The webs all snap back into the wall, leaving it as a big, empty room. The wall slides open and Annika runs out and Jamal runs to her to hug her, but she runs into Tyler's arms.
Danya and Jamal both cross their arms from jealousy.
"What was in there?!" Danya exclaims.
"Let's take a look.." Elayna says.
They all go into the next tunnel and see a model of a lion.
"Huh?" Tyler laughs.
"It looked like a demon!" Annika says. "It's eyes were glowing!"
There are different tunes of flavors on the floor.
On the lion it says ;
"feed the beast it's desired treat,
to get into the next task or gain defeat. '
"So, we have to feed the lion the right flavor.." Jamal figures.
"What do animals like the most out of these flavors..." Annika reviews them. "Cinnamon, Bark, Sugar, Angelica, or Salt.."
"Animals need a desired amount of nutrients and they find that through a profitable amount of sugar.. Duh." Danya rolls her eyes. "But.. Animals DO need a desired source of protein and they get that through a profitable amount of Bark!"
"We need to be cautious." Tyler says. "If we give this thing the wrong flavor, then something bad will happen."
"Then we'll come back tomorrow." Annika says.
They leave.

Meanwhile, Savanna goes to a manor where Vera used to work at to investigate.
She sees a man gardening and goes up to him.
"Excuse me.." She squeaks. "I'd like to ask to see Mr. Holmes.. A friend of mine worked for him."
"Mr. Holmes?" The man says. "I bought this house from him. He died."
"How?"
"He was murdered.. By a woman.. She went by the name of Renee' Devinish."
"Devinish?" Savanna gasps.
Devinish is Vera's last name.
Vera changed her name to get away with murder.
