Synopsis
All hope seems lost for the kids, until Whamon shows up, ambushing MetalSeadramon and carrying them away. Minutes later, MetalSeadramon begins a search with a group of Divermon, while Whamon finds a distant island where the kids can rest. After everyone attempts to fish on the island, Gomamon hears of some nearby Divermon from a school of fish and they're soon on the run. Whamon escapes by swimming to an area of high pressure in the ocean where the Divermon cannot follow, but MetalSeadramon catches up. When Whamon surfaces near a coast, Agumon digivolves to WarGreymon in order to fight MetalSeadramon. While the other Digimon defend the kids, MetalSeadramon attemptes to crush WarGreymon in his jaws.

Digivolutions
(Number indicates order of occurrence.)

Dubbing changes

 * In the original version, MetalSeadramon is defeated at the end of the episode, whilst in the English dub, the scene of his death, plus Whamon's sacrifice, is moved to the beginning of the next episode.
 * Gatomon does not sing along with Matt's harmonica when catching a fish in the original episode.

Real-world references

 * Though the title may simply refer to the expression of being under pressure, it may also be a reference to the Queen/David Bowie song of the same name.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Whamon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * Last time Whamon appeared, in Departure for a New Continent, he was at the Champion level, but in this episode, he's at the Ultimate level, sometimes referred to as Whamon Perfect, (Perfect being the Japanese equivalent of Ultimate).
 * Except for the first Digimon movie, this is the only time Kari is seen using her whistle (Gatomon also uses it in the final episode).
