Anne or Beast?

"Anne or Beast?" is the first segment of the first episode of the first season of Amphibia. It aired on June 17, 2019.

Overview
After leaving Stumpy's Diner, Wally encounters Anne in the woods and believes her to be a beast. After running back to the town square and announcing there's a monster in the woods, Sprig decides to go catch the beast to prove to Hop Pop that he's responsible.

While in the woods, he steps into a trap set by Anne. Once confronted, he tells Anne he tastes terrible, causing her to explain she's not going to eat him and she didn't attack Wally, but rather tried to ask him for help. While talking, a real beast approaches them, causing her to flee, however feeling bad about leaving Sprig trapped, goes back and saves him.

The beast is revealed to be a giant praying mantis, which wanders off after being unable to find them hiding in a log. They exchange names, and she explains she's from another world and doesn't know how she got there or how to get home. Their conversation is interrupted by the townsfolk who tie up Anne, however another praying mantis attacks.

Sprig unties Anne and tells her to run, however when seeing him about to be attacked runs in and saves him and together, they tie up the praying mantis. Sprig convinces Mayor Toadstool to let Anne stay in town, and Hop Pop agrees to let her live with them. He also states he's proud of Sprig for standing up to the town for Anne. He also reveals to Anne she can't leave the valley during this time of year, and that she'll have to wait to get home.

While she waits, she moves into the Plantar family's basement. Once she's finally alone, she pulls out a music box, and attempts opening it in hopes it'll teleport her home, only to be disappointed.
