Wirt assumes the man is crazy and whispers to Greg about a plan of escape, but soon realizes it's not a good idea and tells Greg to forget it. The woodsman reveals that his job is find Edelwood trees and use them to keep his lantern lit. He lights a fire and Wirt asks what he does. The man takes them to an abandoned mill that he has repurposed for his needs. The man "welcomes" them to the unknown and tells them they're "more lost then they realize." The man mentions the beast and Wirt states that they do not know anything about the beast and that they are just lost. Wirt tells him that they just want to go home. The woodsman from earlier appears and yells at them, questioning why they are here and the bird flies off. Wirt tries to explain, but ends up calling her "weird" and "not normal" and then stops talking to the bird. Wirt informs Greg that a bird's brain isn't big enough to be able to form speech, which the bird takes offense to. A bluebird appears from behind and states that she might be able to help, shocking Wirt. The man collects the sticks before walking off, removing any light for the area, making Wirt wonder whether they should have asked for his help.

Wirt and Greg argue shortly on whether or not they should ask for help. They soon find a woodsman chopping sticks off a tree, using the light being given off by a lantern he has. Wirt wonders whether the man with the axe is dangerous, but Greg runs into the darkness toward the sound, followed reluctantly by Wirt. Wirt begins to construct a poem about their predicament but is interrupted by the sound of an axe chopping wood. Wirt suddenly realizes that they are lost, while Greg remains slightly oblivious and very unhelpful. Greg and Wirt are seen walking through the forest, with Greg dismissing names for a frog he is holding. The episodes opens with a few strange silhouetted figures, followed by a camera entering some woods, and a narrator talking about "The Unknown". Lost in the mysterious woods of the Unknown, two brothers named Wirt and Gregory run into a jaded old woodsman.
