Wild Kratts: The Perfect Storm

Wild Kratts: The Perfect Storm is a series special that takes place 2 years after the events of "Cats and Dogs", with new scenes involving the introduction of another animal protection team like the Wild Kratts and the first team-up of villains, Sabryn Rock taking over the role of Koki, Jeff Bennett for the role Gaston Gourmand, Wendie Malick for the role of Donita Donata, and Vincent Tong for Rex. Like how the Wild Kratts team consisted of five members with three boys and two females, that role is reversed for this other animal protection team. Some scenes were referenced by Cyberchase, another PBS Kids show, and the equipment is inspired by Captain Planet and the Planeteers, World of Winx, Charlie's Angels (2019), and Barbie: Spy Squad. It also marks the introduction of two new biologists: Jarod Miller, the host from Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, and Gavin Svenson, the scientist who discovered a new species of Praying Mantis and naming it in honor the Kratt brothers, as well as guest-starring in an episode on Wild Kratts. Also, some of the new characters are inspired by a few from Kratt brothers' recently created TV Show, Zoboomafoo.

Synopsis
After the recent defeats from the Wild Kratts team, Zach gathers Donita, Gaston, and Paisley for a meeting to plot their revenge and rid anyone who allies with the Wild Kratts, be it the Wild Kratts Kids or another animal protection team. It's their most diabolical plan yet that not only jeopardizes innocent lives, but also endangering the animals they protect; an onslaught of massive tornadoes. Meanwhile, the Wild Kratts meet another animal protection team, the Economineers. Who will win--the Wild Kratts or the villains?

Part 1
The episode opens with a live-action segment, where the Kratt brothers have taken shelter underground from a passing tornado in Oklahoma as they ask how Mother Nature affects the world we live in and the creatures when its dark side comes to light. Joining them is Jarod Miller, the biologist from Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, and their entomologist pal, Gavin Svenson. Afterwards, they all ask "What if?", and the segment transitions into a cartoon segment, with Jarod and Gavin joining the Kratt brothers on their adventure.

In a city where the Varmitech Industries building stands out, Zach has started a conference meeting with Donita Donata, Dabio, Gaston Gourmand, Paisley Paver, and Rex in his office to discuss the issue at hand; the Wild Kratts Crew. All the villains agreed that the Kratt brothers and their team have been nothing but a nuisance in their plans to use animals for their endeavors every time something sparks an idea in their minds to make their businesses well-known. And it's not just the crew; the Wild Kratts Kids also played a part in their intervention to tell the Kratt brothers of the villains' plans. Well, those days are over as Zach reveals his most diabolical plan yet. During their expedition in the wild, he remembers how the Wild Kratts always respected Mother Nature and the abilities she gives to the animals in order to survive, adapt, and endure such conditions. So, maybe they can use it to their advantage and show their enemies what happens when Mother Nature rears its ugly head, which brings Zach to put his most sinister plot into play; a massive onslaught of tornadoes. Now, one would think to find this plan overkill, but surprisingly the villains are in favor of the idea as means of eliminating everything the Wild Kratts hold dear. Although, creating a tornado itself seems easier said than done, and none have the proper materials to disrupt weather patterns around the globe. That's where Paisley comes in. A few months ago, Zach recommended for Paisley to provide supplies for creating weather drones so that Zach can manipulate the weather to create a powerful F6 tornado. After a little science and history lesson from Rex, Zach launches his weather disruption drones in order to start the cycle of producing funnel clouds so that a tornado forms and gains strength into its desired Fujita-scaled size.

Somewhere else in the Sonoran Desert, a lone campsite outpost stands out in the midst of the cactus, but it's not the Wild Kratts'. There's a balance beam, high bars, and pommel horses that seem to be for gymnastic practice, all lined up like an obstacle course as someone is taking notes on the progress being made with three girls taking on the course like pros. The person recording the progress is a man named Gavin Svenson, the very scientist who recently discovered a new species of praying mantis and named after the Kratt brothers in their honor.
