In this children's podcast, Bear King meets Slogadu, the magical and mystical man of the mountain, who witnessed the arrival of the four friends into Wonderland. Slogadu has an idea of how they could find their way home, but it’ll be a difficult journey. Meanwhile, back home in the Real World, Wander the Wizard meets with Bear Queen and Sacejis the Wise. Although they’re worried about the four friends, they’re sure that Bear King will take good care of them. Wander the Wizard isn’t sure his magic powers are strong enough and Bear Queen isn’t sure her love for Bear King can overcome this challenging situation. But Sacejis the Wise has a suggestion for all of them to join hands and bring their collective powers together to telepathically connect with Bear King and Bobo Chico.

Back in Wonderland, Slogadu greets the four friends, and when they all hold hands, they feel the loving presence of their family and friends back home!

The four friends find themselves in the enchanted castle of Clumenji, the Wizard of the Desert. Situated among the colorful rocky cliffs, El Castillo Encantado has wonderful pools with slides. As the brothers awake, they learn from Bobo Chico that it’s his birthday! A day of revelry ensues, at Bobo Chico’s birthday party they all meet a special friend, Gary the Dragon, who lives under Clumenji’s pool. At the same time, back home in Portland, Bear Queen, Lair Bear, and Gabarret the Squirrel want to celebrate Bobo Chico’s birthday, too. Bear Queen comes up with a unique way to connect with Bobo Chico, even though he’s off in Wonderland far, far, away!

Previously, the Pirate Map revealed the secret passageway back to home, friends and family. Excited to return, Bobo Chico sings a song “When I Get Home” about all the little things he’s going to enjoy. The pathway leads to the Great River of Wonderland. On the far shore, they see the door guarding the tunnel through the mountain. That's the way to the ‘other world’ that keeps Wonderland safe from the ‘others’. The four friends must get across the rushing river. But when Bear King urges them to join him on a large log, Bobo Chico isn’t convinced that strategy will work. He turns to Loar and Roen for advice. The brothers scour the area and Roen finds a Chock-full o'Nuts coffee can perched on a pedestal! Puzzled, he gives it a little shake. A swirling cloud reveals Rufus Goofus, Wizard 2nd Class who is eager to meet Bear King because the King of Bears has magical powers. But when Bear King explains that his powers are greatly limited in Wonderland, Rufus Goofus becomes determined to help with half-baked ideas. Disheartened, Bear King and Bobo Chico turn to Loar and Roen. Loar has a brainstorm, remembering the big swing set back home at the Mt. Tabor playground in SE Portland. With Rufus Goofus’s help, they make a rope swing to carry them one-by-one across the river.

When they all safely reach the other side of the river, they wave goodbye to Rufus Goofus (now Wizard 1st Class). Bear King turns to Loar and Roen. “Sometimes the greatest magic happens between your ears!” Bobo Chico looks on in amazement and asks, “Huh? What’s between your ears Bear King?” Smiling at his young otter friend, he says one word. "Imagination!”

Heading away from Clumenji and the Wizard of the Desert’s wonderful El Castillo Encantado, the four friends merrily follow the pathway toward the Great River of Wonderland. They paddle down the river in a Dragon Boat, enter a great canyon, and marvel at its rugged beauty. After an exciting journey through the rapids, they take a midday break. The brothers and Bear King enjoy a well-deserved nap, but Bobo Chico is too curious to sleep and goes in search of food. While picking some fruit, he’s startled and scared by a curious coyote and he twists his ankle. However, Bobo Chico learns that the coyote is also scared of his shadow. In spite of his own injury, Bobo Chico naturally wants to help the coyote. And when the coyote sees that Bobo Chico is friendly and hurt, he introduces himself as ‘Kyle’. Bobo Chico can help Kyle overcome his fear, but he’s going to need help getting back to the Dragon Boat. Kyle races to the boat and convinces Bear King to come and help Bobo Chico. Bobo Chico, in turn, asks Bear King to help Kyle with his problem, which he does by making up a song about self-awareness and friendship. As the full moon comes up over the hills, they all hear the howls of coyotes and see a solitary figure framed by the moonlight. Kyle is now one of the pack amongst his friends.
