The group dismisses Charlie’s idea to get Kong to help them defeat the Sea Monster. Charlie wants to bait the ape with a necklace he’s obsessed with. He’s desperate; he doesn’t want his best friend, Mike, to die. Mike’s health is deteriorating rapidly.

Who helps Charlie on his mission to bait Kong?

Annie decides to join Charlie on his mission, accompanied by Dog. Charlie’s father wishes him luck. Annie and Charlie travel to Kong’s lair. The towering Kong looms over them. They grab Kong’s favorite necklace and storm off on Dog, baiting Kong to chase them.

Charlie’s plan seemingly pays off as Kong is taken to near the sea. However, the others notice Charlie no longer rides with Annie and Dog.
