Later that morning Tarzana makes her way to the beach. She hadn't slept at all since discovering the truth. She camp straight from the treehouse to the beach. Once she arrives at the beach, Tarzana meets with her friends. They greet her cheerfully.

John and Porter: Tarzana!

John: How was your journey down here?

Tarzana: It was ok.

She responds slight exhaustion in her voice. John perks up at her tone, confused, He then questions her.

John: Are you alright? It doesn't seem like you slept well last night.

Tarzana: I'm ok. Up late. I didn't sleep.

John: I am sorry to hear that.

Tarzana: It's ok.

John: Come along Tarzana. Let me show you to the boat.

Tarzana nods in agreement. Porter hops into the boat taking a seat beside Clayton. John holds his hand out to Tarzana to help her get in. She gratefully takes his hand and gets in the boat. Once they all have board the lifeboat, Clayton starts rowing to the ship.

Just as they make it further out to see, Terk and Tantor run to the beach to see Tarzana off. Sadly they come too late. Terk and Tantor shout out in sorrow.

Tantor: Tarzana!

Terk: We're too late! I can't believe it! If you'd have pulled over and asked for directions...

She shouts at Tantor hurt. He sits on the beach sad.

Tantor: We didn't get to say goodbye.

Terk: Yeah, well, good riddance! Alright? Who needs you? (She throws some seaweed in anger.) Huh go ahead, get out of here, bald girl! You ingrate! You bald ingrate! Who needs a cousin like you! (She starts throwing small rocks into the ocean.) Go on and rot, for all I care! (She then spots a huge rock that she picks up and throws.) Go! (She sits by Tantor as tears come to her eyes, she then notices Tantor looking at her comfortingly.) What are you looking at?

Tantor: I'm gonna miss her too.

Terk lets a lone tear fall. She then kicks Tantor's foot out of the way in frustration before heading back into the jungle. Tantor sighs in despair.

The lifeboat makes it to the ship in the middle of the water. One of the crew members throws down a ladder for them to come up. John starts talking in rapid succession excited to have his potential partner coming back to England with him.

John: Tarzana, you can't imagine what's in store for you. You're going to see the world. Everyone's going to want to meet you. (Porter goes to the ladder and starts to climb it.) Kings, scientists and famous writers.

Porter stops to talk back to Tarzana.

Porter: Yes, Reinke and Heath. Queen Victoria. They all love to hear about your adaptation to jungle life.

John: I haven't met her, but I heard she's awfully nice. She'll absolutely love to meet you.

John says with pride in his voice. Porter continues to climb up the ladder. Tarzana then speaks softly to John looking at him adoringly.
