Scoop Has Some Fun is the ninth episode of the third season.
Plot
While Scoop is on his break from a job, Spud tries to persuade him to help him play some tricks. At first, it seems fun until Spud suggests they scare Lofty, which Scoop turns down, saying Lofty is really scared of Spud. While Scoop goes back to work, Spud goes off to find Lofty himself. Unfortunately, he scares Lofty so much that Lofty falls on his side. After Lofty is rescued by Bob, Scoop and Spud (who went for help and admits what he did), Spud apologizes to Lofty for scaring him and he forgives him. Bob and the team get back to work, and Scoop says that Spud never thinks about how his actions affect others, inspiring Bob to teach Spud a lesson. Bob calls Wendy and asks her if his old work clothes are still back at home. When Spud and Travis get back to the farm, Travis tells Spud that Farmer Pickles got a new scarecrow because Spud is too naughty. Spud is upset and tells the “scarecrow” (which is Bob in disguise) that he’s the only scarecrow around here. Bob then spits at Spud and reveals himself to Spud. Everyone laughs after the joke and even Spud thought it was funny.

Goofs
- When Muck shouts; 'Okay, let's go!" Wendy is not wearing her builder's hat and Lofty has his hook. But in the next shot, Wendy is wearing her hat and Lofty's hook has become a grabber. However, it changes back to his hook when Muck and Lofty arrive at the junction.
- Oddly, Lofty was not seen at the end of the episode with the other machines.
