Synopsis
The recruits celebrate a rescue well done, naming Hoist as the hero of the hour for being mostly responsible for their success. Boulder says they have another mission, but spots that Hoist's right arm has been damaged. Hoist claims he's fine and able to help the others round up the missing sheep, despite his winch malfunctioning as he demonstrates. Boulder okays it, and the recruits go to round up the sheep. Medix recalls that humans use dogs to round up sheep, and volunteers to be the dog. When this course of action doesn't work, Hot Shot instead comes up with the idea of building a pen out of rocks and herding the sheep into it. Unfortunately Hoist's malfunctioning arm startles the sheep, which stampede. Boulder calls Hoist back to the academy where the young recruit is put in a stasis pod, however he changes the timer to five minutes, believing it to be all he needs.
Boulder sets the other recruits to search for the sheep. Hoist, meanwhile, emerges from his tube and returns to the field where he attempts to help Medix capture a sheep. This results in him ending up suspended from a tree by his own winches, and he furthermore manages to release two captured sheep when he falls. He returns to base to go back into his stasis pod, but again fiddles with the timer, assuming that he can subtract the five minutes he's already spent in it. The other recruits manage to corral all but one of the sheep. Hoist again heads to the rescue site, and even though his arm and then his leg malfunction, his confidence isn't shaken. When he joins in rounding up the last sheep, he again malfunctions, involuntarily transforming and busting open the makeshift pen before trapping himself against a tree.
Hoist returns to his stasis pod once again, this time emerging fully repaired. The rest of the recruits stagger in, looking like the sheep won. As there's still a single sheep loose and the other four need to spend some time in their own stasis pods, Hoist heads out to round up the straggler.
