## **Plot**

The episode begins with the sunrise over the horizon and flowers coming to bloom, fading out of a black screen to a silent tropical wilderness. The sound of nothing is then interrupted by the echoes of seeming coconuts clamming together. The sound emerges from the noisy and relentless Spinel, attempting to open a coconut for a source of food. When she succeeds, she tastes nothing but a single droplet of milk from the coconut and throws it away in exhaust and irritation and expels about how hungry she is.

Steven concurs with her as his stomach rumbles. Peridot also agrees and says how there is nothing good for them to eat in their current area, even though she does not have to. The alien dog, Totogi, walks in unexpectedly with a large meaty animal leg, roughly his size. Spinel complains about how he can get all the food he wants, and the others do not. Lapis acknowledges that predators only get the meals they desire, and if they want it to, they must act like one. Spinel conjectures that Lapis meant the other do not have hunting talents, which Peridot questions soon after if *she* does. Spinel then boasts about how neither Peridot nor Lapis does, yet she does. Lapis effortlessly pulls out a hammer and hits Spinel and Peridot with it, then bluntly claims that only predators have talents, hinting that Spinel is not capable of such tasks.

Spinel then jumps up with enthusiasm and courage to push away the crew's lack of motivation, and Steven and Junior daydream of the delicious cuisines they could eat. Then Spinel stumbles upon the sight of a magnobird egg, which she plans to get. Peridot elucidates that stealing the egg would be dangerous despite its mother's absence, yet Spinel convinces her to agree to her swiftly thought out plan.

The next scene follows with Steven, Spinel, Junior and Peridot camouflaged in bushes and leaves and cautiously creep towards the egg. Spinel advises Steven, Junior and Peridot to patrol the area for the bird while she takes the egg. As she creeps towards it, she creates a lasso using a vine to grab it, but her clumsiness leads her to fall off a small cliff when pulling it and accidentally disturbs a wasps' nest. She runs away from the angry wasps chasing after her and dashes directly past, telling them to run. They notice the wasps chasing them, and as they run, they fall a muddy climb and slide straight into the angry magnobird mother, who wants her egg back. When the mother scares the wasps off when a menacing roar, the others run up a tree over a ledge in which she cannot climb. The gems and Junior tease her for her natural incapabilities until she headbutts the tree, branching more than half of the branch and sending Steven, Junior and Spinel into a swampy marsh pit. Peridot, who is still atop the branch, laughs hysterically at them. Yet to her dismay, is sent tumbling down to the marsh pit with them.

The new plan is in consideration and the Worlds Colliders compromise in a scorching hot savanna. Peridot comically brushes her teeth to remove the taste of the marsh water she fell in, then blames Spinel for the wacky idea. Spinel repudiates and blames Peridot instead whilst scratching her back dynamically due to the termite infestation in the savanna and going crazy because of it. Steven manages to calm her down, and Junior formulates a plan, asking Peridot to dress up like a bug and for Garnet to guard her. They both sneak around the egg's nest, using figurative walkie talkie with their fingers to communicate. Peridot uses her new appearance as a distraction for the bird, which works, and the bird leaves the egg alone. When Garnet secures the egg, Peridot hides in a herd of tusked ones until Garnet heads back to the others. The opposite happens, as the magnobird deliberately causes a pachyderm stampede to trample them. Peridot hangs by the tail of the colonel's son in an attempt to get the colonel's attention, this fails, and the herd runs straight into a cavern just the right size for all of them. The colonel mistakes the attack for a groundivore attack, which upsets Peridot. Despite her lack of amusement, she and Garnet attempt to free the tusked one herd but accidentally runs into a very unhappy magnobird.

A new plan is needed after Peridot and Garnet are badly hurt. Luckily, Steven comes up with a more well thought out plan. The next scene follows Steven and Lapis drifting away down a stream on a log, with the egg captured. Steven is calm and coordinated, assuming the plan would work. Lapis, on the other hand, is timid and stressed, hoping things do not go wrong, but calms down knowing Steven is fine about it. She notices the current picking up, which could not be good at all. Lucky enough for them, the bird spots them and attempts trying to get her egg back and getting rid of them for good. Before that happens, the log rides down a rocky current, separating Steven and Lapis simultaneously. Steven is driven away by the current and struggles to swim up to it but spots the egg floating away. Lapis climbs up a ledge and sees Steven panic swimming; she immediately dives back after him. The current begins dying out, and Steven manages to climb back up the log to safety, calling out for Lapis. She soon appears out of the water, and they both notice they had lost all signs of the bird. That was until the current begins to pick up again, leading straight to the end of the river - a giant waterfall. Lapis quickly informs Steven that the bark-eaters live beneath the waterfall, and they feed on whatever falls without paying attention. Before they could accidentally swan dive off the falls, the bird furiously throws a rooted tree at the log, sending the two flying into a natural watermelon patch.

Steven's plan did not go exactly to plan at all, which means it is time for a new one. Spinel comically suggests an egg exhibit, which Peridot does not like. Garnet advocates that building traps for the bird would be easy, with Steven and Junior digging a hole for the bird to fall in. Meanwhile, Peridot is building her additional traps, which Garnet did not advise her to do. Peridot creates a giant catapult to fire Junior directly at the bird to get her attention, rather than him using a slingshot with pebbles, leading to abrupt danger. Steven and Peridot run after the bird to get Junior back but run into Peridot's unnecessary traps instead, slowing them down. Spinel sees this as the right time to take advantage, attempting to save Junior herself, which fails as he falls on her. Steven and Peridot run straight into them, and the bird does not expect anything else. Lucky enough, Peridot has one last trap which is guaranteed to work, which eminently does. Spinel, who had escaped, get fired up by one of Peri's traps and decreases their chances of winning, freeing the bird and sending her straight into the tallest mountain in the jungle.

The sun begins to set, and the egg mission still has not concluded. Peridot suggests that the mother is only active in the day, which is why they keep on losing. But during the night, she will not be awake to know what is going on. They travel to the mesa plains, where the jungle and savanna partially meet. The bird is protecting her egg here for the night. Steven, who is in a tuxedo, is ready to get the egg again. Junior questions why he is wearing it, to which he replies it is to keep her calm with his "universe charm" and look formal. Junior boldly and bluntly approves and is ready to give the signal to the others. Steven creeps towards the egg quietly to not wake the bird up. When he secures it, the bird suddenly wakes up and chases him.

Junior notices the unanticipated approach to the egg after hearing Steven's echoing scream and delineates it as a "code blue". The others prepare themselves for impact in defiance, leaving Totogi to watch over them while they save Steven. Junior notices that the bird would be stunned by geysers, so he asks Lapis to set them off to confuse the bird. As the geysers go off, Steven throws the egg upwards for Spinel to grab it, which angers the bird more, causing her to chase Steven again with Lapis, Sapphire and Junior riding atop her. Peridot, Spinel and Ruby are left behind with the egg in their hands. That is until the egg took off out of their sight, running on its hatched legs. As Spinel and Ruby hunt it down, Peridot prepares to cook the rascal. When they think they succeed, Steven is still chased by the bird, going crazy, until he hides in a small cave, with Junior crashing through the roof. Junior tells him to sharpen up and use the charm he told him about before, giving him a double cherry for his getaway plan. Steven starts duplicating himself, confusing the bird as he teases her. The bird eventually realises his tricks and gradually gets angrier when she chases after him. Steven accidentally falls into a pit full of cactus thistles and yelps out with a painful scream.

Spinel, Peridot and Ruby watch over Steven and his shenanigans as the pot boil. When they finish joking around, they go to check on the egg, which has disappeared along with everything else. The little bird had escaped, making Peridot mad. They all chase after it and corner it into a wall. Spinel, with her greedy and hungry antics, snatching the little bird and almost swallows it. Before she can, Ruby pulls it out of her mouth and claims it is hers, then Peridot takes it and demands credit for her plan. While they all argue, the mother stands menacingly in front of them, with Steven and Junior riding on her back. The team are terrified whilst the bird is tempting to kill them. Peridot, who is retaining the semi-hatched egg, gives in and pledges to return the egg to its mother, quoting that she would spend the day hungry than steal from someone. The mother accepts, and her young follows her off into the distance. Spinel, the persistent one, is still hungry but offers for the others to eat the eggshell leftovers and amniotic fluid inside, to which they decline.
