Flashbacks?

When the Ricks' show up at the sight where a dolphin was last seen, the man announces the dolphin left an hour before, but he invites them to have breakfast. Sandy starts telling the man all about Flipper.

In this episode, we see footage of a younger Sandy. I've watched the original movie that had Chuck Connors as Porter Ricks, and I don't remember this scene. It's been awhile since I watched it, so it's possible I'd just forgotten, but I don't remember Sandy saving Flipper that way. Did it really happen? Do I need to go back and watch the movie again? Perhaps!

We see more flashbacks, then we watch as Flipper saves yet another life and gets trapped in another man's life. How will he ever get home?
