Synopsis
As the episode begins, the PAW Patrol team is trekking through the jungle in the PAW Patroller to visit Mandy and Carlos again. Skye soon becomes frightened when she spots a big harpy eagle flying overhead and hopes that Carlos's pet parrot, Mateo, can stay safe from it.
Soon, the gang meets up with Mandy and Carlos. Mandy tries to steal the pup-pad again, but Ryder is prepared this time. Carlos expresses his worry that his parrot, Mateo, has not yet returned home. He says that Mateo is little and not used to being on his own in the jungle. Ryder informs him that they saw a harpy eagle earlier, and Carlos is shocked, realizing that Mateo is no match for such a massive bird. However, Ryder reassures him that the team is on the case and summons the pups.
Once the team returns to the PAW Patroller (with Marshall being flung inside by an elephant he was flung onto earlier!), Ryder gives them their orders: Chase will use his spy drone to scour the treetops, Skye will search from the air, and Marshall will review with his ladder. The team heads out, but they don't have much luck finding Mateo. They believed that Mateo had only red feathers and didn't pay attention to the fact that he also had blue feathers.
Mandy steals Marshall's helmet as he searches, and Chase only finds a red toad. Soon after that Chase notices with his drone that Mandy took Marshall's helmet, and Marshall is having a tough time getting it back because Mandy always puts a banana in his mouth. Skye spots a parrot, but it is not Mateo, and she soon has to avoid the Harpy Eagle as it pursues her until she loses it with some evasive maneuvering. After she loses the Harpy Eagle, she spots Mateo, who's flying towards the Temple of the Monkey Queen ruins. When the team arrives, Mandy tries to flee again with Marshall's fire helmet, but Carlos catches her and returns the helmet to Marshall. They find Mateo on the roof ledge, thanks to what Carlos trained Mateo to say, and Marshall and Ryder climb up to investigate, discovering that Mateo is a female parrot, as she's got a nest and egg she's caring for. The ledge crumbles under Ryder and Marshall, but while Ryder grabs hold of the ledge, Marshall falls and Carlos catches him. Chase backs up Marshall's firetruck so Ryder can climb back down, and once they discover that Mateo is a mom, Carlos changes her name to "Matea," but then they already understand that the harpy eagle is still out there, jeopardizing Matea and her unhatched baby, so they agree to stay and protect her and her egg until it hatches.
That night, the harpy eagle is watching vigilantly for the PAW Patrol to leave Matea unprotected, but they make sure she can't make a motion during the night, only watch, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. While the team camps down at the base of the ruins, Carlos sleeps with Matea on the ledge. The following morning, the egg finally hatches, and Matea's baby is born. The pups adore the little guy, but then the screech of the harpy eagle reminds them that they need to lure it away from Matea and her baby. Worse, the baby wanders away towards the edge of the ledge, endangering to fall off due to being unable to fly. While Carlos climbs down to catch the baby if it falls, Chase and Ryder protect it from the harpy eagle until Chase uses his drone to lure it away and keep it busy. The baby falls, but Carlos is right there to catch it.
A little while later, Matea's nest is safely on the ground, and Carlos thanks the PAW Patrol for all their help. Ryder assures him of the PAW Patrol catchphrase of "Whenever you're in trouble, just yelp for help," which Matea and her baby repeat the last part of, being "Yelp for help," leading to a round of laughter from everyone to end the episode.
