Meanwhile, Aviva worries that the brothers might not survive the night, but Koki and Jimmy re-assure her that Chris and Martin know what they are doing. But the Koala bear makes Martin and Chris’s survival in the desert even harder when he accidentally destroys their precious food and water, endangering all their lives.
