- The boat has anchored. Ben goes to his room for a nap. He hears his father above deck, preparing to inspect the propeller again.
- He falls asleep, but soon Ben wakes up. Dylan's shouting at him. Their dad is injured.
- Turns out Dad's cut his hand…bad. Like, really bad. Eventually, Ben hauls him back onto the boat.
- Dad is bleeding like crazy. Ben tries to treat the wound.
- Dad's crying. At first, Ben thinks it's the pain, but it's not. Dad apologizes. Ben squeezes his hand.
- What happened, anyway? Long story short, Dad closed his hand around the blade of a knife he was using to cut away some seaweed.
- To add to the drama, Ben sees a bunch of sharks in the water. They must have been attracted to all that blood.
- Dad refuses to see a doctor. The boys are worried.
- One night, when Dylan and Ben are talking, Dylan mentions Dad cried when Ben left the boat the other day. Ben's surprised.
