   S1:E3410/11/2001

   Clayton's sister kidnaps Jane, Tantor, Terk, and the Professor, placing each in a separate, deadly peril.

He, therefore, has a choice—to suffer as she had and lose those he loves, or as Clayton had and lose his own life.

    S1:E159/19/2001

    Doctor Robin Doyle returns to the jungle with her nephew Ian, a bookish child with few friends who spends his time collecting butterflies.

Lacking any other experience, Tarzan fills the day with activities he enjoyed as a child, and it's not long before the boy has discarded his formal trappings for a loincloth. None of this sits quite well with Jane, who worries about the dangers of a small child swinging recklessly from tree to tree—and what the good doctor will say when she finds out.
