They headed back towards the south. Chase had been thinking about the story all morning, even on the way back. He would have broken a long time ago, but Menta... she didn't. Skye noticed that something was not right with Chase, though she was still upset with him. However, when they returned to the tower, she approached him.
Skye: What's wrong?
Chase: Nothing. Why?
He tried to change the subject, but the girl didn't believe him.
Skye: Chase, I can see that something is bothering you.
She sat down next to the boy.
Chase: Well... the thing is, I can't tell you.
Skye: Why?
Chase: I promised someone that I wouldn't tell anyone. I don't want to break that promise, but I trust you.
Skye was surprised because she thought the boy didn't trust her.
Skye: If you promised not to tell anyone, I'll respect that.
The officer smiled at her.
Chase: Thanks. Oh, and you know... I'm sorry for what I said. Forgive me.
Skye hugged him. Menta saw it and was happy. Although she was still lying down. She hadn't seen Rocky or Zuma all day, which was strange, but she didn't really care. Towards the end of the day, Rider's voice came over the radio.
Rider: Paw Patrol, to the lookout!
Pups: Rider need's us!
Menta just watched as the pups ran into the elevator and went up. She didn't want to go up yet because she felt it would be a burden. The pups went up, but the elevator stopped only on the top floor. They got out and saw something covered.
Ryder: Pups, this is Menta's gift. I hope she'll like it.
Chase: What's under the sheet?
Rocky: You'll see.
They decided that Chase would go down and bring Menta up.
Chase: Menta! Come up.
She looked at the boy.
Menta: Why?
Chase: Just because.
He looked at her with puppy eyes.
Menta: Okay, fine.
They went up, seated Menta, and he had to close her eyes. When she opened them, she couldn't believe her eyes – it was a robot leg.
She picked it up, and they went outside to play. Menta was happy because now she could go anywhere without any problems. She ran, jumped, and played again. They played tag, and Menta started chasing Zuma. She chased him to the edge of the island where she slipped and fell.
Menta: Zuma, are you okay?
Zuma: Yeah, but my heart can't take this for long.
Menta looked down at the labrador, leaned down.
Menta: Grab my paw. I'll pull you up.
The water pup jumped up and grabbed the girl's paw. However, she suddenly slipped. Zuma let go, and Menta fell back onto the edge. Her collar got stuck.
Menta: What now?
Zuma: Call Ryder.
The girl successfully freed herself, but her badge fell off. Zuma tried to catch it, but he couldn't.
