This episode introduces the character of Dr Raleigh Young, who will reappear again in Greed For a Pirate's Dream. In an attempt to study a "Black Smoker" Young releases a probe to study the smoker. When Darwin is infected by bacteria from the smoker, and falls ill, Bridger chooses to delay the mission in hopes of finding help for the dolphin. This also introduces Dr. Malcolme Lansdowne, veterinarian for sea mammals, old friend of Bridgers, and soon to be romantic pursuer of Westphalen's. In the end, when Darwin is dying, Bridger releases him, and gets on with mission, only to have Darwin return having been healed by "Dolphin medicine". We learn that Communications officer Tim O'Neill is fluent in 6 languages and ok in a dozen more.

SeaQuest rescues the warden and cryogenically frozen inmate from a collapsing Antarctic prison, only to discover that the warden is really the prisoner, mass murderer Dr. Rubin Zellar. Zellar escapes and threatens to release a biotoxin, unless Bridger fires a nuclear missile at the nations who paid for his work. Bridger tricks Zellar by firing the disabled missiles into the ocean, but it's Westphalen who puts the final period on things when she seeks revenge for Zellar's murder of her brother. She threatens to shoot the doctor, then spills a vial of "toxin" (water, as it turns out) on him after making him beg for his life.

Yaphet Kotto as Captain Jack Clayton is aboard for an inspection tour, and insisting the sciences are nothing but dead weight, while Krieg has found "Krieglite" a glowing substance from the sea bottom. While the crew sneaks around, gathering all the Krieglite they can to sell to Krieg's dealer, Bridger and Clayton are at constant odds. In the end, a giant squid attacks seaQuest, Darwin saves the day, and Krieglite turns out to be nothing but "Fish poop"

Interesting and strange fact which we learn: Beef has been banned due to the infamous methane releases of cattle (apparently all that methane being put out be heavy industry is okay though).

SeaQuest is ordered to destroy a crumbling munitions dump which has become unstable, but discovers a group of orphaned children living inside. They rescue all but one, who insists on remaining and Lucas has his first onstage romance with one (Kellie Martin as Chloe). With the structure of the plant rapidly weakening, the remaining boy takes Ford hostage, until Bridger finally faces him "Captain to Captain," and he finally surrenders.

While exploring a sunken space station, The Liberte, Ford and several other crewmembers are infected with an unknown virus. Bridger gets a French genetic scientist to help save them (he was one of the original astronauts), only to discover that a cure may lie with a dead man still on the ship. When a warship arrives to destroy the last evidence of the research into biological warfare aboard the Liberte, Bridger barely manages to get the information they need in time. Notable for Krieg's attempts to cheer up the ailing Ford in the isolation ward, and it's less than ideal effects, when Ford loses his temper and unintentionally rips Krieg's bio hazard suit.

The holloween episode, starts with Bridger being hurled across his cabin after spotting the ghost of a young woman in antique garb. Soon, the seaQuest discovers the wreck of the RMS King George which sank during the early twentieth century. After finding a light burning in a porthole, and discovering that she is still watertight, a team from the seaQuest, including Bridger, Lucas, Westphalen, Crocker, Ford, Hitchcock, and Levin, boards her. They find a working generator, and evidence that the captain committed suicide. Ghostly events follow, as the dead captain tries to hide a secret, and Westphalen is possessed by the ghost of a dead nanny, with exactly the same measurements. In the end, all is set right, when the ghosts forgive each other, and go off to the great beyond, while we are left to wonder if it was all just oxygen deprivation, because the crew's warning badges have all gone red. Notable for the news that Lucas is a virgin, Bridger believes in ghosts, Westphalen doesn't, and Levin actually has some expertise in the area.

A French sightseeing sub has disappeared off the coast of Florida, with a group of school children aboard, while a hurricane threatens overhead. With Krieg and Ford at the wheel, and Lucas and Westphalen aboard, one of the subs discovers what probably happened to all those schoolkids, when they nearly get lost in a freshwater sinkhole, where, as it turns out, everything is much heavier. They escape in time, and wind up in a raft, in the Sargasso sea, leaving the seaQuest torn between rescuing the children, or their fellow crewmembers. Darwin goes hunting for "Bad water" (fresh water), the crew on the raft lose their radio, and build a kite. All turns out fine in the end, when seaQuest finds the children, and their people. Notable for the fact that seaQuest supposedly takes a direct hit from a lightening bolt down their communications cable, an utter impossibility underwater, and the fact that every guy on the raft manages to get his arms around the doc before they get rescued.

The seaQuest's air conditioning isn't working, so Krieg uses his sub-legal connections to get them from "The Regulator", Leslie ______, an eccentric scientist to travels with his orangutan, Verne. When Bridger finds out, he throws Leslie off (Bridger knows him from his days on the island), but not before Leslie finds out about Lucas' talking dolphin. The regulator kidnaps Darwin in hopes of proving his cosmological theories about spherical evolution, and we discover that he is a former boy genius who went nuts, tuned in, turned on, and dropped out…way out. They get Darwin back, but we are left to wonder if this is meant to be a bit of a warning to another boy genius (IE Lucas), who initially thought the Regulator was seriously cool.

• W. Morgan Sheppard as The Professor

When they arrive, the seaQuest discovers the capsule empty, and soon discover that the Vietnamese President has rescued them first in hopes of a public relations coup. Instead, one of his generals holds the mars crew hostage, until they can be rescued by the seaQuest crew.

With a competition for the UEO, to decide which model will be put into production, the crew builds a new stinger. Lucas's design is beaten by an eccentric inventor, who saved Lucas's life during the accident, while a corporation is revealed to have stolen the stinger, and harmed Lucas.

Westphalen bargains for their lives, by offering to use Darwin to help the boy. Tezloff surrenders aboard, while Westphalen works with the boy, and everyone is having odd dreams. Though Tezloff is safely in custody, old enemies are determined to get their revenge, and threaten to depth charge seaQuest, unless he is turned over. Finally, Tezloff is handed over to his former countrymen. Westphalen talks Lansdowne into adopting Tezloff's son, Caesar (which is not at all what he'd had in mind).

The UEO unravels a complex plot by UEO Secretary General Dre to take more power. Using computer trickery to make it look as though the hostages are not being held, Bridger races against time to find where they've been hidden, and finally discovers them deep in the facility, on the virge of being drowned.

Ford sees a mermaid while testing a deep sea suit, and everyone thinks it was just rapture of the deep, until he sees her again in an island bar, and takes her aboard seaQuest. It turns out she has gills, and her father is a man named Abalon, who has some kind of undersea base. Ford is kidnapped by Abalon's sons, who are intent on turning him into a fish-boy too. Bridger takes a submersible and rescues Ford, after we learn that Abalon is a long thought dead scientist, who retreated from the real world, to the sea.

When seaQuest discovers a million year old spaceship deep under the sea, life gets odd. A crew, including Bridger's old friend, Scott Keller, boards her to take pictures, while aboard the seaQuest, an alien seems to be taking a look around, moving through the walls…and making assorted crewmembers disappear. In the end, Darwin is the answer to communicating with the alien creature, which is really only a fancy hologram, generated by the alien ship. Apparently, dolphins were the smartest animal on the planet when the aliens arrived, and they're feeling protective. The crewmembers are returned, the ship crumbles to dust, and the crew sends a message to the coordinates left by the aliens, then agrees to a vow of secrecy about it.

The seaQuest torpedoes a submarine supposedly fleeing after stealing a fortune in emeralds, only to discover it's rescuing children from a south American country ruled by a military regime, lead by General Guzmano. Westphalen is also handed a nasty surprise when it turns out her daughter is also aboard the sub, helping to rescue the children. The crew begins unloading the children, and is just removing the last batch, when a ship begins dropping depth charges. SeaQuest leaves the submersible behind, in hopes of drawing the attacker's off. Aboard the small sub, Westphalen's daughter is seriously injured, and the crew escapes onto the very island the children were fleeing, to hide in the slums. Guzmano's people are searching for the crew and Westphalen's daughter is worsening, so Ford and Shan steal supplies, then decide to make a break for it. Pretending that Cynthia Westphalen is dead, and Westphalen is part of procession of women who visit the homes of the dying, the crew makes their way to the beach, arriving as a raft from the seaQuest appears. They escape safely, despite a hail of gunfire. Guzmano is murdered on the beach by his second in command, who will now presumably be in charge.

A powerplant designed by Lucas's father is about to go online, and solve the world's power problems. Meanwhile, the seaQuest is just finishing her first tour, leaving the crew to figure out what to do next. Ford and Hitchcock are both considering the same job as a captain on a supertanker. Crocker contemplates retirement, now that his wife has left him. Bridger and Westphalen celebrate with dinner, and a good old fashioned snogging session, which Lucas interrupts with a surprise, a virtual "hello" from Bridger's dead wife. When the powerplant malfunctions, dumping lava into the ocean, and threatening to melt the polar ice caps, Bridger decides to seal the crack by plunging seaQuest into the breach. The crew escapes, then watches in horror as the sea boils where the seaQuest was due to explode. Moments later, Bridger arrives, having escaped at the last moment in Lucas's stinger.
