Gale finds a mysterious tree trunk with a golden crown and a book. When she puts it on, Gale inadvertently attracts a group of minion pigs, who think she is the next Queen. She rushes back to the group, who are watching the waterfall and the sunset from an outcropping. While they prepare a tent for the night, Gale daydreams of being Queen and accidentally sets the tent on fire. Stella becomes furious at Gale for ruining the tent and the latter leaves in a huff. The pigs build a chair for Gale and carry her off to Golden Island, leaving the flock devastated and saddened. | ||||||

| Gale learns the legend of the powerful Golden Egg from a book that she had received with her crown and decides that if she were to obtain it, she would get Stella's flock to appreciate her. However, Gale also finds that the Golden Egg is located under the flock's tree, and she goes to saw it down. The flock decides to battle Gale's minions to fight for their home. Just as Gale closes in on the tree, Poppy uses her gong to produce a shockwave that destroys Gale's machine (whilst damaging the gong itself). Gale goes back to the castle in defeat, but Handsome Pig reveals to Gale that the book shows where another Golden Egg is. | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | "Rock On!" | Meruan Salim | Anastasia Heinzl | November 22, 2014 | |
| Stella and her friends enjoy playing in a band together, but Poppy's gong, which had been greatly damaged in the previous episode, won't make a sound. After Stella's attempt to fix the gong makes it shatter completely, Dahlia invents a new drum set, complete with an even better gong, for Poppy. Poppy loves it, but when the flock performs another song, she gets carried away and ends up destroying the entire flock's instruments. To make it up to them, Poppy helps the gang make their own creative instruments out of ordinary materials and the group is able to perform once again. The gang gets annoyed, however, when Poppy begins a (long-lasting) drum solo. | ||||||
| 5 | 5 | "The Runaway" | Meruan Salim | Amy Mass | November 29, 2014 | |
| While playing in a mud puddle, Luca is tricked by the flock into taking a bath, much to his displeasure. That night, he runs away from home so that he can be as dirty as he wants. He joins some of Gale's minions, who are playing in the mud, and they allow him to join them to the castle. At the castle, Gale allows Luca to have anything he wants, until he begins to mimic her actions. When Luca realizes that pigs also take baths, he leaves the castle and gets lost in the woods. A couple of critters in the woods take him home to the other birds, who had just found out that Luca had gone missing. When Stella scolds the young bird for getting muddy again, Luca gives himself a bath, much to everyone's amazement.

| 6 | 6 | "All That Glitters" | Avgousta Zourelidi | Bernice Vanderlaan | December 6, 2014 | |
|
After having found out the second Golden Egg from her book, Gale and her minions continue their search, where they find the hole that the Golden Egg is supposed to be in. When Gale goes down the hole to find the egg, Handsome Pig becomes worried for Gale's safety and forces Stella, Poppy and Luca to help her. Meanwhile, Gale fails to find the egg, so she settles for a green emerald. A skunk, however, sprays Gale with a foul odor and chases her. The flock uses a rope to pull Gale out of the hole (though they immediately leave afterwards due to Gale's bad smell). Gale happily goes home with her emerald without Handsome Pig (after she thought her crown was missing after being pulled up and sent him into the hole to get it back but realized that she had it on her tail feathers). Note: This is the first episode to use the new intro (which is actually reused from the trailer of the game). This intro would be used for later broadcastings of the first five episodes. | ||||||

Handsome Pig, who has a crush on the Queen, tries to win the affection of "Gale", not knowing she's an imposter. When the real Gale discovers the ruse, Dahlia slips out of her disguise right before Gale destroys it and Handsome Pig bawls over being tricked.

While working on it, Willow bonds with Artist Pig and teaches him how to paint better. Gale is amazed by Willow's marvelous painting but harshly berates Artist Pig for his poor art skills and breaks his paintbrush in two. Feeling sorry for Artist Pig, Willow gives him one of her paintbrushes and paints a large pig nose on Gale's portrait, much to the pigs' amusement and Gale's humiliation. | ||||||

During their journey in the volcano, Stella and Gale briefly reconnect before the latter discovers the Golden Egg. Soon, Stella is surrounded by lava and Gale, putting her interest in the egg aside, rescues her. Soon afterwards, the rest of the birds and pigs drill a hole in the volcano to rescue Stella and Gale; Stella manages to make it out safely, but Gale, who went back for the Golden Egg, gets trapped in the volcano as it begins to cave in, seemingly killing her and ending the season finale on a cliffhanger. | ||||||

Stella and Poppy manage to avoid being caught and destroy the party's loudspeaker, causing a shockwave that makes the pigs fall asleep.

Just when she is about to give up, a chain reaction with a coconut inspires Stella to do the same and she is finally victorious. After Stella's victory, Luca reveals to Stella that the pillar that the tree was on had steps to get up to it the whole time, therefore making all of Stella's attempts completely unnecessary.
