Episode One: "Something in the Garden"

A normal afternoon in the garden turns strange. Nibbler is acting oddly — sniffing at the base of The Big Red pōhutukawa and yowling. Scarlett investigates while Danica toddles behind her eating a biscuit. They discover strange hoof prints in the soft mud — shimmery, faintly glowing, definitely not from any animal they know. Nibbler, to his own apparent horror, opens his mouth to say "It's not a horse" — then looks utterly appalled at himself. The girls' delight at the talking cat drives the first half of the episode. They follow the prints deeper into the bush, where the light begins to change — everything glowing faintly gold. At the very end, they hear a sound: a soft, frightened whinny from behind a tangle of silver fern. Two wide, luminous eyes peer out.
