Shortly afterward, Bessie ate Apothecary Gary, Toadie and everyone else is freed from his control and leaves with Mr. Flour, not remembering his state of being mind-controlled.

In "Anne of the Year", Toadie witnesses Anne winning the Frog of the Year award and explains to her that the winner has the honor of hosting a party to celebrate his or her good qualities.

After Anne saves everyone from a fire, Toadie feels sorry for her when the girl miserably asks why she won the Frog of the Year award. Right after Hop Pop explains Anne was nominated Frog of the Year because of her selflessness and maturity, Toadie gives an encore to support Hop Pop's reason, leading Toadstool to apologize to Anne for treating her coldly. Once Anne and Toadstool make amends, Toadie continues attending Anne's party where he later informs her that someone is waiting for her outside of Wartwood, claiming to be a friend.
