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 in their habitats when its dark side comes to light. Joining them is Jarod Miller, the animal adventurer 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. The other person next to him is a man named Jarod Miller, the animal adventurer like the Kratt brothers and head of an animal protection team called the Economineers. The three girls who finished the course with flying colors are training to be secret agents called the Kratts' Angels, and their names are Jackie, Amy, and Daisy Ortega, the Economineers' third-in-command and creator of the Angels' equipment like Aviva. Jarod proudly announces as the girls progress in their training, they will be one step closer to becoming secret agents and awarded with the title of Kratts' Angels. But their brief celebration is put on hold when an alert goes off on their Pawprint Watches. A meteorological phenomenon has occurred in the Sonoran Desert, which is very unusual. But sure enough, the minute they look up, dark grey clouds started to appear, and they looked nasty. Something doesn't seem right. Gavin asked if he could take the girls to safety, but Jarod sternly recommended that Gavin comes with him to investigate this strange weather behavior and report it to the Wild Kratts Kids of North America, but not before telling Daisy to drive themselves back to headquarters away from the storm. Daisy is unsure about leaving them behind. Jarod has been like a father-figure to her ever since her parents were killed in an accident that resulted from a collision course with a truck, and Gavin was like a brother-figure she never had when he was tutoring her at a Science camp Aviva and Zach go to as kids, and he's been kind enough to homeschool her alongside Jackie and Amy when they were taking gymnastic classes every spring and summer. Jarod senses her hesitation and assures her that nothing will happen to him and Gavin when they're at a safe distance from the storm, which is why he's entrusting the task to her, Jackie and Amy. Daisy is reluctant about it, but she takes his word for it and starts up the caravan (donned the Krattsmobile), driving down the road to warn the citizens of the approaching storm, while Jarod and Gavin ride in Jarod's Hummer 2 truck to find out what is going on with the weather. Daisy, Jackie and Amy had to make a few stops to find any Wild Kratts Kid whose house is in the Sonoran Desert, along with a family member they live with, before making it to a small neighborhood where Gavin, Ronan, Aiden, Nolan and even the Kratt brothers' mom are residing so they can escort them to safety where the Economineers' headquarters is located. While that's going on, Jarod and Gavin spotted rotation in the clouds and at the last minute, a tornado has touched down right in front of the scientists. Jarod was able to stop just in time, but the truck is still moving. It's as if it's being pulled...towards the tornado! Jarod tries to drive backwards, but the strength of the tornado is too strong. In fact, it's more powerful than an F4 and an F5. That's when Jarod and Gavin realize that this tornado is an F6. But that's impossible. No other tornado in the world can surpass an F5 ratio, and it's the strongest tornado ever recorded in US history. However, neither have time to discuss it because the truck is getting close to being lifted off the ground, so Jarod and Gavin got out of there before they could get sucked in. They took cover behind a rock formation to avoid being blown away...only to find themselves in front of a Zachbot, and before either could get away, the robot grabbed Jarod and Gavin and took them to Zach's jet, where an entire assembly line of weather disruption drones is being manufactured. And who goes over to the two scientists to gloat? Zach, Donita, Gourmand and Paisley introduced themselves, only to recognize Gavin Svenson as the scientist who has discovered a new species of praying mantis and named it after the Kratt brothers in their honor, which infuriates Zach so greatly that he would want to kill him had Donita not hold him back and remind him the whole reason why the villains want him alive in the first place; to have him discover a newer animal species so that they can use it in their endeavors and named after them for glory and money, much to Jarod's disbelief. All of that just so the villains can have the fame because of their jealousy of the Wild Kratts? Not only is it ridiculous, but that's totally stooping so low, especially after all the crimes Zach attempted to commit just to get the credit the Wild Kratts have earned in their adventures. And the fact that he was able to create a powerful F6 tornado to destroy animal habitats, as well as demolishing people's homes in its path. Now, that's just twisted, even for them. But Paisley could care less what Zach has done, as long as she gets to put up all the storage warehouses for the whole world to see; an upgrade for Donita's fashion arsenal and an entire chef's set for Gourmand. Speaking of twisted, the tornado that Zach created is still moving and his jet is being pulled towards that they had fly away from it and above the clouds so they don't get caught in its path. And with a frequency jammer online, Jarod and Gavin can't call the Wild Kratts...or anyone!

An hour later in the aftermath, Wild Kratts minus Chris, who had just gone to check the small town where the Wild Kratts Kids and Mom Kratt had lived, were surveying the damage from the tornado from Tortuga HQ up in space and to say that this looks devastating would have been an understatement. Gavin, Ronan, Aiden, Nolan, and many other Wild Kratts Kids and their families are all safe, but they're still shook up from the storm, and their houses are all gone. What's more, when Koki attempted to call anyone about the approaching storm, she was unable to track their Creature Pods because the twister has knocked out all power that provided telecommunication. The only thing they could get from the Creature Pods is on the big screen, and from what they can tell is that they're in some kind of secret base hidden underneath all the rocky structure. But it does give Koki the chance to trace the signal and provide co-ordinates for Jimmy Z to fly to that location...in Oljata-Monument Valley of Arizona, but not before texting Chris the location, who promises to meet up with the Wild Kratts Crew as soon as he's done looking over the rubble. As expected, the dark clouds looked angry over there too, but no one can deny the beautiful landscapes around them. Chris hasn't arrived yet, which is a good thing because sooner or later, the weather is bound to have some nasty surprises in store. So while they wait, Jimmy parks the Tortuga near what could hopefully be the strongest rock formation in the valley so that it doesn't get blown away by strong and heavy winds, as well as putting it in cloaking mode to avoid being raided by Zach or anyone else who'd want to steal from the Wild Kratts. Luckily for them, they are able to get a stronger signal from the Wild Kratts Kids' Creature Pods as they walk towards the source. But then, they hear a roar as loud as a freight train, one of the many signs that could mean...a tornado! The second they turned around, they see not one, not two, but seven tornadoes! And they're smaller compared to the one that destroyed the whole neighborhood. Regardless, they are surrounded and even if they could get out of their path, they can't outrun a tornado, let alone a multi-vortex. That is, until someone called out from one of the buttes. Daisy is standing by what looks like a hidden passageway within the West Mittens Butte and calls the Wild Kratts over to take shelter with her, Jackie and Amy. The four obliged without question and Daisy closed the door just as the tornado passes by. As they walk down the stairs to their underground headquarters, Martin thanked the three girls and Daisy returned it before introducing herself, Jackie and Amy, and Martin did the same with Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy. Amy instantly recognizes them at the Wild Kratts, to which Jimmy proudly confirmed, and Aviva immediately recognized Daisy as an old friend she knew from when they were at Science camp as kids. Koki then revealed the reason they're in Monument Valley is because the Wild Kratts Kids called the crew about the tornado that destroyed their small neighborhood after Daisy drove everyone to safety in their underground headquarters, and to find two people named Jarod Miller and Gavin Svenson who are meant to call the team before the tornado hit. The three girls revealed that Jarod is the founder and head of another animal protection team called the Economineers, and Gavin, the entomologist who named the praying mantis after the Kratt brothers in their honor, is the girls' mentor who acts as a Bosley of sorts. And before anyone can say anything, Daisy jokingly revealed that Jarod is the Charlie Townsend of the Economineers and she, Jackie and Amy are the Angels, much to everyone's amusement. Aviva then asks where are Jarod and Gavin now, which makes Daisy worry when she revealed that they went to investigate the weird weather occurence, and she hasn't seen them since everything got demolished. What's really scary is that no one knows how it happened, and some of the animals have already lost their homes because of it, which the girls have also managed to rescue. And Daisy hasn't been able to reach Jarod and Gavin with her Pawprint Watch since the storm hit. Aviva can see the tears threatening to spill from her eyes, knowing how close she was to Jarod and Gavin, so she gives her a comforting hug and reassures her that they're doing just fine and that they've probably gone for help.

Meanwhile, her prediction about Jarod and Gavin is wrong as the two are still be held hostage by Zach and the other villains on his jet, having to endure Zach's obsessive ranting about having any new animal species after him. And no matter how many times Jarod tries to convince him that science doesn't work that way, Zach's own stupidity and lack of understanding just dismisses the idea all-together. What's worse, as long as the Zachbots watch his every move, Gavin can't sneak around to at least send a distress call to the girls. So, until they come up with a plan to escape, all Jarod and Gavin can do is "appeal" to the villains to avoid suspicion.

Back at the Economineers' headquarters, as the girls are showing around their base to the Wild Kratts, they eventually found Gavin, Ronan, Aiden, Nolan, Katie, Sani, Jenny, Ava, Javier, Manuel, and their families including Mom Kratt in an animal rehab room, who are all happy to see their favorite animal adventurers safe and sound, except one person is missing; Chris. And it's too dangerous to go out and find him, especially with a monster tornado still rampaging from out of nowhere. Chances are that he may be caught in the tornado's grip and could be blown away in another direction. And even with smaller vehicles or the Creature Power Suits, they're not strong enough to fight against heavy winds up to over 300 miles per hour; way over. Plus, the Tortuga can't take any more beating, especially after their encounter with a dust devil on the prairie. But there is another way; Jackie can pinpoint Chris's last known location with her Pawprint Watch. They work just like the Kratts' Creature Pods, but they also access computer systems from such a distance by tracking an energy signature similar to its source, and can block outside sources that can track their own location like 3rd-block parties. Luckily, Jimmy remembers that he parked the Tortuga nearby a few feet from the Economineers' base, so Jackie can use the signal from there like Wi-Fi on smartphones and track Chris's last location. And it worked! He's only hours away from the demolished site where the girls rescued the citizens. Now, if tracking Jarod and Gavin's location was easier that way, and Daisy's tried twice since the rescue. It's not like for them to be gone this long, and as if things aren't weird enough, tornadoes shouldn't be popping up more than once, either. What is going on? No one knows the answer to both of those questions, and there's not much anyone can do about it except wait for Chris and get the wild animals to the nearest wildlife conservation center where they can be checked on for injuries, treated with care, and feel right at home before going back to "living free and in the wild", as Martin puts it.

Meanwhile with the villains, Paisley has started paving over the rubble of the destroyed neighborhood to build warehouses where the Wild Kratts Kids' homes were, with Donita's Mannequin Robots and Zach's Zachbots assisting the construction, and Gourmand made lemonade just in case they get thirsty. While that's going on, Jarod was able to sneak a frequency disruption laser on the jammer with his Pawprint Watch, allowing communications on all devices again. Unfortunately, because they've been gone this long, all of their battery power is nearly empty, which means he and Gavin can't send a distress call to the Wild Kratts or the girls for help. For now, all they can do is keep up the act until help arrives.

Back at the Economineers' base, as the animals are being prepped for the animal conservation center, the Wild Kratts get a look at the other gadgets designed and created by Daisy herself; aside from the Pawprint Watches and the Krattsmobile, there's a 3D Disc Creator with built-in mold, laser-induced plasma, scanning, metal deposition, sculpting, and press functions, a quantum computer system with a cyber portal and Pocket Dimension Materializing Drives (PDMD's), a portable teleporter, nanotech assemblers, Creature Power Shrugs (altered versions of Creature Power Suits) with matching gauntlets instead of gloves, keypad nails with synaptic interfacing, a Minimalizer (the handheld remote version of the Kratts' Miniaturizer), and Mobile Design and Repair Kit (MDRK). The only other invention that's hanging next to the Creature Power Shrugs in the "In Progress" section is a high tech catsuit; it's just missing a mask to match! Why? Because it's needed for these very reasons; concealing one's identity, absorbs glare, promotes agility, and it's meant blend into the darkness. The only other function it's missing is maintaining invisibility without setting off security measures, while also promoting bioluminescence to see in the dark. The gloves and boots are already complete with electrostatic magnetism for gripping and walking on walls, ceilings and glass, with the boots having padded soles that muffle sound and the gloves produces bioluminescent nylon silk (like spider's silk) that stick to the ceiling so that the wearer slides down the rope with ease. Aviva has never seen such inventions before, nor had she any idea she'd have that kind of influence on anyone like Daisy. She did say that when she was a kid, she wanted to be a biofashion designer one day; but to Aviva, she may have already gotten her wish. Speaking of which, Daisy has started doing head count to ensure that every animal is safe and secured for the conservation center--while also taking animal samples like fur or feathers--so that Jimmy can teleport them with his controller, which he took with him along with a few other tools before leaving the Tortuga. Although, her worries about Jarod's mysterious disappearance haven't diminished yet. Martin confides in her that Jarod will be proud of how much she's doing for all the creatures of the world, even calling her Special Agent Daisy as if he really meant it. Daisy accepted the compliment as thanks, admitting that she's a secret agent-in-training before going full-fledged, one day. But then, at the last second, an alert goes off on the Pawprint Watches; an Amber Alert. And after what happened at the girls' obstacle course, that means a tornado has formed somewhere close to Monument Valley. But where's Chris? Jackie projects a radar from her Pawprint Watch, and sure enough there's a tornado moving from the south...and Chris's signal right in front of the storm! Then, Jackie gets a call on Pawprint Watch and answers it to see... Chris! He's on his Buzz Bike trying to find the Tortuga's location, and a massive tornado just appeared out of nowhere before his Creature Pod had gone off. But he's getting beaten by lots of debris and could be blown off-course if they don't do something, quick! Those pleas have been answered when Amy runs in with something in her hand; a tiny mechanical ring that could fit on an index finger. And it looks the Ring Chip Aviva once invented that's meant to prevent malfunctions for the Creature Power Suits, and the Activation Ring that powers the Teleporter. Well, that ring Amy's holding also acts as a means of transportation. Using the signal from the Creature Pod, she throws it in the air, the ring growing and opens a portal allowing Chris to fly through...right into both teams before either could get out of the way. Good thing he got in before the portal closed or he's done for. Chris wakes up dazed, only to realize that his helmet fell off upon impact and ended up on Daisy backwards, who's struggling to pull it off. Chris helps her out and when he pulls it off of her completely, he just felt his heart stopped all-together. The moment she opened her eyes, Daisy felt her heart stop, too. Neither can take their eyes off one another as he helped her stand on her feet before looking away shyly. It was silence for a few seconds until Chris broke it by introducing himself and Daisy doing the same. Then, that moment is interrupted when the Wild Kratts Kids and Mom Kratt came rushing in after hearing the crash, which Chris and Daisy aren't too upset about. They needed some time to figure out what just happened, anyway. Mom Kratt ran to her youngest son, crying with joy that he's alright and not hurt. To Daisy, it was a heartwarming sight to witness, as it reminds her how her parents felt when she graduated from elementary school at age 10 and moving on to high school. That is, until she couldn't go to public schools anymore after what happened to her parents. Martin, Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy all asked various questions as to where Chris has been the whole time they have taken shelter in the Economineers' base. He tells them that he was scouring over the rubble of what remained of the many houses when he noticed something's off about the tornado's damage path. The width of its size was unusually larger than an F4 and F5 put together. Fortunately, he's taken a soil sample to give to Aviva so she can analyze whatever components is left behind from the tornado. And when he used the satellite to scan the terrain with his Creature Pod, the sight made his heart drop and sent shivers down his spine. The damage path has extended all the way across the US, further than the Tri-State Tornado! Daisy, Jackie and Amy are all shocked to hear this because from what Jarod and Gavin were talking about on their Pawprint Watches, it's really happened; it was an F6 tornado that destroyed the neighborhood homes. Now, everyone is shocked. What was once a weather myth for years has now come true. Daisy starts to worry again and asked Chris if he's seen Jarod and Gavin anywhere, whom sadly replied to have no such luck. He did, however, spotted something when he was scanning the map; a now-wrecked Hummer 2 truck on the damage path. Daisy, Jackie and Amy recognized it as Jarod's Hummer, which means that he and Gavin are alive to their relief, but confirmed Daisy's suspicions that they're still missing. While Jackie tracks the vehicle's signal (assuming that it's still working) for Jimmy to teleport it, Martin, Aviva, and Koki get Chris up about what has been going on since he was out; about destroyed animal habitats, the people's houses being gone as well, the three girls coming to the rescue before the storm hit, and most of the wild animals being sent to a conservation center where they'll be safe until their original habitats are being rebuilt, much to Chris's relief and impressed attitude. Maybe now, they can focus on the very parts to this mystery; where are Jarod and Gavin, why are there so many tornadoes popping out of nowhere when they only occur once a year per season, and how did one tornado suddenly get powerful enough to surpass the ratio of an F5? Plus, the original Fujita scale has been outdated since 2007, that it was upgraded to Enhanced Fujita scale and still possesses the same method as the first; a rating from EF0 to EF5, and the EF5 is just as strong as the original F5 with the strongest wind speeds of over 300 miles per hour. So, why didn't the radar pick up the EF rating just as soon it's been spotted? So many questions, and no answers. Yet. For now, all they can do is teleport the Hummer 2 truck back to base for repairs and analyze the soil sample. While Jackie takes the sample to the lab, Daisy uses the PDMD to materialize the vehicle so she can get a look at what can be refined and what can be repaired via crystal-based nanotech. The metal frames on the truck don't look too badly damaged, thankfully, but the engine, the batteries, and even the fuselage need aserious repair, tune-up, and an upgrade. Chris has never seen this sort of technology other than what Aviva creates, and Daisy learned all of this when Gavin was mentoring her at Science Camp. While she's focused on her work, Chris could feel his face heat up every time that image of her face appears in his mind. He and Martin may have seen some of nature's beautiful creations in the wild, but he has never seen a human with her own natural beauty like how he sees in Daisy. Her silky, smooth and soft black hair, her gorgeous brown eyes, and her smile whenever there's good news or when she needed a laugh, which made his heart beat so fast like the wing flaps of a hummingbird. He's never felt anything like this before, and this way different than when he and Martin harnessed the powers of the Asian elephants. No, this is something that felt...natural. For him, that is. But how is he going to explain this to his brother? Or their mom? Or the crew? He's gotta figure something out, and soon. But then, another Amber Alert goes off on the Pawprint Watches and the Creature Pods, and the next thing they know, the base is shaking and a roar is heard from outside. Another tornado has formed... in Monument Valley! And that's not the only problem; Jackie's not done with isolating the chemicals from the soil yet, and neither is Daisy with the virtual repairs for the Hummer 2 truck! It's not possible, but these tornadoes will occur almost everywhere when the conditions are right, and some geographical areas are more prone to these conditions than others. And then, Koki's realized something else; the Tortuga! It's still in cloaking mode, which means that it's not in lockdown mode! Everyone's fears are realized when the Tortuga is thrown on top of the West Mitten Butte, exposing the inside of the base, and knocking everyone to the floor. The Wild Kratts Kids and Mom Kratt have managed to get out of the way safely, but not the Crew and the Economineers. They're holding on to everything as tight as they can, except Chris. He has his head down, but he can't get a grip! And he would have been sucked inside the tornado hadn't Daisy grabbed him by the hands and acted as a counterbalance against the wind with her electrostatic magnetic shoes. Fortunately, as luck would have it, the tornado dissapated, causing Chris to drop on top of Daisy. At least, he got off her quickly before anyone noticed and helped her stand on her feet again. But he just couldn't help it; she saved him again that he had to hug her as thanks. Daisy, on the other hand, can't help but feel how awkward this is and her face is reddening like crazy, especially with this many people around. Chris realized the situation and pulled away from her, now understanding why she was feeling stiff in his arms and not hugging back, apologizing in an instant. Daisy snaps out of it finally and accepts, making it like never happened. Luckily for her, the quantum computer system didn't get damaged as the repairs, tune-up and upgrades on the Hummer 2 truck ate still progressing, as is the chemical isolation from the soil sample, but the damage to both the Tortuga and their base has put them in some serious condition, and even taken a huge chunk of the foundation from the West Mitten Butte that gave these rock formations their name. But there is another unexpected aspect in the aftermath of a tornado; the inspiration to rebuild and give back. After seeing and hearing how much the Wild Kratts have done for all the animals of the world, it was time that the Economineers did them a favor, starting with repairing the Tortuga, and maybe their own base while they're at it.

To be continued...

The episode transitions into the concluding live action segment. The Kratt brothers, Jarod and Gavin all come out of the storm shelter and take in the sight around them; so many houses are reduced to rubble, and farm ranches completely demolished after the passing storm. As help arrived afterwards, all four concluded the episode by saying "Keep on creature adventuring! See you all on the creature trail!".

Part 2
The episode begins with a live action segment. The brothers Kratt, Jarod Miller and Gavin Svenson are riding in the Createrra, which is attached to a caravan trailer, as they survey the area to learn how animals react to the weather as a means of survival. 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, just like before.

Continued from the previous episode...

Amy uses the PDMD to materialize the Tortuga so Daisy can do a virtual repair, reinforce the plating, and give it a few upgrades since she was already done with repairing Jarod's Hummer 2 truck, while everyone else cleans up the base and Jackie utilizing the nanotech assemblers to repair the ceiling...not to mention restoring the foundation of the West Mitten Butte. After a while, everything is back to normal. Well, almost. The repairs on the Tortuga are done, but the metal reinforcing and upgrades are taking longer than expected, so it might take a while for the HQ to be used to the new modifications being added, and that whatever specifications Aviva's made recently aren't affected by it. Though, the speed of its progress is making Daisy sleepy, that she set it to automatic upgrading so she can stretch her legs, heads to the kitchen, and get her energy back up with her home-made Matcha latte. She felt better, but something else was on her mind. Chris walks in to find her awake when she confessed to have not been asleep for she was up all day and night making sure the Tortuga is fully repaired until it can be used again. She's lost in her thoughts again, which Chris has noticed and asked what was on her mind. Daisy tells him that she wishes Jarod and Gavin are back in the Economineers' base safe and sound. But where are they? It shouldn't take this long for them to turn up.

Unfortunately, Daisy's assumptions are far from the truth as both scientists are still with the villains, holding in their disgust when Donita's making them wear the most atrocious clothing ever created by fashion designers, and having them as models on a practice runway, especially since she used her "persuasive charm" to convince the boys where to find certain praying mantises in North America. Jarod, against his will, gave in and types the specific co-ordinates on where to find the mantises because knowing Zach, Donita might tell him about Jarod and Gavin's refusal, that Zach will likely use them to blackmail Aviva into giving him all the Wild Kratts' technology and use them for his own needs. But unbeknownst to Donita, however, Jarod's only sent her on a wild goose chase as a distraction to keep the villains from knowing about the Economineers' base so he can send a drone (which he snuck from the assembly line and reprogrammed) to warn the Wild Kratts and the girls. The only thing that none of the villains didn't notice was Jarod and Gavin were not wearing their Pawprint Watches because they have been placed on the drone so that way, the Wild Kratts and Daisy, Jackie, and Amy can trace the signal on the drone back to the source.

Back at the Economineers' HQ, Daisy is giving Chris a tour as they talk about the many things she's done with Jarod and Gavin over the years, like going on road trips, camping the outdoors, and learning about the environment and its secrets. When they reach her room, which is between Jackie and Amy's rooms, the sight made Chris go weak at the knees. There are two workstations mirroring both sides of the room; one where she does biofashion designing with denim, khaki, polymer and nylon fabrics, and one where she would create certain gadgets that be beneficial for going on missions with the use of her quantum computer system and virtual reality nanotech assembly. At the back of the room is a hammock bed where she can look at the pictures of her life on the with Jackie and Amy, Jarod and Gavin, and pictures of Science camp with Aviva. Chris is so dazed by the room, that he bumped into one of the workstations which had another picture frame he knocked over and caught it before it hits the floor. When he apologized, he saw two people with young Daisy in the picture, whom he could be assuming are her parents. His assumptions are right as she told him that it was the only memory she's had since elementary school, which confused Chris. From what he was told by the Kratts, Daisy was said to be homeschooled most of her life, but none of them didn't want to bother her because it was a sensitive subject to talk about. Taking deep breaths, she plucked up the courage to tell her story. When she was a kid having graduated from the 6th grade, she was rewarded by her parents to spend the summer at Science camp where she met Aviva, Jackie, Amy, Gavin...and Zach. When summer was coming to an end, it was time to come home. The only two people who didn't arrive to pick up Daisy were her parents. What felt like minutes feels like hours for Daisy. Gavin came walking by and escorted her to the scoutmaster's office. After explaining the situation, the scoutmaster offered for Daisy to stay in his cabin until he receives news of her parents. It wasn't until a few hours later when Gavin brought Daisy back into the office. The scoutmaster's received news,...and it's not good. There's been an accident that resulted in a collision course with a truck. Daisy's parents were in that accident...and they didn't survive. The news broke Daisy like a ton of bricks. Her parents are gone. She felt her heart shattering into a million pieces as she cried, Gavin hugging her comfortingly as she continued. In the present, Daisy felt her tears falling after telling that story to Chris, who felt his own heart aching for her. He can only imagine how it feels if he lost his brother. That memory was one of the worst moments in her life, and she had no idea how she'd get over it until meeting Jarod and the rest of the Wild Kratts. Chris didn't say anything, but instead gives her a hug because he felt that she needed it. Daisy didn't feel awkward about it this time and hugged him back, crying in his shoulder, and Chris didn't mind letting her cry as much as she needed to. Neither of them know that Martin, Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy all watched the scene, having heard everything from Daisy's story, and feeling so sorry for her.

But no other person is more concerned for Daisy than Jarod, who's been assisting Donita to find any praying mantis species that could be hiding in a field of bushes. He'd ask for Gavin to help out, but he's with the other villains trying to keep them occupied from looking for the Wild Kratts, while also causing little "accidents" to their machines in preventing Zach from creating more weather drones. Good thing that Zach's Zachbots are the least intelligent machines, despite the many upgrades their master gavlem.

At the Economineers' HQ, Daisy felt a little better after letting out all the pain she's held for so long, but she's still anxious that Jarod and Gavin have not answered on their Pawprint Watches, and all she hears is static like the few times her calls are left unanswered. Chris reassures her that they know what they're doing, but she doesn't feel so sure. So far, no Amber Alerts had gone off on everyone's devices, so the weather should be calmer for a safe ride on the Tortuga. And maybe Aviva can get a look at the upgrades Daisy has added since its repair. But outside the base, the skies are anything but clear, just cloudier than ever since the storm outbreak. And even though they don't look darker than they were before, they still look heavier to precipitate some kind of weather, and the barometric pressure is cooler than normal. Even so, both teams need to keep their guard up for anything out of the ordinary and be wary of the clouds' behavior.

At the villains' campout, minus Donita, Zach is working feverishly to get his jet's engine working since an "unfortunate accident" that had occurred mysteriously and the assembly line for weather disruption drones has stopped working. No one noticed that Gavin had been sneaking around cutting the wires with his multi-tool that have built-in wire cutters to make it look like an accident and not sabotage. With the villains busy with their own machines, Gavin was able to hotwire one of Zach's Zachbots into transmitting a signal to send help. Unfortunately, he's been found out...by Paisley and Rex. And he's not the only one; Donita and Dabio had come back with Jarod pose-beamed frozen after Donita figured out that he fooled her into discovering a new species of praying mantis and sent her on a wild goose chase as a diversion to keep the villains from manufacturing more weather disruption drones. Jarod and Gavin are completely trapped and can only hope that help comes to pull them out of the mess they've gotten themselves into.

At Monument Valley, Chris and Daisy are having lunch inside the Krattsmobile, eating homemade flourless and ovenless marbled chocolate matcha brownies, and mochaccino latte. Daisy has already gotten so many compliments on the upgrades for the Tortuga, which are extra six Activation Rings for the teleporter so that it can teleport both non-living and living objects, a batch of new and improved Ring Chips with reinforced metal that allows liquid to slide off so that they doesn't short-circuit and an antiviral program in the case of Zach taking control of the Wild Kratts technology time and time again, nanotech assemblers to upgrade their Creature Power Suits, and a 3D Disc Creator for Aviva so that she can create more Creature Power Discs with no time at all. She's even left Creature Power Drives so that Aviva can save data for every creature power ever programmed, and even Jimmy's Controller is upgraded with a built-in monitor function so that he can control the Flycam and Fishcam with ease. And his own portable Teleporter to boot! As for Koki, she is given two of the most wonderful gifts; her own mobile quantum computer system with a cyber portal for her PDMD's, and a Mobile Design and Repair Kit with a special compartment to store her Master Control Tablet. Chris confides in Daisy that Jarod and Gavin are going to be so proud when they see and hear what she, Jackie and Amy have done, but Daisy still wishes they'd come back soon, and they've never been gone this long. Just then, a motion sensor goes off on the touchscreen tabletop computer. Something seems to be heading in their direction, but it's nothing weather-related. Then, they hear pattering noises like something is hitting the exterior of the vehicle. Daisy opens the door to see...a loggerhead shrike! But how can it be? She was sure the girls rescued all the animals they could when the storm hit. So, how is a loggerhead shrike able to survive such harsh conditions? As if it heard her question, the loggerhead shrike flies in front of the Krattsmobile, like it's telling her to follow and she starts up the Krattsmobile, but not before Chris lets the others know what's happening and keep him posted on the soil sample he's found. They followed it to another famous rock formation south of Monument Valley; the Moenkopi Formation. Seems like the kind of place to get a view of the terrain where one can spot a tornado. Chris and Daisy continue following the loggerhead shrike around the mountain to find a small cavern filled with...more shrikes! And it's just one species alone; there are northern shrikes, desert wrens, finches, and so many others all cooped up in the cave. Most birds either hibernate or migrate for the winter, but when something feels ripe with severe weather, especially if there's tornadic activity, a lot of animals would move to a safe distance away from the storm and seek shelter. For birds, it's in a small cavern in the mountains. Daisy lamented on having no idea that animals would have that kind of reaction to the weather conditions and move to a safe location, and realized that she should've let nature take its course. Chris forgives her for that by reminding her that she did the right thing in getting the animals away from disaster, and is certain that Jarod and Gavin would be very proud knowing how much she's done for the animals. And Chris is proud, too, which made Daisy smile gratefully, something that Chris wanted to see. But then, there was a familiar breeze in the air, and the minute they look up, the clouds began to darken as they roll overhead. When they reach the top of the Moenkopi Formation, sure enough there's rotation across from where they are. And there's the sound of...a jet engine? Chris and Daisy turn to the source and see four familiar aircrafts coming in for a landing. They slid back down and peek behind the mountain to see Zach, Donita, Gourmand, and Paisley...with Jarod and Gavin chained up! Chris calls the Wild Kratts and the Economineers about the situation, thus revealing that they're the culprits behind the whole weather disruption plot. Amy confirmed Chris's theory sound when her analysis from the soil sample is said to be consistent of a variety of chemicals used in creating cement, tar, and and other construction purposes, which means that Paisley has played a part in this endeavor, too. And that's not all; they even found one of Zach's weather's disruption drones at the their doorstep, containing the same components that were in the soil. And what's worse, they've parked just a few distances away from the West and East Mitten Buttes where the Economineers' HQ is located, which means that if they find it, they'll likely steal the inventions and discover the Tortuga, too! Chris tells the others to meet up with them and bring whatever Creature Power Disc necessary to prevent the villains from discovering the Economineers' base. After the call ended, Daisy's ready to jump in and save her father and brother figures, but Chris stops her, silently telling her to wait for the others to come and then they'll go and rescue Jarod and Gavin. And on cue, a portal opens up, the Wild Kratts and the Economineers jumping through, all wearing Creature Power Suits and Shrugs (Jimmy included), and Creature Power Discs prepped for activation. Now, they just need a plan of action. Daisy has one, thankfully.

After discussing the plan, Daisy, with her backpack on, Jackie and Amy sneak around Zach's jet, while avoiding being spotted by Zachbots that are acting as sentries on the lookout for intruders. There's only two guarding at the entrance, which is a pretty obvious number for Zach to have as his guards. Jackie pulls something from her pocket, ties it around a rock, and throws it farther away from the jet, gaining the Zachbots' attention to the point of being electrocuted and falling apart. Turns out, the device tied around the rock was an EMP grenade. Now, the girls are able to sneak on-board the jet, finding Jarod and Gavin behind a laser security prison, who are so glad to see the girls again, especially upon seeing Daisy. Jackie disables the lock with her Pawprint Watch, freeing Jarod and Gavin, and ran out of the jet...only to be met up with a whole army of Zachbots and Zach on his hovering pedestal, along with Donita, Dabio, Gourmand, Paisley, and Rex with weapons in hand. Jarod is afraid for Daisy because the moment Zach turned his attention towards her and instantly recognized her from Science camp, he looked like he was about to kill her for intervention with his plans. Gavin stepped in to protect Daisy, warning Zach that he will suffer the consequences should he dare lay a hand on her. Jackie and Amy did the same, telling Zach that Daisy's done nothing to him and demanding that he leaves her alone. Seeing that it's all nothing but a waste of time, the villains prompted Zach to make more of the weather disruption drones until who arrives out of the blue? The Wild Kratts Crew dropped down from the Tortuga, telling Zach to stay away from the controls, only for him to dismiss threats as a means to order his Zachbots an attack, but not before noticing the way Chris was looking at Daisy so adoringly, which was sickening to Zach yet it gave him a devious advantage on how he can continue his plan. Both teams separated with each member sharing a Zachbot so that the odds were in their favor, leaving Jarod and Gavin with their now-charged Pawprint Watches to disarm Gourmand of his cooking utensils and dough blaster. Jackie and Jimmy fended off two with his Controller and her Pawprint Watch, sending shockwaves with just a press of button or tab; Amy and Koki smashed the robots left and right with either a sledgehammer or a double-sided cyber axe; Martin and Aviva tricked a few into running into each other because of their lack of intelligence to realize it to be a trick; and Chris and Daisy were able to hack into the four with her Pawprint Watch, causing them to turn on their own and apprehended Dabio and Rex, who attempted to hold Jarod and Gavin hostage for Donita and Paisley. But despite their efforts, it was already too late. Zach has launched his drones into the air, disrupting the weather patterns, and then the unthinkable happened. In front of them is massive stovepipe tornado bigger than any twister ever recorded in US history; bigger than an F4, way stronger than an F5. No doubt that Zach has created a supertornado right in front of their eyes. Fortunately, the Tortuga flew high above the clouds, on account of Gavin driving it with the rest of the Wild Kratts Kids and their families on-board, and Wild Kratts Crew and Economineers ran for their lives, separating to take cover at a nearby ditch or somewhere deeper so that it can't follow all at once. But the planned backfired... because the twister is following Chris and Daisy in its path! Everyone notices this and called out to them, who see the tornado behind them and try to outrun it, but its groundspeed has increased and gaining on them. Chris takes the lead and pulls Daisy by the hand, but because she can barely keep up, she's nearly tripped and was lifted off her feet, taking Chris with her inside the tornado!

The Kratts and the Economineers watched in horror as the villains watched with a twisted and sadistic smiles on their faces that they've won...or so they thought. Inside the twister, Chris and Daisy are still holding hands as they keep dodging the weather drones that are somehow controlling its structure, rotation, and...direction. So, that's how it's able find its way around in the US and destroy whatever's in its path! No thanks to Zach's breaking every rule known to science and manipulation of Mother Nature's fury. But before they can figure out how to take down Zach and his allies, they need to figure out how to get out of the twister's grip. When Daisy asked if Chris has the Peregrine Falcon power disks with him, he responded yes because, in her backpack, she brought the very items that could get her and Chris out of this mess; a prairie falcon feather and...their Creature Power Vest and Shrug! And since the prairie falcon is a distant relative to the Peregrine Falcon, then maybe its creature powers can help them take down Zach. So, as they insert the Peregrine Falcon disks and touched a feather, they're able to activate their Creature Power Suits! Miraculously, Chris and Daisy flew high above the eye of the storm so they can perform the stoop, also known as the Falcon Dive.
