- Okay, so we guess now's a good a time as any to check back in on Nemo and the Tank Gang.
- Nemo's kind of sad that his dad probably isn't looking for him. After all, he's really scared of the ocean. Oh, Nemo. If only you knew.
- Gill explains to Nemo that all drains lead to the ocean. Even toilets. (Shmoop side note: this is actually not true. It would be a very, very bad idea to try to release your fish back into the sea by flushing them down the potty.)
- When the dentist takes a bathroom break, the fish jump into action. Nemo swims up into the filter and wedges a pebble into the fan at the end of the tube. Mission accomplished! High fins all around!
- Not quite. When Nemo tries to swim up the tub and out of the filter, the pebble comes out of place and the fan starts to work again, sucking Nemo towards it.
- Gill jumps into action and pushes a piece of tank greenery up the tube. Nemo clamps onto it with his teeth and the other fish pull him free.
- The plan has failed…and Gill knows it. He can't make Nemo go back in there again. It's too dangerous. Their great fish escape has been foiled.
