The Return (S02E01)

Jason and Brett are excitedly anticipating Neri and Charlie's return, a sentiment shared by Dr. Hellegren from UBRI, who is particularly interested in studying Charlie, the humpback whale. In preparation for Neri's arrival, the boys visit her island, where they discover a silver pendant nestled within a peculiar flower. When Dr. Hellegren's helicopter crashes into the sea, Charlie calls out to Neri, prompting her to rush to his aid, but she ends up getting captured. With Charlie's help, Neri escapes just moments before Captain Sam Phillips arrives to rescue Hellegren, a newcomer to ORCA. Dianne’s research contract gets an extension, but her son soon proves to be a handful for everyone. Jason and Brett are thrilled to welcome Neri back home.
