Cars crash, loved ones die, dreams are dashed, hope ebbs and flows, heroes rise, losers fall, and of all things, the spoon ends up back in the shed. Danny investigates the mystery of the wooden spoon and discovers that old shed hides a secret from Piper's past, and he thinks it's pretty cool, However, when a sinkhole swallows a popular town park, that secret turns deadly.
