Storyline

An emotional time is at hand as the seaQuest's tour of duty comes to an end; Chief Crocker faces his retirement and the end of his marriage, Commanders Ford and Hitchcock are offered the same command, and Captain Bridger and Dr. Westphalen begin a romantic relationship. Most emotional of all is Lucas who realizes that his father is hardly a part of his life anymore. However, when the Earth's crust begins to crack open underneath his father's power plant, the world is threatened by an unstoppable rise in ocean temperature which will melt the polar caps. With lava seeping into the sea, Bridger must sacrifice the seaQuest in order to save the world.

Ortiz says the WSKRS are on "bow lock" as Seaquest is moving over 150mph. In the next scene, where Seaquest is moving around 200mph, the WSKRS are following along as normal.

Primitive Special Effects!!

The last episode of the first season all Seaquest's crew are in ground waiting for a decision of disband the whole project, meanwhile Dr Wolenczac start up a underwater power plant to provide a clean energy to entire world, suddenly the plate under the plant cracked into a river of lava, so all Seaquest's crew has to running to try saves the members of the plant including this important scientist who is the real Lucas's father, then Captain Nathan has a heroic act trying to save the rescue operation, but like always he escape in last few seconds, Spielberg does it all the time, the primitive special effects spoils the episode, probable the last episode that l've seen because the second and third season never came out here in Brazil, unfortunately!!!
