Show Notes: Sharkey’s Place – Season 2, Episode 2: "Sharkey's Poseidon Adventure"
The morning after Thanksgiving brings a somber mood to Milbridge as the community mourns a local legend. While the holiday provided some much-needed rest for the staff, a sudden loss at the Inky Squid sends shockwaves through the regulars at Sharkey’s.
In this episode:
- A Legend Lost: Aiden and Caiden arrive at Sharkey’s in a state of grief to announce the passing of Poseidon, the famous blue lobster that lived in the Inky Squid’s tank for twenty years.
- Augusta Bound: The crew learns the tragic details of Poseidon’s demise—a failed transfer to a new restaurant in Augusta where the "inland people" couldn't maintain the proper pH levels.
- Motherly Meddling: Myra struggles with "the witch" (her son Ethan’s girlfriend, Isabel), as the young couple prepares to head to Cape Elizabeth for the holiday.
- The Woodsman of Cape Elizabeth: Myra recounts a chaotic Thanksgiving dinner featuring a "gorgeous" estate, a dry turkey, and the high-speed pursuit of "Wally the Woodsman" across the Godspeed family lawn.
- Eternal Gaze: Captain Gordon finds a way to keep Poseidon’s memory alive, leading a ceremonial "Sky, Salt, Sea" toast before enshrining the blue lobster on the walls of Sharkey’s Place.
