• Johanna takes the bear down to the pier, straps a life jacket onto it, and teaches it to fish. David quips that fishing is more a test of patience than an adventure. They are able to catch a fish, which freaks Johanna out, and she throws it back into the water. The trio then set out on a boating adventure, leaving the production crew to film them from the pier. She throws the bear into the lake to let it swim, and it starts floating downstream faster than she expected. She struggles to pull the bear back into the boat using an oar, and then brings the bear into the sauna on the lake shore. Johanna earns 1 point.
• Sussie initially attaches the bear to the flagpole on the front lawn, to show the bear a view of the Drottningholm Royal Palace that’s just across the lake from the house. She then gets the idea to actually take the bear there. David, Sussie, and the bear are then seen sneaking around the Baroque Garden, in a scene which is shot and acted out like a spy movie. They all speak faux-German to each other to blend in with the German tourists, and pretend to hide from the guards. They then pretend the Palace Church is the King’s personal bedroom, and knock on the door before running away. Sussie earns 4 points.
• Marcus declares his intention to send a bear to space for the first time, much like the Russians did to a dog. He dresses the bear in a makeshift space suit made of red overalls and a fish bowl as a helmet, and brings it in a wheelchair to an open field. He inflates balloons with helium, but accidentally lets go of several that float into the sky. After attaching about three dozen balloons, he attempts to launch the first test flight, but the bear doesn’t move. Marcus then undresses the bear to reduce its weight, but it still doesn’t budge. He then slices the bear open to remove its padding, calling his manoeuvre a “gastric bypass”. It still doesn’t work, so he cuts the bear’s head off with a scissor, and its head on its own turns out to be light enough for the balloons to lift off. However, it only manages to fly for about 5 seconds before getting stuck in the only tree in the field. Marcus runs to grab a ladder and a pole, and eventually manages to get the balloons loose from the tree. He scores 2 points, as only part of the bear had gone on an adventure.
• Anis calls various services, trying to grant the bear access to the cockpit of an aircraft. Several of the people he calls are sceptical. He eventually manages to get someone to agree, and rents a private jet and a helicopter (both stationary) for the bear. Anis and David pretend to be pilots, talking in nonsense English code words and numbers. Anis earns 3 points, and he’s very disappointed.
• Sofia calls various services, entertaining various ideas such as taking the bear to a public swimming pool, or to play a game of padel tennis. She eventually gets a go-ahead from a bowling alley and a VR simulator that are close by. The bear wins the game of bowling against both Sofia and David. The three of them then play a VR game, with the bear strapped to Sofia’s arms but wearing its own headset. Babben characterises their adventure as a great hen-do, and awards Sofia 5 points.
