HEY, OSTRICHES.

HEY, GUYS. HERE'S SOME FOOD!

THE MALE'S GOTTEN REALLY AGGRESSIVE.

THE OTHER DAY, HE WAS CHARGING ME.

- HE WAS CHARGING YOU? - YEAH.

- UH, WAIT. - WHAT?

I KNOW WHY THE MALE IS GETTING AGGRESSIVE.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE LADIES ARE WANTING TO LAY EGGS.

IT'S 'CAUSE THEY ALREADY DID.

- THEY DID LAY AN EGG! - YEP.

DON'T GET EXCITED. THEY'LL FREAK OUT.

WE NEED TO GET A HEAT LAMP ON THIS BABY.

-GABE AND I HAVE TO GET THE EGG OUT,

WHICH I'M SO EXCITED IS THERE,

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY SITTING ON THEM RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE GONNA, LIKE, LAY A BUNCH AND THEN START SITTING ON THEM.

THE MORE INTO THE LAYING OF THE EGGS,

THE MORE AGGRESSIVE THEY'LL GET.

HOLD ON, GABE. SEE THOSE LEGS? THOSE KILL LIONS.

- JUST BE CAREFUL. - UH, WAIT.

I DON'T WANT TO GET KILLED GETTING AN EGG.

GO ON, BABY.

I'M READY, BIRD. I'LL WATCH YOUR BACK. YOU GET THE EGG.

IT'S AN OSTRICH EGG!

OH, IT'S WARM!

JUST GRAB IT, BIRD. THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY.

IT'S OKAY. THE BOTTOM'S A LITTLE CHILLY.

IT'S THE FIRST LITTLE OSTRICH EGG.

NOW THAT THEY STARTED LAYING, THEY SHOULD LAY LIKE ONE A DAY.

- ONE A DAY? - THAT'S WHAT DAD SAID, YES.

OH, MY GOODNESS. WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE

MORE OSTRICH EGGS THAN WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH.

HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN WASHINGTON,

THE WOLF PACK IS GROWING

AS THEY PRESS FORWARD ON THEIR AMBITIOUS GOALS --

TO COMPLETE INDIVIDUAL HOMESTEADS

AND ESTABLISH AN INNOVATIVE BUSH WATER SYSTEM.

- HOW'S IT TASTE? - WE HAVE WATER!

THE EVOLUTION OF NORTH STAR RANCH

TAKES CENTER STAGE.

SO MANY OF OUR ANIMALS ARE GOING INTO THE SECOND GENERATION,

INCLUDING SOME OF THE BROTHERS.

SO THERE ARE A LOT OF BABIES AROUND THE RANCH.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT IS A FAMILY DREAM

THAT WE'VE ALL HAD SINCE FOREVER,

AND IT'S A FAMILY DREAM THAT WE'RE ALL CARRYING OUT TOGETHER.

IT'S A FAMILY DREAM

THAT STARTED WITH THE LOVE OF BILLY AND AMI,

WHO IN JUST A FEW DAYS WILL BE CELEBRATING

A MONUMENTAL 40th ANNIVERSARY.

WITHOUT MOM'S AND DAD'S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER,

I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM TODAY.

IT WASN'T JUST MOM. IT WASN'T JUST DAD.

IT WAS THEM TOGETHER AS A TEAM

THAT HAS BUILT ALL OF THIS FOR US.

I'M VERY, VERY LUCKY TO HAVE PARENTS LIKE MOM AND DAD,

VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF LOVE THAT WAY IN MY LIFE.

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY, AND MOM AND DAD HAVE COME EVEN FURTHER.

I TOLD YOU, "WE'LL MOVE TO ALASKA

AND I'LL BUILD YOU A CABIN IN THE WOODS,

AND WE'LL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER."

AMI AND I HAVE HAD SOME GREAT GOOD TIMES.

IT'S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY FOR US. YOU KNOW?

DON'T WALK AWAY. JUST STAY WITH ME.

I'M NOT LEAVING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY ACTUAL BAD TIMES

BECAUSE I'VE NEVER LOST AM.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN STANDING BESIDE ME.

WE'VE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN BEFORE, RIGHT?

LONG AS WE STICK TOGETHER.

ALL THE ADVERSITY, EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH,

I COULDN'T HAVE HANDLED ANY OF IT WITHOUT AM.

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SITUATION THAT I HAVEN'T LOOKED OVER,

JUST MAKES EVERYTHING OKAY, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

WE WERE WANTING TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL,

AND WE WERE THINKING ABOUT DOING, LIKE, A DINNER THING

FOR THEM BUT, LIKE, EXTRA SPECIAL.

THAT WOULD BE FUN.

BEFORE THE DINNER CAN HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO SET IT UP,

AND JUST DECORATE IT FOR THEM SO NICELY...

AND TRY AND KEEP IT A SECRET,

WHICH IS GONNA BE THE HARDEST.

BAM COULD BE PRETTY GOOD WITH THE FOOD.

HE'S GONNA BE THE SERVER. SOME OF US CAN BE, LIKE, WAITERS.

IF ELI WAS A LITTLE BIT OLDER, LIKE A TODDLER,

THAT'D BE ADORABLE.

AS PART OF THE FESTIVITIES,

THE SIBLINGS WILL EACH PLAY A ROLE FOR THE DINNER SETTING...

WHILE NOAH WILL BE TASKED WITH MAKING A GIFT FOR MOTHER AMI.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL

FOR MOM'S AND DAD'S 40th ANNIVERSARY,

ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH RECENTLY.

OKAY, SO, I THINK WE HAVE A SOLID PLAN GOING.

YES.

WITH EVERYONE HAVING SOME KIND OF ROLE,

I THINK IT WILL MAKE IT ALL THAT MUCH SPECIAL

ALMOST. YEAH. NOW WE'RE DOING IT.

WHILE THE KIDS PREPARE

TO CELEBRATE THEIR PARENTS' LOVE,

THE BROWNS' MOST EXTREME SIBLING IS MAKING ARRANGEMENTS

FOR AN IMPORTANT OCCASION OF HIS OWN.

ACTUALLY YOUR WEDDING BROUGHT A FEW GOOD THINGS, TOO.

- DID IT? - YEAH. I'VE BEEN CORRESPONDING

WITH ONE GIRL FROM YOUR WEDDING. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER HER.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS THERE, RAIVEN.

WELL, I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH RAIVEN OVER A YEAR,

MET HER AT NOAH'S WEDDING, AND WE JUST HIT IT OFF,

AND WE'VE TALKED SINCE THEN. SO, YEAH, SHE'S REALLY COOL.

WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON, AND I JUST INVITED HER UP,

AS A FRIEND, TO SEE THE MOUNTAIN, ENJOY IT,

BREATHE IN THAT FRESH AIR, AND TO JUST HAVE SOME FUN.

OBSTACLE COURSES ALWAYS HELP NARROW IT DOWN

TO SEE THE LADY THAT'S KIND OF LIKE I AM.

BECAUSE I'M A BIT OF AN ENIGMA MYSELF.

WELL, IN THE PAST, I'VE BUILT A LOT OF

OBSTACLE COURSES, TO BE HONEST.

NOT BAD.

NOT ALL GIRLS LOVE, LIKE, THE EXTREME STUFF.

NOT ALL GIRLS LOVE TO CLIMB,

RUN, AND JUMP AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT IT'S ABOUT FINDING THE GIRL

THAT WANTS TO RUN THROUGH THE OBSTACLE COURSE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GIRL RUNNING THIS? REALLY?

YEAH, SHE HAS TO BE AN AWESOME GIRL.

NO, YOU'RE GONNA BREAK YOUR BACK, AND SO WILL THE GIRL.

I WANT HER TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND SEE ALL THE ANIMALS

THAT WE HAVE AND, LIKE, MEET MY FAMILY AND STUFF.

I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS THAT THE GIRLS IN PARTICULARLY

MIGHT DO SOMETHING THAT'S SEMI-EMBARRASSING,

AND I WOULD PREFER FOR THEM TO NOT SCARE RAIVEN AWAY

BECAUSE SHE'S AN AWESOME GIRL

AND I JUST WANT HER TO HAVE AN AWESOME TIME.

OH, YEAH! WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

SO, DID Y'ALL HEAR BEAR'S HAVING A DATE?

I DID. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU DID, THOUGH.

- YEAH. - I WAS WONDERING WHO ALL KNEW.

I THINK A LOT OF THE FOCUS ON THE RANCH

HAS BEEN THE NEXT GENERATION,

BOTH FOR THE ANIMALS AND FOR THE SIBLINGS AND STUFF.

SO WHEN IT COMES TO A DATE LIKE THIS COMING UP,

WE ALL PITCH IN TO HELP WHOEVER IS GOING OUT

OR WHOEVER IS BRINGING SOMEONE IN

BECAUSE WE WANT TO PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

AND HELP THEM PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD.

I FIND IT FUNNY THAT HE'S LIKE,

"OH, I'M NOT GONNA BE THE NEXT TO GET MARRIED.

I DO HAVE A DATE COMING, THOUGH."

HE HAS, LIKE, A SECRET GIRL COMING OUT?

NOT THAT HE'S GONNA MARRY HER.

I'M EXPECTING GRANDBABIES OUT OF IT.

BEAR, UH --

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF BEAR ARE PROBABLY, "WHAT?"

- THERE HE GOES. - THAT TOOK ABOUT A SECOND.

- I'M BEAR. - MADELINE.

HIS PERSONALITY IS VERY EXTREME, VERY OUTGOING.

DO ANY OF YOU LIKE TO CLIMB TREES?

- CRAWL THROUGH THE MUD! - HELL NO. I'M NOT DOING THAT.

I'M NOT MUCH OF A TALKER. I CAN BARELY --

YEAH, LIKE, I GET IT.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT HE FINDS A LADY,

FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE RANCH, AS WELL AS HIS HAPPINESS.

WELL, WHAT IF HE FALLS FOR, LIKE, A TOTAL REBEL?

LIKE, SHE DRIVES UP ON A BIKE AND SHE'S LIKE,

"HEY, BEAR, GET ON."

AND HE'S LIKE, "OH, I'M GOING."

AND HE RUNS AND GETS ON, THEY DRIVE OFF.

SHE POPS A WILLY OUT OF SIGHT AND --

A WHAT?

POPS A WHEELIE. WHAT?

A "WILLY."

IT'S A WHEELIE. NOT A WILLY.

"SHE POPS A WILLY."

SO, I FIGURE IF YOU HAVE THE RAKE

AND ARE HERE IN THE SHADE

WITH LITTLE ELI... YEAH.

...THEN I CAN USE MY DAD'S TRACTOR

TO GRAVEL THIS ENTIRE AREA.

THAT WAY, WE CAN FINALLY FINISH THIS THING.

NOAH PLANS ON MAKING HIS MOTHER, AMI,

AN ANNIVERSARY PRESENT BY HAND,

BUT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE UNIQUE GIFT,

HE MUST COMPLETE HIS FORGE PROJECT

THAT HE'S HAD ON HOLD FOR MONTHS.

GROWING UP, A LOT OF THE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

AND BIRTHDAY GIFTS AND EVERYTHING WERE HOMEMADE.

THOSE ARE THE BEST KIND.

ABOUT HERE?

I BUILT TOYS, LIKE LITTLE ROBOT TOYS

AND WIND-UP TOYS AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS.

MY DAD SAID THAT I WAS A LITTLE SANTA.

YEAH. YOU CAN WORK WITH MOMMY.

I CAN MAKE ANYTHING I CAN IMAGINE.

I USE THAT EVEN NOW.

IT'S SOMETHING I WANT MY LITTLE FAMILY TO USE.

YOU CAN GO OUT AND BUY THINGS FROM THE STORE,

BUT WHAT VALUE DOES THAT HAVE?

UGH. HON, STOP.

I CAN'T WORK WITH HIM. I CAN'T.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT PUTTING HIM IN HIS BOUNCER

ON ONE OF THE BENCHES? WOULD THAT WORK?

THAT'S FINE, YEAH.

- AND HE MIGHT CAN GET A NAP. - OKAY.

HAVING A CHILD IS A LEARNING CURVE IN EVERYTHING.

ONE OF THESE DAYS, YOU'LL BE BIG ENOUGH

TO WORK WITH MOMMY AND DADDY.

AND WORKING IS NO DIFFERENT.

IT JUST MEANS WE HAVE TO ADJUST.

THAT WAY, HE CAN BE COMFORTABLE AND TAKEN CARE OF

AND STILL GET THE WORK DONE AROUND HIM.

HERE, HONEY. RIGHT WHERE MOMMY CAN SEE YOU, OKAY?

BESIDES CHOPPING A TREE DOWN,

I CAN'T REALLY THINK OF SOMETHING

THAT'D BE TOO DANGEROUS FOR ELI TO BE AROUND.

I HEARD -- A LITTLE SQUIRREL TOLD ME...

- A LITTLE SQUIRREL, EH? - ...THAT YOU HAVE A DATE.

THOSE NOSY SQUIRRELS!

I DON'T GET A TON OF VISITORS UP HERE,

OHP. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

BEAR, BEAR. STOP. WHAT?

IT'S STURDY. IT'S STURDY. IT'S STURDY.

- WHEE! - BEAR, I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!

OKAY, OKAY.

BEAR DOES NEED A LITTLE BIT OF ASSISTANCE

WHEN HE'S AROUND GIRLS,

BUT THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE THERE FOR BEAR

TO FIND A GIRL AND SETTLE DOWN, ESPECIALLY FROM MOM AND DAD.

HE'S THE ONLY ONE OF THE GUYS THAT HASN'T.

SO HE DOES NEED TO FIND SOMEONE. HE'S NEXT IN LINE.

WHAT DO YOU TALK ABOUT? NOT TO GET, LIKE, IN --

YOU DON'T NEED ANY VAGUE OUTLINE. WE'RE FRIENDS.

YOU'RE FRIENDS, BUT SHE'S COMING OUT ON A DATE?

TIME TO LEAVE. OKAY. HOP ON DOWN.

NO! BEAR! STOP! TIME TO GO!

THE SISTERS DO TEND TO PRY, AND THEY ASK WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS.

BUT, NO, I REALLY VALUE, LIKE, MY FAMILY'S OPINION AND ALL,

SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME FOR THEM

TO LIKE THE PEOPLE I LIKE.

I WOULD START THE DAY -- FIND SOME, LIKE, ACTIVITY

AND THEN COME UP HERE, SHOW HER THE TOUR

OF THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN, HAVE SOME FUN WITH SOME THINGS.

OKAY. YEAH. I'LL KEEP MOST OF THAT IN MIND.

YEAH, I LIKE, I LIKE.

HE IS KIND OF A HARD PERSON TO GIVE ADVICE TO,

ARE YOU'RE GONNA INTRODUCE HER TO EVERYONE?

WELL, YEAH, OF COURSE. I'M NOT NOAH.

OKAY. GOOD POINT.

-COMING UP... OKAY. WATCH OUT.

I'M GONNA SHAKE THESE. I DON'T WANT TO HIT YOU

YOU DON'T NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD THE -- STOP. STOP.

WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT, GABE?

-THE GLASS BROKE, AND I DON'T WANT TO SERVE GLASS.

SO, WE WERE THINKING ABOUT DOING, LIKE,

A DINNER THING FOR THEM.

THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN IS BUZZING

AS THE WOLF PACK PREPARES

FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

40 YEARS! FOUR DECADES!

THAT CALLS FOR A HUGE CELEBRATION.

WE HAVE TO GO MONUMENTAL

TO SHOW MOM AND DAD JUST HOW MUCH WE CARE.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SET IT UP?

SO, I'M GONNA MAKE THEM A LITTLE NEST HERE

UNTIL WE CAN GET SOMETHING TOGETHER.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO KEEP IT HEATED SOMEHOW,

OR IT'S JUST GONNA SPOIL.

WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE HEAT LAMPS.

IT WON'T SPOIL WITHIN EVEN A COUPLE DAYS.

- OKAY. - JUST TRUST ME. IT WON'T.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO WASTE A GOOD OSTRICH EGG.

BEFORE ANNIVERSARY PREPARATIONS CAN BEGIN,

THE FAMILY MUST TEND TO THEIR NEW OSTRICH EGG.

WITH AN INCUBATOR STILL EN ROUTE FROM FAMILY FRIENDS IN TEXAS,

THE BROWNS MUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP THE EGG WARM

FOR THREE DAYS.

WE HAVE THOSE, LIKE, BROOD BOXES.

PUT A BUNCH OF HAY IN IT, MAKE IT A LITTLE NEST.

AND, THAT WAY, THE HEAT LAMP CAN HOLD ONTO IT.

THE OSTRICHES WE HAVE NOW ARE DEFINITELY NOT IMPRINTED TO US.

THE IMPRINTING JUST MEANS YOU'RE THE FIRST THING THAT THEY SEE

AND YOU'RE BASICALLY THEIR MOTHER.

SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION

OF OSTRICHES TO IMPRINT ON US

SO THEY'RE WAY LESS AGGRESSIVE.

GONNA SIT ON IT.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO...

I THINK I KNOW -- ARE YOU SITTING ON IT?

CONTINUE JUST FLUFFING THAT UP AND MAKING IT NESTY.

I'M JUST GONNA SIT ON THIS.

OKAY. YOU SIT ON IT. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU KNOW, AT FIRST, THE IDEA OF SITTING ON AN OSTRICH EGG,

IT SOUNDS FUN.

AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS, IT'S LIKE,

"UM, WHAT ABOUT WHEN I WANT TO STAND UP?"

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT.

I THINK IT TAKES MONTHS TO HATCH ONE.

YOU THINK THIS WOULD ACTUALLY HATCH IT?

I MEAN...

IF I SAT ON IT LIKE...

ALL DAY, EVERY DAY?

OKAY. IT'S A CUTE LITTLE NEST.

- YEAH. WELL, THAT'S PRETTY WARM. - ISN'T IT?

BUT WHERE'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WARM AND COOKING IT?

THE INCUBATORS, THEY TURN EVERY SO OFTEN.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THE INCUBATOR

AS FAST AS WE CAN.

WHEN THE BABY OSTRICH IS BORN,

YOU'RE THE FIRST LITTLE FACE THAT IT SEES.

IT'S GONNA COME OUT AND -- "MAMA!"

AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. BIRD AND I WANT TO BE THE MAMAS.

SHOULD WE JUST STAY HERE WITH IT AND KEEP IT ROTATED?

WE CAN COME BACK LIKE EVERY HOUR AND ROTATE IT.

WE'RE PLANNING THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER,

BEAR IS BRINGING A GIRL UP,

AND WE DEFINITELY COULDN'T HAVE PLANNED THE OSTRICHES

STARTING TO LAY EGGS RIGHT NOW.

IT'S VERY MEDIEVAL, AND I THINK

I CAN MAKE A LOT OF THE TOOLS THAT I DON'T HAVE.

BUT SOMETHING YOU MAKE AND PUT THE TIME AND THOUGHT BEHIND IT,

THAT LASTS A LONG TIME.

SO, HOW'S THE -- HOW'S THE DATING GOING?

- DATING? YEAH, IT'S GOING GOOD. - THE RAIVEN DATING.

- YEAH, IT'S GOING GOOD. - A BEAR AND A RAIVEN.

GET THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE. LET'S GET THESE BOYS MOVING.

IT'S LIKE A FISH AND A BIRD. WHERE WILL YOU LIVE?

WITH RAIVEN DOWN MOUNTAIN FOR THE NIGHT,

BROTHERS BEAR AND GABE WORK TO FINISH THEIR SHED

BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE INCUBATOR.

- OKAY. LET'S GET THESE UP. - OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.

WELL, GABE, HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE MUSCLE IN THE FAMILY.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE OX, BEEN THE STRONG GUY,

BUT HE ALSO HAS THE BIGGEST HEART OF REALLY ANY OF US.

GABE BASICALLY HAS MOM'S HEART KIND OF,

IS WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO, AND NOW THAT HE'S MARRIED,

GABE IS REALLY, LIKE, THE BEST PERSON FOR ME

TO COME TO WITH SOME SOUND ADVICE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RAIVEN?

I MEAN, I HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN TO KNOW HER.

BUT SO FAR, I THINK SHE'S REALLY COOL.

AND YOU LIKE HER. SO THAT MEANS -- THAT'S A LOT, YOU KNOW?

BEAR IS THE SWEETEST, KINDEST GUY IN THE WORLD,

AND HE DESERVES LOVE.

I JUST WANT HIM TO FEEL THE SAME THING THAT I FELT FOR RAQUELL,

THE SAME THING MOM AND DAD HAVE FOR EACH OTHER.

IT'S THAT SPARK.

YEAH, I'M JUST -- SEEMS LIKE TIME'S BEEN FLYING BY.

SERIOUSLY, LIKE, JUST -- PRETTY SOON SHE'S GONNA BE --

TIME FOR HER TO GO. I'M LIKE, "OH, NO."

THAT'S WHAT I RAN INTO WITH RAQUELL, TOO.

BUT I HOPE BEAR CAN FIND THAT IN RAIVEN.

AND I'M TRYING TO IMPART MY WISDOM ON HIM.

I AM MARRIED, YOU KNOW,

SO I'M KIND OF AN EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY NO WONDER THAT BEAR CAME TO ME FOR ADVICE.

DANCING IS, LIKE, HOW YOU WALK INTO LOVE.

YOU CAN GET A LITTLE INTIMATE. DO A LITTLE SIDE STEP.

I MEAN, DANCING HAS BEEN A FORM OF COURTING FOR A LONG TIME.

LIKE, THE 16th CENTURY ON, IT'S BEEN DANCING.

I DON'T KNOW. THERE WERE PROBABLY CAVEMEN DANCING

AROUND A FIRE TO IMPRESS THE CAVE GIRL THEY LIKED.

WORK IT. WORK IT. OW!

YOU DO THE "OW," ENVISION THAT YOU'RE WEARING

TOO TIGHT OF PANTS AND YOU BENT DOWN.

- OW! - OW!

- OW! - OW!

- OW! - THAT WAS GOOD.

- YEAH? - DO THAT.

IF SHE'S WALKING ACROSS THE ROOM, DO THAT.

AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING SPECIFIC.

YOU KNOW, IT CAN JUST BE MADE-UP MOVES.

MAYBE YOU'RE STEPPING ON FEET AND THEY'RE LAUGHING, YOU KNOW?

IT'S JUST GOOD TIMES.

- YOU TAP TO IMPRESS. - TAP, EH?

DO IT WITH ME. TWO, ONE, TWO. BACK. ONE --

- WELL, NO. NO. THAT?

THAT'S JUST STOMPING YOUR FEET. I'M TALKING ABOUT TAP DANCING.

- OW! DO THAT.

- THAT? THAT'S YOUR MOVE.

THAT'S YOUR MOVE. I'M TELLING YOU.

-COMING UP...

- THIS WAY. LET YOU LEAD THE WAY

BECAUSE I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING.

-...BROTHER BEAR CATCHES RAIVEN OFF GUARD.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU

WOULD WANT TO GO STEADY AND BE MY GIRLFRIEND.

♪♪

SO, I FIGURE WE CAN DO THE SAUCE TOMORROW.

WE'LL DO MEATBALLS AND THE NOODLES TODAY.

SO THEY CAN HAVE THAT DAY TO SIT.

OKAY, I'M BURNING DOWN SOME COAL BASE NOW, GUYS.

IT'S EARLY MORNING ON NORTH STAR RANCH,

AND THE BROWN SIBLINGS ARE PREPARING

AN EPIC CELEBRATION

FOR BILLY AND AMI'S 40th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

SHOULD WE PUT EGG IN THE MEAT SO IT STAYS TOGETHER?

I THINK THAT'S FOR CAKE. YOU DO THAT FOR MEAT, TOO?

YES, 'CAUSE IT HAS TO HOLD TOGETHER.

WITH ONE DAY UNTIL THE FESTIVITIES,

SIBLINGS BEAR, BIRD, AND RAIN WILL COOK THE MAIN COURSE

USING THE WOLF PACK'S UNIQUE RECIPE.

I JUST LOVE PLAYING IN, LIKE, THE YOLK,

ESPECIALLY BEFORE IT'S, LIKE, BROKEN.

IT JUST FEELS SO...ICKY.

OH. THERE WE GO.

SPAGHETTI IS ONE OF THE ONLY FAMILY RECIPES WE HAVE.

ONLY MOM AND DAD CAN MAKE THE TRUE RECIPE,

BUT US KIDS, WE'RE TRYING.

THE NOODLES WILL BE SMALL. MEATBALLS ARE GONNA BE LARGE.

IN PREPARING THE MEAL,

WE ALL KIND OF WANTED TO BE INVOLVED IN IT.

AND SO RAIN IS GONNA MAKE THE NOODLES FROM SCRATCH.

BEAR AND I GOT TO DO THE MEATBALLS.

AAH! IT'S HOT!

- NO! MEATBALL DOWN! BURNING!

MEATBALL DOWN! BRING IN THE PARAMEDICS!

I'LL EAT IT STILL. I'M JUST GONNA GRILL IT.

ALL OF US KIDS ARE PRETTY GOOD COOKS, TO BE HONEST.

I'M MORE OF LIKE A FIELD-COOK KIND OF GUY MYSELF.

HEY, GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY LID?

AH. THINK THAT'LL HOLD THE STEAM IN THERE?

MAKE IT BOIL? IT'LL HOLD SOMETHING.

SO, I'M ON NOODLE DUTY.

THIS IS THE FIRST BATCH OF NOODLES I'VE EVER MADE,

AND I'M COMPLETELY WINGING IT.

YOU KNOW, GUYS, A LITTLE DIRT NEVER HURT ANYBODY, RIGHT?

WE DON'T WANT ANY DIRT IN THE NOODLES, GUYS.

IT'S GOOD FOR YA.

- THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DIRT- - NO DIRT IN THE NOODLES.

WE'RE COOKING OUTSIDE. THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DIRT.

MOM AND DAD ARE THE ONES THAT TAUGHT US

A LITTLE BIT OF DIRT'S FINE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DIRT I HAVE EATEN IN MY LIFE?

NOT AS MUCH AS IN A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE NOODLES.

♪♪

WITH ALL THOSE BUTTERFLIES AND LOVE IN THE AIR,

WITH WEDDINGS AND ANNIVERSARIES AND LITTLE YOUNGSTERS,

DOES THAT MAKE ONE OF Y'ALL WANT TO GET MARRIED?

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO BE WITH A GIRL

THAT'S THIS EXCITED SHE JUST MADE A NOODLE.

THERE'S SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE.

YOU KNOW, IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE OLD TIMES

AS I'M SITTING HERE 'CAUSE WE'RE AROUND THE CAMPFIRE,

US KIDS ARE TRYING TO COOK.

- IS IT BOILING? - OH, IT'S BOILING!

RAIN, GET THE NOODLES IN HERE! IT WORKED!

BRING THEM OVER, RAINY!

OOH. THEY LOOK GOOD, SWEETIE. I THINK JOB WELL DONE!

I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE REALLY GOOD.

EVEN THOUGH THE NOODLES MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DIRT

AND A MEATBALL MIGHT HAVE FALLEN ON THE GROUND OR TWO,

I THINK IT'S JUST PART OF THE PROCESS OF COOKING OUTSIDE.

IT ADDS A LITTLE BIT OF A CRUNCH AND A FLAVOR.

UH, I'M MISSING A RING.

I KNOW I HAD IT ON BEFORE I MADE THE MEATBALLS.

EW!

♪♪

STRAIGHTEN UP.

HAVE HIM STRAIGHTEN IT A LITTLE, RAIN.

NOAH, COME MY WAY.

IT'S THE MORNING OF BILLY AND AMI'S ANNIVERSARY,

AND THE INCUBATOR HAS FINALLY ARRIVED FROM TEXAS.

WITH JUST HOURS BEFORE THE BIG CELEBRATION,

IT'S A SCRAMBLE TO THE FINISH LINE.

- GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. - NOPE. NOPE. STOP. YEP.

IT'S MOM'S AND DAD'S 40th ANNIVERSARY.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE OSTRICH EGGS IN THE INCUBATOR.

BEAR'S BRINGING UP A GIRL.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT ALL DONE AT ONCE.

WE MIGHT COULD JUST, LIKE, SHIMMY IT, LIKE, WALK IT IN.

WE HAVE THE SHED UP, AND IT'S A HUGE STEP FOR US.

- PUSH! - HOLD!

AS MUCH AS I WOULD ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE TO SIT ON THE EGG

ALL DAY AND THEN HATCH IT AND IT BE MY LITTLE EGG,

NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY INCUBATE THESE EGGS,

AND THEY WON'T IMPRINT ON THE OTHER OSTRICHES --

THEY'LL IMPRINT ON ME.

WE CAN DO IT A LITTLE FURTHER TO THAT WALL,

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL WE NEED TO DO

WITH THE DOOHICKEYS BACK HERE.

SO WE CAN PUSH IT A LITTLE FURTHER THIS WAY.

AND THEN I WANT TO TEST IT OUT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TEST IT OUT?

I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW COMFY IT IS INSIDE --

FOR MY LITTLE EGGS.

THEY'LL BE HERE. THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL BE LIKE.

AND THEN THEY'LL GET NICE AND WARM.

THEN EVENTUALLY THEY'LL BE LIKE...

WHAT KIND OF NOISES WILL THEY MAKE?

MEEP, MEEP!

- AAH! AAH! - MEEP, MEEP!

I THINK YOURS NEEDS TO BE PUT DOWN.

I TESTED THE INCUBATOR OUT JUST TO MAKE SURE

THE OSTRICHES ARE GONNA HAVE A NICE, LITTLE HOME

WHILE THEY'RE INCUBATING, AND IT'S NICE.

I KIND OF WANT TO SEE WHAT IT'D LOOK LIKE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE.

I DON'T TRUST NOAH.

IT'S VERY WARM. THEY HAVE WINDOWS.

THEY HAVE LITTLE LIGHTS. THEY SHOULD BE BE REALLY COMFY.

MEEP! MEEP, MEEP, MEEP!

♪♪

WE'RE GONNA HIT THIS ONE. A BIT OF A TRAIL UP HERE.

A LITTLE BIT OF A SUNSHINY VIEW. AND NOT TOO MUCH OF A HIKE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

AS THE REST OF THE CLAN PREPARES

FOR THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER, BEAR AND RAIVEN TAKE A WALK

TO BEAR'S FAVORITE SPOT ON THE MOUNTAIN.

AH. IT'S PRETTY NICE OUT HERE.

WE'RE GOING ON A HIKE OF SOME SORTS.

A SMALL HIKE IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.

BEAR'S TAKEN ME TO DO A LOT OF THINGS,

BUT NOT A HIKE YET, SO I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

- SO, LET'S HEAD UP THIS WAY. - OH, THERE'S A FEATHER.

OH, WOW. AHH.

LOOKS LIKE A TURKEY OR A HAWK FEATHER.

PROBABLY A TURKEY.

MY VISITOR HAS BEEN PRETTY AWESOME THE WHOLE TIME.

THIS WHOLE OUTING

THAT TURNED MORE INTO A DATE HAS BEEN PRETTY COOL FOR SURE.

LIKE, I NEVER REALLY EXPECTED ANYTHING TO GO

QUITE THIS DIRECTION.

- THIS WAY. - LET YOU LEAD THE WAY

'CAUSE I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING.

WHEN I INVITED HER UP TO CHECK OUT THE ANIMALS AND STUFF,

TO SEE THE PLACE, WAS TOTALLY IN A FRIEND THING AND ALL.

WASN'T REALLY LOOKING FOR ANYONE IN PARTICULAR.

BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN AN ANGEL FALLS OUT OF THE SKIES

RIGHT INTO YOUR ARM?

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CATCH HER, RIGHT?

- WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK? - IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

ON ACCOUNT OF US GETTING ALONG SO FAMOUSLY...

I WAS WONDERING

IF YOU WOULD WANT TO GO STEADY AND BE MY GIRLFRIEND.

♪♪

I FIND IT FUNNY I LIVE IN A BIRDHOUSE AND MY NAME IS BIRD.

BUT THE CATS, THEY LOVE IT A LOT.

I GIVE YOU A LOT OF FLAK,

BUT I'VE DONE SOME WEIRD THINGS WITH CATS, TOO.

YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE I AM WITH GYPSY.

SHE CAME UP TO ME.

I SAW THIS MOTHER CAT WITH, LIKE, A YEARNING.

LIKE, SHE WANTED TO NURSE HER BABIES.

WHERE'S THIS GOING, RAIN?

SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD RELIEVE SOME OF THE PRESSURE

AND MILKED HER A LITTLE BIT.

WHY WOULD YOU MILK GYPSY?

SHE WAS IN PAIN.

THE CRAZY CAT LADY IS CREEPED OUT BY YOU MILKING HER CAT.

I'M SINGLE, AND I HAVE TOO MANY CATS, YES,

BUT I'VE NEVER TRIED TO MILK ONE.

YOU HAVE TO FIND THE ONES THAT ARE FULL.

SHE'S NOT A GOAT!

SHE DOES LOOK LIKE SHE'S ENJOYING THAT.

JUST DON'T GO MILKING THE MALE CATS.

WHY -- WHY DO YOU HAVE YOUR RING?

THIS RING IS ACTUALLY A RING

I'VE HAD A REALLY, REALLY LONG TIME.

ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I WEAR IS MY WOLF RING.

WOLF HAS JUST ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF ME,

ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY FAMILY, SO I'M GIVING IT TO RAIVEN

AS A PROMISE THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE LOYAL,

THAT I'LL BE HER WOLF IS SHE WANTS ME TO.

AND EVEN THOUGH THAT I ASKED YOU TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND

AND TO GO STEADY, IT'S NOT MARRIAGE.

IT'S NOT A PROPOSAL.

IT ACTUALLY IS A PROPOSAL OF A KIND,

BECAUSE TO ASK YOU TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND, GOING STEADY,

IT'S A PROMISE TO JUST YOU AND I TO BE COMPLETELY LOYAL

AND TO HAVE EYES FOR ONLY EACH OTHER AT THIS MOMENT.

SO IT'S NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING,

BUT IT IS A BIT OF A PROMISE RING.

♪♪

- AH-HA! - THANK YOU.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING STEADY, YEAH?

THANK YOU.

GLAD HAVING YOU HERE. FOR SURE.

I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME.

EVERYTHING WITH BEAR FEELS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS STRANGE TO HEAR,

BUT EVERYTHING JUST FEELS --

PLAYED OUT EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD PLAY OUT.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE YOU, SO...

- I'M A GIRLFRIEND. - YEAH, YOU'RE A GIRLFRIEND.

GOT A RING. THANK YOU.

-TO BE HONEST, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST EXTREME POSSIBLE.

SO WHEN I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU

I'M GONNA BE THE MOST EXTREME ROMANTIC PERSON THAT THERE IS.

THE SURPRISE ANNIVERSARY DINNER

IS MINUTES AWAY, LITERALLY.

WE'RE ALL JUST TRYING TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES UP

AND GET EVERYONE'S POSITION COMPLETELY IN ORDER,

'CAUSE A COUPLE PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE CONFUSED.

THERE'S A CHICKEN ON THE DANCE FLOOR, AND WE'RE SET!

WE HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON THIS.

WE'VE BEEN BUSTING IT SINCE DAY ONE

TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING READY.

EVERYTHING IS COMING DOWN RIGHT TO THE WIRE.

WE HAVE THE FOOD. WE HAVE EVERYTHING LAID OUT.

BEAR'S GOT HIS GUITAR TUNED.

SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

RIGHT THIS WAY TO YOUR SEATS.

IT'S COOL.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

- WELCOME. - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

HAVE A SEAT.

WELCOME TO YOUR 40th-ANNIVERSARY DINNER.

TONIGHT WE'LL BE HAVING TWO DISHES.

WE HAVE THE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS AND THE SALMON.

THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED UP BY A TRADITIONAL PIE DINNER,

BOTH OF BANANA AND CHOCOLATE.

CHOCOLATE PIE.

CHOCOLATE PIE? OH, YOU WANT TO START WITH THE PIE?

- WELL, OF COURSE. - MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART.

ALRIGHT. I'LL GO PUT YOUR ORDER IN, AND IT'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

I'M NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL THAT THIS IS GONNA BE PERFECT.

I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE

A LITTLE BIT OF A DISASTER.

OH, IT'S GONNA BE A DISASTER.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BEVERAGE?

- YES, PLEASE. - OH, YEAH, YEAH.

- THERE YOU GO. - THANK YOU.

- ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE A SERVER? I AM THE SERVER THIS EVENING.

DAD!

YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BUSH,

YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

ALL I HAD WAS MY BUCK TEE,

BUT I HAD A BOW TIE, AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.

- WHERE IS THE CHOCOLATE PIE? - I DON'T HAVE IT.

WHY IS THERE NO CHOCOLATE PIE?

I JUST TOLD HIM THERE'S CHOCOLATE PIE.

HE WAS EXCITED AND WANTED CHOCOLATE PIE.

- I WAS TOLD CHOCOLATE PIE. - WHO TOLD YOU --

GO TELL THEM WE'RE OUT OF CHOCOLATE.

ALL WE'VE GOT IS BANANA.

- OH, THAT LOOKS ATROCIOUS. - EXCUSE ME.

WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT, GABE?

THE GLASS BROKE. AND I DON'T WANT TO SERVE GLASS.

SOME THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG,

BUT THAT'S WHY MOM AND DAD LOVE US SO MUCH, I THINK.

WE'RE ALL TOGETHER, WE'RE HAVING FUN,

AND WE'RE MAKING A PRETTY COOL ANNIVERSARY DINNER,

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT REALLY COUNTS.

ARE YOU HAPPY?

I'M ECSTATIC. ARE YOU KIDDING? THIS IS SO PROFOUND.

I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR ALL OF THIS.

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT I'D BE DOING THIS OUT BY OURSELVES...

BUT I WROTE YOU A DIDDY.

YOU WANT TO READ IT, OR YOU WANT ME TO READ IT TO YOU?

YOU READ IT TO ME.

I THINK WE'VE DONE THIS FOR EACH OTHER, WHAT?

40 TIMES SO FAR?

YEAH. THE FIRST ONE THAT I WROTE FOR YOU,

IT WAS OUR SEVENTH MONTH, AND WE WERE IN...

IN THAT HOMEMADE MOTOR HOME,

AND YOU WERE WASHING DIESEL TRUCKS IN THAT TRUCK WASH.

I THINK OUR MARRIAGE HAS LASTED SO LONG

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT WHOLE WITHOUT THE OTHER ONE.

I BELIEVE THAT TRUE-LOVE STUFF.

TOGETHER WE MAKE ONE ENTITY THAT'S A GOOD PERSON.

SEPARATE, WE DON'T.

FOR 40 YEARS, YOU'VE PUT UP WITH ME.

AND A COUPLE OF TIMES, I'VE PUT UP WITH YOU.

HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF MILES WE'VE WALKED SIDE-BY-SIDE,

I WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE.

WE'VE WALKED OVER MOUNTAINS, THROUGH HEAVY SNOW,

WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MINUS AND FAR BELOW.

NEVER ONCE DID YOU TURN AWAY. I'LL STATE LOUD AND CLEAR.

NOT ONCE IN 40 YEARS DID I DESERVE THE BLESSING OF YOU.

THANK YOU, MY DEAR LADY BLUE,

FOR GIVING ME WHAT GOD GAVE TO YOU.

THANK YOU. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

I LOVE YOU.

WHAT I HAVE FOR AMI IS UNDENIABLE LOVE.

WITHOUT THAT, I'M NOT ME.

AMI AND I STANDING SIDE-BY-SIDE, WE WERE A PRETTY GOOD FORCE.

SINKING BOATS, BURNING HOUSES,

HARSH WINTERS, BIG STORMS.

ALL THESE THINGS THAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH

AND THEY STUCK TOGETHER.

LOVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND STRONGEST FORCE IN THE WORLD.

THAT'S THE MAIN FOUNDATION FOR THIS RANCH.

WITHOUT MOM AND DAD'S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER,

I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LOVE WAS.

ALL WE'VE TRIED TO DO IN OUR LIFE

WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FAMILY CORE WOULD GO ON.

A BIG DEAL THAT I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO BE WITH HER 40 YEARS,

A BIG DEAL THAT I'VE GOT A FAMILY LIKE I HAVE.

THAT'S MY IDEA OF HEAVEN.
