Episode 11: RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
With the one year milestone for the Orangutan Island community looming, the orphans have made real progress in most of their forest skills but for one. A surprising number are not living in the treetops, which is vital for their survival from predators, especially at night. To confirm her suspicions, Lone secretly visits the island at night to spy on the orangutans to see who is sleeping where, and what she discovers propels her into a risky plan. But will it succeed? Meanwhile, Hamlet escapes back to Palas Island, leaving a gaping leadership void. Will Chen Chen take up the mantle of dominant male or will chaos ensue on the island?

Episode 12: WHO RULES?
Lone's risky plan to encourage the orphaned orangutans to spend more time in the treetops has a fatal flaw. But she isn't going to be discouraged and works on a new solution. At the same time, the island is simmering with tension over who will fill the leadership void until the unexpected return of Hamlet. But his reappearance doesn't immediately resolve the issue as another showdown begins. Hamlet also didn't return alone but brought with him another older male orangutan from Palas Island who could be a danger to the younger group on Orangutan Island. Meanwhile, Mogok and his pals find another protein source...wasps!

Episode 13: MANY HAPPY RETURNS
In honor of the one year anniversary of Orangutan Island, Lone pays the orphans a visit and has some special moments with Chen Chen and Cha Cha. There is also a big surprise in store with Donald returning after his long illness. Will the community embrace him or shun him? Will Chen Chen remember his childhood buddy and help him matriculate back into the society or will he abandon Donald? It's not just Donald's future that is in doubt but the social stability of the island with the immature, bullying Reno in control since his defeat of Hamlet. Hamlet has returned to his new girlfriend Papau but will that be enough? Or will he decide to challenge Reno and rule the island again? The stakes go beyond the individual orangutans, it goes to the heart of the future of Orangutan Island.
