The animals tell him that Kate is heading to the airport, so Griffin heads out to stop her, stopping at Shane's first to punish him for hurting Bernie. He then goes to the zoo, apologizing to Bernie who he sees has been beaten by Shane. When Stephanie proposes he refuses, dumping her when he realizes that she doesn't truly love him as an individual and that their relationship was all conditional to her. Griffin becomes a star employee at the car dealership but misses working at the zoo. Kate decides to leave the zoo and accepts a job in Nairobi. As he leaves, Griffin warns Shane not to hurt Bernie. This upsets Kate, and also Bernie, who tells him that Griffin quitting proves that he can't trust humans. Stephanie convinces Griffin to quit his job and he accepts Dave's job offer. Stephanie asks him out to dinner and after they go to a fashion show. Griffin successively grabs Stephanie's attention by first showing off with Kate, then standing up to Gale. Joe's mate Janet ( Cher) tells Griffin that the best way to attract a female is to be seen with another female, so Griffin asks Kate to go with him to Dave and Robin's wedding. Griffin discovers that Stephanie is dating another ex-boyfriend, a bully named Gale ( Joe Rogan). Bernie tells Griffin that Shane fell when he was abusing him, but lied, saying that Bernie attacked him. Griffin then has a talk with Bernie ( Nick Nolte), a forlorn Western lowland gorilla who has spent years in a deep enclosure after allegedly attacking a zookeeper named Shane ( Donnie Wahlberg). He learns their different mating rituals, ending up humiliating himself at a party in front of the other zookeepers and the guests.

The next day, Donald lets Joe out, who confronts Stephanie and Dave's fiancée Robin (Steffiana de la Cruz). Donald, the tufted capuchin ( Adam Sandler), suggests that they make Griffin look like a hero when Stephanie is at the zoo tomorrow. Jerome the brown bear ( Jon Favreau) suggests they teach Griffin their mating techniques, but Joe the lion ( Sylvester Stallone) protests, reminding them that it's against the animal code to talk to humans.
