In Monticello, Florida, Derrick visits the Juniper Wildlife Rescue, run by Zach and Jess, to help a fox named Fig. Fig was born with a missing foot but used the shortened leg like a crutch. Unfortunately, a break in the leg required partial amputation and now it's too short to be used as a support, and remaining ankle is collapsing. Fig is Derrick's first fox, so he must study the other foxes at the sanctuary to gauge the correct angles for the brace he'll build to help the remaining leg. When fitted, Fig panics at first, but quickly adapts to the brace.
