[Kodi] "Finding True North."

-Look, kiddos. It's the North Star.
-[Summer] Cool!

Very cool, Summer.

You could say the North Star is
the ultimate rock star of navigation.

[Kodi] Rock on!

[giggles] Well, Kodi,
that's just a science-dad joke.

Stars are actually giant ba*ls of gas.

[Eddy] Awesome.

It is, Eddy.

I'm thrilled you're all
so interested in astronomy.

[Kodi] Bear boogie!

[upbeat music plays]

Yay!

Oh, yeah.

And the Lizard limbo, baby!

♪ Limbo, limbo, Lizard
Limbo, limbo, Lizard ♪

Or Trickster tango.

[tango music playing]

I love a good dance app,

but tonight is about learning how to
navigate using the stars, remember?

-[turns off music app]
-We know. We should be listening.

-We just got distracted.
-I... I didn't get distracted.

I'm the least distracted person in the...

Ooh.

If I blink really fast,
we all look like robots.

-[techno music plays]
-[Lizard] Beep-bop, beep-bop.

It's great to have fun,

but it's also great
to know when to pay attention.

Especially when it's something
as important as the North Star,

which is known by many other names.

We call her Sukupin in Samala,
because she lights the way.

[Dad] That's right.

The North Star pulses
as her gases heat up and cool down,

causing her to twinkle.

Why don't you all practice
your navigating skills

by hiking to Stargazers' Point?

A great Junior Ranger challenge.

We'll have my famous salmon jerky
waiting when you get there.

Or we can have some right now. So chewy.

You were gonna eat 'em all.

But it's getting dark.

Even better to see the North Star.

No worries.

[sniffing]

This ol' sniffer will keep me
following the jerky... Uh...

-Keep us heading in the right direction.
-And my tail will blaze the trail.

-[Mom and Dad] Bye.
-[Lizard] See ya.

[Coyote] Ah, a fork in the trail.

[gasps] Wonder if we need a fork
for salmon jerky.

Uh, which way should we go?

I'm pretty sure they said
to follow the brightest star,

which is me and my constellation,

Coyote "The Rock" Trickster.

[gasps]

It's like I'm looking in a mirror.

-This way!
-[Eddy] No, wait.

Mom and Dad said to follow the North Star.

I don't see the North Star.
We need her to find Stargazers' Point.

Does that mean we're lost?

Not if we find the North Star
in Spirit Park. Come on.

[intriguing music playing]

Uh...

North Star, is that you? [swallows]

We're here to find you.

Ah!

[shell tapping on rock]

[seals barking]

Quiet. You're scaring away the scallops.
And I'm hungry.

Ah!

Not another one!

[Miy sighs]

I'd howl at Moon,
but she's making me dizzy.

-Incoming!
-Duck!

Sorry, everyone.

Moon's out of orbit
without Sukupin in the sky.

I told her not to wander off,
but she never listens.

Ugh. Sukupin's head
is always in the clouds.

Since she's missing,
nobody knows which way is north.

Spirit Park really needs our help.
We'd better find Sukupin.

-I hope she's okay.
-That could be Sukupin.

Let's go!

Fascinating. I have never met
a crustacean before.

Hey. Who ya calling crusty?

Haku, Sukupin.

Nice to beak you.

[giggling]

We're the Spirit Rangers.

Yes. Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia.

Uh... what is that?

Your scientific names, of course.

Bear, hawk, turtle.

Ah! A tide pool.

Tremendous.

Hello? Sukupin?

It's like I'm looking in a mirror.
Delightful.

-I don't think Sukupin is listening.
-Pfft. So surprising.

-We need to get her attention.
-Getting attention is my specialty.

Step right up.
Right this way. Don't be shy.

Dare to see an astounding transformation.

You may see
an ordinary bear cub, hawk, and turtle,

but watch as the ordinary
becomes extraordinary.

Scoop-'n'-Splash.

[splash]

Unbelievable!

I know. It is hard to believe
how amazing I am.

Ow! Scoopy.

Lot of scoop-a-dooping thanks I get.

Chondrichthyes, Cephalopoda, and Mammalia.

Oops. I should say
stingray, octopus and orca.

Outstanding to meet you.

We'd love to chat, Sukupin, but for now,
could you please return home?

You're needed in the night sky.

Without you shining bright in the sky,
nobody knows head from tail.

We don't know east from west
without the North Star. Whoops.

-Careful.
-Look out, Buffalo!

[whistling down]

Coyote "The Rock" to the rescue.

-[thud]
-Ah! Uh...

I mean, Rangers to the rescue!

-Stay right here. We'll be back.
-Yes, sirree.

And whatever you do,
don't wander into the ocean.

-Are you listening?
-Righty-dighty.

Whee!

Apela. In case you're not aware,
that's Choctaw for "help"!

[adventurous music playing]

Stingray shock!

Octo-launch!

Orca trampoline!

[straining]

[whooshing]

[Buffalo grunts]

Phew! Better get back to Sukupin.

Thanks, Rangers.

Hello?

[sighs]

Not again.

Sukupin?

-Haku!
-Sukupin?

She promised to stay put! Grr!

She seemed a little distracted.

You think a star would be easy to find
with my super-powered sniffer.

[sniffing]

-No. But I'm getting nothing.
-[Summer calls]

Even with my hawk-eye vision,
I don't see...

Uh-oh. Flutter my feathers.

She's underwater!

[all] Sukupin.

I asked Sukupin if she was listening.
And what did I get? "Righty-dighty."

Oh, yeah. Never believe a star spirit
who says "righty-dighty."

Oh, sparkly coral.

Glowing eels.

Fancy fish.

So much to catalog.

Are you okay?

Hey, now!

Very peculiar.

Mm.

By my calculations, I'm losing heat,
which will most likely cause me to dim.

-Fascinating.
-Ow!

That's no good for Sukupin.

Or the park. We all need her bright light.

Sukupin, you need to leave the ocean now.

-Agreed.
-Wrong way.

[Eddy] Turn around!

Oh, no!

Oops. Got a tad discombobulated.
Up in a jif.

[grunting]

Mm. By my calculations,
I'm stuck in the trench.

[suspenseful music playing]

[all] Aah!

Hold on.

Octo-grab!

Whoa.

[Eddy] What is that?

Ocean vents. Interesting.

[grunting]

I'm continuing to dim. Also interesting.

Hurry, Spirit Rangers.

-There are twelve vents. I can plug eight.
-Oh! We can plug the rest. Tails ready.

[grunts, kisses]

I'll grow you back, baby.

Hi-ya!

[giggles]

[grunts] Stingray-squeeze.

Sukupin. Shimmy out.

Superstar idea.

[grunting]

[gasps] A rare Blob Sculpin fish.

Sensational!

No, Sukupin. You have to listen.

The vents are about to blow.

[screaming]

I'll try... to... hold them.

[yelps]

-Whoa!
-Ah!

Phew.

Sukupin. This is important.
Please pay attention.

Oh. Yes!

You were saying?

We need to get you out of here
to save you.

And all of Spirit Park.

You're the North Star.
You can't lose your starlight.

Oh, no.

I came down to Spirit Park to study,

but there were so many wonderful sights,
I got distracted.

-It's okay, Sukupin.
-We got distracted earlier too.

My light helps others navigate,
but I didn't listen when it was important.

-My behavior was...
-Uh...

Wrongy-drongy?

[all laughing]

[straining]

Righty-dighty, Rangers.
But I'm listening now.

Thank you for bringing my light back

and helping me find my way,

-Speaking of help...
-Can you help us get to Stargazers' Point?

[giggles] You bet. Follow me.

[joyous music playing]

-Mm.
-[Eddy] We did it.

-Haku.
-Hey, kiddos.

I'm so proud of you for finding your way.

My Junior Ranger rock stars,
bring it in for a Mama Bear hug.

-[roars lovingly]
-[giggling]

-[roars]
-Oh, Mom.

Look. North Star's shining bright.

Did she help you navigate?

[chuckles]

We helped each other.

Oh, Sukupin.
She always has her head in the clouds.
