The hallmark of submarine stories is their confined settings with finite resources. Anytime there's a chance for our heroes to get outside and find fresh food, there's the danger of being so distracted that they'll miss the signs of enemies. And when your submarine is a stolen prototype of technology, as it is in Nautilus , there are always enemies about. In the sneak peek clip below of Season 1 Episode 4, 'Slippery When Wet,' the crew makes landfall and discovers an island full of ripe fruit trees, potentially fresh water, and probably something more sinister.

But worriers are gonna worry. In the case of Turan (Arlo Green), his concern that he is the most likely crew member to get eaten by a bear drives him to believe he should be armed. Nemo (Shazad Latif) doesn't agree. Probably on either point, but most definitely on the matter of the gun. Image Credit: Courtesy of AMC/AMC+ Nautilus, 'Slippery When Wet'
As captain, Nemo's orders aren't getting the traction he would like. After telling the others to gather food while he looks for a fresh water source, several of them choose to follow him instead. First, it's Turan with his inane demands for the revolver. Then Humility (Georgia Flood) and Blaster (Kayden Price) insist on coming with him. Humility doesn't want to miss out on an opportunity to discover a new species of anything. What a trained engineer cares about new species is a mystery to me. Blaster tags along because that's what he does, apparently. Image Credit: Courtesy of AMC/AMC+
The episode's synopsis from AMC/AMC+ says, ' The starving crew venture onto a seemingly deserted island in search of food, but Blaster is kidnapped by the survivors of a Company shipwreck. Nemo and Humility attempt a daring rescue mission but end up disturbing a giant electric eel. ' So, the clip introduces the island and the food. One can assume Blaster gets kidnapped because he's not with the rest of the crew, gathering food like Nemo directed.

How Archie the dog's allergies to the island's flora play into the plot remains to be seen. The idea of travelling via submarine with a dog on board boggles the mind.
New episodes of Nautilus air on AMC and AMC+ at 9 pm ET/PT on Sundays. 'Slippery When Wet' drops on July 13.
