Baloo suddenly arrives at the scene and attempts to scare Shanti away only to be caught in the vines and get punched in the nose by the girl. Mowgli intervenes and chastises Baloo for scaring his friend. Shanti, confused, points out that he was attacking them, but the confused bear recalls Mowgli being the one who told him to do so, much to Shanti and Ranjan's surprise. Mowgli regrettably admits that he did in fact plan this, which breaks Shanti's heart and feeling disappointed and on the verge of tears, she runs off with Ranjan in a tow, finding it difficult to forgive the boy and refusing to listen to Mowgli's attempts to explain himself. Baloo confronts Mowgli about his indecisiveness and reiterates his statement that Shanti is nothing but trouble. Mowgli denies his claim and goes after Shanti and Ranjan to apologize.
