That night, Balto and Jenna were sleeping next to Buster's desk while Buster was fixing the leaky pipe inside his office and cleaning some pictures on his wall. One of those pictures was him with his Dad cutting the ribbon on the theater's grand opening. He starts getting a flashback.

Buster: "All creatures great and small, welcome to the Moon Theater!"

He cuts the ribbon and the crowd cheers. He hugs his Dad, thanking him for all the hard work he did to give Buster the theater. The memory was interrupted by Miss Crawly walking into the office.

Miss Crawly: "Mr. Moon, I have Judith from the bank."

Balto: (yawn) "Now?"

Buster: "What? No. No, tell her I'll call her back in the morning."

Miss Crawly: "Oh I can't. She's right here."

A llama walks in.

Buster: "Judith. Hello."

They walk outside the theater.

Judith: "I work for a bank, not a charity. And if your accounts are not settled by the end of the month..."

Buster: "Okay Judith, I personally guarantee by the end of this month, this show is going to be the biggest hit this city has ever seen!"

Balto: "Sir, I wouldn't guarantee that."

Judith: "Mr. Moon, none of your shows have ever worked. None of them! You've had your chances, now settle your accounts or we will repossess this property!"

She walks away leaving Buster nervous.

Jenna: "This is more serious than I thought."

Balto: "Sadly yes."

Miss Crawly: "What are you going to do, Mr. Moon?"

Buster: "Honestly, I have no idea."

Balto: "We better figure it out soon."

Meanwhile, Eddie was outside his house taking laps in his pool while Po coached him. After one lap around, Eddie sees Buster and Balto sitting near the pool. He gets startled.

Po: "Hi guys."

Buster: "Are you wearing a Speedo, Eddie?"

Eddie was about to ask them how they got in when his Mom called from a distance. "Eddie, is everything alright?"

Eddie: "Yeah, uh, just doing my laps, Ma."

Later on, they're inside the pool house playing video games and eating chips. Balto watches.

Buster: "So, what you live in a pool house now?"

Eddie: "Yeah. My folks want me to be more, you know, independent I guess. They even hooked me up with this life coach dude."

Buster: "Life coach?"

Po: "You should've seen him. He was a totally different guy after that."

Eddie: "Only for a week. I guess he was gonna help me find my purpose in life. I thought I had one, but turns out it wasn't the right one or something. I don't know. Anyway, he's got me on this whole schedule thing. It's like Mondays, take out the recycling. Tuesdays, mow the lawn. Wednesdays, go visit Nana. Thursdays. Clean the pool. It's like, don't we have people who do all this stuff?"

Po: "Yeah, it's called our parents."

Balto: "Well this guy sounds like your Dad or something, Eddie."

Buster: "Woah, woah woah, back up. Your Nana is still alive?"

Eddie: "Oh yeah." He kicks a surfboard down and shows a picture of his Nana.
