## Summary

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Stanley head to Big Gator Swamp to get the grenade launcher from H.U.N.T.E.R.. They find the case holding the launcher stuck in a tree after being air dropped into the area. Bjorn flies up to it and gets it down from the tree. Sammie asks if he has wings all the time and Bjorn and Stanley both say yes, they just choose when they're visible.

Henry looks at the map and finds a confluence of rivers where there's a picnic area that they can wait at. Henry suggests that someone uses their blood in the water to draw the monster out. Sammie volunteers to use her knife and put her blood in the water to draw in the monster. Nothing happens, but Sammie receives a text from Green saying that she should stay where she is because something important is about to happen there.

The group waits all evening before a girl scout troop suddenly appears. Bjorn tells them they're not allowed to be there, but the Girl Scout Leader assures him they are. Bjorn flashes his grenade launcher and the entire troop runs away scared. As soon as the troop is gone, the Big Gator starts to pull itself out of the water. Bjorn takes a shot at it with the grenade launcher, but is snatched up in its mouth. He drops the grenade launcher. Henry goes to drive for the grenade launcher, but is knocked back onto shore by its tail. Sammie takes a shot with her crossbow, but it seems to be malfunctioning.

Stanley tries to serve as a distraction and the Big Gator turns its attention to him. He throws Bjorn and he lands in the water. Bjorn manages to pick up the grenade launcher and hits it in the tail. The grenade launcher causes a spike from the tail to fly off of it and into the water. Sammie dives into the water to try and find the spike from the tail. She's unable to find the spike under the water.

Bjorn takes another shot at the Gator and and hits it in the mouth. He's able to knock a tooth loose, but it doesn't come completely out. Henry draws the monster's attention and it steps toward Henry and Stanley. He steps on Henry and knocks Stanley to the side. Bjorn tries to step in to protect Henry, but the Big Gator bites him and does an alligator death roll. Bjorn is able to knock the tooth out of the monster's mouth while he's being bitten.

Sammie picks up the knocked out tooth and attempts to stab the Big Gator with the tooth. Sammie successfully stabs the Gator with its own tooth. The Big Gator howls and drops Bjorn. It turns around and slams into Sammie with its massive head. After injuring it, the monster begins to retreat into the water. The crew takes advantage of this to regroup on the shore, Henry and Stanley need some extra help from Bjorn to make it out safe.

Bjorn takes a moment to patch Henry up and Stanley also heals Bjorn with magic. Stanley says they need to head back to the base. They get on the boat and Stanley forgets to blindfold Sammie, so Sammie is finally able to see that the island she had been exploring before is where Fort Lagarto is. They immediately head into the med bay to get patched up. Sammie hands the tooth over to Miguel.

Stanley offers to let them stay at the Fort tonight or take them home. Bjorn says he needs to go back to his hotel. Before Sammie can answer, she gets a phone call from her dad. He tells her that her Jeep has been impounded and she needs to get it before she goes home. Stanley gives Bjorn and Sammie a boat ride over to Big Gator Swamp. Bjorn then gives Sammie a ride to her apartment building and heads to his hotel.

Sammie tries to enter her apartment only to find out that her dad has changed the locks. He says she can't come in because she didn't bring her car back and that she needs to be more responsible. He locks her out and tells her to come back tomorrow with her car. Sammie goes next door and knocks on the door of Elise's apartment. They have a short conversation about how Sammie always seems to be hurt in some way and about her dad's drinking problem. Sammie then crashes on her couch for the night.
