The Great Outdoors
The first years are preparing to go on their Outdoor Adventure class trip and the group is devided into two, with Mildred, Maud, Enid, Jadu, Ethel and Drusilla going camping with Miss Drill and the other birdwatching with Miss Bat.
It would be a happy ocaision, were it not for the fact that it is anounced at the last minute that Miss Hardbroom will be acompanying Miss Drill's group. Clad in full witches garb, and after frightening the coach driver to tears, Miss Hardbroom argues out of the girl's earshot about weather or not she should be allowed to use magic and weather or not she will "forsake the cloth of her calling".
Meanwhile, trying to be friendly, Mildred and her shivering friends inflate Drusilla's pack to make it lighter. It gets a bit too light, however, and floats up into the sky. HB returns just in time to use her magic one last time and zap it down.
Eventually the group arrives at their camp site to see that the Rocky Mountain Rangers (sort of boyscouts) have already claimed it. Serge, their leader, and Miss Drill decide much to the ire of HB that since the site was double booked, they can share. Somewhat by wasy of payback, Drill tells Serge and the rockies that Miss Hardbroom is the maiden aunt who is trained in an ancient art of silent running (to explain why she dispaears) and has joined them for her health. This earns her a walking stick in the toe.
Deciding to partake in the Ranger's scavenger hunt, the entire group is devided into two teams by Drusilla (Dru, Ethel and and three Rangers against Mildred, Maud, Enid, Jadu and a Ranger named Spooky). When Mildred's team takes the lead Ethel casts a weather spell on them. This provokes Enid into casting one back and so on and so forth until a blizzard starts and the two teams are forced to hide out in the woods together.
Meanwhile, HB smugly informs Miss Drill that it's the double fosters effect, in which the blizard could theoretically cover the entire universe as it multiplies. Even after Drill begs her to be in charge and use magic, she refuses and the two group leaders charge into the blizzard.
After another sip of tea, HB walks outside and promptly stops the blizzard, much to everyone's relief. In the end, it turns out that Spooky found the treasure anyway, and Drusilla gives it to Mildred for saving her life (something not shown in the episode).
