It was a very sweet and sad episode about Beef Tobin helping Moon Tobin recapture his sense of wonder.

Warning: Spoilers
Moon Tobin thinks he caught Bigfoot, but it turns out to be Honeybee Shaw's brother, Jerry Shaw. We viewers were introduced to him in Avocado Barter Adventure, when Honeybee told Judy Tobin about her life in Fresno. I thought it was great that The Great North decided to make Honeybee's brother a new recurring character in the middle of Season 1 by moving him to Alaska for her sister, Honeybee. It opened the door for Jerry to have a lot of hilarious adventures with the rest of the Tobin family, like Dip the Halls Adventure. Nick Offerman and Ron Funches played characters who worked at the same radio station in the Bob's Burgers episode Long Time Listener, First Time Bob, so it was very nice for The Great North to reunite these and even give them another storyline together as Beef and Jerry in the aforementioned Dip the Halls. I think Ron Funches either wanted his character, Honeybee's brother to become another recurring character, or Lizzie and Wendy liked Ron Funches's performance so much that they decided to make him a regular character in the middle of Season 1 for The Great North, which also happened to Danielle Fishel in the middle of Season 1 for Boy Meets World.

I have a lot to say about Keep Beef-Lievin Adventure because of Jerry Shaw moving to Alaska to live with or near his sister Honeybee Shaw, but the real meat of the story, the emotional heart of it is Moon Tobin. Keep Beef-Lievin' Adventure is not a melodrama by any means, but it was still easy for me to feel sad for Moon Tobin like Beef did because...we both like the feeling of what-if, and it broke our hearts to see the youngest Tobin child lose his sense of wonder, and wait for Dungeons and Dragons to become just Dungeons. You will never believe in a hundred million years how this ended - even though Moon Tobin mistaking Jerry Shaw for Bigfoot was the beginning of him losing his interest in catching Bigfoot, Beef Tobin gets Jerry Shaw to fix the same problem he caused by wearing the Bigfoot costume and walk by the woods at a distance near Lone Moose School, to help Moon Tobin believe in Bigfoot again. Moon Tobin thinks Jerry ate the crackers he used to bait Bigfoot the other morning, but Jerry's plane came in at night and the crackers were already gone when Jerry fell into Moon's Bigfoot trap. Wolf and Honeybee are happy that Jerry chose to stay in Alaska with them, but more importantly are proud to hear this new evidence that Bigfoot might be real after all. Another creature ate Moon's crackers before Jerry came to Alaska.
