When the guilt of breaking a deer's antler causes her to quit, the Bears work to get Tabes back into nature and back on the job.


Tropes:

  • 10-Minute Retirement: Tabes feels so guilty about injuring a deer she was trying to save, she quits being a park ranger.
  • Cat Up a Tree: The bears strand Panda up a tree so Tabes can rescue him. Unfortunately, Tabes sees right through their ploy, and Panda is instead saved by a pair of "overly-friendly hikers".
  • Crying Wolf: Panda goes to warn Tabes about the stag attacking the deer whose antler she broke, and begs her that he's serious that there's trouble for once.
  • Diving Save: Tabes pushes a deer out of the way of a falling tree. Unfortunately, she accidentally breaks off one of his antlers doing so, which sends her into a Heroic BSoD.
  • Don't Make Me Destroy You: Tabes when she confronts the stag, stating that even though she vowed not to harm another creature, she will still defend her friends.
  • Given Name Reveal: Turns out Tabes is a surname. Her first name is revealed to be Dana.
    Grizzly: (confused) Tabes isn't her first name?
  • Lethal Chef: After quitting her job as a park ranger, one of the hobbies Tabes takes up is baking. Judging by the burnt cookies she offers the bears, she's not very good at it.
  • Minor Injury Overreaction: And Tabes isn't even the injured one. Accidentally breaking off a deer's antler sends her into a spiral of depression.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Tabes says this after she saves the deer, but breaks one of his antlers in the process.
  • Shout-Out: The scene with Tabes triumphantly standing on a rock after she returns to being a park ranger is a riff on The Lion King (1994).
    • The skinny, sensitive buck fighting the meaner, muscular buck (who Grizzly labels a homewrecker) over his lady love also recalls Bambi.
  • [Verb] This!: When Ice Bear takes on the stag, Grizzly quips "Defeat this!"
