Aired on November 12, 2012

To address rising rivalries among nations competing in Blue Flag, officials overseeing the Prominence project organize a wilderness backpacking excursion for the Eishi. During their journey to the destination, the group encounters a bear in the wild. The situation takes an unexpected turn when it is revealed that the bear is actually a hot spring. This event occurs as part of the efforts to manage international tensions within the competition framework. The trip serves as a strategic move by the higher-ups to handle the increasing conflicts between the participating countries. The encounter with the animal leads to a surprising discovery that changes the nature of the wilderness experience for the participants involved in the project.
