Plot[]
Tom tells his mother about Thunder and is happy to be able to share what he's learn with her. However, Olivia asks Tom to take her down to the hidden world that night. She warns Tom she is going down there with or without him and he will not go into the Hidden World unless she determines it's safe. She then heads off to work. The other riders panic when they learn Olivia will be touring the hidden world, and they know there is no way she will think it is safe enough for them. Tom explains he has a plan to trick his mom into thinking the Hidden World is safe by collecting the most docile, friendly dragons they can find and place them of prearranged route like a guided zoo tour. The dragon club begin gathering dragons they befriended from multiple realms they have visited and Eugene adds a new dragon he finds, an evolved Scuttleclaw, that seems friendly. Jun and D'Angelo protest since they know nothing about the dragon but are interrupted by an alert that Tom and Olivia are coming. After they leave, the Scuttleclaw begins agitating the other dragons with a high-pitched roar.
Tom begins taking Olivia on the tour and starts with a flight through the fissure that amazes her. He then brings her into the crystal realm, where he begins introducing her to the many dragons they've seen, and it seems like the plan is working. However, D'Angelo discovers the agitated dragons and asks Tom to call the tour off. Tom refuses, as he almost has Olivia convinced the hidden world is safe and asks D'Angelo to handle it without Olivia knowing. After continuing the tour and seeing how docile the dragon's dragons are, Olivia almost gives her seal of approval, but then hears noises of dragons in distress. Eugene and D'Angelo struggle to calm down the agitated dragons and can't figure out what's upsetting them. Things get worse when the dragons start fighting.
Olivia discovers the fighting dragons, and the situation gets more chaotic by the second. Tom is forced to admit he planned the tour to make Olivia think the hidden world was safe and believes that mixing the dragons from different realms together is what's causing the fighting. However, D'Angelo realizes that the Scuttleclaw's roaring is what's causing the agitation, because while the roar is too high pitched for humans to hear, the dragons can hear it and it's angering them. Seeing that Feathers is immune to the call, Tom comes up with a plan to have Feathers use her sonic roar to drown out the Scuttleclaw's roaring and return the dragons to normal. They calm the rest of the dragons and muzzle the Scuttleclaw with Webmaster's webs before returning all the dragons to their respective homes. Olivia asks to be taken back to the Dragon's Lair, where everyone braces for her to tell them they can't return to the hidden world. However, Olivia admits that while she believes the hidden realm isn't as safe as she hoped, she is impressed with their bond with their dragons. She decides she won't keep them from the hidden world as long as they don't keep secrets from her anymore, but the happy moment is cut short when Olivia reveals she plans on telling the other's parents.
