The Octopod is attacked by a colossal squid, who drags the ship down an abyssal trench. Captain Barnacles and Kwazii are forced to make a perilous swim outside to confront the gigantic beast.

Summary[]

Attack![]

The Octonauts are traveling through the deep ocean inside the octopod, when Captain Barnacles, Shellington, and Dashi notice some bright lights outside the Octopod's window and are curious as to what they are. Barnacles tells Dashi to dim the lights so they can get a better look at them. They move the Octopod closer to the lights when suddenly something bangs the Octopod. They try to move away but to no avail, as something starts shaking the ship around. The shaking causes Professor Inkling to drop many books in the library, Kwazii to be almost hit by a spinning telescope, Peso to bandage a snot sea cucumber with too many bandages and the Vegimals' kitchen items to slide around! When the lights are turned back on, they see the little lights are around a gigantic eye belonging to some kind of squid! Despite the Octonauts' requests for it to leave them, it refuses to let the Octopod go and starts to play with it instead. Dashi sounds the Octo Alert and all the Octonauts arrive in the HQ.

The plan to escape[]

Shellington informs the others that the creature is a colossal squid, the biggest squid in the ocean. It stops shaking the Octopod but then starts to squeeze it, which could cause some serious damage. Captain Barnacles decides the Octonauts should fight it back and asks for help from Tweak. She gets an invention that should help, a Tentacle Suit. Professor Inkling wears it and is now able to control the arms of the Octopod as if they were his own tentacles! He successfully manages to wrestle off some of the colossal squid's tentacles, but must hurry before the squid's hooks attach too deeply to the ship, which are extremely difficult to detach. Inkling is just about to fully get loose from the squid, but it suddenly squirts a large ink cloud so they can't see where its tentacles are. At that moment, it fully hooks its tentacles to the Octopod, and starts dragging the ship down to the bottom of the ocean!

Operation: Remove Hooks[]

Barnacles and Kwazii put on their deep sea suits and go outside the Octopod and try to remove the hooks from the ship. This is a tedious job as the squid has many tentacles. The captain is almost crushed by one but Kwazii moves him away just in time. As they move near the front of the Octopod, they receive an urgent call from Dashi and Shellington, who inform them that something is heading straight towards them, a pod of sperm whales who would love to eat the colossal squid. The Squid gets scared and tries to swim away, but he can't move fast enough because of being stuck to the Octopod. The Octonauts realize that the sperm whales might take a bite out of the ship as well as the squid, so they get ready to save the colossal squid and the Octopod from harm. Captain Barnacles tells them to prepare every GUP for launch.

The Octonauts escape The Sperm Whales[]

All the gups are deployed with one octonaut in each, connected to the Octopod, and ready to move it and the squid away from the sperm whales, who are fast approaching. They all swim away from the whales, who are chasing them through the ocean. They go upwards and downwards, trying to lose the sperm whales, who are not giving up. Meanwhile, in the Octopod, things are still hectic with all the moving around. Peso says the sperm whales are still after them, but Shellington tells him that they breathe air, so they'll have to go up to breathe soon. This ends up happening, and the colossal squid and Octonauts escape!

Vegimals in trouble[]

The colossal squid thanks the Octonauts for rescuing him and apologizes for his behavior earlier. Barnacles offers to help him remove his tentacles from the Octopod, but the squid refuses, saying he'll do it himself. The Octonauts are doubtful of this, and as the colossal squid is trying hard to break free, he eventually does get one of his tentacles free, but ends up pulling off one of the Octopod's tentacle arms, the garden pod, which starts drifting and sinking away. Peso then notices that Tunip and the other Vegimals are inside the pod, and are in danger now! The Octonauts in the Gups dive to try and save the garden pod, but cannot see it very well due to the darkness. Amazingly, the colossal squid is able to see it due to his excellent eyesight in the dark (he has the biggest eyes in the ocean). He guides the Octonauts towards it and then grabs it with his one free tentacle, saving the garden pod and the Vegimals. They all go up, now that everyone is safe.

The colossal squid is free![]

The colossal squid finally agrees to let the Octonauts help get his tentacles loose from the octopod. Professor Inkling, using the Tentacle Suit, carefully moves the parts of the Octopod to help the squid get free. The other Octonauts help as well and soon the colossal squid is free. Now they just need to reattach the Garden pod to the Octopod. Tweak guides the squid so he can return the garden pod to the spot where it belongs, and he successfully reattaches it! The Professor uses the Tentacle Suit to do a tentacle bump (fist bump) with the colossal squid, and the episode ends.
