After noticing their presence, they decide to take a break, Mommy and Daddy Shark are going to give Baby some fantastic news, while Grandma and Grandpa Shark will leave them alone and Baby prefers that William also hears the news. Then, Mommy Shark announces that she received a call from Stariana and she offers her to be the Chomp City's new entertainment director of and it's absolute happiness for the whole family since it's an opportunity to go to hundreds of massive events in the city, and as the first massive event to be presented, it is nothing more nor less than a new annual edition of the Chomptacular, so Baby and William are excited about it since it's the most famous annual concert in the city and the best stars will come to perform (and for best, ENHYPEN will be there this edition), but suddenly she says that to have her new job, she must move to the city and for Baby to go with her while Daddy Shark also accompanies them, making the two of them sad because it means that they must separate and it is not enough for them to be visiting or blackmailing each other and to make matters worse, William is just two days away from his birthday.
