In the Florida Keys, Ma-Ti has a brush with what he thinks is a giant man eating shark, though Gi reveals that it is a harmless Basking Shark. When a local overhears and misinterprets their conversation, panic spreads throughout the resort town, whose mayor then hires Argos Bleak to eradicate all the sharks in the bay. Then, when stinging jellyfish (that the sharks used to feed on) swarm the beach, the townspeople learn that predators have an important role in the ecosystem. After escaping their sinking EcoCopter that was shot down by Bleak, the other Planeteers rescue Gi and Ma-Ti (who were captured earlier by Bleak) . . . and the Basking Shark . . . from bloodthirsty Bleak.moreless

      • Bleak: (to himself) Nothing. Maybe those yokels made it up. Maybe there is no giant killer shark.
        Ma-Ti: Maybe Bleak will give up the hunt.
        Gi: Right, and maybe nuclear waste will turn out to be good for you health.

      • Gi: Ma-Ti, why didn't you just use your Heart power to send the shark away? Ma-Ti: I do not know. I guess I was too scared to think straight. Gi: Are you too scared to finish breakfast? Ma-Ti: Gi, I thought I was breakfast! It is not every day I run into a 40 foot shark. (a waitress, who has overheard Ma-Ti's story, gasps) Even if it is not a man-eater. Waitress: Murray, did ya hear that?! Some kid was attacked by a giant man-eating shark! Murray: Whoa! A man-eater?! (he exits the diner to spread the news to the whole city) Ma-Ti: Maybe that big guy was not after me. But sharks still give me the creeps. Gi: Ma-Ti, there are more than 350 kinds of sharks, and most of them are harmless. Ma-Ti: Yeah. How 'bout that killer shark in that movie? It was a man-eater. Gi: That movie gave sharks a bad rap. Even so-called "man-eaters" rarely attack people. The funny thing is, you're about 10 times more likely to be killed by a falling airplane part than by a shark. Ma-Ti: I guess maybe I did overreact. Gi: (laughs) Come on. Let's go swimming.

      • Planeteers: Go, Planet!
        Mayor: Thanks to you, we now have to worry about jellyfish! You're fired, Bleak!

      • Bleak: (firing a harpoon at Planet) Eat cold steel, Planet! Planet: (catching the harpoon) Uhhh, sorry, I'm on a diet. So let's just wrap things up, Bleak. [Bleak cuts the rope] Bleak: I'm tired of you cutting into my net profits! [Bleak fires a harpoon containing a net inside its head] Planet: (ripping the net away) Sorry, you're looking at a net loss! Bleak: You're oil washed up, Planet! [Bleak sprays Planet with an oil hose] Gi: Here comes the basking shark. It's hurt. [The basking shark rams Bleaks boat, causing it to sink, and allowing Planet to wash off the oil. The sharks then proceeds to go after Bleak] Bleak: Noooo! Get away! Somebody help me! Don't let it get me! Planet: Well, I'd hate to see that poor basking shark get indigestion. [Saves Bleak from the shark HE was trying to kill] Bleak: Aren't you gonna kill that predatory monster? Planet: I'm letting you live, so why don't you live and let live!
