Plot[]
The Missing Remora[]
The episode begins with Peso removing a bandage from Nora the remora's sucker. He has Nora test it out to see if it works on his helmet, but she gets stuck. As Peso attempts to remove the fish in distress, Nora gets unstuck but gets stuck to a sailfish, who swims away with her. Peso doesn't know where she is, so he returns to the Octopod and Barnacles sounds the Octo-alert.
Harry the Harbor Seal[]
When Peso reveals he has no clues as to where Nora is, Tweak suggests that Barnacles use the new feature. As he does, a harbor seal called Harry picks up a signal and arrives to the Octopod; along the way, he picks up one of Peso's bandage strings and deduces that they're looking for a fish. Shellington explains that harbour seals use their whiskers to detect ripples in the water and track them for 100 miles. Harry has Peso take him to the last place they saw Nora. Barnacles and Kwazii come along.
The Search[]
Peso takes Harry to the place where Nora vanished, and he picks up ripples that seem to be caused by a big and little fish. Harry tracks them, but doesn't find Nora; instead he finds a shark and cleaning wrasse. The shark chases Harry when he disturbs him with questions. The cleaning wrasse helps the shark calm down. Harry picks up ripples from another big and little fish and finds a hole in the sand made by the big fish. Along the way, as Harry tries to go to the surface for a quick breath, he and Peso get shocked by some snapping shrimp. Barnacles and Kwazii take Harry and Peso to the surface before diving back down. They find Nora attached to the sailfish, and they manage to rescue her.
Seal You Later[]
Peso takes Nora back to the Octopod and puts a bandage on her hurt sucker then tells her to stay in the sick bay for a few days to heal. Hence, Harry claims the case is closed, and they say goodbye to him as he says, "Seal you later!"
