## Summary

Bjorn heads out to the Fort bright and early. Stanley lets him in and Bjorn goes to talk with Miguel. Miguel hands him the harpoon gun that he's crafted for them with the Big Gator's tooth as the point of the weapon. Sammie arrives at the Fort a few hours later. They try to make a plan to take down the Big Gator. They decide they should probably have a distraction up front to draw the monster's attention and someone behind to shoot it with the harpoon gun. Henry works on tracking down a good location for them to have their showdown online and comes up with three locations. After analyzing the locations, they choose their spot.

The group heads over to Big Gator Swamp. Sammie sets up in a tree so that she can draw the Gator's attention toward her and open up opportunities for Bjorn to hit it with the harpoon gun. Henry volunteers to be 'bait' and draw the monster out of the water. Bjorn gives him the grenade launcher with one last shot to use to defend himself. Stanley is hidden nearby in the woods to intervene if need be.

Not long after Henry enters the water, it starts to bubble and the Big Gator appears. He shoots the Gator with the grenade launcher and then is sent flying. Bjorn take the opportunity to shoot it while it's distracted and gets it with the harpoon gun. Sammie tries to keep its attention while Bjorn gets the harpoon and shoots it with her sniper rifle. Bjorn takes another shot with the harpoon gun and hits it directly in the eye, blinding it. The Gator knocks Bjorn out of the tree he'd been in.

Henry takes his chance to throw a knife at the Gator. He hits its eye, but it closes the membrane over its eye and the knife bounces off. Henry is quickly swatted away by the monster's tail. Sammie takes one last shot with her sniper rifle and downs the monster. Bjorn calls in H.U.N.T.E.R. to clean up the mess.

Later on, Bjorn gets a call from Indigo. Indigo tells him that he's being reassigned to stay in Thornvale as it appears to be some kind of hotbed for monster activity. He starts working on his report, but gets a text message from Stanley asking him to meet him at the Fort. Sammie also receives a similar text to meet at the Fort.

When they meet at the Fort, Stanley reveals that he needs help training Henry. He says that he and Miguel have been the protectors of this area for a while, but since Miguel's accident it's been much harder and that he was recently diagnosed with MS, making it even more difficult. He pleads for them to help him with training Henry and the two agree.
