Suspended from school for beating up Niker, Robert has lost the coat of feathers and maybe his chance to save Edith Sorrel's life. Fortunately Kate comes to the rescue – she brings back the coat and even helps him get more feathers. Robert still needs more feathers for the coat but he knows the only place to find enough good ones is at the old warehouse where he was locked in and abandoned by Niker and his gang. Can Robert overcome his fear and collect enough feathers to finish the coat? And even if he does, will he be in time to save his Firebird?
