Il court prévenir son grand-père qui lui dit qu’il n’y a rien à faire. Le soleil chauffe de plus en plus et l’orque risque de mourir de chaleur. Mais Dylan doit essayer de sauver l’orque. Il prend des draps et des serviettes pour couvrir la peau délicate de l’animal et se met à transporter des seaux d’eau de mer pour le garder hydraté. C’est une tâche épuisante et il faudra des heures avant que la marée remonte et que l’eau soit assez haute pour que l’orque se dégage des rochers et se libère. Angus est ému par la détermination de son petit-fils et l’aide du mieux qu’il peut. Ensemble, ils espèrent que l’orque puisse aller rejoindre sa famille qui l’appelle au loin.
