"Family Fishing Trip" is the first segment of the sixteenth episode of Amphibia. It premiered on July 11, 2019.
Synopsis[]
Sprig wants to spend time with Hop Pop on their family fishing trip, but Hop Pop’s friend Sylvia gets in the way.
Plot[]
The gang prepare to go on their annual fishing trip. Sprig has had fond memories of fishing with Hop Pop since he was a polliwog and has been wanting to continue their usual tradition. Sprig's perfect day is supposedly ruined when Hop Pop brings along Sylvia Sundew for the trip. Sprig is put off by her suddenly joining them, but Anne and Polly tell him that it will be okay. Nevertheless, Hop Pop begins spending more time with Sylvia over various activities and Sprig overcome with jealousy, decides to break them up. Meanwhile, Anne wants to try parasailing after watching hours of it online back home. She brings her own hang gliding gear and throughout the day, keeps trying and failing to stay airborne; crashing onto the boat numerous times to Polly's enjoyment.
Sprig attempts to sabotage many of the enjoyments on their trip, but they end up working in Sylvia's favor. This causes Sprig to become saddened which is quietly noticed by Sylvia. As Anne and Polly try to convince Sprig to let it go, Sprig is approached by Sylvia to talk. When they pass by a small island full of pretty blue blossoms, Sprig tricks Sylvia that she go pick the flowers for Hop Pop because they are his favorite. Taking his words to heart, Sylvia jumps off the boat to swim over to the island while Sprig roles up the ladder to the boat. When he approaches Hop Pop, he is already prepared to go fishing with him. He explains that Sylvia saw that he was sad and suggested that they spend time together. This causes Sprig to realize he has been selfish and finally admits that Sylvia is cool and how Hop Pop is lucky to have her.
Sylvia screams in terror when it is revealed that the island she is on is really the top of a crab. Hop Pop turns the boat around while Sprig uses Anne's hang glider (which annoys her as he turns out to be pretty good at using it without practicing). Sprig successfully rescues Sylvia while she furiously kicks the crab in the face, severely harming it. After landing, Sylvia presents Hop Pop some of the flowers she picked out, only for Hop Pop to reveal his favorite flowers are actually daffodils, thus exposing Sprig's lie. At this, Sprig confesses he was jealous of Sylvia and apologizes for his behavior around her and that he is happy that Hop Pop is lucky to have someone like her around. As everyone settles to go fishing together, Polly takes over the hang glider (again, to better results than Anne) while Anne suggests going back to get the crab for its meat, as she got hungry upon seeing it.
