Characters
Synopsis
The episode begins with a windy morning in Adventure Bay, as we pan over to a tree that is home to a mother owl and her baby. When the strong winds cause the trunk to crack, and the tree starts to fall, the mother owl orders her baby to flee, just in time. After the tree falls over, the baby owl goes to check on his mom, who is trapped in the knothole where they live, unable to escape, sending the baby owl to tears. Although the mother owl tries to show her baby she's fine, the wind picks up again, carrying the baby owl all the way to the Lookout.
The baby owl arrived, passing Rubble's pup house before bumping into the door of Chase's pup house, which woke him up. As Chase gave the baby owl the name "Little Hootie," he wondered what was wrong. Little Hootie hooted his emergency, then wanted Chase to follow him. Chase followed him all the way back to his tree, where Little Hootie revealed that his mom was trapped inside. Chase tried to dig an opening out from under the tree for the owl to escape, but he was forced to stop when the tree slid further toward the cliff edge. Fearing for the owl inside, Chase knew they needed more help, and he took Little Hootie back to the Lookout to get Ryder.
Ryder was doing repairs on his ATV's engine when Chase called him. As Chase explained the situation with his new friend and the problem, Ryder was impressed that Chase could understand Little Hootie's hoots, and he agreed to help. After Marshall crashed into Chase (just as Chase warned him to watch out for Little Hootie!), the pups got topside for their instructions: Chase and Rubble would go with Ryder to try and prevent the tree from going over the cliff edge and create a way for the larger owl to escape before the tree falls.
The PAW Patrol deployed, and upon reaching the tree, they got right to work—at least after Chase rescued Little Hootie when he fell off the severed trunk as he fell asleep. (Owls are normally nocturnal, after all!) With Little Hootie asleep in Chase's hat, Chase left him on a flat rock then got to work, quietly barking to activate his winch.
Once Chase has secured his winch, Rubble starts digging. Little Hootie wakes up to check on his mom, but the tree begins to slip further toward the cliff edge. Chase's police truck is being dragged after it by his winch, but he is able to anchor it against a large rock to stabilize the tree. Chase knows the branch that his winch is wrapped around will not last much longer, but Rubble figures something out and uses his bulldozer to lift the tree high enough for Little Hootie's mom to escape, and just in time as well. The branch finally snaps, and the tree slides over the edge completely and into the sea.
With Little Hootie and his mom safe, Chase introduces himself to Mama Hootie, and even Rubble recognizes the response, saying that "you don't have to speak Owl, to tell that was a thank you." Chase responds by telling her "You're welcome. Whenever you're in trouble, just hoot for help!"
Chase soon finds a much thicker and sturdier tree for them to live in now. As Mama and Little Hootie move into their new home, Chase is saddened, until Rubble reminds him he can always visit them from time to time to see how they are doing. This perks Chase up, and he, Rubble, and Ryder quietly hoot "sleep tight," to Little Hootie and his mom as they get a good day's sleep, while Ryder, Rubble, and Chase return to the Lookout, the episode ending with a shot of Mama and Little Hootie as they sleep peacefully in their new home.
