The Arborians is the first episode of Season 2. It first premiered on October 2, 2008.
Plot[]
The episode opens with Mung introducing his new recipe for Souseberry pancakes. But when the crew eats it, they realize how dry it tastes. Mung then says that they need syrup for the pancakes and that the best syrup is Arborian syrup. To get the syrup, they have to plant an Arborian tree. As they wait for the seed to grow, out pops Arbor, 'a proud arborian tree'. Shnitzel then pokes Arbor to extract the syrup. Mung and Chowder then tastes the syrup, but they realize that it tastes terrible. Arbor says that syrup only comes from mature Arborian trees and tells the gang if they want good syrup, they have to live in a place he likes. Since Arbor dislikes how Mung's kitchen looks, he tells they to get marble columns and stone tigers holding lightning bolts to decorate the place. Soon enough, all of Arbor's relatives are coming to live in the place. Mung gets fed up by this so he gives the trees an ultimatum: either give them the syrup or leave his kitchen. In response to this, Arbor tricks Mung into getting locked into a broom closet claiming he left some delicious syrup in there. Soon Chowder and Shnitzel (except Truffles) gets locked in the closet when they refuse to marry Arbor's daughter. They dig their way out and disguise themselves as Arborians. Then Mung tricks them into moving to Ms. Endive's house which they like better which drives her crazy. Even though they got rid of the trees, Chowder is bummed that they still have no syrup for the pancakes, then a little Arborian appears and tells them he can get them good syrup.
