"The Great Escape" is the twenty-first and final episode in Season 2 of Bunk'd and forty-second overall. It first aired on May 24, 2017 to 0.99 million viewers.
Overview
After Xander and Emma learn that Griff and Zuri have developed feelings for one another, they try to keep them apart, thinking that they are a bad influence on each other. The two had enough and snuck out, Xander, Emma and Lou went searching for them, believing that they went to a Country Music Festival. Halfway through the search, they got lost in the woods, causing the trio to return back to the camp, only to discover that Griff and Zuri never left the camp and that they were only having a picnic by the lake. Hearing what Griff and Zuri said about not wanting to get either of them in trouble, Xander and Emma decided to let them be together.
Meanwhile, Ravi gets lost in the woods with Tiffany and Jorge while they are on their wildlife hike and end up hiking across the US-Canadian borderlines and must now try to convince the border patrol guards to let them back into the US (despite them not having Canadian citizenship which would force the guards to call immigration services and have them deported back to America aka the US).
