Oh yeah, we go way back.

Looks like Mark moved his ragtag group to the ranger station and turned Salty, Sour, and Joe over to the proper authorities (though I don't know how much I trust them.  I mean, of the trio of nefarious ne'erdowells, two were wearing blue hats, and now the rangers are wearing blue hats, so...I'm just saying, it's suspicious).  I hope that he's also getting some medical attention for Pop, unless the old guy has just been playing possum because he didn't want to have to do anything anymore.  That seems like something that Shelly would try to pull, but maybe there's a game on later and he wants to make sure that he's back at the cabin before it starts (that, and he set out to find Mark and he did, sort of.  He didn't say anything about finding Rabbit or anyone else). 

Oh Mark, again with the smuggling angle?  I'm sorry, but I really have to question just how Mark knows that Salty, Sour, and Joe are smugglers.  (And now they've become drug smugglers?)  Nothing about that boat gave me any indication that they were smuggling anything, but hey, maybe if I had been there personally I would have noticed the strange white powder on the deck and the drug-laced ropes.  If you ask me, I'd say that the Herons were behind it.  The Avians obviously saw that Salty and Sour were doomed to failure and planted drugs and other paraphernalia on the ship so that they'd really have to pay for not getting rid of Mark.  (Let this be a lesson to all of the other Avian underlings: do not betray the Empire because you can't take a bird to court, and you just sound crazy when you start blaming your troubles on the chickadees and herons.)

Now that the three troublemakers are headed for the pokey, Mark can go after Rabbit.  This means that it's time for another disguise, and it looks like Mark has decided to go undercover as the Ultimate Warrior.  (I'm not sure that's the best disguise for moving around the swamp unnoticed, but I'm sure that Mark knows what he's doing...mostly.)  I guess he just doesn't completely trust the rangers to pick up Rabbit like they say they will.  Maybe he thinks that they're in on this whole thing too since they haven't stopped his activities yet.  (Maybe he's right.  Maybe he's wrong.  We'll see.)
