Outside the Shiba House...

Emily: Jayden!

Jayden: Did you find him?

Kevin: We wish.

Mike: It's like the guy just disappeared from the face of the earth.

Jayden: Where could he be that we can't find him?

Kevin: He has to be somewhere. Think of all of his favorite places.

Emily: The harbor?

Kevin: We all searched there. Think of someplace else.

Mike: Kevin, that's where he is the most.

Kevin: Well, he can't have just disappeared.

Jayden: What did your elements say?

Kevin: He was near a river a few minutes ago. I checked there, but I couldn't find him.

Mike: He traveled through a forest at some point, but I was too late.

Emily: I don't think he's even on the ground. I would definitely know if he was, but the Earth can't feel him.

Jayden: I came here hoping he would've returned, but...

Mike: I say we think about it after some rest.

Emily: I second that.

They walk inside.

Kevin: Come on, Jayden. We'll find him.

Jayden: ... I hope you're right.

They continue inside.

Inside the Shiba House...

Mentor-Ji: I've been expecting you, Rangers.

Emily: Uh oh.

Kevin: Mentor... we...

Mentor-Ji: Have some explaining to do, yes.

Mike: Man!

Jayden: ...

Mentor-Ji: So, who wants to go first?

Jayden, Kevin, Mike & Emily: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mentor-Ji: So, let me get this straight. You were spying on Antonio and Mia?

Mike: Not spying... just... watching.

Kevin: Watching?

Mike: Not as bad as spying.

Emily: Mentor, we're really sorry.

Jayden: We know what we did was wrong.

Mentor-Ji: I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. Antonio's left us and Mia's left to go clear her head.

Emily: Is she really that angry?

Mentor-Ji: Wouldn't you be if someone was watching you kissing someone?

They all turn to her, Mike being especially eager to hear her answer.

Emily: Can we just... get back to Mia please?

Jayden, Kevin & Mike: ...

Mentor-Ji: You all know that trust is required for a team to remain a team. Have I not taught you that?

Jayden: You have.

Kevin: We've all had our moments when we couldn't trust someone.

Emily: And our moments when others couldn't trust us.

Mike: Has she stopped trusting us?

Mentor-Ji: Knowing Mia, I highly doubt it, but that still doesn't change the fact that what you did was wrong.

Jayden: What about Antonio? Has he...?

Mentor-Ji: I wouldn't know. He hasn't returned.

Jayden, Kevin, Mike and Emily sigh.

Emily: We have to find him. We can't leave him hating us.

Mike: What if he doesn't want us to find him?

Kevin: He hasn't made finding him easy.

Jayden: Even if he doesn't wanna see us again, we still have to tell him we're sorry.

Emily: And Mia.

Kevin: Well then, what are we sitting around for?

Mike: With any luck, she's probably run into him.

Jayden: That should make things easier. Let's go!

Kevin, Mike and Emily: Right!

They stand and head towards the door. They then turn back.

Jayden: Again, Mentor, we're really sorry.

Mentor-Ji: I told you, I'm not the one you should be apologizing to.

They nod and set out.

Mentor-Ji: ...
