## **Plot**

This episode starts the next day after the first, with Junior attempting to get a coconut from a tree. Steven approaches behind him and tells him not to worry as he has both food and a surprise for him. As Junior mutters about the possible outcomes of the bewilderment, he soon peers at a hidden base behind a pile of logs. Junior induces a pessimistic reaction while Steven introduces it to him optimistically, showing him a custom campfire with a set of hammocks for them to sleep. Junior continues to complement Steven's efforts with a false smile but merely makes a pretence of happy feelings, then question why he thought it was a good idea for a villain to team up with a hero while Steven leaves to fetch more food.

After contemplating negatively on his actions, Junior continues to go after the same coconut he was trying to get before, but he falls out of the tree. He stumbles upon Steven, who is fishing in a lake with a provided supply of fish bounty. Steven suggests he should get some more coconuts to go with the fish. Junior agrees and walks off, privately muttering to himself angrily. The sun begins to set, and Junior runs back to the hidden base before danger occurs. He tells Steven how he was attacked by spiders, infuriating him more. Steven attempts to cheer him up by cooking him dinner, but his optimism gradually makes Junior grumpier. After dinner, the two get their well-deserved slumber.

Junior wakes up cranky and exhausted and sets off to find Steven gathering food for breakfast. Junior complains that he is sick and cold, so Steven requests to make him a blanket out of leaves. The angry Junior questions why Steven is treating this all like they are in a paradise, indicating that they both treat the jungle as either home or an awful place. He impatiently asks when they can save the gems, but Steven wants to make sure that Junior is okay before setting off. Finally, they conclude to saving their friends and venture off to find them.

Meanwhile, Bowser is atop a fallen asteroid in a meteor shower field, attempting to make the prism obey him. Kamek swoops in just in time to try and help him. Bowser implies that Junior was holding him back and that he, unfortunately, had to leave him behind. Kamek indicates that the prism could be hiding due to the dark environment, meaning they must move to a naturally lighter place. Bowser accepts and anticipates that the plan could assuredly work. However, Kamek notifies him that Steven had entered the planet with an unknown sidekick that looked like Bowser. Jr. Before a battle could ensue, Kamek invites Bowser's noble troops to indulge in stopping the duo from ruining his plans.
