Jeff releases his bears, Bob and Screech, into the habitat where he begins his lifelong dream of re-wilding them; the first lesson, fishing, proves more difficult than Jeff imagined and Bob appears to fall behind Screech.

Jeff teaches the bears to forage in the wild, but Bob's foot continues to be a concern; when the bear slashes Jeff in the arm, he refuses medical care; after losing the bears, Jeff must think about the difficulty of them actually leaving the nest.

Although the unconventional hunting lessons Jeff taught Bob and Screech failed to prepare them to hunt game in the wild, he finds they may be learning the skills on their own, but he is agonizing over the inevitable parting of ways with his bears.
