Fire! Wind! Water! Making friends with penguins! I just watched the intro to the show. Earth guy makes a pillar of rock rise from the ground to destroy a jeep! Fire guy melts tarmac to stop a stolen armoured truck! Water girl creates a water spout to rescue dolphins! Wind girl captures bad guys with a tornado! Heart boy... well, he's trapped in a forest fire with some monkeys. He uses the heart ring to call the other guys to help him. Kind of like you would with a cellphone, I guess. Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Making friends with penguins!

Heart-guy got some nearby penguins to sympathize and peck their rings out of the ice for them. So, Heart saved the day. That day. What a crappy story.

But Heart? What can he do? Be friends with people? That is so lame.
