The Bering Sea presents a treacherous challenge in the latest episode of Deadliest Catch, as Captain Sig faces a man overboard crisis for the first time in his lengthy career. Airing on Discovery on Tuesday night, the episode titled “The Purpose of Porpoises” reveals a dramatic turn of events when a crew member ends up in the icy waters.
This intense and unexpected incident isn’t the only challenge faced by the captains and their crews. Johnathan, for instance, finds himself short on crab, but a surprising ally appears in the form of thousands of porpoises, which guide the Time Bandit towards a promising new direction.
Meanwhile, tensions rise as Jack goes head-to-head with Wild Bill.
Deadliest Catch: The Purpose of Porpoises airs on Tuesday, 24 July 2024, at 8:00 p.m. on Discovery.
