After seeing a wolf in the distance and tracks on the shore, the crew head inland in search of more clues to the wolf's whereabouts. They encounter a familiar bear family on their way and decide to follow them to a local fishing spot where a large number of bears have gathered.

As the end of their expedition draws near, salmon and bear activity begins to decline, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some bears still lingering around the area. Casey and his crew wander the tidal flats and interior of Katmai and find the bones of a humpback whale that washed ashore.
