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.[2]

Plot[]

The episode begins with Toothy, Petunia, and Flaky playing a friendly game of hide and seek in the woods with Flippy, a green bear who was once a soldier in the army. Flippy begins counting, while the others run to hide. As he continues to count, a woodpecker behind him begins pecking at the tree it's perching on. The sound of the woodpecker's pecking turns into machine gun fire in Flippy's mind, and he stops counting. He then flips out and becomes his alter ego Fliqpy before throwing a Bowie knife through the woodpecker's chest, killing it. Once that's done, Fliqpy runs off to find the others.

Fliqpy's first kill.

Elsewhere, Toothy giggles while hiding behind a tree. Unbeknownst to him, Fliqpy, camouflaged against the tree behind Toothy, grabs Toothy's head and gives it a big twist, which snaps his neck. Meanwhile, a panting Flaky continues to look for a hiding spot. Suddenly, a piano wire comes down around her neck and pulls her up, strangling her to death.

Petunia, having witnessed Flaky's death, begins to back away in fear while whimpering. She then trips and falls into a punji pit set up by Fliqpy. As Petunia yells in pain from being pierced all over her body, Fliqpy arrives. Seeing him, Petunia lifts her arm with great effort, hoping that "Flippy" will grab her hand to pull her out. Not understanding her motive, Flippy instead gives Petunia an activated grenade. Seeing what Flippy gave her, Petunia screams in horror as the iris closes in on the active grenade. When the iris closes in completely, a loud explosion is heard, signaling that the grenade exploded, killing her.

  3. Toothy has normal buck teeth when he is by the tree.
  4. When Toothy is hiding behind a tree, his tail is taller than his body, but when Fliqpy appears on the tree, Toothy's head is higher than his tail.
  5. When Fliqpy becomes visible just before he breaks Toothy's neck, his eyes are facing outwards, making him look cross-eyed.
  6. When Flaky is hung, her quills are missing.
