Summary[]
Peso and Shellington meet a lemon shark named Lemmy who got lost on his way to his lagoon. He had a bruise on his nose, which prevented him from knowing which way to go. The Octonauts take the lemon shark to the Octopod to help fix his nose, and in return, Lemmy rescues Peso and an injured sea star from a cave with hot lava under the sea floor.
Plot[]
As he joins Shellington in marveling at some nearby coral growths, Peso has a lemon shark bump into him. The shark apologizes before swimming off, but it doesn't take long before it bumps into a rock. As they exchange greetings, the shark, Lemmy, admits he's lost and trying to find his way home, though he is only now having problems finding his way back. Shellington and Peso quickly deduce his nose sensors are too bruised from him bumping into things to work properly, causing him to get lost. Lemmy is quick to accept their help in treating his injuries, though Shellington and Peso have to pull him out of a coral formation before they reach the sickbay.
Aboard the Octopod, Peso wastes no time in treating Lemmy's injuries, though he still needs to rest and wait before his nose can heal completely. Although he is allowed to wait outside, Lemmy quickly gets bored of just staying in one spot, and he swims off to explore once Peso goes to file a report. Sure enough, Peso notices his absence and the other Octonauts quickly find him swimming wildly due to his injuries, prompting an Octo-Alert and for Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso to pursue in the Gup-A. Passing multiple creatures, the three eventually find Lemmy stranded on shore, lifting him back into deeper water. Following this, Lemmy agrees to wait inside the Octopod, though Peso pleads for him to stay inside until he heals.
A while later, Tweak greets Lemmy in the Launch Bay as Peso comes by to check in, eventually deciding that Lemmy's nose has healed completely. Shellington later calls in for Peso, reporting an injured sea star in an underwater cave. Peso removes Lemmy's bandages and promises to take him home right after helping the starfish before leaving.
As Peso arrives, Shellington takes him to the starfish, though just after Peso bandages him up the cave floor starts erupting in hot bubbles and steam. Peso ends up trapped, prompting Shellington to raise the alarm. Barnacles and Kwazii depart after letting Lemmy in on the situation, and the shark is quick to follow, wanting to repay the favor. As everyone reaches Peso, they all agree on letting Lemmy outrace the bubbles and steam. Fortunately, Lemmy manages to save both Peso and the starfish.
Once they exit the cave, Peso gives his thanks before the entire group goes off to Lemmy's lagoon. Upon arrival, Peso gives Lemmy a goodbye sticker, which the lemon shark accepts on his nose.

Trivia[]
- Aside from the general changes in voices and dialogue between dubs (not least of which being Lemmy's lines being altered to feature more surfer dialect), the US dub has Lemmy and the other sharks in his lagoon greet each other upon arrival. In the UK dub, this portion of the episode is left silent aside from sound effects and music.
