"One Hundred" is the one-hundredth episode of Big City Greens.
Synopsis[]
The Greens are determined to make their 100th adventure their best, even if that means unleashing monstrous chickens, venturing into the afterlife, and delivering a mysterious box.
Plot[]
Tilly is looking through her album of memories and comes to the realization that the Greens are officially on their one hundredth adventure. The rest of the family is amazed that they have had that many adventures since moving to Big City, but are proud that they have made such a milestone. When Gloria asks what they are going to do for their one hundredth adventure, the Greens are at a loss. Tilly comes up with the idea that they should all split up for the day and do something on their own each, that way, their adventure feels fulfilling for everyone. Cricket goes to see Remy, Tilly and Gramma Alice stick together, and Bill decides to go it alone.
Cricket arrives at Remy's house and tells him that, unlike their first meeting together, where the chicken eventually returned, he wants to actually launch a chicken into space. The two rush off to Big Tech where they are attacked by a robot. Using Remy's tears, they short circuit the bot and enter the facility, where they find Gwendolyn Zapp in a cryo pod. She shows off her enlarging ray where they accidentally enlarge their chicken who rampages through the city. When Zapp escapes, Cricket and Remy get into her spare mech suits and fight the chicken. While the fight is difficult, Cricket manages to launch the chicken into space, blowing him up, to the cheers of the crowd.
Meanwhile, Tilly asks Alice what she truly wants and she admits that she wishes to see her deceased husband Ernest one last time. They attempt to contact the afterlife, but when they get an unfulfilling answer, they decide to go see a psychic. They are turned down by several except a man named Archemorus who tells them that in order to see the deceased, they need to become deceased. He gives them a drink that effectively "kills" them and they float through the afterlife to find Ernest. They find him, but the portal begins to close. As Archemorus tries to drag them back, Alice makes one final push and manages to reach Ernest, finally seeing him for one last time.
Bill sits at home with no ideas what to do for his adventure. He finally decides to only act when adventure comes to him. He hears a knock at the door and finds a package. Believing that this is a sign, he decides to take the package to its rightful owner. Bill proudly declares how "fun" his adventure is when he reaches a crossing light. As he goes across, he realizes that his shoelace is untied and he trips over it. He becomes depressed over "failing", but begins to think about home, giving him the encouragement to continue his mission. He hops on one foot across the walkway and makes it to the other side with the package.
Back at home, Bill is in disbelief over Cricket, Tilly, and Alice's stories. It is revealed that their adventures were all fake (Cricket just spent time with Remy, while Tilly and Alice looked at old photos). They admit that setting high expectations for themselves was unrealistic and that it is better to simply appreciate the memories that they had together. They decide to throw a backyard party, inviting all their friends and family, to end the day. Alice thanks Tilly for spending time with her, while Cricket asks Bill who the package was for. He admits that it wasn't anyone in particular and that the recipient didn't matter.
The recipient turned out to be Babe who tells Chip Whistler that the package is secure, and Bill didn't see what was inside it. Chip laughs maniacally as his plan to take down the Greens comes together.

Trivia[]
- Moral: Instead of trying to out-do your past selves, try to be grateful for all the fun times you had.

- The reveal that Cricket and Tilly's stories are forged is foreshadowed as none of the points from Cricket's plot appear in Bill's plot (the sky is normal, the city is intact, no chicken noises, no people screaming).
- The final scene serves as a cliffhanger that resumes in the next episode "Chip's Revenge".
- Cricket's line "Say hello to my sad little friend!" is a reference to the 1983 film Scarface.
