Lost

Lost is the second episode of Sealab 2020. It aired on NBC on 16 September 1972.
== Summary ==
Sealab and the nearby marine life are threatened by a red tide. At the same time, Gail Adams adopts a dolphin calf, and names him Tuffy. She believes that she can train him to be a lifeguard. The others decide to let her give it a shot.
However, Tuffy proves difficult to train, as all he can think about is eating fish. Many of these are specimens brought back by the divers for experiments. Gail is reluctant to return Tuffy to his environment, but soon does so, only to end up missing him.
Later, the divers find Tuffy in a sea cave, fighting off a moray eel. After this, Gail finally accepts the fact that releasing Tuffy is the right thing to do, and hopes he'll be all right wherever he goes.
== Trivia ==
* Tuffy is never seen again after this episode.
* The United States Navy's Sealab project of the 1960s trained a real dolphin named Tuffy as a rescue animal before the project was permanently shut down.
