When the bear den is threatened to be torn down to make way for a cell phone tower, the bears must not only fight back, but find proof they've lived there for at least five years in order to claim the land as their own.
Tropes:
- Community-Threatening Construction: The cell tower being built on top of the bear's den.
- Flashback B-Plot: While the bears try to find a way to save their home in the present, flashbacks to their original search for a home five years ago are prompted by various objects in their home in the present.
- Follow the White Rabbit: The bears chase a raccoon that stole their dreamcatcher, which leads them to the cave that will become their den.
- Funny Background Event: While Grizz and Panda look for evidence of them living in the den for five years, Ice Bear can be seen outside the window trying to stall the construction crew.
- Genre Deconstruction: For all their anthropomorphism, the bears still wound up living in a cave because the Bay Area housing market gives no mercy.
- It Came from the Fridge: In the second apartment the bears look at, Ice Bear peeks inside the fridge and sees something breathing inside.
- It Came from the Sink: In the same apartment, Panda sees a rat come out of the showerhead.
- Mistaken for Quake: Grizz mistakes the arrival of the construction crew for one.
- Performance Anxiety: Panda gets stage fright when the interviewer mentions the thousands of viewers watching him.
Panda: Um...
Reporter: Sir?
Panda: (blushing, trailing off) We are just... trying to save our home...
Reporter: Excuse me?
Panda: (blushing intensifies) (silence)
- Shout-Out:
- Through a Face Full of Fur: An extreme example when Panda not only blushes, but has his entire head turn red when he realizes that he's being interviewed on TV.
