Recap[]
The episode opens with Josh the Detective, while he holds a magnifying glass. Josh and Blue look for Mr. Salt's missing blueberry pies using a magnifying glass. They skiddoo to Detective Gopher's Hole. All 3 clues are grass, blanket, and a basket. Josh thought that the pies are in a basket flying over some grass on a magical blanket. That did not make any sense. The answer is the picnic, and the culprit was Mrs. Pepper who was bringing the pies to said picnic. As Josh and Blue eat some blueberry pies, they sing the So Long Song while Josh waves goodbye to the viewers and the episode ends.

Goofs[]
