Tom‘s (Jeremy Shada) discovery of some Tidal Dragons comes in handy when an out of control forest fire threatens the area. After chastising him for hiding things from the rest of the riders, Alex (Aimee Garcia) figures out a way to lead the dragons to the fire and help put it out before it reaches ICARIS. The smoke helps hide the dragons for the most part, but although the group manages to stop the fire their activity doesn’t go completely unnoticed. Along with the new dragons, “Downpour” also introduces a potential new adversary for the riders in the irresponsible Buzzsaw (Haley Joel Osment) who started the fire but blames the mysterious lightning bird he sees in the smoky aftermath for his own misfortune.

“Dragons of the Undead” is all about getting the shyest member of Dragon Club some confidence as Alex (Aimee Garcia) is forced to step-up after her dragon Feathers is kidnapped by what the kids mistake for a crowd of zombie dragons. The truth to the dragons turns out to be far different that what appearance may suggest. The look of the dragons works, even if that means we get stuck with D’Angelo (Marcus Scribner) thinking he might be turning into a zombie in what becomes the episode’s running gag. Thanks to Alex’s quick thinking, Feathers is saved, and their work together helps uncover the true nature of the strange dragons.

While the episode introduces a new dragon which gives the episode its title, “Magma Breather” is primarily about Tom (Jeremy Shada) attempting to prevent his mother, and her new rival, from uncovering the dragon cave while exploring the area for mineral deposits. With Tom attempting to stall his mother, the rest of Dragon Club kinda, sorta, (but not really) works to collapse the entrance into the larger club while really just getting miffed at D’Angelo‘s (Marcus Scribner) attempts to take command of them in Tom’s absence. While tempted to tell his mother the truth, the secret remains safely hidden for another episode.

Dragons: The Nine Realms kicks off its Second Season with the discovery of a Bubblehorn dragon which June immediately falls for and breaks a cardinal rule of Dragon Club by taking the little troublemaker back with her. Despite its cuteness, Nibbles turns out to a pain for everyone causing chaos that somehow doesn’t alert any of the adults and damage that can’t easily be explained. The episode is notable for the introduction of June’s less trustworthy older brother Eugene (Vincent Tong) who is suspicious of June’s behavior but has not yet stumbled upon the secret of the dragons.
