"HELP! COME HELP US!" Kai screamed from inside the plant, which alarmed the herd

"Oh, Buck. Do something!" Noa pleaded

"It's time to get... Buck wild" Buck said as he jumped from vine to vine and let himself fall through the jaws of the plant and slipped inside

"About time" Nathan hissed as Buck slid down to the bottom of the plant

Meanwhile, the herd were still worried sick

"He just HAD to touch the weird plant-thing, didn't he?" Shira sighed

"I just hope they're ok and that Kai won't do something dangerous again" Brooke replied

"What if they're already digested?" Sid wondered

"I hope no-" Noa started

Suddenly, they saw the huge plant slowly sinking into the ground as it made a gurgling sound

"That can't be good" Diego gasped

"Kai!" Noa gasped followed by Keevah

"Min!"

The plant kept sinking deeper and deeper as everyone's heart was pounding in their throats

Crash and Eddie were shivering like leaves

Just then, the plant stopped and everything went silent

The plant suddenly began to tremble like it was about to explode

Everyone backed down and Noa, Keevah and Brooke were standing behind Manny for protection

And before anyone knew it, the plant opened up with an explosion and Sid, Crash and Eddie got covered in green slime

Min, Kai, Nathan and Ryan came falling down on top of each other as they were covered in green slime

Buck flew down peacefully as he held on a leaf and landed onto the ground

"Tss, tourists" Buck smirked

"Bleh! Gross!" Sid gagged as he looked at his slime-covered body

"Being spit on by a plant? Again?!" Crash gasped

"Awesome!" Crash and Eddie cheered

Noa and Keevah walked over to Min and Kai to check up on them

"Oh, you big maniacs! Never do that again!" Keevah scolded as Min chuckled nervously

"Are you ok?" Noa asked worriedly as Kai spit out green slime

"I'm fine" Kai replied as he stood up

"Ugh! I think I just swallowed it" Ryan groaned as he gagged

"From now on, no one touches anything!" Manny announced

"Fabulous idea" Nathan replied

"We need to go on" Shira said

"Alright, let's move and stay on the path" Buck reminded them once more as they made their way through the jungle

Meanwhile, Morana and the gang were wandering through the jungle while the herd was far ahead of them

"Some ugly flowers" Jarod mumbled

"Yeah, they look a lot like you" Leo smirked

"Shut it, you runt!" Jarod hissed

They stopped at the big plant that had just exploded and just stared at it

"Come on, keep moving!" Morana ordered as she walked up front

Scott, Cavin and Jarod followed her as Leo whimpered by the sudden movement of the plant and hurried after them

Back in the Ice Age, everyone was trying to lower their worries and move on

"Do you think that they're doing fine?" Adira asked

"I'm positive" Marco replied

"We have to stay calm, because they're with Buck, remember?" Peaches reminded them

"That's right! He knows EXACTLY what he does" Julian agreed

"I hope you're right" Leah sighed as Victor and Ellie comforted her
