-[adventurous music playing]
-[children laughing]

[Dad] With the help of Navajo
mechanical engineer Aaron Yazzie,

there's only one minute

until Xus National Park's
first-ever rocket launch.

Apollo 18 is ready for launch.

It's so cool that we built our own rocket.

-We're gonna reach for the stars.
-[Eddy giggles]

Flying is the best. You'll love it.

All right, kids, it's time to launch.
Let's give Aaron some room.

Count down with me.

[all] Three, two, one.

-Blast off!
-[whooshes, clunks]

-[Dad] Xus, we have a problem.
-[Kodi] No!

Ah, system failure.

-[both exclaim]
-Hmm.

[screams]

It was supposed to go up,
up and away, not…

[imitates rocket falling, exploding]

Our rocket didn't even
get close to the stars.

[sighs] We failed
at being space explorers.

Not at all.
This is the fun part of science.

We get to figure out the problem
and try again.

[Dad screaming in video]

Aw, space rats.

I missed the end,
when I, uh, totally did not panic.

Know what? I might have something
at the Ranger station to help the launch.

I'll walk with you.
We'll be right back, Junior Space Rangers.

[sighs] We'll never be
as awesome as Mr. Yazzie.

Or Chickasaw astronaut John Herrington.

Or Mary Golda Ross,
the coolest Cherokee aerospace engineer.

Leaping lizards, am I glad to see you.
Rangers, we got a problem.

Oh!

What in the human world is this?

[gasps] It's so shiny and just my size.

Hi, 'Onokok. What's going on?

Whose is this? They won't miss it, right?

I mean, they left it here
all alone in the dirt.

It's a rocket.

We helped build it, but it crashed.

All I need is some vines to tie it on,
and space lizard away!

Whoo!

-[imitates rocket]
-[laughs] Not so fast.

Unless you want a crash landing.

Our rocket didn't work.

Ah, horse flies.
I could've used it to help Coyote.

-What happened?
-Is he okay?

Mm, it'll make more sense
if he explains it, I think. Follow me.

[children] Hmm.

[crickets chirping]

Xuxa'w, where are you?

-[Coyote clears throat] Hey, up here!
-[gasps]

-Coyote?
-What the what?

Why are you up there?

Hey, I had a good reason.

Check out my epic prank.

I wanted to prank the park with my…

[in sing-song] …new constellation.

I call it "Coyote 'The Rock' Trickster."
Spitting image, right?

When you said Coyote was stuck…

Yep. Stuck up on an 'aqiwo.
That means "star" in Samala.

[Kodi] How did you even get up there?

I used a staircase made of clouds.

But then Moon soared by,
and the clouds blew away. Poof.

I told him it was a bad plan.

So, Rangers, how about getting me down?

I can't fly that high.
There's no air in space.

Hmm, maybe we could build a rocket.

We tried building one. It failed.

There has to be another way.

How about a ladder?

Let's make one tall enough
to reach the 'aqiwo.

-Huh.
-Hmm.

[creaking]

[Coyote] So, you want me to hop
to the cloud,

skip down the ladder
and jump to the ground?

Nuh-uh. No way.
I'll fall and be a coyote-shaped splat.

Splat!

How about we meet you at the cloud?
We'll catch you.

[Coyote] Promise?

Cross my wings and hope to fly.

We got you, Coyote.

Lizard, you'll hold the ladder. Okay?

Yeow!

Sure. I might have pulled something,
but it's fine. It's fine.

No, no, no. Don't make a fuss.

[suspenseful music playing]

[panting] Hold on.

Just need a wingety-split break.

-[creaking]
-Whoa! Eep.

-Don't look down.
-Hmm.

[gasps] Yum, takeout! I love it.

-We're falling!
-[both screaming]

[screeches]

[laughs]

[chomps] Mm!

Reminds me of my favorite recipe:

Flyjitas.

There was a fly! What do you want from me?

It's okay. The ladder was unstable anyway.

We better try something else.

How about sh**ting an arrow at Moon
with a string attached?

-I can use the rope to swing down.
-How about no?

-We are not sh**ting arrows at my face.
-[giggles]

Let's see if my brother can help.

[whooshes]

Sunny!

[yawns]

I'm up. I'm up.

We could use a little help, Qsi.
Coyote got stuck on an 'aqiwo.

Maybe you could give him a nudge
with a sunbeam?

Sure. Hang on.

-[sizzles]
-[groans]

Hot Coyote. Hot Coyote!

[blowing]

-Uh…
-Abort plan.

"Abort plan" means
I go back to sleep, right?

[yawns]

Oh, feathers.
I really thought that would work.

Another failure. [sighs]

It looks like you're gonna be
stuck up there forever.

I better start looking
for a new best friend. [chuckles]

[Coyote] Hey, now. Let's not be hasty.

We need another plan, quick.

[gasps] I know. Follow me to the lake.

Oh, Qamash!

-We need your help!
-[water sloshes]

Qamash gets to play? Fishy joy.

Meet our water launcher.

Great thinking, Eddy.

Qamash, we're gonna hop in your mouth,

and you'll sh**t us up to the stars
like a Qamash fountain.

Yay! Qamash fountain!

Now, this plan is gonna work for sure.

-[all] Blast off!
-[Kodi] Whoo-hoo!

Almost… Almost…

-[Eddy] Whoa!
-[Kodi] Uh-oh.

[Summer] Oh no!

[all scream]

[Kodi grunts, chuckles]

Maybe we should ask an expert.

We need someone who knows
all about reaching the stars.

[Coyote] Yes, good plan.

I'm so hungry
I'd even eat Lizard's bugloaf.

What? My bugloaf is delicious!

We'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.

[whimpers]

Hi. Mr. Yazzie.

If a coyote was stuck in the sky,
how would you get him down?

Uh, pie! If our friend was stuck in a pie,
but it's really high up.

Okay. Phew. It sounded like Coyote
was messing with the stars again.

-[mysterious music plays]
-[chuckles] Just kidding.

That's an old Navajo story.
But if someone were stuck in the sky--

Sorry, a really high pie,
have you tried a rocket to get them down?

No. We tried to build a rocket once
and it failed, remember?

We almost took out Dad.

Well, yes, our rocket failed at first.

Don't be afraid of failure.
Learning from mistakes is what science is.

-It is?
-[Aaron] See?

I added these extra fins for stability.

Here, Kodi, you wanna help me
launch it this time?

[fuse burning]

[children chuckling]

[all] Three, two, one. Blast off!

[whooshes]

-[Summer] Yay!
-[Kodi] Whoo-hoo!

We did it!

Thanks, Mr. Yazzie.
I think I know what we need to do.

[chuckles] Good luck.

Mm.

Now I want pie.

[hopeful music playing]

Don't worry, Xuxa'w,
we're gonna get you down.

Yippee!

♪ I'm gonna get some food
I'm gonna get some food, food, food ♪

[roars]

[both chuckle]

[giggles]

Okay. The ladder fell
because it was too wiggly.

So, we need somewhere stable
to launch the rocket.

We could launch it from Lawetlat’la.
She knows how to bring the heat.

And she can sh**t steam
even higher than the Qamash fountain.

Mm-hmm. And Sunny failed
to get Coyote down

because he was too hot.

So, if we use a sunbeam for extra heat,
it could work.

But what if it crashes again?

The rocket we built with Dad and Aaron
needed extra fins.

I'll steer.

Part girl, part bird, and now part rocket.

I am awesome!

-Ready, Sunny?
-I was born ready.

Ready, Rangers?

-Suit up, 'cause I'm about to blow my top.
-[giggling]

-Help me count down in Cowlitz.
-[roars]

Here we go.

Eddy's ready.

[all counting down in Cowlitz]

-Blast off!

Thank you, Rangers.

I thought I was going
to be stuck up here forever.

Don't thank us. Thank science.

And all of our failures
for helping us find the best way.

It's bubble time!

[blows]

[hopeful music playing]

[grunts]

[roars]

Summer, steer us toward the landing pad.

Girl-bird-rocket Summer
reporting for duty.

-[Eddy] Yay!
-[Summer] Whoo-hoo!

[Lizard laughs]

Land! No more sky pranks.

It's you and me, buddy, from now on.

[kissing]

[spitting] Ugh.

-[Lizard grunts]
-Your best friend is home.

-Come on. It's bugloaf time, Rangers.
-[Eddy] Uh…

-There's enough for everyone.
-Ugh.

Thanks, but we're good.

Coyote, it's all yours.

Oh. Um…

Well, you know,
I'm not that hungry anymore. I'm good.

Oh, well. More for me.

-[chomping]
-Ah! Ugh.

[Lizard] Mm.

[chuckles]

[children counting down in Cowlitz]

Blast off!

Has there always been a constellation
that looks like a really buff coyote?

-Um…
-[children giggling]

[Summer reading]

Spacebird Summer!

-Blast off!
-[adventurous music playing]

-[gasps]
-[clacks]

Whoo! You did it!

Spacebird Summer
is the first hawk in space.

-Wow, Summer. That was awesome.
-[giggles]

Did you build that cool rocket launch
space track all by yourself?

Yeah.

And the hawk that DeeDee made for me
just became an astrobird.

Sweet. Now, the figurines DeeDee gave us
can be the first bear…

And turtle.

…in space.

[imitates whooshing]

Sorry.

It's just, I built this super awesome
rocket launch space track by myself…

[gasps]

…and I wanted to play with it… by myself.

-[ringing]
-Uh…

[DeeDee] Growler Bear?
Come in, Growler Bear.

-This is TweedleDee. Over.
-Hi, TweedleDee.

This is Growler Bear.
What's your 20? Over.

The visitor center.
We have a Code Elderberry.

I repeat, we have a Code Elderberry. Over.

Code Elderberry?

That means our elderberry--
I mean, our elder, DeeDee needs help.

-[Summer] 10-4.
-Roger that.

[DeeDee] Thanks for coming, Rangers.
I need your help.

Remember that ampo
that I borrowed from my friend?

You said it's a very old bowl

that you borrowed
from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma,

so visitors to Xus Park could learn
about a tribe from another state.

-Wasn't it sitting right here?
-Yes.

I was doing my figurine carving
by the front door,

and when I came back, it was gone.

Oh, no.

The ampo was part of a cultural exchange.

I loaned my friend
a Chumash eating bowl called astuk,

and she loaned us the ampo.

If we don't find it,

she'll never trust me
with their art again.

Junior Rangers are on it.

We'll look high.

And low.

-[phone chimes]
-One problem. She'll be here in an hour.

-Wow.
-Uh-oh.

If you search the visitor center,
I'll search the offices.

Thanks, Rangers.

[Kodi] The ampo has to be here somewhere.

It's not like the bowl grew legs
and walked away.

[male voice] Whoa.

[mysterious music playing]

[screams] Spirit Rangers! What happened?
Your heads are enormous!

Phew.

Gotta say, giant heads
are not a good look for you.

-Coyote?
-That's Detective Coyote to you.

Detective Coyote, did you take the ampo
DeeDee borrowed from the Choctaw Museum?

[gasps]

Would I do something like that?

Well, you are a trickster spirit.

I'll give it to you, Eddy,
that's a good point.

Still, wasn't me.

Then why were you taking this basket?

I wasn't taking it.

That was my disguise.

I was looking for the missing ampo.

Inspecting the crime scene. See?

And nobody suspects
a basket of criminal activity.

I guess that makes sense.

[intriguing music playing]

I've looked all over,
and the ampo isn't here.

-I suspect whoever took it was a spirit.
-[gasps]

Well, that means we'll have to
find the ampo in Spirit Park.

Okay, Detective Coyote, where to?

Well, if you wanna find
a missing Choctaw bowl,

Detective Coyote says
we need to ask a Choctaw spirit.

[grunting contentedly]

Hey, Buffalo. Aren't you a Choctaw spirit?

Loud and proud.

Have you, by chance,
seen a Choctaw ampo come through here?

-Well--
-Don't play dumb with me, Buffalo.

You may be 50 times bigger than me,
but I have ways to make you talk, see?

Hmm. [continues munching]

You don't want these geckos
to lick your eyeballs, do ya?

So if you know what's good for you,
you'll tell us what.

Lizard. Lizard has the ampo.

-Huh?
-Lizard?

What?

I saw her heading toward her log,

mumbling something about,
"It's my ampo. My ampo. Mine!"

Lizard? Ugh. It can't be Lizard.
She'd never do something like that.

That's something I'd do.

I don't believe it either,
but it's our only clue.

-This case just got scalier.
-[intriguing note plays]

'Onokok, you in there?

Hello? Come out with your scales up.

[gasps in horror]

What if the thief who took the ampo
also kidnapped Lizard?

I have to get in there. Open up!

Open up in the name of Detective Coyote.

[gasps] It's the ampo!

But why would Lizard take the ampo?

-[rattling]
-[gasps]

The jig is up, 'Onokok.

Oh, buffalo biscuits.

[exciting music plays]

[grunts]

[both grunt]

[panting]

-[dramatic music playing]
-The ampo's mine! Just let us be together!

Why'd you do it, Lizard?

This isn't like you.

I thought I knew you.

All season I've admired
this beautiful piece of pottery

just sitting there in the park museum.

[Eddy] That's so everyone could enjoy it.

I know that taking things is wrong,
but I had to.

We belong together.

Nobody loves it as much as me. No one!

I know it's supposed to
go back to the Choctaw Nation today,

but I can't part with it.

Now go. All of you.

I have something very special planned.

-[song ends]

I can't believe it,
but Lizard's gone to the dark side.

[snoring]

She's asleep. What do we do?

It's time to begin Mission: Responsible
and take back that ampo.

-My precious.
-[suspenseful music playing]

Just a little lower.

[gasps]

[snoring]

Ampo.

Sorry. My paw slipped.

I'll float the ampo to you in a bubble.
Here goes.

[blowing] Phew.

[grunts]

[both scream]

[all scream]

-Bring it on, Rangers.
-[straining]

And Xuxa'w.

That's Detective Xuxa'w to you.

You'll never take my precious ampo. Never!

[cackles]

Mission: Responsible, take two.

Say "haku" to my little fish.

Not the puffer fish.

You play dirty, Lizard.

-[grunts]
-[ominous music plays]

I taught you how to puffer-fish.

Agh! Ugh.

[sputters]

The student has become the puffer.

Let's be reasonable, Lizard.

Put the fish down.

The ampo is mine.

[Summer screeches]

I surrender.

[giggles]

That tickles.

-Be cool.
-[in deep voice] Ahem. That tickles.

It's time for Mission: Responsible,
take three, Ranger Nation.

[exciting music playing]

When you're a detective,
you gotta master the element of… surprise?

[all scream]

-You've been Lizard-trapped! [cackles]
-[ominous music plays]

[groans] She sure knows
how to trip a tricky trap.

I think we need to regroup.

-[Kodi] Why did you wanna come back here?
-To make a new plan. Operation: Spirit.

Okay.

Imagine this rocket ship is Lizard's log.

Ooh! And these figurines can be us.

Exactly. I was thinking maybe
we could move into the trees like this.

If we use fishing poles,
maybe we lower Coyote onto the roof

without Lizard hearing us.

-And I'll hide over here. [laughs]
-Nice. I get it.

Thanks for letting us
use your rocket, Summer.

You know what?

It's more fun to share my rocket ship
with you guys.

[gasps]

I hope Operation: Spirit works.

Shh! This time
we really need the element of--

Surprise. [chuckles]

Don't puffer-fish my fur.

I love this ampo so much.

Yeah, uh, your song gave that away.

I was gonna keep it for myself,

but after seeing you all play together,

I realized it's better to share.

[Kodi chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

Just imagine how happy you'll be
seeing other people love it too.

I'm so glad you're back.

Ahem.

I mean, it's good to have you back, kid.

Lizard.

Kid Lizard. You know what I mean.

-[chuckles]
-[gasps] Oh.

We don't have much time.
We have to get this back to DeeDee.

It's sure good to see you, old friend.
I wish I had better news.

Wait. DeeDee. Hold on!

[hopeful music playing]

Ah, yes, here it is. Safe and sound.

Rangers, you're the best helpers
an elder could ask for.

How can I thank you?

Do you remember
the figurines you made for us,

-the hawk, bear, and turtle?
-[chuckles]

Think you might make us
a coyote and lizard too?

I'll make 'em for you myself.

Thanks, Summer. Playing with friends
is way better than trapping them in a net.

Who knew?

You were pretty handy
with that puffer fish, though.

Now, are you ready
to be the first lizard in space?

Space Lizard ready for launch!

-Oh, yeah.
-[all laughing]

[closing theme music plays]
