## Summary

The episode opens with Dr. Green ready to bring a seagull and a parrot back to their habitats Adventure Forest and Cicada Beach in the park after getting their check-ups at the Beanstalk Care Center. Dr. Green suddenly meets Billy and Mac ready to set up their own lab with a radar. Dr. Green then suddenly forgets what he was supposed to do as the seagull and the parrot tell him to take them back home to their natural habitats as he decides to take the birds back to their habitats. Meanwhile, Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek who have finished building their sandcastle, which was washed away by an incoming wave. Suddenly, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a horn and a blindfold

Receiving the clues, Zeek thought that the mission has something to do with taking the horn clue to a blind animal and tell the other one to move out of its path. Suddenly, Dr. Green, who hasn't returned the parrot yet, arrives towards the three who are on a mission in which Zeek presses the horn, which makes a clicking sound. Dr. Green knows that this is the same sound that a spinner dolphin makes. Dr. Green remembers that spinner dolphins gather near the beach yearly and Dr. Green makes a plan that he must go to the spot where the dolphins are, so he can study their movements and the sounds they make, which is a type of communication that dolphins do, so Dr. Green can write a dictionary with dolphin language. The trio decides to go with Dr. Green to see the dolphins as the horn clue has something to do with them. However, before he can go, he must take the parrot back to his habitat Adventure Forest before bringing the boat to see the dolphins.

Meanwhile, at the Tree House, Billy and Mac are setting up their own lab with a radar to see Dr. Green's boat on the radar. Meanwhile at Cicada Beach, Dr. Green and the trio are at the spot where the dolphins usually appear at, as explained by Dr. Green. Back at the Tree House, the radar that the twins are using breaks down. Back at Cicada Beach, the gang sees the dolphins at the spot Dr. Green usually sees them as he begins to study their movements. Back at the Tree House Again, the radar that the twins are using is reactivated again. Suddenly at Cicada Beach again, the dolphins begin spinning around aimlessly as Dr. Green thinks that the dolphins are afraid of something as the three dolphins decide to leave the spot where the gang is at, which indicates that they can't stand an unknown sound that is bothering them and can't return until the sound is gone. Marina then says that the mission has something to do with finding an unknown sound that is bothering the dolphins as the clues may point out to the solution of helping find the unknown sound. Dr. Green then presses the horn clue, which makes the same sound dolphins make (he also explains that their ears are very sensitive and can hear a sound very similar to using echolocation, which is why dolphins know where to go, very similar to the way dolphins can see with their ears by hearing echolocation.

Marina is then curious that the blindfold clue could mean that the dolphins can't see well. Fishtronaut then remembers that he saw the dolphins spinning aimlessly as Marina says that an unknown type of sound is bothering and scaring the dolphins. Marina says that the mission is to find the unknown sound and turn off the sound bothering the dolphins. Having solved the clues, the gang decides to remain silent and figure out which is the sound bothering the dolphins. Fishtronaut is then curious if this is a sound that only dolphins can hear as he decides to use his gadget the Mighty Electronic Super Ear to detect any sound, even those from a distance. The Mighty Electronic Super Ear detects a faraway sound as Fishtronaut follows the path to find the unknown sound bothering the dolphins. Meanwhile, Fishtronaut arrives towards the Tree House and tells Billy and Mac that he must turn off the radar, which could be the reason why the dolphins are bothered and confused by the sound of the radar. Meanwhile at Cicada Beach, the dolphins return to the spot where the gang is at as Marina tells Fishtronaut that the dolphins returned to the spot where the gang is at and are happy that the sound bothering them is gone. Fishtronaut found out that the sounds of the radar are bothering and scaring the dolphins. Billy and Mac didn't know that the sounds of the radar *actually* scare the dolphins. Fishtronaut then suggests the twins to use other equipment Dr. Green doesn't use anymore, but not the radar, since the radar can disturb animals far away. Fishtronaut then arrives back to Cicada Beach where Marina, Zeek, and Dr. Green are watching the happy dolphins as the gang dances with them. Suddenly, another P.O.P. arrives towards the gang and the dolphins.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** an inflatable banana

Receiving the reward, the gang and the dolphins play with the inflatable banana. Dr. Green is curious what the dolphins are telling them that "playing" is the language that brings everyone at the spot together, without a need for a translation.
