On the day of the octopus, this entire bay fills with thousands of octopuses.

Whoa.

And the whole Rock Island celebrates with a big festival.

But why do they only come every five years, Uncle Charlie?

No one knows, Taylor.

It's a mystery.

You know what?

The next time they appear, you can help me figure it out.

I can help you solve a mystery?

You promise?

I promise.

Happy Day of the Octopus!

Are you ready?

I've been ready for five years.

Happy Day of the Octopus here on Rock Island FM.

The weekend huge storm has made way for the perfect day for the celebration.

Can't wait to see you all at tonight's concert.

You need to rehearse the dance for the concert tonight. And finish costumes.

I'm on it.

Hey, little crackin'.

You're visiting just at the right time.

Morning, Mum. Hey, Sonny. Morning.

Have the octopuses arrived yet?

They weren't any when I looked first thing, but they should be here now.

Check the bay cam.

Celebrate the big day. It was a sucker for some syrup.

There's no sign of any.

I thought conditions were perfect. They are.

The current's travelling directly past the island.

The marine surveillance system isn't picking them up either.

Where could they be?

I have no idea.

We don't even understand why they appear every five years.

What's this mean?

Isn't it going to come today?

Has this ever happened before?

Not that we know of.

It could be my laptop.

It's been playing up the past few days.

Maybe that storm over the weekend could have confused them.

Maybe they're just being fashionably late.

The concert doesn't start till sundown.

Yeah, and the cameras don't cover everywhere.

Lila, keep prepping. I'll figure out what's happened.

For the first time ever, our octopus are late for their own festival. But make

sure you're not late for tonight's show. In the meantime, keep an eye out for

our eight -legged guest and call in if you see any.

Where are you, octopus?

See anything, Taylor?

I checked the rock pools and all along the bay.

No luck. There's no reports of any sightings on the island.

I've lived through many days of the octopus, but they've never not arrived

now. What about the concert?

Too late to cancel, or we won't have the guests of honour.

But how am I supposed to solve the mystery of why they turn up here without

them?

I guess some things just remain unknown.

Uncle Charlie always wanted to understand the octopus.

And this whole festival won't work without them.

So we're going to find where they've gone.

Sure, because oceans are so small and easy to search.

Uncle Charlie never missed a day of the octopus.

What if he's with them right now?

Wherever they are.

Did you know where they came from?

Not that I can see.

Alice, what do you know about octopuses? They have three hearts, blue blood, and

they are all out to get me.

I have an idea where they might be.

After the storm, Dad took me out to West Bay to go diving.

When we resurfaced, our boat had drifted all the way to Stingray Cove.

But there was no current.

Maybe it's the weird tide thing caused by the storm?

It's worth checking.

Let's get going.

Alice, what did you do?

Nothing, I think.

It is normally me.

Maybe I did.

No, it's not me. Look at the compass!

The plane is alive!

Or not.

Was that some weird battery thing?

Compasses don't operate on batteries. Only a seriously strong magnetic surge

could cause that kind of reaction.

Could a magnetic surge from the storm have affected your boat or the octopus?

The boat? Sure, but what do octopuses and magnets have in common?

If an octopus's tentacle is severed, it still moves around with a mind of its

own.

Magnets have north and south poles and can negate each other.

They literally have nothing in common.

Maybe we'll find something at Stingray Cove.

Nori, we should take your scuba gear.

You can't go. The concert's all we have left of the festival and there's so much

to do.

I want the dance to work too, but I need to follow this lead.

Well, I need collaborators to execute our vision.

What if I stood in for Taylor?

I hate octopuses and I'm not going anywhere called Stingray Cove.

Plus, I've got moves.

I could go octopus hunting with Taylor.

Use Nori.

He has to try rewesting Rick Hovis.

Can you help?

Please? It's just until I get back. But... But...

Fine.

But be back before the concert. I wouldn't miss it. Break a leg. Have fun.

Okay, team. If you warm up, exercise this to get us in the...

So. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Could be a climate change thing.

Welcome to Stingray... Cove?

The general store?

This isn't Stingray Cove. You won't find octopuses here.

Unless they've come for milk.

Stingray Cove is on the north coast.

We're at the south.

How did we end up here?

I must have taken a wrong turn.

Where are you going? Back to the park.

But we came from that way.

Yep.

Just testing your paying attention.

Uh -huh.

Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Step

together. Step, fold, change, and skip. Ow!

Sorry.

Once more, shall we?

First position.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Me shall break a leg is a saying, not an instruction. Your dance moves make no

sense.

Again!

Five, six, seven, eight.

It happened again, didn't it?

You're lost.

Just looks different to how I remembered.

What is it?

The spot where we are keeps changing. Maybe it's another magnetic surge or

something else. Well, whatever it is, this map is useless.

But I know this is the way to sting that curve.

But what if it's not just the phone that's being affected?

I'm not affected.

Could you just try something for me?

Can you, um, turn around clockwise?

We aren't rehearsing your dance moves out here. I've got my moves down.

Can you just try it, please?

That was anti -clockwise.

I made a mistake. It happens.

Hold up your right hand.

That's left.

But it was your right.

The octopuses have gone missing. The Bermuda Queen's navigation dials went

You got lost.

The GPS isn't working.

What if it's all connected somehow?

Whatever is messing with those things is messing with us too? I don't get messed

with. Not normally, but everything to do with directions is off.

So maybe we should go the opposite way to what you think is the right way.

Ella said magnetic fields have opposite poles.

Maybe the island's magnetic fields are somehow reversed and affecting

everything? Then why aren't you affected? I probably am, but I'm not the

directing us. I'm sure this is the way to Stingray Cove. Then I'm sure we go

other way this time.

Fine. Just to prove you wrong.

This hard drive is brand new, but it's toast.

No. No, I'm not a sack of potatoes.

Potatoes are easier to work with. I heard that.

Honey, has that octopus ever tried to attack anyone?

Ow, Misha. It's just I hear they have paralyzing saliva, and I tend to react

badly to those sort of things.

You know, I don't think she's paralyzed anyone with her saliva recently.

Why do you ask?

Dance rehearsals are over.

We're working on costumes instead.

Would you look at that?

Stingray code.

You were right.

I always am.

No octopus though.

So much for that theory.

So what now?

And please don't say go back and help Lola with costumes.

I want indie princess meets red carpet glamour with down -to -earth charm.

For an octopus costume.

Stop talking.

More stitching.

The pus was darting all over the place. Then it was right up in my face and it

tried to get me.

We can't give up just yet.

Nori?

Nori!

It was like it was being dragged by a force.

He's sleeping.

Your arcturus phobia has gone next level.

But I'm telling the truth. You can't sit these on.

Stand still, will you?

Now!

I said, stand still!

I'm not a pincushion.

I'm out.

Fine! I was doing everything myself anyway.

Taylor,

where are you?

Over here!

Hey, Taylor.

What are you doing?

I don't know. Something yanked me and now I'm stuck here.

Seriously? Then why can't I move?

On three.

One, two, three.

I'm stuck here forever. Try unclipping your tank.

Oh.

What? Now, that is strange.

We can't leave my tank here.

Little help. Try levering it with this.

Nori!

I'm fine.

That was unexpected.

What just happened?

This isn't a normal rock.

Give me a tank.

I want to try something.

I think these rocks are magnetic.

It feels different.

Kind of cold.

Maybe this is a type of lodestone.

A what now?

A lodestone.

It's a magnetized stone. It's believed they're made by lightning bolts.

So my tank stuck to a giant magnet?

Yeah, and you wearing a tank could be what's forcing you in the wrong

Where are you going? Back to the path.

But we came from that way.

Yep. I've hiked past here before and nothing that random has happened.

Maybe that storm over the weekend could confuse them.

There was that storm.

What if lightning strikes created those stones all over the island?

There's a supercharged one. It could be messing with everything, including the

octopus.

We have to find it. Lightning could have struck it anywhere.

But Sonny tracks that guy and it's up on his weather blog.

Of course he does.

Octopus performance update!

It's two hours till showtime.

We should just quit.

Ellis thinks Little Kraken is out to get him and the whole island is in a bad

mood because it's the day of the octopus and no octopuses have turned up.

Taylor and Nori don't get back in time.

I'll have to perform by myself.

With no costume, no rehearsal, and an angry audience.

Where are those octopuses?

So, lightning struck in four places.

Here, Terra Peak, Hurricane Point, and Keisha Fall.

Those places are all in opposite directions.

That would take us days to explore. We need to narrow it down.

Do you have an octopus we can ask?

Mum's latest project.

You need to come back. Now, Taylor.

Misha's quit.

Everyone's machines are breaking down when we're on stage in two hours.

All important, but right now, can you tell me if anything weird is happening

with Little Kraken?

She's a blue -blooded killer. Tried to get me with her paralyzing saliva. I'm

too young to die!

She did what?

Alice went crazy when she went up against the glass of her tank.

Like she's being pulled by a force?

I guess.

What direction is she facing?

Northwest.

Hurricane Point is on the northwest tip of the island. It's not too far from

here.

Hurricane Point? They closed it after the storm. It got smashed by lightning

is unstable.

Please let me come with you. Thanks.

I'll be back for the dance.

Getting there is going to be interesting given our maps don't work and we keep

getting lost.

Do you know any old school ways of navigating?

I know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

It's the afternoon, so that's west.

Which means that must be north.

So we head for halfway between the two.

Easy. Just need to get there and back in two hours.

The countdown's on for the concert and still no sign of any octopus.

Over there.

Hello, little friend.

Can't believe we finally found you.

No wonder Uncle Charlie loves you guys so much.

One down, couple thousand to go.

Octopus track. Come on.

The tracks lead into this cave.

Maybe they're trapped in there.

Let's get them out.

We'll need to be quick. That cave looks like it could collapse at any moment.

Can you see anything?

Listen.

More tracks.

That's a lot of octopuses.

And that rock must be a giant low stone. It must be what messed with the

octopuses' navigation and brought them here.

The tide's coming in.

And I think the cave's about to collapse.

We can't leave the octopuses. They'll die. Well, how do we get them out?

Little Kraken really wants out of here.

I know the feeling.

I mean to go help Taylor.

I think she might be needing it about now.

Laurie, remember before, when you were stuck like a fridge magnet?

We used that fallen rock.

Please tell me you brought it with you, and please tell me it will work again.

Well, I think it's the same as when two magnetic poles are pushed together. They

repel.

They're resisting each other.

If I can get close enough with this, I could free the octopus.

It's working.

The octopus, they're leaving.

But we should get out of here too.

Not until they're all safe.

Come on, suckers. Move it or lose it.

That's it. Follow the light.

I can't get any closer.

Have I gone?

Last one. Let's move.

Incredible

news.

The octopus are back.

Head down to the beach to see them and then head on to the concert. This will

a total sensation.

This is a total disaster.

At least the octopus are back.

Isn't it just wonderful they made it for the festival after all?

No.

Now they outnumber her.

Shouldn't you get ready for the show?

But Taylor's not back yet.

Well, can't Misha and Ella fill in?

That's not a great idea.

Guys, I'm sorry about today.

Call it a bad case of the show is nerves.

Can you fill in?

Please?

We're here!

How did you do it? How'd you get them here? I'll explain later, but we need to

get ready for the show.

The whole island is out there. It's packed.

Where are our costumes?

Get ready, folks.

The concert starts in five.

Off with the GPS clock. They were all affected by some giant rock... How?

The new lodestone unbalanced the island's magnetic field. And the

found neutralised enough for the island's magnetic field to return to its

natural state.

Mystery solved!

Next time I'd prefer to skip the getting stuck to the wall part. Sounds awesome.

But then why do the octopuses only appear every five years?

I think I'll wait for Uncle Charlie to return and figure that one out with him.

He'd be proud of you getting them back here.

So, time for us to dance?

Time for all four of us to dance. Ah, out there with you two?

Of course.

After today, you know, Alderman as well as Taylor.

Thanks. And everyone's in such a good mood now. They won't care if you're bad.

You could have skipped that last part.

Welcome to the day of the Octopus.

May I introduce Taylor Young and her friends.

Right the leg.

Don't say that.

Thanks, congrats.

Thanks for watching.
