Rites of Passage

Overview

A wounded black bear has been roaming the park, posing a serious threat by attacking tourists. Determined to address the danger, Jayne and Loretta set out on a mission to locate the animal and safely tranquilize it. Simultaneously, Troy and Greg embark on their own quest, this time seeking horse trainer Phil Cox, who is believed to have stolen a racehorse and taken it deep into the park. In another part of the area, Josh and his cousin Gavin decide to hike toward an old mission building. Their trek through the wilderness brings them face-to-face with surprising challenges: a wolf crosses their path, followed by an encounter with Phil Cox himself, and later with Freddie Pinter, the owner of the stolen racehorse. The situation takes a dangerous turn when Pinter threatens the boys at gunpoint, only for the tension to shift dramatically when he is bitten by a rattlesnake. Despite the threat he posed, Josh and Gavin demonstrate courage and compassion, stepping in to save his life.
