Plot[]
Jessica is distributing to all students copies of her latest article of her EnviroBeat column, but to her sadness and anger, everyone threw her papers in the trash, and didn't even try to recycle. Jessica then sees Pam Isley sitting alone on lunch, she feels sad for her and tries to befriend her even though Babs tells Jess that Pam wants to be alone, and the rest of the team concurs. Jess insists on befriending her, with Pam rejecting her repeatedly. Eventually, Pam finds out that Jess is protesting the cutting of an ancient tree. She joins her and they chain themselves to the tree. At night Pam tells the story of the tree who "speaks" to her by rustling in the wind. Pam grows angry over the imminent destruction of the tree. She clenches her fist in the soil, and vines grow around it. When the working crew arrives, Pam vanishes and Poison Ivy attacks the crew with her vines, flipping cars, tearing the road, and coiling the vines around the workers. She throws a bulldozer at the crew, and Green Lantern deflects it back, unintentionally felling the ancient tree. Poison Ivy falls to her knees, wept bitterly and a fit of rage. She retreats into the ground with her vines, she angrily tells Green Lantern that she will pay, as she told Green Lantern that she is unworthy of being a green. In the next scene, Pam and Jess find an acorn by the stump of the ancient tree. They plant it, and the episode ends with a shot of the acorn growing into a sapling as Jess and Pam walk away.
