.

HTF Episode Description
The simple pleasures of a summertime lemonade stand take a turn for the worst in Eyes Cold Lemonade. Not enough sugar to sweeten that drink? We've got just the thing for you. Hand over your cup for another round and drink up!

Plot
Giggles and Petunia happily sit at their lemonade stand, awaiting customers. Petunia sighs contentedly, and Giggles pours her some lemonade. Petunia gladly drinks it, while Giggles, noticing they are out of lemonade, grabs a knife and a lemon. She gets ready to cut into the lemon, but she makes sure to move her finger to avoid accidentally cutting herself.

After slicing the lemon in half, Giggles notices that a nail from the lemonade stand's sign has fallen off. She looks up to see that part of the sign has become detached from the stand. The sign swoops down in front of her, slicing her face off. Giggles screams in pain, causing Petunia to spit out her lemonade all over Giggles' face in shock. The citric acid from the lemon juice burns Giggles' face, and she screams in agony.

Later on, we see that Petunia has reset the sign, only now with far more nails than before. Satisfied with her work, Petunia starts squeezing lemons again. Meanwhile, Giggles, who has bandages wrapped around most of her face, including both of her eyes, ignores her injury and continues to work. She blindly reaches for a lemon and manages to slice it in half.

Another nail falls from the sign, only now from the other side. The sign begins sliding downwards towards Petunia. Petunia notices this, but unfortunately for her, not fast enough. The sign crushes her head against the side of the lemonade stand, killing her.

One of Petunia's eyeballs comes loose from her head and rolls over to Giggles. Giggles picks up the eye, thinking it's a lemon, and slowly cuts it in half. She then juices the fluid out of the eye and pours the liquid into a glass. Giggles takes a sip and obviously doesn't like the taste. She adds some sugar to the concoction, drops some ice cubes in, and places a slice of Petunia's eye on the rim of the glass.

Moral
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"

Deaths

Injuries

 * Giggles' face is painfully ripped off by the sign. Petunia then spits out lemonade into her flesh, burning her.

Goofs

 * 1) Giggles' eyelids are red and bloody when she closes them the first time after being injured. When Petunia spits her lemonade on Giggles' face, however, her eyelids have pink skin on them. Afterwards, Giggles' eyelids are red and bloody again.
 * 2) When Giggles gets injured, all of her face is slashed off. However, when she is bandaged, the lower part of her face is undamaged (Her teeth aren't crooked, and her nose is normal).
 * 3) In the wide shot prior to the sign crushing Petunia's head, Petunia's tail is missing. It appears again when the sign crushes her face. In the Blurb version, her body is missing as well.
 * 4) When Petunia is squeezing the lemon right before her death, the juice in the squeezer is red like blood. It should be yellow. (This was fixed in other versions of this episode)
 * 5) When Giggles puts a slice of Petunia's eye on the glass, one can see a bigger piece of her eye on the stand. Both the piece on the glass and the piece on the stand have pupils.
 * 6) When the scene changes from Giggles squeezing juice from the eye to her pouring the juice in a glass, extra blood appears around the eye.
 * 7) The lemons disappear after Giggles cuts the eye in half.
 * 8) Giggles first grabbed the eye with her right hand and the knife with her left. When she started cutting the eye, she held the eye with her left hand and the knife with her right.
 * 9) When Giggles is cutting the lemon, her head marking disappears until she smiles.
 * 10) When Petunia is shown drinking lemonade before spitting it onto Giggles' face, the cup of lemonade is floating.
 * 11) When Petunia spits lemonade onto Giggles' flesh, Petunia's eyelashes disappear.
 * 12) In the intro, when it shows Giggles' starring page, it doesn't have three dots after "and" as it usually does.
 * 13) When Giggles is cutting the eyeball, her thumb seemed to be cut off or the knife was at a wrong angle when they animated it.
 * 14) When Giggles pours lemonade into a glass at the beginning of the episode, there should have been more lemonade inside the glass when she was finished. However, when she puts the pitcher down, the remaining lemonade instantly vanishes.
 * 15) When Giggles puts ice in her "drink", there are two eyeballs.
 * 16) When Petunia's head is crushed, the eyeball that fell is mysteriously not connected to its optic nerve.
