![]() Wheeler mentions to Ma-Ti that he thinks an ivory necklace would make a perfect gift for Linka. Gaia warns him that unless the Planeteers stop poaching elephants, Africa will lose them forever.The Planeteers leave for Africa in the eco-copter. Kwame is outraged that this is taking place in his homeland. Wheeler declares that he always thought elephants were big enough to take care of themselves, but Gaia argues that it's not true against men like Looten Plunder and his evil henchmen. In The Crystal Chamber, Ma-Ti rings out his still-soaked hat as Gaia shows the Planeteers images of the elephants in Africa, saying they're being murdered for their ivory. Wheeler takes this with a smile and in good fun, and he says he'll think of something. Ma-Ti, who pulls out of the water and puts on his now soaked hat, which he was wearing before the wipeout, in a friendly jab to Wheeler, comments that this is not the way to impress Linka. Linka watches on and laughs from the shore. Ma-Ti begs him to be careful with the sail, but it's too late, and he capsizes the board, sending him and Ma-Ti into the ocean. Wheeler, apparently wanting to show off his windsurfing skills, which he appears to have just recently taken up, tires to make a sharp turn. Ma-Ti laughs, but then they are interrupted by Gaia calling them to the Crystal Chamber. Ma-Ti asks if he means Linka, and then Wheeler suggests Ma-Ti tune into her mind to figure out what she wants. Wheeler mentions that he is "trying to impress a babe" and asks Ma-Ti what would make a good birthday present. Further out to sea, Wheeler and Ma-Ti are windsurfing. On Hope Island, Linka stands near the shore, attracting birds with a small device that mimics their song. He boasts aloud that no one can stop him. ![]() Outside, Looten Plunder is watching on, laughing and expressing delight that it has been another successful haul and he'll soon make more profit. Workers are shown polishing and cutting ivory in a large room as the elephants are herded into the enclosure. Bleak sees that they are kept separated and drives the mother back towards the rest of the panicked herd, leaving the baby abandoned. ![]() One of them turns back-the baby has been left behind. Terrified, the elephants scatter but are driven towards an enclosure. Argos Bleak is driving one of them, watching the elephants through a pair of binoculars. Suddenly, they are disturbed by two hovercraft approaching them recklessly at great speed. One baby elephant is playful, chasing butterflies and spraying water from its trunk as the adult elephants watch nearby. There is plenty of food and water, and it is evident that all of the animals are healthy and peaceful. The episode opens with a shot of African animals walking across a serene African plain. The Planeteers must overcome Looten Plunder's operations and reunite a baby elephant with her mother or risk the extinction of African elephants forever. Kwame is furious and states that this mission will show Wheeler the true cost of ivory. Wheeler is trying to decide what to get Linka for her birthday and tosses up the idea of giving her an ivory necklace. Kwame finds this a sensitive subject, as it involves his homeland. Looten Plunder and Argos Bleak are herding elephants in Africa, slaughtering them for their ivory.
