Trying to find a rope to haul Jack out of the mud, Kurt runs aimlessly around Chuck's farm.

If he'd thought about it, there was some rope in the Zoo truck. They use it for catching wayward animals.

Slipping & sliding, the zebra stumbles up out of the mud … unfortunately, each move pushes Jack further down in the mud!
—Sputtering exasperated comments toward the zebra, Jack finally yells: “Kurt, quit laughing & get me out of here!”

"Riding zebras was never recommended in our training class!", shouts Kurt, while trying to hold back the laughter.

Inserting the letter 'O'

"Ow!" said Jack, or burbled Jack with his face in the mud.

Quickly Jack lets go, but as the zebra stumbles, Jack slides off the zebra’s rump, landing in the mud
—As Jack slowly sits up, the zebra lands on top of him…flattening him face down in the mud(resuming from the 'P')

Plop! The zebra's hooves hit the mud with a resounding squishy sound and the zebra begins to lose it's balance, what with a strange man riding it's back and all.

Mucky puddle between the birch tree forest and the Zoo Crew truck. Looks like Jack is headed straight for it. Kurt quietly watches, then yells at Jack, "Look out for the mud!" Jack can't hear, they are moving so fast.

“Let’s get out of here while we can!” Kurt suggests
—“I’m WAY ahead of you!” Jack responds as he lassos the zebra & rides it back to the Zoo Crew truck
—“Wait! Don’t leave me here!” Kurt yells, running to catch up

Hiding in the same grove of birch trees was the wayward zebra! The vertical white trunks and deep shadows made for a natural camouflage for a zebra, but the Zoo Crew being in the shadows as well made spotting the zebra much easier!

Giddy with rage, Kurt and Jack look for the nearest tree to hide behind. Somehow, catching the Zebra was now a minor point.

Finally waking up, Chuck notices the rounded up Holsteins...

Entering through the gate, Kurt and Jack round up the spotted cows. Any farm person knows these are Holstein cattle.

Chuck continues his nap in the field.

Yardley is distracted by something and suddenly runs off towards the barn. Becky shuts the barn doors and traps the ornery critter inside.

Very carefully, Kurt aims the tranquilizer gun & fires at Yardley, the charging bull
—But he misses & hits Chuck instead
—“Ahhhhhh!!!” Chuck yells, yanking the tranquilizer dart out of his hip…

Riled to the max, Yardley charges the fence…He's determined to get Chuck
—Alarmed, Chuck backs away from the fence
—Yardley rams the fence again
—Chuck runs for the nearest large tree
—Yardley backs up for a good run, charges the fence & breaks through, shattering the boards, just as Chuck reaches the tree & starts to climb...

Quietly, Chuck sneaks up behind Yardley and shoots him in the hindquarters with his BB gun. Quite to everyone's surprise, it takes quite a few shots to get his attention! The bull runs towards Chuck, but luckily Chuck is on the other side of the fence. Quickly, both of the Zoo Crew guys race to safety.

Friskily; Kiki (the cat) trots up, pauses to look at the frustrated Zoo Crew, then she trots into the pasture & jumps up on Yardley’s back
—Yardley swings his head around to look the cat perched on his back
—Kiki peeks back at him & purrs
—Yardly calmly resumes grazing
—Kurt (from the Zoo Crew) stoops to pick up the toothpick that had dropped out of his mouth

—About 30 minutes later, Kurt turns around, “Jack!! He’s gone!”
—“What!!?” Jack yells as the truck screeches to a stop, “How did he get out? Where did he go? … Kurt, you did check to see if that crazy zebra was in the truck before we left, didn’t you???”

‘X’ is the shape of the zebra peeking around a leaning sapling, as he peeks back to see if anyone noticed his escape
—“Do you think we should tell the guys?” Becky asks
—“No.” Velma responds, “Let’s let them finish lunch in peace. They will need the energy to catch the zebra…again.”
—“Right! Plus it will give the zebra more time to hide!” Becky snickers
