Titled Its Such An Interesting World, the episode began with a first look at the redhead Anne Shirley. She was walking down a flight of stairs accompained by Mrs. Spencer, who was telling her about her to-be home. Anne was excited at the prospect of living in Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, a place that was said to have lots of trees and blossoming flowers.

A train journey later, Anne sat in wait at the station, taking in the area's beauty while she bided time for Mr. Cuthbert to arrive. Into the station walked a tall, broad and mature man, Matthew Cuthbert. Anne was delighted to see him and her excitement poured out as an endless chatter. He was taken aback by this energetic young lady, whom he escorted to his carriage.

On the way to Green Gables, Anne marveled at the sight of white cherry blossoms and lake. Upon arrival at the house, Matthew and Anne were greeted by a disappointed Marilla Cuthbert, who was expecting to see a boy. When she voiced her displeasure, Anne broke into tears at the sound of not being wanted. Nonetheless, the siblings consoled her, gave her dinner, and sent her to bed.

Matthew had taken a liking to her, but Marilla was against it. Thus, it was decided that the latter take a drive to try and return her to the asylum. The next day, Anne and Marilla set off. During the journey, Anne once more spoke of the sea's beauty and its many creatures. When asked, Anne shared her sad history and the feeling of home never being permanent, which seemed to affect Marilla.

Moving on, the ladies arrived at what can be seen as the mid-way point, likely where the asylum's children checked in before heading to their new homes. In a nutshell, a Mrs. Blewett was in need of a girl to help in her household. However, when Anne and Marilla saw her, she looked like a drunken mess with dark intentions for the redhead.

At this moment, Marilla intervened and pulled Anne out of the situation based on a technicality. She brought her home and no one seemed happier than Matthew. Although Marilla was still hestitant, given she had no experience in child upbringing, the pair decided to let it all play out. They finally agreed that Anne was an "interesing little thing".
