The Road Rulers continue their South Africa adventure with an unusual mission that requires them to learn ancient healing techniques. Laterrian and Theo refuse to participate in the mission when they find out that they must sacrifice a goat, symbolizing communication with their ancestors. Kathryn, Holly, James, and Msaada take part in a ritualistic tribal dance followed by the slaughtering of an ox while Laterrian and Theo enjoy a visit to a scenic waterfall. The next part of the mission lets the Road Rulers predict the fortunes of the tribe members by ""the reading of the bones"". After the mission is over Laterrian and Theo defend their decision to not participate to their fellow teammates.
