[Kodi] Broken Tree-tys.

[Summer] Three hawk feathers,
two hawk feathers, one hawk feather…

Ready or not, here I come!

-[Eddy] Shh. Psst.
-Hold still.

Can't… resist… music. Must dance.

-[beeping]
-[Coyote beatboxes]

Found you. I win!



-Aw, what gave us away?
-It might have been the dance party.

Woo! Come on, let's do this!

♪ Lizard dance-bot can't be stopped ♪

♪ Robot dance mode activate ♪

-[beeping continues]
-I wouldn't celebrate yet.

Those beeps aren't music.
They're bulldozers!

Let me at 'em,
let me at 'em, let me at 'em!

Don't worry, DeeDee.

I got this.

Let me at 'em, let me at 'em!

What they're trying to say is
our park isn't scheduled for construction.

Listen, my trusty paperwork says

the new cell phone tower is
supposed to be built right here.

-No!
-What?!

[Eddy] Not our treehouse!

[gasps] Oh, crickets!

What's a cell phone tower?

Don't worry. Our park has a contract

saying the head ranger is in charge
of what's built at Xus National Park.

A contract? What's that?

Contract, treaty, agreement.

They're fancy ways of saying
you'll keep your promise.

No matter how old the promise is,
it's important to keep it.

Like when I promised Mom
I wouldn't buy a fifth drone,

even though I really wanted to.

If I just find that contract,
it'll clear this all up.

We can help find it.

I just found Kodi, Eddy,
Lizard, and Coyote playing hide-and-seek.

I mean, just Kodi and Eddy.

All right, kiddos. It's in my office
in a nice, big frame. Will you bring it?

-We're in!
-Eddy's ready!

You better get it fast
'cause my crew ain't got all day.

[Summer] This will be easy.
Mom's office is always so…

clean?

-[Eddy] Whoa.
-[Summer] This is a bird-tastrophe.

Haku, Spirit Rangers.

-[Kodi] Condor?
-Like what I've done with the place?

I don't think Mom will.

You're right. She'll want some more drama.
Glamour. Pizzazz.

Ooh, good idea, Almiyi. Pizzazz time!

No more pizzazz.
We have to find an important contract.

I don't know what that is,

but if it's important,
can it go in my nest?

No, it's for Mom.
And we need it to save our treehouse.

Why are you nesting here anyway?

Oh, it's Maqutikok',
the woodpecker spirit.

All he does is
loudly peck, peck, peck my beautiful tree.

How am I supposed to get my beauty sleep?

It takes a lot of sleep to look this good.

Did you ask him to stop?

I tried.

Long ago, Woodpecker promised me
he wouldn't peck my tree.

We even made a tree-ty belt together
to make it official.

But today, it was peck, peck, peck!

He was driving me crazy, so I left.

Hm, maybe if you show Woodpecker
your tree-ty belt,

he'll remember his promise.

If we can help you get your tree back,

then we can find Mom's contract
in this mess. What do you say, Condor?

Well, I do miss my real nest.

Come on.
Let's save the park and Condor's nest.

[exciting music plays]

♪ Let’s go, Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ Calling on Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ Let’s go, Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ Calling Kodi, Summer, Eddy ♪

Kodi Cub!

Summer Hawk!

♪ Spirit Rangers, Spirit Rangers ♪

And Eddy Turtle!

♪ Let's go, Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ Calling on Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ They're Spirit Ranger ready ♪

Ah, home squawk home.

-[Kodi] Ew!
-[Eddy] Eurgh! Slimy worm!

Yeah! [laughs]

Is it my birthday?

Hey! Those are my worms.

I pecked them square and fair! [slurps]

Why is he wearing a funny scarf?

That's not a scarf. That tree-ty belt
signifies how important our promises are.

Woodpecker, you made them
with all us bird spirits

when you promised not to peck our trees.

Hoot, hoot.

That's right, Almiyi.

Woodpecker,
did you make a tree-ty with Condor?

Yeah, and what of it? [burps]

Well, like his promise,
that belt is broken.

They look hard to make
with all the little beads and shells.

They sure are. I remember making
the first one like it was yesterday.

That wasn't you.
The Haudenosaunee made them first.

That's how we got the idea
for the park, remember?

Oh, yeah. The Six Nations. So stylish.

Oh, I don't care how stylish it is.

And that tree-ty is so old.

It doesn't mean anything. [burps]

It does too, Maqutikok'.
And you can't just use our belt as a bib.

Why don't you two talk things over
while we work on making you a new belt?

[hopeful music plays]

Phew! These are hard to make.

But we did it.
This new belt will fix everything.

Ready to keep your promise?

Fine, fine. If it'll stop your squawking,
you can have your tree back for now.

Thank you, Spirit Rangers.

It's gonna take some work
to fix these woodpecker holes,

but I have an eye for elegant decor.
It'll be spruced up in no time.

Speaking of work,
we still have to find Mom's contract.

Come on, Rangers. Let's move.

Hey, kids. Watch out for that nest.

I think Mom
left her window open again. [laughs]

Our park birds will get into anything.

Have you noticed more birds
than usual around the park lately?

[chuckles nervously] A bird? In here? No.

-That would be ridiculous.
-Yeah. [gasps]

-Bald Eagle!
-Everything okay, squirt?

Just saw a bald eagle outside.

It was flying away
with a big piece of paper in a nice frame.

Yeah, Dad. I saw it too.

A framed piece of paper?
That has to be the contract.

Come back, eagle. I've got seeds!

-Phew!
-Phew! That was close.

Hoot. Sorry for startling you, Eddy.
I'm not trying to be scary. Honest.

Nothing is as scary
as Woodpecker these days.

He's taking over the whole forest.
All day, it’s peck, peck, peck.

Broken tree-tys,
birds getting kicked out of their homes.

Can today get any worse?

Haku! I'm home.

Condor, your home is in the spirit forest,
not the station.

Not anymore.

Maqutikok' has broken all his tree-tys,
new and old.

It’s bird madness out there.

It's bird madness in here!

We'll never find the contract
if we don't stop Woodpecker.

It's up to us to make him honor them.

Let's go.

[whimpering]

-Oh, no! Someone's in trouble.
-[Coyote] Put your back into it!

[straining]

-Come on, you got this. Let’s go.
-Why did I eat so many worms?

[burps]

Okay, Woodpecker, you've had your fun,

but it's time to keep your promises
and repair all these tree-ty belts.

I'm too full to keep my promise.

How would you feel
if someone broke their promise with you?

I'd feel fine, I'm sure.

Promises are made to be broken.

They're not really forever.

Wait a second.
If Woodpecker's part of the tree-ty

was that he wouldn't peck your tree,
what was Condor's part of the tree-ty?

Hm, if I remember correctly,

I promised I wouldn't eat Woodpecker.

Huh?!

But if we can
just break our promises all willy-nilly,

then I guess
that means I can eat Woodpecker. Mm.

On second thought,
maybe keeping promises is important.

[chuckles] It's only fair.

[Summer] ♪ We wanna get along
To keep things chummy ♪

♪ Don't break your promises
That's really crummy ♪

♪ A bird who keeps his word ♪

♪ Won't ever end up
In someone else's tummy ♪

♪ So you ♪

[all] ♪ Keep your promises ♪

[Eddy] ♪ You swore that you'd stay true ♪

♪ Your agreement says
You'll see your tree-ty through ♪

♪ You want your friends
To keep their promise too, so… ♪

♪ Keep your promises ♪

♪ Keep your promises ♪

♪ Your friends all share these trees
So it's worth checking ♪

[Summer] ♪ If all the noise you make
Is friendship-wrecking ♪

[all] ♪ You could explore these woods
'Cause there are many other trees ♪

♪ To do your pecking ♪

♪ Yes, you keep your promises ♪

[Eddy] ♪ Make sure your word is strong ♪

♪ Trusting others is
The way we get along ♪

♪ If tree-tys fall apart ♪

♪ It all goes wrong, so… ♪

[all] ♪ Keep your promises ♪

♪ Keep your promises ♪

The new tree-ty belt is perfect.
I'll consider it a housewarming gift.

Spirit Rangers, thank you for teaching me
the importance of tree-tys.

And, birds, thank you
for helping me keep my promises.

We can't live together

if we don't respect each other
like good, feathered neighbors.

I'll hoot to that.

Yeah! Spirit Rangers!

Anytime, fellow birds.

Yeah. We’ve got your shell.
I mean, we’ve got your back.

Now we've just gotta find Mom's contract
before it's too late.

I can't believe it's so hard
to find a big piece of paper in a frame.

Oh, a big piece of paper in a frame?

I put it behind
that strange square tree stump.

You mean Mom's filing cabinet?

If you say so. I had to move it.

I just couldn't focus with my handsome
reflection looking at me all the time.

That has to be it. We'd better hurry.

If you give us a few more minutes,

I'm sure my junior rangers
will find the contract.

We're running out of daylight,
and I gotta bulldoze, lady.

-[Summer] Stop those bulldozers!
-[Eddy] Wait!

We've got the contract!

Here you go. A framed promise.

I mean, contract.

Hm. According to this contract,
my company made a promise

not to touch any land in this park
without your say,

and I'm keeping that promise.

We'll find someplace else
to build our tower.

Hey, youse guys, power down the dozers.
We're not tearing down anything today.

-All right!
-Hooray!

-[DeeDee] And stay out.
-Phew! That was close.

I can't thank you kids enough
for finding the contract.

Thanks, Mom. We made a promise,
and it's important to keep it.

Whoa!

[uplifting music crescendos]

[Summer] Hoop Dance Off.

Testing, testing, one, two, three

It's your favorite rapping dad
Spelled D-A-D

[Mom] You’ve still got it, honey.

-[Dad beatboxes]
-Go, Dad!

Encore!
-I love it.

But not as much as my special hoops.

I thought we were hosting a dance show,
not a hula-hoop show.

We are. It’s a hoop dance show.

If hoop dancing is
anything like hula-hooping,

I'll be a pro. [groans]

If you want to be a pro,
you'll have to practice.

Just like the great Tulalip hoop dancer,
Terry Goedel.

[grunts]

-Awesome!
-So cool.

[chuckles] I may be an elder,

but I've still got the moves.

This is the eagle.

See my wings?

Wow, DeeDee!

That was amazing.

I've never seen
an eagle dance move before.

I need to learn to do that.

[grunts]

Ooh! I'm okay.

I could really use more dancers
for the show tonight. Will you help me?

-Let’s hoop dance!
-Eddy’s ready!

-Oops!
-[Kodi] Oh, no!

-[both groan]
-Eddy’s not ready.

[Summer laughs]

Hoop dance moves
are inspired by nature, animals.

Animals? You mean like bears?

Or turtles? Tell me there are turtles.

Get to the eagle already. Please.

To master the eagle,

you have to learn other moves first.

Like the snake.

Or the flower.

-Cool!
-Those moves are great for beginners.

Beginners?

-So cool.
-Awesome.

[grunts]

[groans]

This is harder than it looks.

[groans] I think I'm stuck.

And by "think," I mean I am stuck.

You have to practice.

I'm gonna… master that eagle move.

Whoa!

[Summer] I meant that.

If you really wanna learn the eagle move,

then you gotta start small,

with an eagle's nest.

[sneezing]

[Lizard sighs]

Did that box just sneeze?

-Oh, it was probably just the wind.
-And whatever it was, it went that way.

Uh, I… I better check, just in case.

We don't want any critters
near the cables.

I can't miss my favorite show tonight,

America's Next Top Monster Truck.

Oh, I sure hope Smashzilla wins.

Uh, keep practicing. I'll be right back.

Are you learning how to hoop dance?
I'm a huge fan.

My favorite dancer is
the great Nakotah LaRance.

Tony White Cloud is my favorite.

He was almost as good as me.

You did better than us.

And we gotta practice before the big show.

You just need a good teacher,
which is definitely not me.

What about the animals in Spirit Park?

They know how to put that special sauce
on their own moves.

Coyote, normally I would never say this,
but that’s a really great idea.

I’m full of good ideas.

Wait a second. That means I can ask Eagle
to teach me the eagle move.

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

DeeDee will be so surprised
when she sees how good we are.

[exciting music plays]

Kodi Cub!

Summer Hawk!

♪ Spirit Rangers, Spirit Rangers ♪

And Eddy Turtle!

♪ Let’s go, Spirit Rangers
Calling on Spirit Rangers ♪

♪ They're Spirit Ranger ready ♪

You're going to learn how to hoop dance
from some of the grooviest animals

in Spirit Park.

I expect you to knock every human sock
off their smelly human feet.

Human feet are so weird.

Way too many toes.

Oh, right.

Spirits, assemble.

Flower Spirit growing up.

Snake Spirit is super excited.

Wait a second. Where's--

Eagle Dancer! I'm your biggest fan.

What's up, little hawk?

I can already tell
that you're all very talon-ted. [chuckles]

-That's a bird joke.
-And a dad joke.

You better believe it.

-[Eagle Dancer beatboxes]
-[kids giggle]

Save it for the talent show, Feathers.
Flower, you're up first.

Aw, man. What about Eagle?

When you've mastered the other moves,
then you're ready for my move. Ta-ta.

But I wanted to learn the eagle move.

Let's get blooming.
The flower move is all in the roots.

[Eddy strains]

Oh, turtle toes.
I’m never gonna get this move.

It's okay, Eddy. We just need to practice.

Right, Summer?

-Summer?
-[Summer] Please. Come on.

Will you show me the eagle move now?

Not until you're ready, little hawk buddy.

Come on! It's time for our next move.

-Hey!
-We'll learn from Eagle later.

The snake move
involves great concentration.

Be the snake. Be the snake.

Hey, watch the fur!

I wasn't the snake.

Eagle, I'm ready for your move.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Now that you’ve learned the basics
from Snake and Flower,

I can teach you my eagle move.

Out of the way!
Fellow heroic bird coming through.

My move doesn't just take
the grace of the flower

and the smoothness of the snake.

You also have to tell
the story of an eagle's life.

From nest to eaglet…

to full-grown eagle.

That looks really hard.

Use what you’ve learned
from Snake and Flower.

You can do this.

I did it? I did it!

We're just like eagles. Ca-caw!

That's eggs-actly it.

That's another bird joke.
I'm full of them.

Step aside and learn from the master.
[groans]

It's okay. I-I just need one more try.

Don't forget to start with the nest.

Come on, hoops. Work with me!

I should be able
to just do the eagle move.

I'm a heroic bird too.

Okay, let’s take a break
and rest our wings.

[Summer sighs]

If Eagle can't teach me the eagle move,
then no one can.

I'm never going to be a hoop dancer.

But we have to be ready for DeeDee's show.

She's counting on us.

And we have to knock socks off feet.

You can do the show without me.
I'm not going. I quit.

Hey, Summer, I found your hoops
outside in the trash.

It took a little elbow grease to get
your dad’s huckleberry jam off of them,

but they are good as new.

[sighs] You can keep 'em. I tried
to be a hoop dancer, but I'm no good.

I'll never be a pro dancer like you.

-Well, did you practice?
-No.

Sometimes, you have to break things down
into small steps.

I have been practicing hoop dancing
for a long time.

Longer than you've been alive.

All you gotta do is break everything down

and try again and again and again.

'Cause that's what practice is.

I guess I did rush to the eagle move
without breaking it down.

Once you get the basics,
I know you'll get it.

It just takes a little time.

[hopeful music plays]

Thanks, DeeDee. I gotta go practice.
I'll see you at the hoop dance show.

[hopeful music continues]

Attagirl.

Summer, you're back.

We thought you quit for good.

[sniffs] I think
I've been hoop-dancing wrong.

My hoops never smell like huckleberry jam.

Well, I almost quit, but DeeDee helped me.

I just have to practice.

This DeeDee sounds like a pro hoop dancer.
For my move, let’s start with--

-Summer?
-Sorry, Eagle. I'm not ready yet.

Snake and Flower, will you teach me?

Yes.

Put the petal to the metal!

That’s the eagle spirit.

You got it!

-[Summer squeals]
-Great job.

DeeDee's gonna be so proud.

Now, if you really want to master my move,

stick around and I'll teach you
the ultimate eagle.

My hardest move.

A harder move?

I barely learned the last one.

We can do it, Spirit Rangers.
We just gotta practice.

Haku, everyone.

Prepare to be amazed.

Our dancers have been working hard
on a few hoop dance moves.

[traditional music plays]

[applause]

And finally, the ultimate eagle!

Wait. I didn’t tell you
about the ultimate eagle.

We practiced really hard. Trust me.

[uplifting music plays]

-Woo!
-Amazing!

-[cheering]
-[child] Oh, yeah!

Oh! How did you do that?

I told you. We practiced.

And maybe used a little spirit.

-Now, let's dance!
-[DeeDee laughs]

[DeeDee] You don't have to tell
these old hips twice.
