Shelly sneaks Noah on the boat and the two of them split the dye bottles between them and squeeze the thick fuchsia gel into the toilets of the gambling boat. Noah and Abbey pool all their money together and buy dozens of vials of bright pink food dye. Noah, Abbey and Shelly plot to expose the boat's owner once and for all. She knows the owner and gets a job as a bartender on the boat so that she can have access to the boat's daily operations. When Lice mysteriously goes missing, his girlfriend, Shelly, offers to help. On the suggestion of Paine, the kids recruit the help of Lice, a sleazy guy who used to work on the boat. The kids do some surveillance work and confirm that the owner is still dumping sewage into the water. Noah and his younger sister, Abbey, decide to investigate the Coral Queen themselves, which had been refloated, cleaned and put back into operation. She loves the beautiful water and beaches just as much as her husband does but she has her children to think of and her mortgage to pay.
