Strange episode

This is a strange one. First of all, Dino Terranova convinces Bud and Sandy that Flipper is his reincarnated brother. Then Sandy tells Dino Terranova that he'd report to his father that he was poaching. Things get more complicated when Porter shows up, only to arrest the nephew instead of Dino Terranova.

The fact that Sandy and Bud believe is story is even more unreal.

I think the highlight of this episode is when Flipper saves Dino from dying at the bottom of the ocean.

The heroics of the grandson doesn't seem to make since. The heroics of Porter Ricks seems a bit more bizzar...
