Not to be confused with the episode having a similar title: "Rescue Mission".
"Marina to the rescue" (French: Super vigie) is the eighth episode of Season 4 of Zig & Sharko, and the two hundred forty-second episode overall. It is written by Mathilde Belin and storyboarded by Romain Cislo.
At the beach, Marina and the sandals are playing. Sharko, whilst asleep, is awakened by the cry of a child turtle, whose beach ball is floating adrift, and everyone panics. Sharko, while taking action, trips into a gardening rake, which bums everyone, and the child continues crying. Marina, while witnessing the situation, plans to take action and saves the day. Sharko (with the rake) stood up. Marina notices that he dropped the lifeguard's whistle and puts it back to him. Sharko laughs nervously, and said that he's okay. This gave Zig and Bernie an advantage.
Sharko goes back to the lifeguard's chair, and looks around his surroundings. He then finds an extremely tall sand castle with two children in it. Zig has the intention to kick the castle, causing it to collapse, and everyone panics again! Sharko, in his second attempt of taking action, gets stuck in too many inflatable rings, and then Bernie pushed him, making it difficult for him to stand up, which then bums everyone the second time. Marina saves the kids. Zig goes out of the sand castle with the sandwich and then puts her in it. Sharko finally stood up and hopped onto Zig, and then the floaties deflated. He picks up the whistle, and acts like he's fine, which confuses Marina for a moment.
Bernie sticks a jellyfish on the chair, and Sharko sits on it without realizing that he's now stuck. Zig brings an elephant and lets them blow the little crab holding a kite which made everyone panic yet again. Sharko failed to take action for the third time. Marina saves the little crab. Zig, while making his attempt to eat her, gets squashed by the chair Sharko is on, and then gets thrown into the volcano. Marina pulls out Sharko from getting stuck, and acts again like he's okay. Marina is now getting a suspicion from him.
Sharko now acts like a radar, and then sees an old lady turtle getting surprise attacked by Zig. Everyone panics once more. Sharko, while taking action for the fourth time, failed yet again after he gets himself stuck in the concrete (prepared by Bernie), and then gets pushed. Marina then picks up the old turtle. Eventually, she's getting sucked in by Zig using a trumpet, which alarmed Sharko. Sharko then stood up, and squished Zig, but he falls after. Sharko then gives the whistle to her, and headed back to the ship, feeling disappointed.
He lost his job as the lifeguard of the beach.
Marina, now in charge as the lifeguard, notices the two seagulls colliding on each other, which made everyone panic for the FIFTH TIME. Zig, while trying to eat her, gets buried after Marina takes action and saves the seagulls with her sandals (and inflated them) that are about to hit the ground. Everyone cheers, but unfortunately, it got stopped after the sandals bursted, causing everyone to get blown and hitting the volcano. The volcano is about to collapse with everyone on it! Marina tries to save them, but the volcano is too heavy to put it back by herself! Sharko gets distracted by the noise he heard outside, so he goes out of his room, and notices that she is trying to put back the volcano in shape. He then asks Marina to borrow one of her legs and work together to put it back. And they did! Everyone celebrates after Sharko saved the day!
Everything goes back to normal, where Sharko looks around his surroundings. He then sees the child turtle's beach ball floating adrift again! He then takes action, with the help of Marina, and picks the beach ball up. Everyone celebrates once again! Now, the two of them will take charge as lifeguards, and that's where the episode concludes!
