The comfort of a town of teddies has its allure . . . but the need for answers weighs heavy on Buddy's mind. And there's something definitely off about these new bears. Will our heroes accept their strange rules? Or must they dig deep for one more adventure to finally learn why they were thrown away?
The answer lies just up the stairs . . .
