Summary
Youssarian is still at work trying to get the babysitters to move burrows. As time passes, the little pup left on the dirt comes closer to death. Thankfully, young teenager Pookie saves the pup and returns it to the burrow. The rest of the babysitters help out and eventually put all of the pups back at the burrow entrance, where Mozart comforts them. When darkness falls, the main group return from foraging and are shocked to see the litters above ground. Flower immediately takes them back down into the burrow. The next morning Youssarian is found at a nearby burrow after spending the night away from the family. Rather than rejoining the group, he runs off by himself. Meanwhile, the Whiskers head off to go foraging with Flower's pups. For Cruise, Mitch, Rocky and Einstein, it's their first time away from the burrow. While father Zaphod watches for danger, each of the pups learn how to find and handle prey. When an eagle owl interupts the lesson, Shakespeare, Mozart and Tosca protect the pups while the rest of the group try to confuse the preator. Luckily, the owl becomes distracted by a goshawk and the group manage to escape.
The next morning, Youssarian was once again seen all alone. A thunderstorm occurs, bringing new life to the desert. The pups head out for their second hunting adventure. While the group's away, Youssarian returns to the babysitting burrow and initiates another burrow move. This time, the babysitters obey him and carry the pups across the desert. They run into the main group. Youssarian panics, drops the pup he was carrying and runs away before his brother catches him. Flower and Zaphod immediately assert their dominance and, in the chaos, the pup Youssarian dropped is missed. Flower leads everyone to a new den, but the dropped pup is forgotten. At the new burrow, Mozart notices that one of her pups is missing. She heads off to try and find it but fails. The next morning the forgotten pup is found dead, exactly where Youssarian left her.
