Episodes

Background

Seasons 1–5 are listed here in their original U.S. network episode order. In the original network run from season 2 onward, some 11-minute segments originally aired mixed with repeats; when the show was distributed internationally, the segments were combined into standardized half-hour combinations. Season 5 had an odd number of 11-minute segments; "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break" is coupled with the season 6 segment "Friar Tum" in the "international" order.

The episode arrangements for the Disney Afternoon airings were completely different, with half-length segments from different seasons mixed together. These versions subsequently aired on The Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and the Family Channel in Canada.

Season 6 premiered as part of The Disney Afternoon. The order and airdates presented here correspond to the first airings of the new episodes on TDA.[1] Three of these were 11-minute episodes, "Friar Tum", "Zummi in Slumberland", and "A Recipe for Trouble", which each aired in the U.S. coupled with a segment from a previous season; here, each of them is listed by itself. In international markets, season 6 was presented in a different order than in the U.S.,[2] and these segments were grouped together into two half-hours (with "Friar Tum" being coupled with the leftover season 5 segment "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break"). This is why some episode guides list "Friar Tum/Never Give a Gummi an Even Break" and "Zummi in Slumberland/A Recipe for Trouble", which is how the episodes were presented internationally. Also, though most consider the two-part "King Igthorn" story to be the series finale, and it comes last in the international episode order, six more episodes premiered after it in the U.S., over a two-week period in February 1991.

Two numbers are given for each episode: One number corresponding to the order in which it premiered in the U.S., and a second corresponding to Disney's official "international" order (with the 11-minute segments marked "a" or "b" to denote the first or second segment).

Now the leader of Drekmore, Tadpole initiates a scorched earth policy against the Gummi Bears, who had annoyed him prior to the overthrow, by destroying the Gummiberry crops. Only one unlikely man can save the Gummiberries: the dethroned Igthorn.

Note: Despite appearing throughout the episode, Zummi and Tummi do not speak. Neither Gummi's voice is even heard, save for a recycled voice clip of Paul Winchell laughing for Zummi at the very end of the episode (when the Gummies all share a laugh over Igthorn being back in charge and making things painful for the ogres all over again).

After a tiring lesson of horseback riding, Sunni witnesses an ugly witch named Marzipan banished from an adjacent kingdom at the Dunwyn border. After disposing of a kitchen ingredient that reveals her true self, the witch transforms herself into a beautiful lady who enchants all of Dunwyn, including Calla, who now does not want Sunni as a friend, and King Gregor, whom Marzipan intends to marry to steal his fortune. Sunni must work fast to find the substance that breaks the witch's enchantment.

Note: Sunni is the only Gummi who appears in this episode. Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, and Cubbi are all absent, making this the first episode to only feature one of the Gummies. In addition, this is the fifth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin. Brian Cummings replaces Roger C. Carmel as the voice of Sir Tuxford due to the latter's sudden death in 1986.

Special note: After her defeat, Marzipan's threat to Calla and Sunni ("I'll get you, and your little pig, too!") is a reference to the Wicked Witch of the West, the main antagonist of The Wizard of Oz, who says a similar thing to protagonist Dorothy Gale: "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"
24a3a"Presto Gummo"September 26, 1987 (1987-09-26)

254"Day of the Beevilweevils"October 3, 1987 (1987-10-03)

Tummi builds what he thinks is a bee caller, but it instead attracts beevilweevils, insects that devour the Gummiberry bushes. Tummi and Gusto then go on a dangerous mission to locate a replacement Gummiberry sapling. When Zummi, Grammi, and Gruffi go on a rescue mission to find Tummi and Gusto, they encounter talking trees who want revenge on the Gummies for (inadvertently) deserting them during the Great Gummi Exodus.

Note: Sunni appears in this episode, but she does not speak. Except when she reacts with the other Gummies "Right!" when they heard whats going on outside and headed outside.
26a5a"Water Way to Go"October 10, 1987 (1987-10-10)

Sunni and Gusto meet a mermaid, Aquarianne, and her sea beast guardian, Finwithit. When Igthorn captures Aquarianne and uses Finwithit to attack Dunwyn, it's up to Sunni and Gusto to save her and Dunwyn.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, and Cubbi do not appear in this episode, making this the second episode in which Sunni is the only one of the main six Gummies to appear in an episode (though this time, not the only Gummi, in general, with Gusto also in the episode). This is the first time in which Gusto is seen drinking Gummiberry juice and gaining the temporary bouncing abilities granted to Gummi Bears. This is also the first time in which his waterfall apartment is seen. Finally, he also meets Duke Igthorn for the first time.
26b5b"Close Encounters of the Gummi Kind"October 17, 1987 (1987-10-17)

Note: Sunni and Cubbi do not appear in this episode. In addition, this is the second consecutive time in which Gusto is seen drinking Gummiberry juice.
27a6a"Snows Your Old Man"October 24, 1987 (1987-10-24)

While trying to find out why winter is still persisting in Dunwyn alone, Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi encounter a frost giant named Chillbeard, who uses a "wind horn" to freeze everything. The cubs wonder why Chillbeard seems immature for the "Lord of Winter", wanting to play games instead of allowing spring to start.

Note: Zummi appears at the very beginning of this episode, but does not speak. Oddly, he disappears soon after his brief appearance (in what might be an animation error). In addition, it is revealed that Gusto lives in Gummi Glen with the other Gummies only during the winter (as the waterfall that he uses to get in and out of his apartment is more than likely frozen during this time). Finally, with this episode, he has appeared in four consecutive episodes (full-length and mini-length), his longest streak of episodes throughout the series.
27b6b"Boggling the Bears"October 31, 1987 (1987-10-31)

Sunni saves a squirrel-like shapeshifter called a boggle from a hungry wolf and takes it back home, but a shapeshifter, including the while whole family of them, tends to make a rather tedious pet.

Note: Zummi and Cubbi appear in this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, the wolf chasing the boggles and who later tries to eat Sunni closely resembles the hungry wolf who tried to eat Wart in The Sword in the Stone.
287"The Knights of Gummadoon"December 5, 1987 (1987-12-05)

When the castle of the knights of Gummadoon (a reference to Brigadoon) appears, Cavin is imprisoned as a spy. The Gummies only have until sunset to rescue him, as the castle only appears once every hundred years, but they also have to contend with Duke Igthorn, who plans to capture the castle.

Note: This is Cavin's only appearance in season three. This is also Duke Igthorn's third time drinking Gummiberry juice and gaining super strength. In addition, it is revealed that Gummiberry juice gives super strength to ogres who drink it in addition to humans.
29a8a"Mirthy Me"December 12, 1987 (1987-12-12)

A Gigglin causes a practical joke spree in the Glen.

Note: The title of this episode is a play on the phrase "Mercy me".

Special note: The Gigglin bears a remarkable resemblance to Toadie. His voice actor even voices the Gigglin.

After the egg of a griffin rolls free, Cubbi gets mistaken for the baby, whilst Gruffi has to deal with the actual baby griffin, who thinks that he is his father. Gruffi and Cubbi decide to make the switch without facing the wrath of the mother griffin.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode.

Special note: The title of this episode is a play on the film titled Mommie Dearest.

31a2a"Music Hath Charms"September 17, 1988 (1988-09-17)

Igthorn gets his hands on a set of magical bagpipes, which entrance anyone listening to its tunes, but this includes most of the Gummies, with the exception of Grammi who has gone temporarily deaf, and it's all up to her to foil Igthorn's scheme and rescue the other Gummies and the people of Dunwyn.

Note: Although Zummi technically speaks when he, Gruffi, Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi all tell Grammi, in unison, that they serve Igthorn while under his (Igthorn's) spell, Paul Winchell does not provide his voice at any point in time in this episode. In addition, Cavin also appears in this episode, but he does not speak, making this his first voiceless, non-speaking appearance of the series. He is briefly seen walking among the people of Dunwyn after Igthorn entrances them, and again near the end, when the people are awakening from the spell.
31b2b"Dress for Success"September 17, 1988 (1988-09-17)

The Gummi Bears attend a masquerade festival, Folly Day, at Dunwyn, but so does Igthorn, with the intention to get rid of King Gregor once and for all, and the only tool Sunni has to stop him is her rather gaudy, self-made new dress.

Note: Zummi appears in this episode, but he again does not speak.
32a3a"A Knight to Remember"September 24, 1988 (1988-09-24)

Cubbi wants to play knight, but when the Gummies don't believe him when he sees the ghost of a real Gummi Knight, he sets out to learn from him and help him fulfill an unfinished quest.

Note: Zummi appears in this episode, but he once again does not speak.

Grammi is visited by a childhood friend, a leprechaun named Nogum, who shows her how to have fun once again, but her chores don't get done, in the meantime.

When the dilapidated state of Gummi Glen and an exploding Stinkweed Stew force the Gummies to temporarily evacuate their home, Sunni tries to find a good place in which she, Tummi, and Cubbi can stay. Their last choice, Dunwyn, proves no safer than the wilds, since rats are on the loose in the castle, along with an overeager exterminator.

33b4b"Color Me Gummi"October 1, 1988 (1988-10-01)

When King Gregor accidentally sees one of Gusto's lifelike paintings in Cavin's hands, Cavin panics and lies that he did the painting. King Gregor then commissions Cavin to create a portrait of him, forcing Gusto to help Cavin behind the scenes, without getting discovered.

Note: Sunni appears in this episode, but does not speak. In addition, Cubbi does not appear in this episode. Also, this is the first episode to be centered on Gusto since his introduction. This is also the first episode in which he has appeared without his pet toucan, Artie. This is the third episode in which he is seen drinking Gummiberry juice.
345"He Who Laughs Last"October 15, 1988 (1988-10-15)

Fed up with Gummi Bear stories by Sir Gawain, a retired knight and Cavin's grandfather, a jealous citizen of Dunwyn, Lord Willoughby, issues a challenge to him: find evidence of the Bears' existence, or give up his entire fortune. Cavin is torn between helping his grandfather and his vow keeping the secret of his friends. Meanwhile, Tummi is cursed after eating a dangerous fruit, and the other Gummies must find a spell to save him before he fully turns into a tree.

Notes: Sir Gawain and Lord Willoughby both learn of the Gummi Bears' existence. Sir Gawain is sworn to secrecy by the Gummis, while Lord Willoughby is not believed by the public.
35a6a"Tummi's Last Stand"October 29, 1988 (1988-10-29)

When Tummi's big girth causes him and Cubbi to be almost captured by Igthorn and his ogres, Cubbi encourages Tummi to use an old Gummi training course to lose some weight. The course turns out to be useful in other ways, as well.

Note: Zummi and Sunni appear only at the end of this episode, but neither one speaks.
35b6b"The Crimson Avenger Strikes Again"October 29, 1988 (1988-10-29)

Gruffi sees Cubbi in his Crimson Avenger costume and, thinking that he's just playing a "childish game", forces him to give it up by throwing it over a cliff. By happenstance, Toadie, who has again been cast out of Drekmore by Igthorn, takes up the mantle of the Crimson Avenger when the costume literally falls right into his lap – and at just the wrong time, too, as Igthorn is about to carry out his latest plan to kidnap Princess Calla.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, and Sunni all appear in this episode, but none of them speak. In addition, this is the eighth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.
36a7a"Ogre Baby Boom"November 12, 1988 (1988-11-12)

An accidental mixture of Gummiberry juice and baby powder reduces Igthorn's ogre troops to infants, and Grammi takes in one of these babies to raise it for the better.

Note: Zummi, Tummi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode.
36b7b"The White Knight"November 12, 1988 (1988-11-12)

Dunwyn's most famous paladin, Sir Victor, pays a visit to King Gregor's court, but the White Knight bears a secret that makes him an easy target for extortion by Igthorn.

Notes: Tummi and Sunni appear in this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, Igthorn's given name is revealed to be Sigmund.
37a8a"Good Neighbor Gummi"December 3, 1988 (1988-12-03)

When Gruffi breaks his foot, he stubbornly refuses to stay put, believing that the Glen would suffer if he doesn't remain active. His attitude doesn't improve when a rowdy bandit gang decides to make camp – right above Gummi Glen.

Notes: Sunni appears in this episode, but she does not speak. Additionally, this is the second episode in which Gusto appears without Artie.

Special note: After failing in one of his plans to get rid of the bandits, Gruffi sticks a finger out of a pile of logs and says, "I have not yet begun to fight!" When he says this, he is quoting United States naval commander John Paul Jones.
37b8b"Girl's Knight Out"December 3, 1988 (1988-12-03)

King Gregor proposes a series of tests for Unwin and the other squires to become princess Calla's bodyguard, which includes stealing a golden apple from the strong and mysterious Black Knight. Calla conceals her appearance in a suit of armor and competes, as well, to prove that she is capable of her own self defense.

Notes: Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, and Cubbi do not appear in this episode, making this the third episode in which Sunni is the only one of the main six Gummies to appear (and the second overall in which she is the only Gummi to appear at all, as Gusto also does not appear in this episode). Additionally, this is also the ninth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin. This episode also marks the final appearance of Unwin. It is likely that he was removed from the series due to his unpopularity with the fans.
389"Top Gum"December 10, 1988 (1988-12-10)

Inspired by some old stories, Cubbi constructs a flight pack and races off into the clouds to find the legendary Aerials, but soon discovers that they are not like the old Gummi stories described.

Note: This episode marks the first time in which Gusto is ever kidnapped by a villain (or, in this case, a group of villains), whereas Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi have all been kidnapped several times by this point.

Special note: The title of this episode is an obvious play on the film Top Gun.
3910"Gummies At Sea"December 17, 1988 (1988-12-17)
Tummi finds a Gummarine, an ancient seagoing vessel that can take the Gummies to New Gumbria, where they can meet other Gummies, but their plans are quickly derailed when Duke Igthorn captures the ship and uses it to attack King Gregor.

40a1a"A Gummi a Day Keeps the Doctor Away"September 9, 1989 (1989-09-09)

Tummi takes pity on Doctor Dexter, an unsuccessful pharmacist, and decides to improve his concoctions with a shot of Gummiberry juice. This new wonder medicine also attracts the attention of Igthorn, and without the knowledge of how to exactly replicate the formula, Dexter is caught between a rock and a hard place.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Sunni, and Cubbi do not appear in this episode. In addition, Doctor Dexter meets and learns about the Gummi Bears' existence. It can likely be presumed that he took the same oath as Cavin, Calla, and Sir Gawain to keep their existence a secret off-screen.
40b1b"Let Sleeping Giants Lie"September 9, 1989 (1989-09-09)
The first snow of winter has arrived, which means that the annual Festival of the First Snow has come to Gummi Glen. An old Gummi ritual associated with the festival proves more important than Sunni and Cubbi could have imagined. Their negligence and carelessness allow a giant to wake from his age-long slumber, and he quickly proceeds to wreak havoc all over Dunwyn. It is up to Sunni and Cubbi to put him back to sleep and save the kingdom.
412"The Road to Ursalia"September 16, 1989 (1989-09-16)

Gruffi destroys the Great Book of Gummi by accident and reluctantly travels with Cubbi to the lost Gummi city of Ursalia to find a replacement. Despite the fact that the Gummies departed centuries ago, the ruins of Ursalia are still inhabited by the brave, but scatterbrained, Gummi Knight Sir Thornberry, the evil witch Lady Bane, and her jackal-like flunkies, the Troggles.

Note: First appearances of Sir Thornberry, Lady Bane, and the Troggles. This is also the first visit to Ursalia for Gruffi and Cubbi.
42a3a"Bridge on the River Gummi"September 23, 1989 (1989-09-23)
When an old bridge that Grammi and Sunni use for errands collapses, Gusto convinces Gruffi to build a bigger, more elaborate bridge. However, Igthorn takes advantage of the new bridge to transport a new weapon to Dunwyn.
42b3b"Life of the Party"September 30, 1989 (1989-09-30)

The lovestruck Igthorn invites Lady Bane to Drekmore to discuss an alliance (and perhaps more), but the ogres get their hands on a rare tree that the Gummies need and use it for a table decoration, and Sunni and Cubbi are forced to play party crashers to get it back.

Notes: Grammi and Tummi do not appear in this episode. In addition, Sunni and Duke Igthorn meet Lady Bane for the first time, and the latter falls in love with her. The feelings seem to be mutual from Lady Bane until their meeting goes incredibly wrong.
43a4a"My Kingdom for a Pie"October 7, 1989 (1989-10-07)

Tummi's overeating becomes his Achilles heel and could put his friends in grave danger when Duke Igthorn learns this and has his ogres prepare an elaborate feast with many sumptuous courses, all for Tummi -- if he only tells him the location of Gummi Glen.

Note: Zummi, Sunni, and Cubbi only appear at the end of this episode, but none of them speak.
43b4b"The World According to Gusto"October 21, 1989 (1989-10-21)

When Gusto says that the only rule a Gummi needs to know is that there are no rules, Grammi suggests that Cubbi live with him to see how true that really is. When Cubbi does so, both he and Gusto learn a valuable lesson about following the rules.

Note: Zummi, Tummi, and Sunni appear only at the end of the episode, but none of them speak.
445"Ogre for a Day"November 4, 1989 (1989-11-04)

Zummi discovers a Gummi transformation spell. The spell has never been used on humans, but Zummi reluctantly uses it on Cavin, who takes the guise of an ogre and infiltrates the ranks of Castle Drekmore to uncover Duke Igthorn's latest plot. His new form makes communicating his good intentions to the right people a little difficult.

Note: Tummi and Sunni appear in this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, there is an error made in the episode: when Cavin drinks the Gummiberry juice at the climax of the episode, he gains the Gummi bouncing ability rather than the superhuman strength that is supposed to be granted to humans. It was likely a writer error.
45a6a"Princess Problems"November 11, 1989 (1989-11-11)

King Gregor hosts King Jean-Claude, a ruler of a nearby Frankish kingdom, and his daughter, Marie, to improve diplomatic relations. Both Sunni and Calla learn that being a princess does not make one an instant sweet little girl. Even worse, Marie's haughty attitude eventually causes King Jean-Claude to stage a military siege on Dunwyn.

Notes: Zummi, Tummi, and Cubbi do not appear in this episode. Cavin appears briefly, but does not speak, marking his second non-speaking appearance. This episode marks the first appearance of King Jean-Claude and Princess Marie, with the latter debuting as a minor villain. This episode is where the girls Calla and Marie are rivals for the first time.
45b6b"A Gummi is a Gummi's Best Friend"November 18, 1989 (1989-11-18)

Gusto creates a lifelike stone statue of Zummi, then persuades Zummi to come to his workshop so he can create a better one. Meanwhile, Gruffi mistakes the statue for his friend, believing that Zummi has accidentally turned himself into stone -– and so does Lady Bane.

Notes: Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi appear at the end of this episode, but none of them speak. In addition, this is the last appearance of Gusto until "King Igthorn" in season six.
467"Beg, Burrow, and Steal"December 9, 1989 (1989-12-09)

The trolls are on the loose again, and this time, they've hijacked an ancient Gummi digging machine.

Note: This is the tenth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.
478"Return to Ursalia"December 16, 1989 (1989-12-16)

A message by Sir Thornberry lures both the Gummies and Igthorn back to Ursalia, where a new band of Gummies, the Barbics, have taken refuge, but the new tenants are mostly quite an unsociable bunch with a deep hatred for all humans. They seek the ultimate weapon in Ursalia to get revenge against the humans, and as it so happens, this weapon is close to falling into Igthorn's hands.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, and Sunni visit Ursalia for the first time. Additionally, this is the first appearance of the Barbics.
489"Never Give a Gummi an Even Break"January 6, 1990 (1990-01-06)

Grammi finds what seems to be a Gummi forced to work as a side show and takes him home to Gummi Glen, but Gruffi thinks that there is something wrong with him.

Notes: Despite appearing throughout the episode, Tummi does not speak. Although his mouth is seen moving with the other Gummies while they are being forced to sing, Lorenzo Music does not provide a voice for him. In addition, this is the final episode in which Zummi is voiced by Paul Winchell prior to his retirement.

491"A Gummi's Work is Never Done"September 10, 1990 (1990-09-10)

Grammi and Gruffi decide to trade their usual chores to find out who has the easier job. Meanwhile, Toadie and Igthorn discover blueprints for an ancient Gummi Bear logging machine, but needs a Gummi to build it for him, leading to another hunt for the bears.

Note: Zummi and Cubbi do not appear in this episode. This is the only full-length (twenty-two-minute) episode of the series in which Cubbi does not appear.
502"Friar Tum"September 12, 1990 (1990-09-12)

Lured by the aroma of their daily baking, Tummi ends up in the company of human monks, is forced to protect the faithful friars from the thieving trolls, and finally learns to say no for his own good.

Note: Cubbi does not appear in this episode, though he is mentioned by Zummi at the end of the episode. In addition, Jim Cummings replaces Paul Winchell as the voice of Zummi Gummi.

Special notes: The abbott of the monastery that Tummi accidentally joins is named Abbott Costello, an homage to the comedy duo Abbott and Costello. Also, the troll named Tuck is called "Friar Tuck" by his boss, Clutch. This is an homage to Robin Hood's religious friend.
513"Tuxford's Turnaround"September 18, 1990 (1990-09-18)

Tummi and Cubbi witness a delegation of knights arriving for a great tournament. Sir Tuxford appears to be no match for his younger peers, so Cavin asks Tummi and Cubbi to lend a helping hand, but Igthorn using the tournament as a diversion to take over Dunwyn and a broken secret Gummi door make things much more complicated than necessary.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode. In addition, this is the first and only episode to focus on Sir Tuxford. Finally, this is Jason Marsden's last episode voicing Cavin. He had the longest tenure of voicing the character at a little over two seasons. R. J. Williams of Kissyfur fame would later take over the role a few episodes later, in "Thornberry to the Rescue".
524"Toadie the Conqueror"September 19, 1990 (1990-09-19)

Igthorn comes into the possession of an invincible magical suit armor of an infamous villain from the past, but this armor fits the diminutive Toadie only, and once the dwarfish ogre realizes its power, he simply decides to take his Dukie's place as the ruler of Dunwyn. It is now up to Zummi, Sunni, and Cubbi to defeat the small ogre, before Dunwyn ends up under the permanent control of King Toadie.

Note: Tummi appears in this episode, but does not speak. In addition, this is the eleventh episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.
535"Zummi in Slumberland"September 25, 1990 (1990-09-25)
Zummi has become so burnt out on remembering his magic spells lately, he starts casting them in his sleep. This leads to problems for the other Gummies, including a very dangerous one involving one of their Gummi peppers.
546"Patchwork Gummi"September 26, 1990 (1990-09-26)

Sunni finds an old, enchanted Gummi quilt that records the old Gummies' greatest achievements on its patches. In her eagerness to show it to Calla, she accidentally loses the quilt to Lady Bane, who promptly employs its magic to try to make herself the Queen of Dunwyn.

Notes: Zummi, Sunni, Calla, King Gregor, and Sir Tuxford all meet Lady Bane for the first time, and Zummi, Sunni, and Calla also meet the Troggles. In addition, this is the twelfth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.
557"Thornberry to the Rescue"October 19, 1990 (1990-10-19)

In his clumsiness, a visiting Sir Thornberry inadvertently releases the Spinster, an old, spiderlike menace of the Gummi Bears from centuries ago. When this results in Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi all being kidnapped by her, he and Cavin become the Gummies' best hope of escaping this evil monster before she makes dinner out of them.

Note: This is R. J. Williams's first episode voicing Cavin. He would be the final voice actor for the character, voicing him until the end of the series.

Special note: As a result of Sir Thornberry making himself at home in Gummi-Glen off-screen, Gruffi says that someone has been sitting in his chair, Grammi says that someone has been eating her porridge, and Cubbi says that someone has been sleeping in his bed. Cavin states that the situation sounds familiar. Though he does not realize it, he is, of course, referring to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
568"Once More, the Crimson Avenger"November 5, 1990 (1990-11-05)

Cubbi almost gives up being the Crimson Avenger after a string of humiliating defeats, but is re-inspired by a young boy named Milton and his faith in the alter-ego. He will need that faith, as he is forced to take on a new villain, the Grand Fromage (the Big Cheese), who is stealing various ingredients from around Dunwyn.

Notes: Zummi and Tummi do not appear in this episode. In addition, with this being Cubbi's last stint as the Crimson Avenger, none of the other Gummies other than Tummi ever find out his identity over the course of the series.
579"A Recipe for Trouble"November 6, 1990 (1990-11-06)
Grammi tries to become a better cook and collects a number of strange roots for seasoning. The trio of gnomes needs these roots to appease an ever-hungry, bullying slug-like monster called the Slugger, and they believe that the Gummies stole the roots (and they are correct, as Grammi did so, though inadvertently). Out of revenge, they kidnap Zummi, Gruffi, Tummi, and Sunni to feed to the monster, which makes Grammi decide to give him a taste of her homemade cooking instead.
5810"Queen of the Carpies"November 15, 1990 (1990-11-15)

The bullying king of the Carpies loses his crown, which ends up in Sunni's hands – and the other Carpies promptly assume that she has defeated their king. Thus, they take poor Sunni once again to Carpy Mountain, this time to rule as their queen, while the other Gummies must treat the accidentally-deposed Carpy King, who was injured by Tummi.

Note: This is the second time that Sunni has been kidnapped by Carpies, the first time being in "A Gummi in a Gilded Cage". Also, Zummi does not appear until the third act of this episode, and even then, he only has one line of dialogue. Finally, this is the thirteenth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.

Special note: The Carpy Bobo, who becomes king at the end of this episode, has personality traits, mannerisms, and speech patterns based on the Looney Tunes character Beaky Buzzard. He even says things similar to the character.
5911"True Gritty"November 19, 1990 (1990-11-19)

Cubbi accidentally wrecks Ursalia's water reservoir, leaving the ancient metropolis short of its most important commodity. While Gruffi, Ursa, and Sir Thornberry keep bickering whilst following an ancient aqueduct to find out why the water flow has stopped, Gritty and Cubbi try to lasso and train a few ramas (an amalgam of ram and llama) to fetch water from the not-so-nearest river. Then, Gritty tries to get revenge on a group of mountain shepherds for human crimes against the ancient Gummi Bears, and Cubbi has a hard time trying to persuade him otherwise.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode.

Special note: The title of this episode is a play on the phrase "true grit".
6012"King Igthorn: Part I"November 27, 1990 (1990-11-27)

With no sign of Igthorn for an entire year, not even in his own castle, Zummi finds this news as a perfect opportunity to call on the Great Gummies (much to the skepticism of Gruffi). However, Igthorn has been absent for the past year because he has actually devised the ultimate plan to finally capture the Gummies, obtain the Gummiberry juice, and take over Dunwyn once and for all.

Note: First appearance of Gusto this season. His only other appearance is in "Rocking Chair Bear".
6113"King Igthorn: Part II"November 28, 1990 (1990-11-28)

Igthorn and his ogres have destroyed Gummi Glen, captured Dunwyn Kingdom and its citizens, and are keeping Grammi and Tummi held in Drekmore. Now Cavin and the remaining Gummies, with the help of the Barbics, must save them all while Zummi retrieves the Great Book and warn the Great Gummies to turn back. Everything culminates in one final showdown, pitting the Gummies against their long-time foe, Igthorn, to determine the ultimate fate of Dunwyn.

Note: This is the last episode produced for the show (and thus the true series finale), but not the last one aired. In this final episode, Gusto finally meets the Barbics, Igthorn is defeated for good, and Drekmore Castle is destroyed, leaving him with no ogres other than Toadie. In addition, the main Gummies move from the destroyed Gummi Glen to Ursalia. In this final episode, no humans ever learn of the Gummies' existence (other than the few who did learn of them over the course of the series).
6214"Tummi Trouble"February 14, 1991 (1991-02-14)

Igthorn purchases a love potion from a traveling gypsy to get Lady Bane to fall in love with him, but a severe accident instead makes Lady Bane fall in love with Toadie, and Tummi in love with Lady Bane.

Note: Zummi and Cubbi only appear at the end of this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, Grammi and Tummi meet Lady Bane and the Troggles for their first and only time.
6315"Rocking Chair Bear"February 18, 1991 (1991-02-18)

When Lady Bane gets a lock of Sunni's hair, she uses it as part of a spell to keep her eternally young. The spell also has an inverse effect on Sunni, aging her from a young Gummi to an old one. Zummi, Gruffi, and Gusto must get Sunni's hair back to reverse the spell before Sunni dies of old age decades too soon.

Notes: This episode marks the final appearance of Lady Bane and the Troggles. In addition, this is the fourth time in which Gusto is seen drinking Gummiberry juice and gaining the bouncing abilities granted to Gummies. He also meets Lady Bane and the Troggles for his first and only time.
6416"Trading Faces"February 19, 1991 (1991-02-19)

While thwarting yet one more attempt of Igthorn to claim rulership, Sir Tuxford is injured, so Sir Victor is called in to defend Dunwyn for the period of Tuxford's recovery. Soon Igthorn hits upon a plan to use his likeness to his twin brother to conquer Dunwyn, after all.

Note: Tummi and Sunni appear briefly in this episode, but neither one speaks.
6517"May the Best Princess Win"February 20, 1991 (1991-02-20)

King Gregor and Calla travel to the realm of King Jean-Claude and his daughter Marie to discuss an alliance against a fiendish villain, Marquis de Bouillabaisse, and Sunni is accidentally forced to follow along, while Tummi and Cubbi follow to get her home before Gruffi finds out that any of them are gone. Once more, the girls engage in a competitive quarrel, which leads them right into the arms of Bouillabaisse. Now the girls must work together to escape and defeat the villain, with help from the Gummies, before he can use them against their fathers.

Note: Zummi and Grammi appear briefly at the beginning of this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, this is the second and final appearance of King Jean-Claude and Princess Marie, the latter of whom reforms from her prior behavior in "Princess Problems" and becomes a heroine and good friend of Calla's. She also learns of the Gummies' existence and, like Cavin, Calla, Sir Gawain, and Doctor Dexter before her, vows to keep their existence a secret. This is the fourteenth and final episode in which Calla appears without Cavin.

Special note: Bouillabaisse is likely based on French conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte, with his short stature and tyrannical nature.
6618"Wings Over Dunwyn"February 21, 1991 (1991-02-21)
Grammi and Tummi go to feed a flock of giant birds just returning from their winter quarters, only to be forced to protect them from Igthorn, who is hunting these birds to use them as war steeds, and take care of one of their young at the same time.
6719"The Rite Stuff"February 22, 1991 (1991-02-22)

Eager to meet the Barbics, Cavin accompanies Gruffi, Tummi, and Cubbi on a trip to Ursalia. He is at first not welcomed by the Barbics, but soon gets the chance to prove himself in a manhood ritual which Buddy has to undergo to become a full member of his tribe. However, a pair of satyr poachers are on the prowl, looking for furs to line their purses, and Gruffi, Ursa, Buddy, and Sir Thornberry just so happen to be quite hairy.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode.
