History Recap / NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWaterE3TheRiddleOfTheGiantSeaMonsters

* ShoutOut: Again, Captain Melville's name is a nod to ''Literature/MobyDick''.

Jean, Nadia, and King are rescued from the ocean by a passing American battleship called the ''Abraham''. Its captain, Melville, and his first mate Holland, are on the trail of a supposed "sea monster" responsible for sinking countless ships in the Pacific Ocean.

Jean is intrigued to be aboard the vessel, but Nadia is gravely suspicious. While on the ship, they also meet Ayerton Grenavan, a flamboyant "scientist" who claims to be funding the pursuit.

That night, the ''Abraham'' is attacked by a mysterious and dangerous presence. A torpedo finally strikes the Abraham, causing Jean, Nadia, King, and their aircraft to be thrown overboard into the ocean again.

* LargeHam: Captain Melville.

* TheLoad: Even without the despised Island episodes, it's clear even this early that Ayerton's this.
* ShoutOut: Again, Captain Melville's name is a nod to ''Literature/MobyDick''.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Again, the ''Gratan'' vs. the American Naval Battleship ''Abraham''. It's a funny little steampunk tank vs. a fully outfitted floating war machine. You do the math.

* SurroundedByIdiots: Hanson, exasperated by his colleagues early on in the episodes, starts to express this opinion aloud...until Grandis kicks him in the face.

* MeatVersusVeggies: Nadia tell Ayerton she's vegetarian because of ethical concern about animal life.

* LetsGetDangerous: Subverted The Grandis Gang ''tries'' to do this when the ''Abraham'' opens fire and they counter attack...and it doesn't work.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Even Granvis knows when they've been beaten and surrenders to the ''Abraham'' (doesn't hurt that the ''Gratan'' is sinking and they need rescuing).

* MeaningfulName: A Captain name Melville hunting a giant sea monster. Where have we heard [[Literature/MobyDick that]] one before?

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Jean, Nadia, and King are knocked overboard in the middle of the ocean and nobody on the ''Abraham'' saw them go over (and even if they did, Melville and his crew have got problems of their own thanks to the 'Sea Monster' attack).

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The ''Abraham'' is clearly named after the 16th American President (Lincoln's legacy was still in recent memory at this point in the 19th Century).

* CurbStompBattle: The ''Gratan'' vs. the American Naval Battleship ''Abraham''. Of course, then the ''Abraham'' winds up getting its clocks cleaned by the 'Sea Monster' in the episode's second half.
