Kwazii notices that it is the same turtle he encountered earlier, and picks it up. He apologises to the turtle, but it ungraciously says that there are "a lot of not-turtles on this beach". This works for a while, but the light of the sun bounces off of Captain Barnacles's Octo-Compass, sending a turtle off course. Grouber, Barrot, Tomminnow, and Codish get lots of fish biscuits from the Gup-X, and the Octonauts use them to distract the gulls. Barnacles says that it's up to them to make sure the turtles survive the journey to the water. But suddenly eight seagulls start hungrily circling the baby sea turtles. He moves some sand so it is easier for the turtle to come out, but it indignantly tells him to put it back as it doesn't need his help. As the Octonauts gaze at the newborn turtles in delight, Kwazii notices a turtle hatching from the egg Grouber found earlier. Kwazii looks disappointed at the idea of once again waiting for the eggs to hatch, but Dashi tells him that they won't have to wait long - the eggs are already hatching! But Shellington points out that turtle eggs normally hatch at night when there are less predators and that the beach must be colder which is causing the babies to thinks it's nighttime. However, none of them realize that a group of seagulls has been watching them. The vegimals help too, with their skills of sand burying. Tweak, from the Gup-H, sends him a picture of one that looks perfect, and they all head towards it.Ī montage follows of the Octonauts building new sand nests for the eggs, and carefully burying them. Looking at the washed-up beach, Shellington says that the eggs are still not safe and they must find a new beach for them, fast. After quickly placing it in the container, he and the rest of the crew run for cover in the Gup-X, and the wave hits them with full force (Kwazii enjoys this). Tweak and Tunip arrive in the Gup-H, and take the containers away from the beach, but suddenly Grouber notices one egg, with pink markings, had been left behind. The Octonauts then load the eggs into the containers, with the tidal wave approaching fast. Now on the beach, Shellington warns the others that when placing the eggs in containers, they must be careful as they are extremely delicate. He leaves with Barnacles, Kwazii, Peso, Dashi, and the Vegimals in the Gup-X, while Tweak and Tunip take the Gup-H. Shellington says that once they retrieve the eggs from the beach, they will need to move them to a new one. Captain Barnacles tells Dashi to sound the Octo-Alert, and the Octonauts all run to the launch bay. Professor Inkling adds that sea turtle eggs are extremely sensitive, so if they get too wet, they won't hatch at all. Dashi tells them it's the wave tracker: a giant tidal wave is heading straight for the beach where the eggs are! Shellington, in a panic, says that the eggs will definitely be washed away. But suddenly the screen makes a beeping sound, waking everyone up. The eggs have still not hatched and all the Octonauts have fallen asleep. The others exclaim in dismay, but Captain Barnacles tells them to have patience, as the wait will be worth it. Kwazii then points out that nothing is happening, so Shellington tells him that he's not exactly sure when the eggs will hatch, and it could be any time from a few more minutes to a few more days. Tunip asks how the eggs got there, so he explains that the mother turtles laid the eggs in the sand, eight weeks ago, and they will be hatching any minute now. He excitedly tells the others that the video will be live footage of baby sea turtles hatching on a beach. One evening, Shellington has arranged for all of the Octonauts to watch a video.
