”The Octonauts and the Giant Squid” is the second segment of the third episode of the first season of Octonauts.
Summary[]
A search for Professor Inkling's relative is a challenge as Irving the Giant Squid isn't too keen on being photographed.
Plot[]
Attack![]
Professor Inkling is with the Vegimals baking fish biscuits in the kitchen when suddenly he gets called to the HQ. He tells the Vegimals to take the biscuits out of the oven while he's gone. Once he gets to HQ, Barnacles and Kwazii report that they've found some underwater caves nearby. Suddenly, the Gup-A starts shaking and they realize they are being attacked. As they manage to escape, a creature squirts ink. They return to the Octopod.
Inkling's Cousin[]
As Tweak inspects the ink prints on the Gup, Inkling deduces that the marks were made by his cousin, Irving the giant squid. He has Dashi show them his family photos, until they reach the one with the giant squid, only to find that it's not a good picture. He explains that the octopus and squid are in the same family, that they both have arms with suckers that help them grasp objects and they squirt ink when scared. When Kwazii asks why Irving grabbed the Gup, Inkling suggests that he was probably asking for help. Inkling sounds the Octo-alert.
Family Reunion[]
Barnacles, Kwazii, Peso, and Inkling climb into the Gup and Tunip gives them a bunch of baskets full of fish biscuits. When they depart, Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso search the nearby caves looking for the giant squid while Inkling stays in the gup. Irving shows up near the Gup and Inkling feeds him a basket of fish biscuits. Irving recognizes his cousin and explains that he grabbed the Gup because he thought it was food. He has the other three give him the baskets. They all, including Irving, return to the Octopod and Dashi takes another photo of Inkling and Irving.

Creature Report Lyrics (Giant Squid)[]
- Giant squids have great big eyes
- They grow to an enormous size
- When a giant squid's afraid
- It squirts out ink and swims away
- Their eight long arms are quite a sight
- The suckers underneath help them hold on tight
