"Internetted" is the first segment of the eighty-sixth episode of Big City Greens.
Synopsis
Tilly goes down an internet rabbit hole to figure out what happened to her favorite ice cream treat.
Plot
Cricket, Remy, Tilly, and Andromeda go to the ice cream truck to get ice cream, but when Tilly asks for a Croblins bar, the ice cream man tells her that they do not sell them anymore. When asked why, he says that his boss said they weren't popular anymore. Remy, however, says that they were still considered the most popular snack in Big City. Tilly is confounded by this contradiction, but doesn't have time to think as Benny arrives with expired ketchup and the prospect of having a ketchup war. Tilly is left with Remy's touch pad and decides to use it to find the truth. Bill warns her that the internet is full of misinformation and that she needs to be careful.
Tilly personifies her internet web browsing with her entering an internet based world. She goes searching for the truth on Croblin bars and their sudden disappearance, encountering a mysterious rabbit that hops away from her. Tilly goes to a message bored, but cannot dig her way through all the random responses that do not give her a clear answer. She ends up in the dark web and meets the rabbit who says her name is Agent Information and shows her a "rabbit hole" filled with "webs". Tilly goes down it, but the webs are full of conspiracy theories. She encounters another user who reveals that Agent Information is actually, Miss Information and has been misleading her.
Tilly is trapped by Miss Information and her lies, but Tilly is able to break free and simply exits out of the tab and returns to reality. Tilly is still saddened by the fact that she does not know the truth about the Crobins bars disappearance, but Bill arrives and reveals that their dentist told them that it was because the gumballs on the bars were chipping children's teeth, forcing them to get recalled. Tilly is still unsure about this which causes her to question trusting anyone, but Bill tells her that she is smart enough to know that those close to her are always looking for her best interest and reveals that he still has a Croblin bar, but removes the gumballs. Cricket tries eating one and hurts his teeth.

Trivia
- Moral: Be careful who you trust, because they may not be who they seem.
- The episode took the longest to premiere, likely due to production of the movie.
- This is also the first to premiere after a six-month hiatus following The Ghost and Molly McGee series finale and Hamster & Gretel and Kiff finishing their seasons months earlier, as well as the second season premiere of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
- Besides Agent Information being a rabbit as a reference to going through "rabbit holes" on the internet, she is also most likely inspired by King Kazma from the anime film Summer Wars.
