## Plot

The episode begins with the obligatory recap, this time focusing mostly on the events of The Reward. After that, the episode picks up at the tail end of The Reward, just before Lil\_Jeffy was knocked out by the Boss Penguins. As they passed through the Ski Lodge's lobby, Lil\_Jeffy noticed a bunch of penguins huddled around a fireplace. When he stopped to observe them, the Boss Lady prompted Lil\_Jeffy to keep moving, promising him some nice, warm pizza. Upon hearing his name, the penguins by the fireplace started talking among themselves and realized that he could help them escape the cruelty of the Boss Penguins, and so they decided to go save him.

The episode then cuts to after Lil\_Jeffy was knocked out and being dragged up the Ski Hill, just as Big Jeff and the Scavenger showed up. The Scavenger commented about who the penguin was. Big Jeff did not care and asked the Scavenger where his friends were. The Scavenger does not know about their whereabouts, which frustrated Big Jeff. Before before he could do anything about it The Cannibal and Businesmoose appeared. Businesmoose goes up to Big\_Jeff and asked where he could find the Tuba Gang. Big\_Jeff and the scavenger mistook Lil\_Jeffy for a tuba gang member and told them they were dragged up the Ski Hill. Businesmoose thanked them goes up the hill with the cannibal. After they left, Big Jeff knocked the Scavenger over again, and Problem Solver and his crew of Strangers arrived. The Scavenger cried out to the group for help, but they refused to as their only concern was finding Lil\_Jeffy, and they left. Realizing that the Strangers were looking for Lil\_Jeffy, Big Jeff and the Scavenger decided to follow him.

Meanwhile, the Boss Penguins had reached the top of the hill, where Lil\_Jeffy had just regained his consciousness and had been tied up. The Boss Lady was explaining to a gang called the Sledder Gang that their behavior would no longer be tolerated now that Lil\_Jeffy was around. She stated that she and the Boss Guy had restrained Lil\_Jeffy simply because of his destructive power, and told the Sledder Gang to spread the word that all the gangs out there would have to listen to the Boss Penguins or face Lil\_Jeffy's wrath. The Boss Guy stated that their original plan was to send Lil\_Jeffy as a peace offering, but then the deal was changed due to realizing his destructive power. The Sledder Gang leader believes that Lil\_Jeffy is a captive. Businesmoose and the Cannibal reached the hilltop. The former notices Lil\_Jeffy and asked if they could speak to him. Before he could so so, Problem Solver's group arrived much to the sledder gang's chagrin. The Problem Solver tries to reason that they were just here for Lil\_Jeffy but fails. The Sledder Gang Leader was angry now, and he demanded all the newcomer penguins to leave his turf, but Big Jeff butted in and asked the crowd which one of them was Lil\_Jeffy. This leads to an argument about who would have Lil\_Jeffy as they all wanted him for various reasons.

Back at the lodge, the Agent, Floppy Green Penguin, and Orange Puffle exited the lodge and began looking for Lil\_Jeffy, heading up the Ski Hill. Then the mob of Rebels came out, with one of them saying that rescuing Lil\_Jeffy was their chance of having a proper leader who would get rid of all corruption and let them rebuild the world. The other penguins agreed and stormed up the hill. Back at the hilltop, Big Jeff was trying to get the Strangers to back down, but they insisted that they needed to take him to their boss. Then Lil\_Jeffy's friends appeared, with the Agent happily crying out "Little Jeef!". The Boss Lady sarcastically asked if anyone else would be joining them on the hilltop, which was answered by the mob of rebels arriving on the hilltop, declaring that "the rebellion begins now." Fed up with it all, the Boss Lady changed the deal and told the gangsters that they could have Lil\_Jeffy if they got rid of all the newcomers. This caused a huge gang war to break out.

In the chaos, the Scavenger made his way to Lil\_Jeffy and tries to ask him about his friends at the Dance Club while Big Jeff whacks Guard off the hill. Problem Solver kills several more sledder gang members with snowballs, and the Cannibal started eating one of the rebels. Big Jeff then knocked the Scavenger aside and grabbed Lil\_Jeffy. Everyone stopped fighting as Big Jeff grunted in rage. The Boss Lady warned Big Jeff not to take Lil Jeffy, and the Scavenger tried to ask about his friends again. Big Jeff disregarded them both and started sledding down the hill with Lil\_Jeffy. The episode ends with the Boss Lady yelling at the Sledder Gang to go after the two of them.
