Getting her belongings together, Sam woke Mirabel up and she got up as they climb down the tree to get to the bottom floor, hearing squawks from some birds nearby.
Opening the front door, Sam and Mirabel spot Sentinels standing in front of them.
"Dangerous food creatures detected. Stay put, we'll find and destroy them," One of them "reassured" before they head off.
After they leave, Mirabel and Sam hear laughing behind them and they turn around to see Barry hanging onto Sam's backpack.
"Barry!" Sam said as her eyes widen, taking Barry into her hands. "You can't be here."
Barry just giggled in response, not understanding the gravity of the situation.
Looking through the doorway, the Sentinels pass on the other side so Mirabel closed the door so they would not see Barry.
Just then, Earl came down from above as he used a vine, along with holding Brent, Manny, and Steve.
"You better hide him," Manny advised.
Mirabel helped Sam put Barry in her backpack as they hear Flint's voice say, "Okay, gang!"
They glance up to see Flint sliding down toward them as he used a vine.
Flint landed on the ground as he held the machine and said, "Today's the day we find the FLDSMDFR. Sam, I was thinking about what you said last night-"
"N-woo?" Barry cut Flint off.
"What?" Flint raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Uh, me too!" Sam covered with a smile.
"Right, listen, guys, I have been acting weird, but it's only because I'm under a lot of pressure," Flint rubbed the back of his neck.
"N-woo?" Barry spoke again.
"What?" Flint's gaze snapped to Sam.
"So true!" Mirabel answered for Sam, nervously nodding her head.
Flint looked at Sam and said, "B-but I'm also doing this for us. You see, I-I still want Sparkswood to happen, but I can't. Not until I become a great inventor like Chester V."
Sam placed her hands on Flint's shoulder and replied, "Flint, you…don't have to prove anything."
She was cut off when Chester landed between them, causing the two to take a step back.
"Ha, ha, Lockwood! How goes the inventing?" Chester questioned, pushing Sam back toward Mirabel.
Sam glared at Chester while Mirabel narrowed her eyes.
"Uh, uh, very good, sir. I was up all night making this," Flint replied, holding up the invention. "I call it the Flint Lockwood Food Jungle Topographical Pointing Machine, or-"
"The FLFJTPM! Brilliant!" Chester agreed with a smile.
"Oh, thank you, sir. Follow the bean, find the machine," Flint said as he turned around and activated the beam, which scared away two flamangoes.
"All I have to do now is cut the leg holes," Flint added, showing a picture of the machine.
"Ooh!" Chester hummed.
Mirabel looked at the picture and said, "I don't know about that, it looks a little sus."
Sam walked over to Flint and replied, "She's right, maybe it's better…here!"
Sam put the invention onto Flint's head as Flint said, "Great idea, Sam."
Out of the corner of her eye, Sam spotted Chester glaring at her.
"And, guys, you can help me by-"
"Ha, ha," Chester laughed, cutting Flint off. "Excuse us."
Chester led Flint away from them, whispering something in his ear.
"Distracting?"
Hearing Flint's voice, Mirabel kept her attention to Chester and Flint, the former chuckling and pulling Flint closer, whispering more things into his ear.
"My chest hairs just don't trust that Chester," Earl spoke up.
"Excellent! Let's go!" Chester shouted as he and Flint walk down the path.
Slowly, Earl, Manny, Steve, and Brent follow the two.
Once they were a good distance away, Mirabel and Sam kneel to the ground as Sam took off her backpack.
"Okay, Barry, time go home now-"
Sam was cut off when Barry jumped out, nuzzling into her face.
Mirabel chuckled and said, "What a cutie."
Sam took Barry off her face and handed him to her as she said, "Take care of him for me."
Mirabel watched Sam grab her backpack and run off as she looked down at Barry.
"So, Barry, how about a goodbye hug?" Mirabel asked as she hugged Barry.
"Barry?" Barry asked.
Mirabel and Barry pull apart and Mirabel answered, "Right! Barry. You Barry."
"B-b-barry!" Barry stuttered.
"And I'm Mirabel Madrigal, but you can just call me Mirabel," Mirabel introduced herself.
"Mibel," Barry stammered, trying to get Mirabel's name right.
"Right! And the woman whose backpack you were in, that's my mommy, kinda, Sam Sparks," Mirabel replied.
"Saspa!" Barry stammered.
Mirabel nodded and said, "Right! Mirabel and Sam-"
"Come on, Mira!" Flint cut Mirabel off, calling to her from a distance.
"Coming!" Mirabel called back.
Mirabel placed Barry back on the ground and said, "Okay, Barry, time to go home now. Now, go."
"Buh," Barry smiled, motioning Mirabel to follow him.
"Bye," Mirabel whispered, waving back.
Mirabel got up and ran after the others as Barry watched her.
"Mibel," Barry said with a frown.
…
After a few hours of walking, making progress toward the FLDSMDFR, they get into a clearing with blue grass and trees with red leaves surrounding them.
Suddenly, one of the Sentinels step on something, causing something to shriek.
The Sentinels point their ice arms in the direction where the grass parted, moving up the hill.
A moment later, they hear large footsteps heading toward them, causing Flint, Chester, and Barb to look back to see who was coming.
The leaves rustle just before a giant creature that was made out of tacos, similar to a crocodile, came up onto the hill.
Once it spotted them, it growled in their direction.
"Tacodile! Supreme!" Manny exclaimed, coming up with a name for it before the tacodile roared at them.
Earl stood in front of Sam, Brent, Steve, Manny, and Mirabel, shielding them with his body as he exclaimed, "Holy guacamole!"
"I got this, bro!" One of the sentinels reassured. Not even a moment later, the tacodile picked him up with its mouth, tearing into the suit.
"I'm okay!" The man in the suit reassured before he was flung away.
Everyone, except the Sentinels, ran over to a tree nearby, hoping to get away from the foodimal as Chester scurried up the tree first.
Flint stopped at the bottom, putting his hands together and called, "Up there!"
Mirabel and Sam run past Flint as they climb up the tree as Brent, Earl, Steve, and Manny join them.
Hearing screaming behind him, Flint looked back to see the tacodile chasing after Barb, but it did not look like she would outrun it.
"Barb!" Flint yelled, running over to Barb, his invention flying off his head.
Just as the tacodile was about to bite into Barb, Flint tackled her and they land underneath it as it bit down where they once were.
Luckily, its attention was drawn to the Sentinels since they were shooting ice at the tacodile.
Flint turned his attention to Barb, who looked to be in a small state of shock as he whispered, "You okay?"
"Uh-huh," Barb nodded.
"Freeze!" One of the Sentinels shouted, shooting ice at the tacodile, freezing one of its feet.
The tacodile roared, spewing different types of food at the Sentinels, blowing them away.
Flint and Barb make their way back over to them as Flint encouraged, "Come on, let's go! Let's get out of here!"
Manny spoke spanish as he got down from the tree, following Barb and the Sentinels. Chester jumped down from the tree as Flint picked up his invention and his bag.
"Bravo, young Lockwood, bravo!" Chester praised.
Earl leapt down, catching Brent in his arms and followed the others, Steve following them.
Mirabel was about to jump down when Sam held out her hand.
"Wait," Sam whispered.
"What?" Mirabel asked as Sam pointed her to something.
Mirabel and Sam watch the large tacodile, trying to break its foot free, but five tiny tacodiles appear, running to the big one as one of them helped break the ice, freeing the big one.
Two of the smaller ones start play fighting, but the tacodile grabbed one's tail, picking it up and placing it away from the other one.
When the tacodile looked up, she growled at Mirabel and Sam before walking away with the five tiny tacodiles following behind.
Mirabel and Sam softly gasp and look at each other in realization.
"A mother?" Sam asked in a whisper.
Mirabel looked saddened for a moment as she said, "Mothers protect their children? Not…"
Mirabel trailed off as they hear Flint call from below them, "Sam! Mira!"
Sam grabbed Mirabel's hand before they jump down from the tree and they land on the ground, seeing Flint motioning them to follow him and they quickly join them, heading after the others.
