"Daddy Dearest" (French: "Papa Poule") is the forty-second episode from season two of Zig & Sharko and the one hundred and twentieth episode overall. It was written by Olivier Jean-Marie and storyboarded by Stéphane Annette.
In this episode, Sharko must sit on an egg until it hatches while defending Marina from Zig at the same time.
"There is an egg, all alone on the beach. Marina takes charge: someone must sit on the egg until it hatches. She asks Zig to do this, but the hyena fails miserably. Sharko must take over this huge responsibility..."
Plot
One day, after stopping Zig from dragging a sleeping Marina away from the beach, Sharko throws him so high into the air that the impact upon falling down creates a massive hole in the sand, thus uncovering a big blue egg. Marina decides to take care of it until it hatches and begs Sharko to sit on it to keep it warm, which he reluctantly agrees. Bernie then takes a photo of it, but his phone cannot identify its species.
Sharko's job starts to become difficult when he has to save Marina from being eaten by Zig while still sitting on top of the egg. Fortunately, he finds a way to get up while holding it with his butt and quickly puts a stop to it. Meanwhile, Bernie goes around the island showing everyone the photo to see if anyone recognizes the egg, but to no avail.
Sometime after, while Marina is carrying Sharko and the egg on a stroller, Zig swiftly kicks the latter into the jungle. Sharko runs after it, kicks it back in the opposite direction, and safely catches it during a jump. When he lands on the floor, he starts sliding and manages to punch Zig into the ocean before he could devour Marina. Later at night, Sharko, still sitting on the egg, is unable to get any sleep, as everytime he starts to doze off and falling off of it, Marina wakes him up by putting him back on top of it.
The following morning, Bernie finally finds the mother in a cave under the lagoon and tells her to follow him. Back at the beach, Marina announces the egg is hatching that day, but is suddenly kidnapped by Zig. Sharko runs after them holding the egg in his hands, but he is so tired from having no sleep whatsoever that he can barely keep up and eventually gets stuck in an ice cream truck. The egg then slowly starts slipping from his hands without him noticing. Marina, however, sees it, so she jumps from Zig's arms and catches it before it crashes into the ground. In that moment, the egg starts cracking, and the creature inside it is revealed: a disgusting one-eyed baby octopus. Neither Marina nor Sharko want to hold him, so they give him to Zig, who kicks him off mere seconds later. However, Bernie and the mother, a giant version of her son, arrive to shore right in that instance, thus she pummels Zig into the ground as punishment. The two cephalopods then say goodbye and Sharko falls asleep right after.
A different giant one-eyed octopus was seen in "Goin' Home";
This is the second time that Zig gets pummeled to the ground by a giant octopus for making their baby cry. It first happened during the sack race in "Birthday Party".
