Fernie's Notebook

"Fernie's Notebook" is the second segment of the second episode of the Disney Jr. series Ariel. It premiered on June 27, 2024 alongside "Ursula's Magic Camp".
==Plot==
Sebastian welcomes everyone to the Atlantica Show and Tell, which is where everyone shows the audience about their favorite things. Fernie tells Ariel and Flounder that he plans to talk about fish first, and Ariel states that whatever fish Fernie chooses, he'll do fin-tastic, as he always shows the coolest facts for show and tell. Fernie states he wouldn't know anything without his notebook, which he puts every fish fact he ever learned here, which he calls "Fernie's Fish Facts". Fernie mentions what kind of fish Flounder is, and states that one day, he will be a marine biologist. Ariel and Flounder like it, and Lucia is the first one to do the show and tell.
After everyone cheers for her, Lucia does a magic trick, one that makes a fish go out of a hat, but it is a squid. He then swims away while taking Fernie's notebook. While the next person does the show and tell, Lucia apologizes for what happened, and Fernie wonders what he will do now. Ariel, Flounder, and Lucia decide to help Fernie get his notebook back due to how important it is to him. They then chase the squid, which is a cephalopod.
They then chase him around different stores and across the sea. Ariel sees the cephalopod behind the rock, but it then goes away. Fernie mentions that squids can change their colors to look like rocks when they want to hide, which is called camouflage. Ariel, Lucia, Fernie, and Flounder split up to find the squid. Lucia then finds the squid, and the chase continues. Eventually, the squid drops the notebook into a deep and dark trench. Fernie states that lots of moon jellyfish live there and light up whenever new visitors show up. Ariel then goes into the trench.
Once there, the jellyfish light up, and Fernie was right. The others head into the trench and are delighted by the jellyfish. Ariel sees Fernie's notebook bouncing on more jellyfish. Flounder gets it and gives it to Fernie. However, when he heads out of the trench, a fish eats it, upsetting him. Ariel, Lucia, and Flounder are sorry for him. Ariel, Lucia, and Flounder then tell Fernie what he recently learned without using his notebook. This motivates him, and he decides to do the show and tell without the notebook. Ariel tells Fernie that he can trust in what he knows if he tries. Fernie then mentions more facts regarding fish, and everyone then returns to the show and tell.
Once there, Fernie shows everyone the fish facts, and they applaud it. Fernie shares everyone one more show and tell fact: his friends Ariel, Lucia, and Flounder, which he thanks for all their help, and calls it the best fish fact he has and a Fernie Friendship Fact.
