Citizen Tabes[2] is the 21th episode of the third season of We Bare Bears and the 73rd episode overall.
Synopsis
After Ranger Tabes accidentally wounds an animal and quits her job, the Bears do what they can to get her to return to work.
Plot
The episode begins with Ranger Tabes checking on all the wildlife in the forest, the Bears accompanying her. They soon notice a pair of deer beginning to mate. A pair of beavers near them are gnawing down a tree, which soon begins to fall down on the deer. The female deer leaps out of the way, but the male deer is staying still. Ranger Tabes dives in to save him before it falls. Unfortunately, it results in one of his antlers breaking off, and the female deer to leave him. Ranger Tabes, feeling guilty about "destroying the balance of nature", leaves to think about her actions.
