Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
When the drought runs too long, a village of coyotes grows desperate. An old coyote cry says a gift of silver and turquoise brought to the top of Arizuma mountain will bring skywater. Carol is the only adult without pups, so she reluctantly takes on the challenge to climb the mountain with the village's last riches. She understands little about the old magic she's tasked to summon, leaving her having to trust the absent-minded and disconnected ringtail who joins her on her journey.
Milton has learned he can't convince Caroline not to take her silver to the top of Arizuma mountain. So he figures if the world is going to end, he might as well tag along for it. That leaves the grounded Caroline with the silly ringtail in tow, a reluctant pair, but the only partner she has on the lonely mountain. This scene opens with the pair taking a rest, and Milton trying to liven up the mood by showing off his impressive tail-juggling.
Fired from his stock broker job due to stress, Walter Benswar finds the opposite problem of being unemployed and stir crazy while waiting for employment. He begins to question his sanity when he starts hallucinating his apartment neighbors dying in gruesome ways, and not being able to tell if he was committing the murders in a stupor of ennui. Until he hallucinates his OWN death.
Detective Ronald Harper has tracked Walter, now 'Zane', after a series of vicious murders. The husky is obviously totally in Zane's control, and he has one more victim at his claws - a young hedgehog girl. Harper's daughter. The detective is desperate to save his girl's life - trying one last time to save Walter, and Elizabeth. But when the unexpected happens, can Harper survive his own 'Zane'?

She's been digging for a long time. When the wombat Digger gets lost in her tunnels, she ends up in a world far from home. With the guidance of an idol to the god Ganesh, she starts on a journey filled with peculiar characters, looking to find a way back.
A rainstorm has forced Digger to take refuge in a painted cave. When the resident hyena returns from a failed hunt, a wombat fist to the nose keeps him hungry. Knowing she's trespassing, Digger willingly turns to leave but is stopped when the hyena stumbles through a chant of offered welcome. Preferring her strange host over the rain, Digger cautiously spends the night.
The dams may have given the city its water supply, but it also flooded the farms, turning good fields into worthless swamp. Of course, the city hoofers never did care much for the country, leaving the now out-of-work horses, donkeys and cattle to fend for themselves. While most just made the best of it, one donkey's ambition led him to stealing goods from the city, a major crime that made him a lot of enemies. But also the loyalty of Colette, his mare girlfriend, who hid him in the swamp after his bold escape from jail. Now with the swamp sheriff smelling an opportunity at some fat reward money, it's a fight to hide the longear as long as she can.
Runson did what Colette asked and poisoned the coffee he pours for the sheriff every morning. But when morning rises, the honest mule has a change of heart. But before he can warn the stubborn old bull, he learns that the sheriff has his own problems with the unlucky longear.

Things get worse when bad intel botches an operation leaving Cherry captured by the elusive Ostrich. With Len at the boiling point, desperate to rescue his hawk partner, he's been fighting the cool desk agent August for access at jackal, determined to get information out of him, not realizing August had been gathering valuable intel all this time.
