The episode begins with the team receiving a call from a frantic homeowner, who claims that he's spotted multiple cobras in his kitchen. The man's house is located on the outskirts of Durban, and as the team arrives at the scene, they quickly realize that they're in for a treacherous task.
Simon and Siouxsie have dealt with cobras before, but this situation is particularly challenging as the kitchen is a small, confined space with several potential hiding spots for the snakes.

After several tense moments, the team successfully captures all of the cobras in the kitchen. However, their work isn't quite done yet. Simon and Siouxsie must now relocate the snakes to a safe location far away from the city, which proves to be another challenging task.
During the relocation process, the team explains the importance of preserving the snake population, even if it means relocating them from urban areas. They also showcase the beautiful surroundings of Durban, highlighting the importance of protecting the natural beauty of the city for generations to come.
