He tells them about spruce beetles, which are ravaging the forest now that the weather is warmer. He hears a mountain lion and tells them he has to go back to his tree house. As they are running back to their van, a forest fire breaks out. As they are driving, Rod and Nathalie find Rick and Mai dead in Mai's car from an Eagle attack. They pull over when they run out of gas and Susan and Tony say they are hungry again. Rod catches a fish, while Nathalie gathers some seaweed.
