In Gargamel's castle's, the evil wizard rejoices in that he has found a new way to destroy the Smurfs -- hate juice. He clearly is excited at the possibility of using it. Meanwhile, in the Smurf Village, Hefty is busy being such a good friend to his fellow Smurfs -- helping to carry Smurfette's baskets of flowers, helping to carry Greedy's cakes to the party table, offering to give Baby Smurf a bath when he sees the infant playing in mud, and taking over with blowing up balloons for Brainy. The other Smurfs don't seem to mind the help, while Papa Smurf looks up at the sky and hopes that it doesn't rain before he goes to see how party preparations are coming along.
