impressions: This 30-minute episode is part 5 of the current story arc and is the first one in a while with subtitles (which help the viewer better understand what's going on and why.) It's explained that heavy rain all night has washed out the bridge to the house, and she's worried. She's also got the monkey cradled against her chest, and although sleeping, he's got himself a handful of Wild Boob. She says that the monkey had a rough night due to being worried, and that the dog is shaking and might be cold. Me, personally, I'd say it looks like he's asleep on his feet there. But the real issue here is that the stream is rising and the house is not built to withstand that, and indeed it soon begins to flood and fall apart. Wild Beauty does some inspecting, declares the house unsafe, and gets the hell out of there. She soon encounters knee-high rapids, and has to carry the dog through those. They eventually make it to dry land and then a big natural cave with fresh water, which is good because the monkey is said to be thirsty. Wild Beauty does have to make a water-trap to catch the falling drops...and while waiting for water to collect, she cleans up the area. This includes making a floor out of stones, knocking some other rock out of the way, and setting up a bed. After a while, she uses some of the collected water to quench everyone's thirst...and then decides that she needs a bath. Fortunately, there's a pond nearby that's custom-shaped for this purpose. Later, she heads to "a different forest" and hopes to find food there, or else they'll starve. That food turns out to be a large rat which she spots digging a hole...and that's the end of the rat's days of digging holes (or doing anything else) as she kills it off-screen and sets about cleaning and prepping the body for dinner. This, folks, is why she's "Wild Beauty" and not just "Beauty." By the way, she chews with her mouth open as she eats the rat meat. The dog gets fed some and then the monkey steals the piece out of the dog's mouth! What a clever little bastard! After meal time, it's bed time, and lights out for this episode.

acting: There's no acting; this is a woman (and her dog and monkey) doing stuff in the wilderness.
final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
