When Earth Turned Into A Comet

However, the other Atomic Knights report that similar trefoils attacking farmers near Durwood. The knights decide to check on Bedford and half-way there find Henderson half-dead on a bicycle after the trefoils turned on him. The knights confront the army of trefoils but are forced to retreat as they throw explosive berries at them.
As the trefoils have congregated on only one side of the Durwood River, the Atomic Knights realise that they need a constant supply of water to remain alive. They remove the dam that keeps the Durwood River from draining, causing all the trefoils to wither away. Henderson declares that he'll figure out a way to make new trefoils which are pacifists.
