In the episode "Where's Zuri?" of the television series "Jessie" season 5, the Ross family finds themselves in a panic upon realizing that their youngest member, Zuri, is missing. The episode begins with the family returning from a day of skiing to discover that Zuri is nowhere to be found. After searching the house, the family begins to worry that she may have wandered off and gotten lost in the nearby woods.
Jessie, the family's nanny, takes charge of the search and coordinates with the local authorities and search and rescue teams to help find Zuri. Meanwhile, the rest of the family each reflect on their individual relationships with Zuri and what she means to them. Emma, Zuri's older sister, remembers how much she relies on Zuri for emotional support, while Luke, their brother, regrets not spending more time with her. Ravi, their adopted brother, worries that he hasn't been a good enough big brother to Zuri.
As the search for Zuri intensifies, Jessie comes up with a plan to use Zuri's love of fairy tales to help track her down. Jessie crafts a storybook featuring Zuri as the heroine, and distributes it to local residents in the hopes that someone may have seen Zuri on her own adventure. The plan seems to work, as a local resident reports having seen a young girl matching Zuri's description in the nearby woods.
With a new lead in hand, Jessie and the family set off into the woods to find Zuri. Along the way, they encounter a number of challenges including rough terrain, dangerous wildlife, and a sudden snowstorm. But with their determination and love for Zuri driving them forward, they press on.
Finally, they come across a cabin in the woods, and they believe that Zuri may be inside. Jessie bravely enters the cabin, only to find that it's empty. However, Zuri's storybook is sitting on the table, with a note from Zuri explaining that she had gone on her own adventure inspired by the book.
The family is relieved to know that Zuri is safe and sound, and they reunite with her back at home. They apologize for not paying more attention to her, and promise to make it up to her by spending more time together as a family. In the end, the family comes together to celebrate their love for each other and for Zuri, and they all learn an important lesson about the importance of family and the value of spending time together.
