Jack Frost's Poem[]
The fairies like to fuss and fret,
That one must train to be a vet.
Exams are hard and tests are tough,
I want to skip the boring stuff.
But Heidi's things give instant skill,
To treat all creatures who feel ill.
I stole each one and that is how,
The Frosty Vet will see you now!

The Pink Stethoscope[]
Rachel and Kirsty wake up early because they’re going to help Kirsty’s neighbour Lisa with her veterinary surgery open day, where the press will be there to write good reviews. Lisa asks them to blow up balloons to decorate the entrance and as they do, they see all the journalists approaching.
They also spot two very short journalists but can’t see their faces. Kirsty accidentally lets go of a balloon but Heidi the Vet Fairy comes flying down on it. She tells them how Jack Frost stole her magic objects and when she went to her surgery that morning, there wasn’t a single patient.
Before they can do anything, the first patient, Mr Gilmore and his dog Maddie, arrives because Maddie hasn’t been eating her food. Lisa begins the consultation but starts forgetting terminology and the two short journalists rudely heckle her idiocy. Lisa suggests Rachel and Kirsty serve some tea and biscuits while she pulls herself together.
As they offer each journalist tea, they realise the short journalists are Goblins, so they race back to the kitchen to tell Heidi. The goblins must have the stethoscope since they were correcting Lisa earlier, so the girls ask each journalist if they’d like to take their coats and bags.
The goblin journalists hand over a camera bag, but the stethoscope isn’t in there. Rachel wonders if the goblins would like better, new stethoscopes, so Heidi magics up some more and offers them to the goblins. They gladly accept them and drop Heidi’s pink one into a plant pot. Kirsty picks it up and returns it to Heidi, who leaves for Fairyland happily, promising to return.
The Green Thermometer[]
At the end of the tea break, the journalists watch Lisa impressively see the rest of her patients while the girls are in the waiting room setting out sandwiches. They hear a crash and Lisa explains one of her most important pieces of equipment just broke.
To give her time to ring the engineer, the girls show the journalists to the sandwiches but the goblins leave the clinic, saying how Jack Frost has much better animals than the ones here. The girls realise Jack Frost has kidnapped all of Heidi’s patients because he thinks being a vet will make everyone respect him, so they use their Lockets to go to Fairyland.
They meet Heidi outside her clinic and she’s with Caitlin the Ice Bear Fairy, who has lost her pet bear Crystal. The four fairies fly to the Ice Castle and spot the two journalist goblins stomping through the forest all the way to a folly where the waiting room is full of animals. Jack Frost is in the examination room tending to a cat, holding Heidi’s magic thermometer.
Because he won’t be able to diagnose the animals correctly, he may make them worse. The fairies explore further for secret passages into the folly and eventually find one, tunnelling under and ending up at eye-holes though a portrait of Jack Frost, probably where he spies on his goblins. They observe.
Kirsty asks Heidi to magic up thermometers identical to her magic one onto a trolley of instruments. Heidi and Caitlin combine their magic to send all the animals back to her surgery and all the fairies squeeze through the eye-holes, creating chaos. Kirsty manages to get the green thermometer and the fairies whiz back through the eye-holes but Jack Frost manages to grab her leg. Heidi magics up a blindfold onto Jack Frost’s head and Kirsty escapes. However, the fairies didn’t manage to find Crystal, but in the meantime Heidi sends the girls back to the human world.
The Yellow Blanket[]
The girls return to the veterinary surgery where Lisa’s overjoyed that her equipment is working again. She leads the girls and the journalists around the recovery room, full of animals from her surgery success stories. But weirdly, the animals are acting strangely.
Luckily the journalists move on before they notice anything, leaving the girls alone, who see Heidi in a hamster cage petting said hamster. She explains Crystal isn’t at the folly and at that moment, they hear a thump upstairs. The floor above isn’t being used, so maybe Jack Frost is upstairs. Heidi turns the girls into fairies and they fly up to the next floor.
The fairies see Crystal in a room, sitting on Heidi’s yellow blanket. Jack Frost is barking orders at his goblins, coming up with ways to make Crystal feel better. Heidi reveals Crystal only has a cold, but because Jack First doesn’t know what’s wrong with her, he can’t treat her properly. Rachel has an idea to talk to Crystal so Heidi magics one of the windows to open, distracting Jack Frost and the goblins while Rachel whispers instructions into Crystal’s ear.
Crystal picks up the blanket and walks towards the door. The goblins gush at her cuteness and Jack Frost lets her walk off, to show how good of a vet he is. When she gets outside the room, Heidi magics the door shut and Heidi picks up Crystal and her blanket, thanking the girls and disappearing.
Just then, Jack Frost blasts the door open with a thunderbolt and the girls say it’s too late, so he storms off, declaring he no longer wants anything to do with vets. Lisa calls them down as the journalists are leaving, giving the surgery glowing reviews. As the girls help tidy up, they reflect on their day.
