Throughout the episode, we also see the trio engaging in their usual banter and playful arguments. However, we also see their deep friendship and loyalty to each other as they work together to overcome each challenge they face.

As the day draws to a close, the trio finally manages to help someone successfully when they assist in rescuing a group of people who are stranded on a hill due to a broken-down van. This act of kindness and bravery is the perfect end to a day of misadventures and mishaps.
