- Oh, hello.
I didn't see you there. I'm Raccoon.
If you're like me, you can't remember anything,
whether it's the address of your childhood tree
or where you buried your first nemesis or...
[clears throat] Oh, right.
That's why I'm here-- to remind you where we left
Honey, Chief and the rest of the gang last week.
Shel and Darla were about to start their life together,
when Shel was violently smushed by a mommy smusher.
- No!
- And when Elsa's boyfriend, Jimmy Chonga,
turned out not to be a figment of her imagination,
Diablo tried to help their relationship flourish.
- She also told us a funny story
about when you were a puppy
and one of your testicles hadn't descended...
- Ugh.
- And Honey made a big decision...
- So what do you say, Honey? You want to run away with me?
- [breathes deeply]
Let's get out of here.
- And I bench-pressed twice my own weight at 24 Hour Fitness.
- Yeah, we don't have tape on that.
- What?
- I don't know what happened.
- So we've got endless footage of these fingerless yo-yos,
but when I do something significant,
something all raccoons can be proud of--
Whatever, fine.
- Well, you kind of looked like this.
- No, just go. I need to finish this.
Okay, so what's gonna happen?
Let's find out. Stay tuned. Yay.

- Hey, buddy, want to watch yellow ball?
I'm feeling a little lonely since Tabs moved out.
- Sorry, Buddy, I can't. Kevin's home.
He's even more depressed than when Dana broke up with him.
- Whoa! What happened?
- From what I gather, he lost his job
opening soda cans on airplanes.
- This is for you, Dana! - Kevin?
- Take me back!
- So we've been spending a lot of time together.
Last night I slept on his face.
- Well, that's great.
I'm glad he's finally paying some attention to you.
- "Finally"? What's that supposed to mean?
- I just mean you're such a great cat,
and it sounds like he's recognizing that.
- Did he not think I was a great cat before?
- I have missed you so much, dude!
Mwah!
Ah! Give me space, perv!
The problem with CrossFit--
Ugh, hang on,
I just need to get away from my ex-girlfriend's stupid cat.
- Oh, my God. Kevin doesn't love me.
[light music]
- [sighs]
Good morning, Altadena! [howls]
- Ugh. Act like you've been here before.
- Oh, sorry, just spent my first night in the wild,
and I am feeling myself! [chuckles]
I drank from a stream, then slept on a rock,
under the protective eye of a coyote
with rippling muscles and...
- Good morning. - Good morning.
[clears throat] There's a little bit of blood
on your mouth.
Did you, um, cut yourself shaving?
- Oh, breakfast. Did I get it? - Yeah.
You got a little fur in your teeth, though.
- Oh. [smacks lips] How's this?
- Good. Yeah.
So what wild and fun outdoor activities are we up to today?
Apple picking? Leaf peeping?
- I need to go see my pack.
Things have been tense since we moved here,
and if I don't check in, our alpha gets a little bite-y.
- You're not the alpha?
- Yeah, I'm more of the poet of the pack.
- Oh. I'd be happy to mediate a conversation.
- That's not how things work out here.
Plus, if they got one look at those bouncy curls
and those deep brown eyes... - Ooh.
- They would tear you limb from limb.
- [gasps, chuckles]
Oh.
Oh, oh, right, so that-- Yeah, oh, that's real.
Right, okay. No. Cool, cool.
- I'll be back.
- Oh. [chuckles] Jill loves that movie.
[stomach rumbles]
I know. I'm hungry, too, stomach.
Well, there must be something here I can eat.
- Aah! Don't kill me, please! It's not my time!
- I'm not gonna kill you.
In fact, I won't be eating any animal protein.
So I'm thinking I need
to find a combination of beans and legumes.
- I can help you. I can help you.
Can I catch a ride?
I think this is the beginning
of an unlikely animal friendship, am I right?
- Looks like we've got some competition.
- Really? Wait. So this dip has seven layers?
And you--you guarantee this to be true?
- [grunts] - Ow.
- It's time to play, play, play!
- Little Cookie, we got a saying around here,
"If Chief's a-snoozing, keep on cruising."
Go play with Honey.
- I don't want to play with Honey--she's no fun.
Seriously, when was the last time
she chased her tail till she puked?
- I know. I try to look past those things.
- Look at him, pining for me.
- [grunts]
- Time to give him what he wants.
What he really, really wants.
[humming]
Dog parks, right?
- Uh... - Mmm.
- What's going on? I'm missing all the hot goss.
But please don't tell anyone I actually miss the hot goss.
- Well, you should come back to group.
- I can't. I said too many nice things when I left.
Besides, now that Ray Liotta's running for head
of his home owners' association, I'm swamped.
- And that's why I support the death penalty
for driveway basketball hoops.
- Just give me the Shel update.
What person, place, or thing is he into now?
- Just come back-- I guarantee
that within two days, everyone will hate you again.
- You really think so?
- Look at all the colors!
Thank you, uh, Paul, was it?
- Or Paulie. Either way. It was your idea to name me.
Okay, I'll see you around. Babiche! Talk soon.
Mmm. Blech!
[stomach rumbles]
Trust me, you don't want this.
- Honey! Come here!
I got you something. - [gasps]
- Paul. - Or Paulie! Either way.
- I knew you'd be hungry.
Come on, tastes even better when you kill it yourself.
[suspenseful music]
- Come on, Honey. It's just like "The Lion King."
Circle of life.
Hakuna matata, Paulie.
- [cries] No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
- [spits] Run, Paulie! You're free!
Don't waste this gift! - [cries]
- I knew they wouldn't last. Kangopus for the win!
- Honey, you're wild now,
and you have to do what it takes to survive.
- I'm not wild, Armando.
When I fantasized about this,
I didn't really drill down on the details.
I mean, I don't even like beans,
and I can't rely on legumes.
- What are you saying? - I don't belong out here.
I want to go home.
- Yeah, but I thought-- - I'm sorry, Armando.
- Okay. It's okay. I understand.
At least I can channel these feelings into my poetry.
"Honey" and "Bunny" rhyme, so...
[chuckles] That's good.
- Oh, your poetry rhymes.
Ah, okay. Well, goodbye, Armando.
And--and thank you.
- And just like that, she walked out of our lives.
I'm Paul, or Paulie, whatever you want.
- Hey, Paul.
- I'm just not looking for a relationship right now,
but I will definitely check out your Soundcloud.
Chief! Chief! Chief!
Oh, you must have been worried sick
that I didn't come home last night, but hear me out.
- Oh, you were gone? - I needed to t--
Yes, I was gone, all night, in the wild.
- Uh-huh. And we're talking about last night?
- Yes. You didn't notice that I ran off
with Armando, the coyote,
and had a wild, sexy, dangerous night in Altadena?
- Was Jill with you? - No.
- Okay.
Let me see if I've got this right.
You were out...
all night...
with a dangerous coyote...
named Armando? - Yes.
It was something I needed to do.
But now I'm back because I chose you, Chief.
I chose us.
Wait. W-what are you doing?
- I'm going out to mark my territory.
And I won't be back until the rivers of Altadena run yellow.
- I'd like to share a realization I had
that I think will shock everyone.
Kevin is maybe not a very attentive owner.
- What? No. [shouts]
- Is she...? - Ignore her.
She just wants attention. Go on, Chico.
- To be honest, I'm furious. I used to love that word
because I thought it meant "furry" and "luxurious,"
but I mean it in the angry way now.
- Well, have you thought about expressing yourself?
- I guess I could go on a hunger strike.
No.
- Chief? - Darla? Where's Shel?
- Shel is... he's...
- Moving a little slowly.
- Shel, my goodness! What happened?
- Exterior, backyard, night...
- Lindsay ran him over.
- Don't just blurt out the ending.
They need a little foreplay.
- You need a little foreplay.
- Be gentle.
- Never.
- Oh, please. I'm going to vomit.
- Aw, I think it's sweet. - Oh, yeah.
- Honey, please make this stop.
- Shel! Leave it. No. Leave it--
Chief? Oh.
- Hey, look, everyone, it's Max,
and he's meaner than ever.
- Just stop.
I can speak for myself, you freaky little weasel.
- Okay, that's enough.
- All right, so I never went to London.
I live with the star of "Unlawful Entry" now,
and I don't need to talk about it.
How long has the fish been dead?
- Oh, I'm trying to pull a Nemo and get flushed out of here.
- That's smart. Elsa, how's it going with you and JChongs?
- Um...
So are we doing this or what?
- Uh... - Ah...
We will never be a couple
because Diablo turned him against me!
- What? - That's great.
All right, let's pick this up tonight,
everyone except Darla.
- Understandable.
- Mine. Mine. Mine.
[sniffing] Mine.
- Actually, that's mine.
- [gasps] Wait a second! You're--
[sniffs]
- Yes. And you're-- [sniffs]
- That's right, and it seems like we have some things
to settle between us, starting with,
how do you manage to stay so well-groomed out here?
I mean, your coat is "ridonculous."
- Yours isn't so bad either. - Really?
Aw. [chuckles]
I did get the special bath at the groomer's
that makes me handsome, but that was a couple of days ago.
And since then, I investigated a leaky septic tank,
almost fixed it,
and I tunneled through a mountain of tuna salad
but that might have been a dream.
- Wow! [chuckles] I had the exact same dream.
Except it was a giant deer carcass.
- Oh, awesome.
- Hey, listen, I know we just met,
but would you want to be in a montage with me?
- Does this answer your question?
A-five, six, seven, eight!

I want to tell you that I know
you only poisoned my relationship with Jimmy Chonga
because you're in love with me,
and I understand.
Wow.
- Really? - Uh, yeah.
- Yeah, I'm not feeling it.
Let's just use the pedestrian overpass.
[coyotes howling, growling]
- Chief, I'm sorry I ran off with Armando.
- The question is why you came back.
Were you choosing me or not choosing legumes?
- This doesn't feel like the best time to get into--
- Our feeding rituals are pretty elaborate.
You've still got some time before they eat you.
- Oh, okay. This wasn't about you or Armando.
I thought changing things up would change me.
- Honey, you don't need to change.
- But...
- Maybe it's okay that you don't speak a fart language
or chase your tail till you puke.
Maybe that's why we work.

and so is our life together, at least it was
before the bloodthirsty coyotes.

Apparently some choices were made by some of you

then she gets a big Jamba Juice,

Diablo, darling, it's over between us.
Don't embarrass yourself by begging me to change my mind.

I was really looking forward to rooting against you guys.
- Yeah, we all were.
Chief and I want to thank you guys for coming to rescue us.

Seeing you all come together to save us made me think.
This is a group I want to be a part of.
