Part 5/9:
Upon their return to the colony, Flick is hailed as a hero, but anxiety thrives beneath the surface as the colony unknowingly anticipates a comedic performance rather than preparation for battle against the grasshoppers. Flick's deception escalates when Princess Atta becomes concerned about Flick's fabricated tales of strength and valor among the circus performers.
Circumstances lead to an accidental revelation that the team is not composed of warriors but rather performers. Fueled by anger, the colony shuns Flick, believing he has put them in danger and betrayed their trust. In a poignant moment, Flick is banished, prompting a desperate retreat to his home.
