Shakespeare gets bitten by a snake.

It seems like Tosca has had her litter since she is much thinner than before and Flower has caught up on that and isn't very happy at her daughter. The Whiskers have collisions with their arch rival group Lazuli, over territory.

Shakespeare is on the road of recovery from his snake-bite and starts eating again after losing one third of his body-weight.

The Whiskers deals with the situation about the eight pups who were taken out of the hole in the last episode by Youssarian but he later decides to try to move the pups again and this time it ends in a very serious disaster!

Mozart is being pushed out of the family, presumably for having the litter. Lousy nanny Youssarian is baby-sitting and true to form, he doesn't do anything when Mitch attack Mozart's daughter Sophie.

Flower is a tough leader who doesn't hesitate to evict her own children if she thinks it's the best for the group, and with Mozart already gone, Flower now try to push out her other daughter and litter producer - Tosca. Mitch eats something bad.

When the Whiskers are out foraging, they accidentally gets split into two groups and one of the groups collides with the Lazuli, including Big Cy, their dominant male. Also, it becomes apparent that Daisy has become pregnant after her liaison with hunky Lazuli-member Carlos a few weeks back.

Tosca rejoins her comrades in the splinter division and after almost no resistance from leader Daisy, she takes over the throne. But how will Flower react when she finds the group and discovers what's been going on?

The Whiskers picks a fight with a genet who resides in a hollow tree. Daisy goes into labor on her lonesome away from the family but Youssarian comes to her aid. Will the pups survive?

Flower gives birth to yet another litter. The Whiskers find a den and in it are four pups, belonging to the dominant female of the Lazuli. Will they attack the tiny creatures or leave them alone?

Flower and Zaphod's newest litter comes out of the den for the first time and one of them, Columbus, even joins the big group out foraging.

There's a large supply of food to forage since it has rained in the desert. While they're out doing that, loner Tosca tries to approach them again but they don't show any sign of acceptance however. It's becoming more and more obvious that she probably will never be let back into the group again but to her comfort - her former lover, Carlos, comes back. Whilst the others are out, Shakespeare (who is on baby-sitting duty) finds himself fighting for his, Columbus', Parsley's, Basil's and Rose's lives back in the burrow when it gets intruded by the Lazuli.

The Whiskers come back from their foraging trip and fights off the Lazuli but there aren't any signs of either Big Cy nor Shakespeare although it's implied that the former survived the fight.
