Bigfoot disappears while investigating the Xtract company at night. After hearing a distant rumble near their facility, he sneaks closer to get a better look, but is captured by Xtract guards working for CEO Connor Mandrake. This sets the entire rescue plot in motion as his family travels to Alaska to find him.

Arlo Woodstock was actually working for Xtract all along. He posed as a protester to get close to Bigfoot and gather intelligence for the company. When Bigfoot got too close to discovering Xtract's illegal operations, Mandrake ordered Woodstock to capture him. Woodstock later traps Adam in the underground mines as part of Xtract's plan to silence them.

When Mandrake activates a backup bomb that cannot be switched off, Bigfoot physically grabs the device and throws it high into the air. The explosion happens mid-air away from the valley, creating a massive signal blast that also disrupts Xtract's drones. This sacrifice stops the immediate threat and gives police time to arrive.

Adam sneaks into the Xtract facility and records CEO Connor Mandrake explaining his plan to use a massive bomb to speed up oil extraction, which would devastate the valley.

After Xtract guards tranquilize Wilbur and Trapper, Adam encounters a lone wolf in the wilderness. Though initially threatening, the wolf seems to recognize Adam as an ally rather than a threat.
