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.

Jeff makes progress teaching Bob and Screech how to feed themselves, but now has to prepare them for winter hibernation.

As the bears' re-wilding journey nears its end, Jeff has one lesson left to teach - fear of humans; their release date is imminent but they must be ready to survive on their own.
