The next morning when Koda arrived back in Adventure Bay he saw that Denise & Richard were being taken away by the police. They were furious when they saw him.

"YOU" yelled Denise.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the queen & prince of Losertonia. You should be happy that you're going back to jail" said Koda.

"WHERE'S NIKITA?" yelled Richard.

"She's in Foggy Bottom" said Koda.

"THIS ISN'T OVER. WE'LL GET YOU FOR THIS" yelled Denise.

"NIKITA'S DEAD ONCE WE FIND HER" yelled Richard as Denise & himself were tasered while trying to escape police custody. They were then taken away in the police car.

"Good riddance" said Elias.

"I'll say. Now Nikita can come home" said Koda.

"She'll be excited to hear about this" said Captain Turbot.

"Oui she'll be happy to know that Denise & Richard are back where they belong" said Francois as Koda was tackled by Cali.

"Hi there, cutie" said Koda as he chuckled. Cali meowed & purred as she kissed & nuzzled Koda.

"You 2 are so cute" said Elias.

"You sure are" said Ryder.

"Thanks guys" said Koda as Cali meowed.

"Let's go pick up Nikita Cali" said Koda as Cali & himself got on his ATV.

"You look cute in my outfit" said Koda as Cali purred & kissed Koda. They then headed to Foggy Bottom to bring Nikita home. 2 months later everything had gone back to normal albeit with a few changes. Koda gave his position as substitute pup to Cali which made her an official member of PAW Patrol while Koda became co-leader with Ryder, Nikita & the Turbot cousins had been reunited, Denise had been taken back to jail without any chance of parole & Richard had been sent to military school. He sat in his dorm trying to think about who was responsible for putting him there.

"This place sucks. I should be in juvenile detention. When I found out who put me here I'll make them pay" said Richard as he sat on his bed still trying to think of who had sent him to military school. Suddenly the door opened revealing a soldier in the doorway.

"CLOVER FRONT & CENTRE" yelled the soldier as Richard stood at attention.

"Clover reporting for duty sir" said Richard.

"Excellent. I want you on the field in 5 minutes. You & the other recruits will have a special guest instructor training you today. Don't try anything stupid. Do you understand?" asked the soldier.

"Yes" said Richard.

5 minutes later Richard & the other recruits were out on the field.

"Please welcome your guest instructor Koda Shepherd" said the soldier as Koda appeared.

"Good morning everyone" said Koda as he noticed Richard.

"Look what the cat dragged here" said Koda.

"YOU" yelled Richard.

"How's military school been training you soldier?" asked Koda.

"YOU PUT ME HERE DIDN'T YOU? I'M GOING TO GET YOU KODA" yelled Richard.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH SOLDIER OR ELSE YOU'LL DO 100 PUSH UPS FOR TALKING BACK TO A SUPERIOR" yelled the soldier.

"You better listen Clover. Otherwise you'll pay the price. EVERYONE GIVE ME 20 LAPS AROUND THE BLOCK" yelled Koda.

"SIR YES SIR" said the recruits as they began running laps. As they did Richard began to wonder if Koda really was responsible for putting him in military school.

"I wouldn't be surprised if me coming here was Koda's idea. I don't know that for sure, but I think my suspicion is correct. If it is, I'll make that stupid wolf pay" said Richard.

Later that day all the recruits were in the cafeteria eating lunch. Richard was walking around the campus looking for Koda. Soon he spotted him & Principal McGasket talking.

"I think having Richard put here was a great idea. Don't you agree Principal McGasket?" asked Koda.

"It sure was. This place will make him think twice about his misbehaviour & straighten him out" said Principal McGasket.

"I'm glad I thought of it. I knew this place would benefit him" said Koda.

"Soon he'll be a well behaved & respectful young man. I'll make sure of it" said Principal McGasket.

"So, it was Koda who put me here. He'll be sorry he did this to me" said Richard.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Koda as Richard turned to see Koda behind him.

"I knew you did this to me" said Richard.

"It's ironic Richard. It was a choice between this & prison camp. Since I believe in redemption & rehabilitation I made the right choice" said Koda as Richard growled.

"YOU" yelled Richard.

"I bet you'll thank me for this in the future. By then you'll have learned your lesson. Revenge isn't the answer. It never was & never will be" said Koda as silence filled the room. Richard began laughing as he faced Koda.

"I'M GOING TO GET YOU KODA" yelled Richard as Koda ran away with Richard giving chase.

"Talk about déjà vu" said Koda.

"COME HERE SO I CAN SKIN YOU ALIVE" yelled Richard as he continued chasing Koda. The staff pursued Richard telling him to stop. Richard ignored them as he continued to chase Koda. 5 minutes later Richard began to feel tired.

"Give up Richard. You can't outrun a wolf" said Koda.

"STOP WASTING TIME. STAY STILL SO I CAN BUTCHER YOU" yelled Richard as he was restrained & taken away by the staff.

"I'LL GET YOU KODA. THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'VE SEEN OF ME" yelled Richard.

"He needs to get his act together or else he'll end up going down a dark path" said Koda.

5 months later Richard went on a mission in the forest where he encountered Lunabelle. He attacked her & left her seriously injured. Before he could kill her, he saw a group of wolf pups approaching. They were whimpering in fear at what they saw. Richard was suddenly reminded of his father. 1 dark & stormy night a long time ago Richard was out with his father when they encountered a mugger who murdered Mr Clover in a robbery attempt gone wrong. Richard cried himself to sleep for many nights after that incident. Suddenly he dropped to his knees & burst into tears. He then saw Koda approach. To his surprise Koda got on his hind paws & walked like a human.

"I knew you'd come to your senses" said Koda as he reached out to Richard. Richard pulled Koda in for a hug.

"I'm sorry for what I did. Please forgive me" said Richard.

"All is forgiven" said Koda.

"Do you think mum will also have a change of heart?" asked Richard.

"I don't know. She might" said Koda.

"I hope she does. If I can do it, she can too" said Richard.

"Indeed. Anyways we need to get Lunabelle help. KIDS FRONT & CENTRE" cried Koda as he & the others proceeded to help Lunabelle into Richard's vehicle. They then headed to the vet for treatment.

"I see the military is treating you well Richard" said Koda.

"It sure is. Thanks for getting me on the right track" said Richard.

"You're welcome" said Koda.

Soon everyone arrived at the vet. Lunabelle was rushed inside.

"We need help. She'll die if we don't do anything" said Koda.

"I can take it from here" said the vet as she took Lunabelle to the back room to examine & heal her. Everyone else waited in the foyer.

"I'll feel really guilty if she doesn't survive. It'll feel like I killed my own mother" said Richard.

"I'm sure Lunabelle will be fine. She's going to make a full recovery" said Koda as Lunabelle's pups looked at him with concern.

"It's OK kids. Your mother will make it" said Koda as another wolf entered the building looking less than pleased. It was Lunabelle's mate & the father of her kids, Lupinus. Koda ran over to him in concern.

"Hi Lupinus" said Koda as he gave Lupinus a hug.

"How'd you find us?" asked Koda as Lupinus looked at Richard & growled.

"You saw what happened didn't you?" asked Koda as Lupinus advanced towards Richard with an angry look in his eyes.

"Lupinus wait. He's had a change of heart. I swear he's reformed" said Koda as Lupinus' kids got between him & Richard whimpering with fear as Lupinus watched in concern.

"They're saying "Please daddy spare him. We saw him break down in tears. He even apologised to Uncle Koda". Wait do they actually call me that Lupinus?" asked Koda as Lupinus nodded in confirmation.

"I never knew they felt that way about me. Anyways Richard no longer wishes to hurt us. Please forgive him" said Koda as Lupinus looked at Richard & nodded.

"Thanks" said Richard as the vet appeared. She became confused when she saw Lupinus.

"Who's that?" asked the vet.

"That's Lunabelle's mate" said Koda.

"OK. I suppose he wishes to see her, doesn't he?" asked the vet.

"Correct. Come on guys" said Koda as he & the others followed the nurse.

"Lunabelle's going to make a full recovery" said the nurse.

"Excellent" said Koda.

"I'm glad to hear that too" said Richard as everyone was taken to see Lunabelle. She was bandaged up & feeling sore but otherwise OK. Lupinus & their kids cuddled with her.

"Good to see you doing well Lunabelle" said Koda as Lunabelle nodded before noticing Richard.

"Before you do anything crazy Richard helped us. He regrets what he did. Ask Lupinus" said Koda as Lunabelle looked at Lupinus who confirmed Koda's claim. Lunabelle then nodded at Richard.

"I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks for forgiving me" said Richard as Lunabelle, Lupinus & their kids howled.

"I'll leave you to bond. Let's go Richard" said Koda.

"Bye guys" said Richard as Koda & himself left the vet & headed back to military school.

"It amazes me how much you've changed in the last few months" said Koda.

"I don't know if mum has changed but I'm sure she'll come around eventually" said Richard.

Later that day at the prison Denise was being held at 2 guards approached her cell.

"It's your lucky day Mrs Clover. Some idiot bailed you out" said the 1ST guard.

"We made sure it wasn't a trap this time" said the 2ND guard.

"I wonder who it could be this time" said Denise as Koda appeared.

"You must be happy to be released. You're welcome" said Koda.

"Why would you bail me out? Are you crazy or just plain stupid?" asked Denise.

"I never said I bailed you out. Your assumption is wrong. Here's the real person who did" said Koda as Richard appeared.

"Hi mum" said Richard.

"You look different Richard" said Denise.

"Military school really helped. If it wasn't for Koda I wouldn't have gotten on the right track. He can help you too" said Richard.

"You went to military school?" asked Denise.

"It was my idea. You should be thanking me. He & Nikita even made amends" said Koda as Denise dropped her jaw. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"See you later" said Koda as he turned to leave. Suddenly Denise grabbed him by the neck & held a gun to his head.

"Mum what are you doing?" asked Richard.

"While I'm happy you made something of yourself it's his fault I got put back here. Now he shall pay the price. Even though you're right & that I should be thanking you Koda it'd be more fun to kill you" said Denise.

"Mum don't. You're making a huge mistake" said Richard.

"Is that so? I think it's time I returned the favour after everything he put us through" said Denise as Richard grabbed his gun & pointed it at her.

"If you shoot him I'll shoot you. Don't make me do it. Let him go. I'm done hurting people. For once in your life make a choice that won't have negative consequences. I nearly took Lunabelle's life today. When I saw her pups whimpering in fear it reminded me of dad. They begged me to spare her" said Richard as he teared up. Denise looked at him in disbelief.

"How can you remember that?" asked Denise.

"Even if it was 10 years ago I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember seeing you just as upset" said Richard as Denise began reminiscing about what happened.

"The scumbag who took him away deserves to rot in hell. Ever since Darren died I've never been able to forget what happened" said Denise as she began to tear up. She released Koda before dropping to her knees in tears.

"Look what happened to us. We went off the rails. It's our own fault this happened" said Denise.

"This is the perfect opportunity to make our life better. We can start a life that won't get us in trouble. I know we can do it" said Richard as he gave Denise a hug.

"You're right Richard. It's time we turned over a new leaf & make better changes to our lives. Koda I'm sorry for everything we put you, your family & friends through. Thanks for helping us" said Denise.

"You're welcome. Whenever you're in trouble just yelp for help" said Koda as his pup tag rang.

"Koda here" said Koda as the holographic screen revealed Ryder as the caller.

"Hi Ryder. What's up?" asked Koda.

"I just wanted to know how the bail went" said Ryder.

"It went well. If Richard hadn't stood up to Denise you'd be attending my funeral" said Koda.

"Sounds like she's still mad about what happened" said Ryder.

"She just had a change of heart. They're both rehabilitated" said Koda.

"I'm glad to hear that" said Ryder.

"Ryder Mayor Humdinger's causing trouble in town again" said Chase.

"What does he have against us?" asked Koda in an annoyed voice.

"I think he's jealous that we keep beating him in competitions" said Ryder.

"What's he doing this time?" asked Koda.

"The mayor's race is in town again. He's probably going to cheat" said Ryder.

"I'm on my way. Get the pups together" said Koda.

"Will do. See you soon" said Ryder as he hung up.

"I have to go. See you later" said Koda as he left Denise & Richard & headed back to Adventure Bay to put Mayor Humdinger's plans to a stop.
