One day, three teenage divers - Grace, Darren, and Jason - drop anchor near New York, searching for treasure. It isn't long after a shark encounter they find some: an ornate, sealed chest.

Inside the chest, the first article the trio examine is a sealed journal, over 130 years old, of the travels of one Bernadette Aronnax, from her arrival in New York to her rescue in Norway alongside titular characters Pierre, Conseil, and Ned. As Grace reads, the audience is taken through Bernadette's experiences and struggles traveling onboard the Nautilus, from battling monstrous sea creatures and escaping Atlantis to hiding her identity as a woman from Nemo.

* BookEnds: Bernadette's story begins on the Scotia, captained by her father. After the maelstrom in Norway, he picks up the gang.

* MementoMacGuffin: The giant pearl. While not powerful in any way, it is a prominent centerpiece in the salon after its recovery, and is rediscovered twice, by Bernadette and Darren, after the Nautilus goes under; Bernadette and Pierre received it from Nemo as a parting message, in the same chest the teenagers would find, and Darren lifts away the cloth with Nemo's insignia after the journal concludes with Bernadette dropping the chest into the sea, revealing the pearl to the others.

* PirateBooty: When Ned questions how Nemo can afford everything on the Nautilus, he shows them a chest filled with treasure and says that no shipwreck can elude him, just before taking the crew pearl hunting.

* WhamLine: As the Nautilus rocks and our intrepid quartet sit confused in the dinghy, Ned manages to pick out a startling detail from the panic of the crew:
