"Ghost Wolf's Art" is the second segment of the fifteenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series Kiff.
Synopsis[]
Kiff and Barry try to learn more about the mysterious Ghost Wolf.
Plot[]
While Kiff is rewatching the video for "Totally Table Town", it occurs to her that she and her friends never thanked Ghost Wolf for rescuing them, so she and Barry return to Ghost Wolf's cave to meet him again. After experiencing several surreal phenomena inside, they eventually stumble upon a revolving entrance leading to Ghost Wolf's living quarters, which turn out to be quite modern and well-furnished. Hanging on the wall is a detailed painting of Kiff, Barry, Candle, Reggie, Renée and Trevor on the night of their rescue, which Kiff and Barry are amazed by. Ghost Wolf gets off his treadmill and approaches them, revealing he can actually speak verbally. When asked by Kiff, Ghost Wolf confirms the painting is his work. She suggests he hold an exhibition of his paintings, but Ghost Wolf says the world is not ready to see his art. Kiff then commissions ten paintings for her personal collection, which he agrees to paint in exchange for one rare fern per painting, as he is fond of plants.
On their way back, Kiff reveals to Barry that she plans to a host an art show on Ghost Wolf's behalf to convince him that the world is ready for his art. As part of the plan, Barry visits Ghost Wolf the next day to assist him as his apprentice. Seeing that Ghost Wolf is suffering from artist's block, Barry suggests that Ghost Wolf can find inspiration by observing people, just as he did for his earlier painting. They fly to Table Town, where Ghost Wolf phases himself and Barry through different buildings to secretly observe people's everyday lives. Meanwhile, Kiff pretends to be Ghost Wolf's agent and reserves the Serious Art Gallery for the art show, then stops by the cave to retrieve the completed paintings from Ghost Wolf. Before leaving, she hands him an envelope and tells him to visit the listed address at 7:00 PM to claim his ferns at a plant nursery.
That night, Ghost Wolf arrives at the address and discovers that he is actually at the gallery, where his art show is taking place. The paintings are well received by the audience, but the subjects of the paintings take offense upon seeing themselves depicted doing embarrassing private activities. Ghost Wolf phases himself, Kiff and Barry outside to escape the angry crowd, and Kiff apologizes to him. However, they then look inside and see the crowd in a good mood, bonding over the embarrassing activities shown in the paintings. The three return inside, where Kiff has the audience applaud Ghost Wolf, then auctions the paintings for rare ferns. The next day, while watering his plants with Kiff and Barry in his cave, Ghost Wolf invites Barry to continue being his apprentice in the summer and reveals that he has taken up sculpting as well.
