Howie who was nearby saw what happened and decided to tell Kissyfur everything. Kissyfur, after hearing what happened, decides to get someone to help rescue the cubs and Charles.

At the Gators' home, Jolene and Floyd are ready to make shish-kabobs out of the captives, until they see a Mud monster which looks like the Swami.
