The Big Question: "Do sea monsters really exist?"
Synopsis: Finding out how crucial the ocean is to our ecosystem, Harrison discovers that although monsters might get the attention, it's the little things that count. For example, a tiny creature called phytoplankton creates half of the oxygen that we breathe. Using potatoes, a marine biologist helps Harrison figure out how fish drink!
My Great Challenge: Harrison hosts a challenge for his guests to figure out how to make plasticine float... then, with musical accompaniment, he reveals the identity of "the monster in the sea".
In the Field: Harrison visits the shark tank of a sea aquarium to find out if it's true that sharks die if they fall asleep.
