Brothers
Vinka is sick. She needs rest and food. While the rest of the Kids set up camp Hudson, Samara and Keile go on ahead. They enter an old town, deserted except for two brothers who haven’t spoken for years. The Kids tell them about Vinka and the brothers agree she needs some of their roo tail stew, but they can’t make it, because that’s what they argued about. Hudson tricks them into making it, and the brothers make up. The Kids take the stew back to Vinka and it works, but when they return to the town they find the brothers gone, but one of the special stones in their place.

Episode 10
The Thalu
The Kids now have all eight special stones, and Hudson is convinced he has the key. The Kids encounter the Nannas, who tell them that if they are to win everything is going to need to be in its right place. The Kids arrive at the Thalu – eight standing stones in a circle around a central stone. The kids realise they have to place the special stones on the matching standing stone. With the stones in place Hudson places his key on the central stone – but nothing happens. Vinka steps forward – she is the key! She climbs up onto the central stone and starts to sing, summoning a giant tornado that sweeps across the land, into the Cloud, destroying it and revealing the Takers. The Kids have won! ‘What do we do now?’ asks Samara. ‘We go home’ says Vinka.
