Mindful of both frustrations, Randolph proceeds to tell Jesse the legend of Natsilane and gives him a carved orca pendant on a necklace to remind him of the power of his special connection to Willy. Meanwhile, resentment and disrespect from the petulant Elvis continues to be a problem for him. He is invited on their trip to San Juan Island so that he and Jesse might get to know one another.Īt the environmental institute there, Jesse reunites with his old Native American friend Randolph Johnson whom Jesse met at the aquatic park when he met Willy ( August Schellenberg) and quickly becomes smitten with Randolph's attractive and kindly goddaughter, Nadine ( Mary Kate Schellhardt), but is reluctant to romantically approach her out of concern for his friendship with Randolph. Elvis is sulky, overly talkative, and mischievous, and he is also prone to telling lies and easily gets on Jesse's nerves. Before they leave town, however, Dwight, Jesse's former social worker, shows up to inform Jesse that his birth mother, who abandoned him 8 years ago, was found in New York City, but has died and that she left behind her other son, Jesse's half-brother named Elvis( Francis Capra). Jesse, now a hardy and responsible teenager, has an eye for girls, and he and his parents are preparing to go on a family camping trip to the Pacific Northwest.

It's been two years since Jesse saved and freed his orca friend, Willy and has since been adopted by his foster parents, Glen and Annie Greenwood.
