MacHale Directed by Steve De Jarnatt Episode guide Previous Not a Drop to Drink Next The Pits “ Alright, we have two choices: we either hunt more food, or we starve. (Lex hands him a javelin) Tomorrow we hunt. ” — Jackson, about finding more food, in "A Fish Story" A Fish Story is the 5th episode of Flight 29 Down. It aired on October 29, 2005. It is the fifth episode of the series overall. The next episode is The Pits. The previous episode is Not a Drop to Drink. Plot With the dried food running out, Nathan, Daley, and Lex have to find food in the jungle. Nathan tries to prove himself by climbing up the tree he previously fell from. Meanwhile, Jackson tries to help out by catching fish, with little success. Eric fakes an ankle injury in order to avoid work altogether, and Melissa carries water for him. Jackson finds a series of three messages in his tent that help him to finally catch fish (use a hook, fish in rocky water, use shiny stones). Nathan succeeds at climbing the tree, only to retrieve 6 coconuts. Then, Daley and Lex show him the other fruit they found, which is plentiful (bananas, mangoes, etc.), and Nathan is embarrassed for not listening to them. At the end of the episode, everyone is seen full after eating all the fruit and fish. Eric belches. Taylor belches like a man and she, Melissa, and Eric laugh. Daley tells Nathan that, even though he didn't listen to her, his effort in climbing the coconut palm was very brave. Jackson thanks Lex, whom he thinks left him the notes on how to fish, but Lex looks confused – and then Lex gives Taylor an earrings that he found in the boys' tent, which was part of one of the clues (and identifies Taylor as their source). Taylor winks at Jackson. Music Featured Song Artist Played During Working in a Coal Mine Sugar Beats Eric is lugging water from the water spring.
