Oliver’s desperate attempt to retrieve it sends them tumbling and catapulted into space. Darren perfects the tower, but Oliver’s crash destroys it. As the final dung ball rolls toward a cliff, Darren saves Oliver instead of his work. Bella storms off furious, yet Oliver shares his sandwich with Darren.
