Bristlepaw and Rosepetal decide to bring the yellow tom to ThunderClan's camp to treat him. They spot a yellow tom struggling in the freezing lake water, and Bristlepaw rushes to save him. Suddenly, Rosepetal yowls that something is wrong in Sk圜lan territory. Bristlepaw is out hunting with her mentor, Rosepetal, and she is determined to prove herself to her crush Stemleaf.

They dodge, and Rootpaw who is unable to slow down, plunges right into the lake. Rootpaw realizes that they are trying to make him react, however, he loses his temper and charges toward Kitepaw and Turtlepaw.

Rootpaw is embarrassed of his father Tree and his odd behavior, such as scaring Wrenkit that the spirits of her dead siblings are watching her, and Rootpaw hopes that his Clanmates will stop treating him weirdly because of his kin.
