At the observatory area, Ryder tells them about the situation. Ryder picks Rocky to repair the stove and Rubble to clean the mess and they deployed to the emergency area.

Mayor Goodway panicks about what they will do. Ryder suggests that Mr. Porter could give a list of ingredients and the PAW Patrol will cook it. Mr. Porter hands Ryder the recipe. Ryder suggests to cook it in the open like a real cowboy. They head to the desert to start cooking but unknown to them, Mayor Humdinger heard it all and begins steal Ryder's idea to cook.
The PAW Patrol arrives along with Mayor Goodway and they see Mayor Humdinger cooking in an open fire. Mayor Humdinger repeats what Mr. Porter said to them earlier and laughs evilly.
