At Chimp Eden, Eugene is waiting for the results of blood tests on the 2 young chimps that he's been forced to leave in Angola. But life at the sanctuary is not running smoothly either. Sally is proving tough to integrate with the other chimps.
Eugene takes his life in his hands to go into Chimp Eden's kindergarten, which is where all the baby chimps are placed in the custody of 43-yr old Jao. He acts like a grandfather to the babies but is potentially dangerous when Eugene enters the enclosure.
Josephine's introduction into the adult group has everyone at the sanctuary on edge. The last female introduction to the adult enclosure was violent and brutal. This one could be worse.
Rescued from a decade spent in tiny cages in Angola, Mimi, Lika and Gida are about to taste freedom for the first time. And, Eugene soon enjoys the fruits of his efforts as the girls will have open spaces, sunshine and trees to climb.
Jao faces a challenge for leadership of the family from the #2 male, Zac. Jao is wiser and more experienced - Zac is younger, bigger and stronger. A showdown is inevitable.
It's a trial by fire for Jinga as she joins a group of 3 big males and 3 females. After some abuse by the males, Jinga manages to escape twice and Eugene must ask himself: Does he try again or accept that Jinga may never be integrated into the group?
Eugene's off on a mission to Sudan to rescue five orphaned baby chimps. But this mission is different. The stakes are much higher for Eugene. His wife, Natasha, is seven months pregnant.
Back in Sudan at the safe house, Eugene is given a warm welcome by the seven baby chimps and receives the good news that his plane is arriving the next day. But this means Eugene must finally decide which of the seven babies he must leave behind.
There's a problem at Chimp Eden and his name is Cozi. Cozi is the sanctuary's Jekyll and Hyde chimp - lovable and funny one minute, aggressive and hostile the next.
It's an important day at Chimp Eden. The five baby chimps that Eugene recently rescued from the Sudan have completed their time in quarantine and are ready to join the other chimps in the infant enclosure.
Josephine escapes from the adult enclosure, but fortunately stays nearby and takes refuge in the volunteers break room. A minute-by-minute chronicle of her latest adventure, as recounted by Eugene, Phillip and cameraman Willem van Heerden.
The facility is filled to overflowing with 10 new chimps. This is Chimp Eden's newest family group and they represent a perfect opportunity for Eugene to continue his hands on rehabilitation.
Jao's family is moved to the old adult enclosure, which offers more room to explore - and more chances for trouble. How will Jao and the others react to their new surroundings?
The new family leaves quarantine and is released into the now empty infant enclosure. It's the day Eugene has been waiting for since Jao rejected him several months ago.
Eugene's hands on work with the new family group begins in earnest. In many ways, he is as much a chimp as the newcomers, who have only known captivity.
It's moving day at Chimp Eden. 4 year old Tony and 7 year old Sampa, who were rescued from Angola, are ready to leave quarantine and start the integration process with the other chimps.
