- Once it gets clear that Lahey and Corey are having strange scratches the boys realize that the patrolling time is over. Sarah is extremely angry and decides not to let them work for Ricky and Julian.
- However, the boys come back to the fields looking for answers and clues. And then Bubbles discovers a trail following which they find a peacefully resting mountain lion!
- Bubbles is confident that the animal poses no danger since he has eaten high quantities of weed. And then he names the animal as explained above. He wants to carry out some detox process on him and hence takes him back to the park.

- Because Steve French has eaten a lot of Viagra infested burgers, he is aroused by Trevor’s leopard print jacket. In a strange turn off events Trevor claims that he was molested by the animal.
