In the first episode, the Octonauts gather dry wood to prevent fires and make mulch. Octo-agent Min encounters a squirrel in a snagged tree. A bear named Atif rubs against the tree and shakes it. The squirrel scolds the bear, and Min warns him to stop, but he ignores her. Min activates the Octo-alert on her watch. The captain tries to reason with the bear, who remains unresponsive. The Octonauts relocate the tree where the bear can’t reach it. As they move it across a bridge, the bear pursues them, and the bridge collapses. Working together, the Octonauts secure the tree in a safe location and create a mulch pile for Atif
Later, Pearl notices rising sea levels and becomes concerned about the albatross’s building nests on the beach. More birds arrive, prompting the Octonauts to call for help. They spot an approaching storm threatening to flood the atoll, so they rush to construct a sand barrier. Kwazii yells as he steps on another shell, causing mice to emerge and threaten the albatross eggs. Despite the danger, the birds refuse to leave, and the sand barrier is washed away by the storm. They decide to build a stronger barrier with oyster shells. The Octonauts find another island for the birds, rescue a bird egg and guide the birds to a new nesting site.
In Episode Two, Paani observes the parched land and notices animals fleeing in fear from a menacing creature. The creature is a honey badger named Debbie, who refuses to share the watering hole. Debbie is rude and demanding. The Octonauts intervene only to discover Debbie is limping. A penguin offers to bandage her paw, but she tries to strike him. Eventually, Debbie and the Octonauts agree to compete to dig a new watering hole, with Debbie emerging as the winner.
Later, while hiking, Periwinkle encounters pikas stranded on an island in a rising river swollen by melted glaciers. Periwinkle summons the Octonauts, to rescue the pikas. During the rescue, the machine loses balance and inadvertently crushes the pikas’ food, and they squabble over it. The Octonauts identify a pink algae-covered glacier as the root of the issue. They introduce ice worms to consume the algae and stop the glacier from melting.
