One Last Job

Synopsis
Jake Jr. gets mixed up with some bad eggs and Jake has to reunite with his old gang for one last job to save her.

Plot
The episode starts off with Jake sitting in the boat at the top of the Tree House and saying how the male birds are so much nicer than the females and the females are all plain. A bird flies up to him and tells him that the female birds are beautiful on the inside. He says he has a special delivery for Jake, it is a tape that says 'Watch now, URGENT'.

Jake goes into the tree house, and gets BMO to play the tape. He sees a person being held hostage and wonders what he is watching. The bag is taken off the person's head, and Jake Jr struggles to try to get free. Jake gasps and becomes enraged. The mystery man tells Jake that he/she knows about Jake's criminal past, and that he has to get his old gang back together to steal the purest form of sugar; The Baker's Shard.
