Octo-Alert[]
In this episode the Octo-Alert was sounded by Shellington due to a Cone Snail being on board.
Trivia[]
- This is the second time a character other than Captain Barnacles steers the Octopod. The first was Kwazii in The Amazon Adventure.
- This is the first episode where Shellington sounds the Octo-Alert.
- Moral: Trust yourself.
Errors[]
- Once again, Shellington incorrectly states that a cone snail's sting is poisonous. The correct word to refer to the cone snail is venomous as Kwazii was not poisoned by simply touching it.
- Another is that cone snail venom is lethal and time and rest cannot prevent its spread.
- When Peso says to "Don't worry, taking care of people is what I do" to Captain Barnacles, Tweak disappears form the bed next to Shellington.
