Synopsis
Just when Somebody Smurf works up the courage to pursue Moxette, he is befuddled when she has no interest in furthering their relationship. At first, all he has is "the ability to hide," which is what he wants to avoid doing around her, but "Somebody" isn't her idea of "Prince Smurf."

Meanwhile, Falla seeks the villagers and requests help hiding a potion she stole from Gargamel's hovel. Somebody is entrusted with the job, but by the time he is ready to leave, Gargamel's trio has begun capturing his fellow Smurfs - including Moxette - looking for it. ''Will Somebody Smurf ever find a new name? Will he succeed when putting his talents to use against the villainous trio or be turned into gold for trying?''

Story
The episode opens with a shot of the Great Oak’s tree branches from worm’s eye view as they sway with the gentle wind. It is a gorgeous August day without a cloud in sight, and the chirping bluebirds above are met with the voices of several approaching Smurfs. Jokey is seen first trying to tell Grouchy and Harmony a joke, but when he reaches the punchline, they hardly crack a smile. He tries another one about a horse and an old woman, but it is clear that his fellow Smurfs are not interested, so he admits defeat and picks up his bucket.

Hefty takes charge of the group by leading them up the tree trunk, stating, “Sorry, Jokey, but now’s not the time for a joke. We’ve got acorns to smurf for the village.” He begins climbing, and so the rest of the group follows suit with Somebody Smurf racing towards the Great Oak. Hefty notices him and waves, telling him he would be on time if his legs were in better shape.
