(Kwazii and Shellington check out a coral reef near the Octopod.)
Shellington: This little reef is only a few years old, but it's already full of life.
Kwazii: Aye, this reef is busy, even if it's not very big.
???: Hey, it's big enough!
Kwazii: Who said that?
???: I'm right here!
Kwazii: Show yourself!
Anton: Oh hoho, here I am. I'm a frogfish, the name's Anton.
Kwazii: Oh! You look so much like the reef I didn't see ya there, matey.
Anton: That is ze idea; I'm camouflaged, which means I blend in vith vat's around me. It keeps me safe from bigger fish, who want to eat me, like zose sharks!
Kwazii & Shellington: Sharks?
Anton: Everybody hide!
(Everyone in the reef begins to hide from the two sharks.)
Shark 1: Hmm, I thought I smelled food.
Shark 2: Let's head to a bigger reef.
(Everyone comes back out.)
Anton: See vat I mean?
Kwazii: Hahaha! You fooled them, matey!
Shellington: Fascinating! These other fish can't blend in like the frogfish, but the reef has lots of places for them to hide.
Cyan fish: Zis reef keeps us and all our friends safe.
Anton: It is our home sveet home!
Tweak: Woah! Look out!
(Kwazii and Shellington turn around, seeing her having trouble.)
Tweak: Woo! Sorry about that. I fixed the pedals, now the Gup-F's steering isn't working right.
Kwazii: Aye, and as soon as you fix the steering, something else will break.
Tweak: I know, but she's the first gup I ever built, so I can't give up on her. Maybe if I pedal a little faster. Yup, that's good.
(The Gup-F begins to spin.)
Tweak: WOOOAAAHH! Oh, that's bad.
(The Gup-F crashes onto the sea floor.)
Kwazii: Tweak, matey! Are you alright?
Tweak: Yup... but now I gotta fix the steering, the pedal, the rudder, the top, the bottom...
Kwazii: Ah, is there anything on the Gup-F that doesn't need fixing?
Tweak: The seats are still comfy. (falls off)

Dashi: Captain, the storm tracker shows that there's a hurricane on the way.
Barnacles: Octopod to Kwazii, Shellington and Tweak. There's a hurricane heading your way.
Dashi: And it's moving fast.
Barnacles: Take cover in the gups, there's not enough time to return to the Octopod.
Kwazii: Aye aye, captain. We'll ride out the storm in the Gup-C.
Barnacles: Very good. Barnacles out.
Kwazii: There's a hurricane about to hit, matey.
Anton: Storm coming! Oh hoho, everyone take cover!
(Everyone in the reef begins to hide again as the hurricane arrives. Meanwhile, Tweak is still in the Gup-F.)
Tweak: (gets blown away) Woah!
Kwazii: Tweak!
Tweak: I gotta go back for the Gup-F!
Kwazii: There's no time, matey!
(They quickly get in the Gup-C. The hurricane is very strong, tearing the reef apart and causing Kwazii and Tweak to slide back and forth. Eventually the storm has stopped, for now.)
Barnacles: Kwazii? Tweak? Shellington? Are you all alright?
Kwazii: Aye, captain. The Gup-C took a pound but she's still in one piece.
Tweak: Wish I could say the same about the Gup-F.
Kwazii & Shellington: (gasp) The reef!
(The three Octonauts swim back to the now destroyed reef, where the residing fish mourn the tragic sight.)
Shellington: Jumping Jellyfish! There's nothing left!
Kwazii: Where's Anton? (swims closer to see a panicked Anton)
Kwazii: Ahoy, matey. Glad I found you.
Anton: Oh hoho, I'm not! I mean, if I'm zat easy to see, zen I'm not camouflaged! How vill I hide from ze sharks?
Cyan fish: (sees their hiding spot ruined) Ve can't hide either!
Kwazii: Hmm, I see what you mean.
Kwazii: Captain, the coral reef's been destroyed, and these fishies need a new place to live. We have to do something.
Barnacles: Agreed. Dashi, sound the Octo-Alert.
Dashi: (sounds the Octo-Alert)
Barnacles: Octonauts, to the launch bay!
[Octo-Alert sequence starts]
Dashi: (rushes off after sounding the alert)
Peso: (packs up his medical bag before rushing off as well)
Barnacles: (slides down the shoot)
Inkling: (stops reading and slowly rushes off)
[Octo-Alert sequence ends]
Barnacles: Octonauts, the reef dwellers need our help. Their home was destroyed by the hurricane, and now they have no shelter or protection.
Kwazii: Maybe we could move all the fish to another reef.
Dashi: There may not be enough time to move them before the second part of the hurricane hits.
Peso: Second part?
Dashi: A hurricane starts with strong winds and waves that stir up the ocean. Then there's calm like it is now, but that's because we're in the quiet center of the storm, known as 'the eye'. After the eye passes, it's followed by winds and waves even stronger than the first ones.
Kwazii: But the fishies will never survive that without a reef.
Barnacles: Hmm, what if we build them a new reef?
Inkling: Ah, you're talking about making an artificial reef, captain.
Tunip: Datan artificial reefa?
Inkling: An artificial reef can be made out of anything, a sunken ship or even an old train carriage.
Shellington: Algae, sponges, coral and plants attach themselves to it, and that attracts fish who make it their home.
Peso: But what could we use to make an artificial reef?
Tweak: Well, the truth is that the Gup-F isn't much of a gup anymore.
Tunip: (disappointed noises)
Tweak: But I reckon it'd make a great artificial reef!
Tunip: Cheepa cheepa!
Barnacles: Great idea, Tweak. But we'll have to work fast.
Shellington: The first step, we should cover the Gup-F with algae and coral, captain.
Tweak: Using lots of sticky olympic glue.
Barnacles: Octonauts, let's do this!
